John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray

Dries hair out!

I can't give it less stars because it actually does lighten your hair. It works, but the price you pay is dry & damaged hair. I used it last summer for months without realizing that the spray was to blame for my dry hair. I thought it was from too much sun or chlorine. When I finally figured out the problem, it was too late and my hair was beyond repair. I tried everything to get moisture back into may hair, but it ultimately had to be chopped off. It was gross. So if you don't mind the price of dry hair, it works. It's just not worth it to me and I will never use it again.

Joico Color Endure Violet Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Perfect!

If you bleach or color your hair to any shade of blonde, this is a must-have! It tones all of those orangey colors right out of your hair. I usually color my hair to make it lighter, but recently I bleached (never again!) and my hair looked highlighter yellow! Horrible. After using this for just three days, my hair turned a beautiful, shiny white-blonde. I didn't need to add color, just tone! I have been using this stuff for years. I tried lots of other brands of violet shampoo, but none have the same effect because they just aren't violet enough! I can't say much for the conditioner though, I'm not a fan. I get the liters from Ulta and they last for about six months. And just a tip: if you're having a problem with your color (like when I bleached!) wet your hair just a little bit and apply the shampoo a few minutes before getting in the shower. It allows the hair to absorb the color, instead of the water so it works faster & better.
