Pureology Strength Cure Blonde Conditioner 1 L

I want to start off by saying my hair is actually a natural, cool blonde, and not brassy or dyed blonde, so I can’t say how well this purple conditioner works at toning brassy/dyed hair. The Pureology Strength Cure Blonde conditioner has a nice smell that isn’t too strong. It’s a pretty purple color that seems like it would do a good job toning brassy hair. It’s also vegan, which is something I look for when buying haircare products. As I said before, my hair isn’t brassy, so I can’t rate how well this conditioner tones brassy hair; my review is just based on how well it works as a regular conditioner.

As I said before, my hair isn’t brassy, so I can’t rate how well this conditioner tones brassy hair; my review is just based on how well it works as a regular conditioner. As a conditioner, I thought this product was just okay. It made my hair a little smoother, but my hair actually felt softer and looked shinier when I used the Pureology Strength Cure Blonde shampoo by itself. My hair had more fly-aways after I used this conditioner. I also noticed that this conditioner contains amodimethicone, a silicone that can build up in hair and cause it to become brittle over time. The shampoo has the same type of silicone in it, so I would be afraid to use them together for an extended time. In the past, my hair became brittle from extended use of shampoo/conditioner with silicone, so I’ve switched to silicone-free hair products and noticed a big improvement. Overall, I thought the Pureology Strength Cure Blonde conditioner was just okay. It didn’t work as well as my regular (silicone-free) conditioner, and this one is much more expensive. It wouldn’t be worth the money for me to buy it, but it was nice to try it out. This condition would probably work better for someone who needs the toning aspect of it. As a regular conditioner, it’s just not for me.

I received Pureology Strengthen and Cure Conditioner to test and review from Influenster. First I want to start off by saying the smell of this conditioner is very nice and def better than other brands I've tried. The conditioner didn't change my brassiness after just one use but after using it the second time and then the third I could def tell a difference in the color of my hair it was shinier, softer, and my brassiness started to disappear. I honestly was most impressed after using it and then brushing my hair that my hair wasn't left feeling dried out and still tangled and hard to brush. When you have fine long hair and it's colored like mine you want a Conditioner that helps not something that leaves you feeling like you still have to purchase two other ... MoreI received Pureology Strengthen and Cure Conditioner to test and review from Influenster.

When you have fine long hair and it's colored like mine you want a Conditioner that helps not something that leaves you feeling like you still have to purchase two other products just so it's not left feeling frizzy or to keep it from breaking. My hair after using this conditioner was very different and I loved it. I would def recommend this Pureology Conditioner and I do see a difference in the strength of my hair. Another good thing about this brand of conditioner is since my hair is fine it didn't leave my hair feeling weighed down with no body or volume. So I was very happy with that also. So to the ladies looking for a purple conditioner that actually is going to help your hair needs after all we do it this is a great product. I will purchase this product and I have found a Conditioner that actually helps my hair.

A Purple Conditioner That Actually Works

I used a friend's Pureology set and was shocked at how soft and smooth it made my hair even though that particular formula wasn't quite right for my hair type. I needed to restock my shampoo and conditioner and decided to try this brand.I selected the Strength Cure line because it has what I'm looking for: damage control, color protection, and hydration. I use the regular Strength Cure shampoo with the Strength Cure Blonde Purple conditioner.I was shocked at *how* purple this conditioner is. I was expecting one of those pastel purple conditioners that doesn't really do the same job a purple or blue shampoo does but is a nice placebo for brass control. Pureology's purple conditioner is almost indigo, and it will definitely turn your hands and nails a bit blue for ... MoreI used a friend's Pureology set and was shocked at how soft and smooth it made my hair even though that particular formula wasn't quite right for my hair type.

I was expecting one of those pastel purple conditioners that doesn't really do the same job a purple or blue shampoo does but is a nice placebo for brass control. Pureology's purple conditioner is almost indigo, and it will definitely turn your hands and nails a bit blue for a few minutes.That being said, I notice a marked difference in how vibrant my blonde looks after using. My natural hair pulls red as it grows out, clashing with the ashy tone of the bleached strands. I know it's time to see my hair sorceress when I've got coppery roots. Using this conditioner has really improved the cool tone of my hair, so I guess I'll have to actually set reminders to get my color retouched...Beyond the color correction, this conditioner really leaves my hair soft and manageable. I have almost no tangles straight out of the shower. My natural waves are more defined and bouncy, and I can go outside in 90% humidity without turning into an immediate frizzball.My one complaint is the scent. It smells like Play-Doh, which as a kid was fun but as an adult is not a smell I want lingering on my mane. Considering you have to leave this in for a few minutes to get the best results, the fragrance is a small torture. Overall, though, the results are worth it. The scent doesn't linger too badly, and I've been able to mask it with a leave-in conditioner.For reference: I have longer dishwater blonde hair with a balayage. I was using Joico's Defy Damage line for shampoo and conditioner and the Blonde Life brightening mask, and while it did the job, I was still battling frizzy and coarse strands. The longer I used it, the less effective it seemed to be.

Best Ever for Blonde Colored Hair!

I received both the shampoo and conditioner products free for testing purposes from Influenster and Pureology. I'm going to give a completely honest review as well! Even if I had purchased these products, I would still give both 5/5 stars! They smell amazing and left my hair feeling so soft and healthy! I have long, wavy, fine hair, my natural hair color is brown, but I get full platinum blonde highlights approximately every 2-3 months, so my hair is damaged from the bleach and chemicals. I noticed right away, after just one use of the shampoo and conditioner that the brassiness and warm tones were nearly eliminated, which was exactly what I was hoping for. They worked so well to tone my hair back to the neutral, cooler tone I originally had when I last got ... MoreI received both the shampoo and conditioner products free for testing purposes from Influenster and Pureology.

I noticed right away, after just one use of the shampoo and conditioner that the brassiness and warm tones were nearly eliminated, which was exactly what I was hoping for. They worked so well to tone my hair back to the neutral, cooler tone I originally had when I last got highlights. I was amazed at how well it worked for that. My hair tangles very easily and the conditioner greatly improved the dryness of my hair and scalp, my hair doesn't feel as brittle or "like straw" from the coloring process. It didn't take me as long to comb out my tangles and once my hair was dry, it felt so much softer and healthier immediately. I also noticed the more I used these products, the more improvement I felt and saw as well! I wash my hair about 2-3 times/week and these products do not dry out my hair like other "purple" shampoos, etc can do. They actually moisturize your hair and scalp and improve everything. I highly recommend both the Pureology shampoo and conditioner for anyone who has blonde highlights, brassiness or damage! They work amazingly and I will continue to purchase and use these, even after my samples are gone! They've made a loyal, lifelong customer out of me now!

Cuts Brassiness And Frizz

I received the Pureology Strength Cure Blonde #VoxBox complimentary to test from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. This review is for the Pureology Strength Cure Blond Conditioner. I'm tossed up whether to give this a 4 or 5 but will go with a 5 due to the fantastic results. This is a thick conditioner and it's purple with a wonderful scent. Just like the Pureology Strength Cure Blond Shampoo, I felt that it plumped up my hair strands which make them feel thicker. The conditioner cuts down on brassiness and it also cuts down on frizziness too which is an extra added benefit I was pleasantly surprised with. My hair is damaged and it is visibly healthier as it has started to heal and repair it. I've used it 5 days in a row and would continue to buy it.

My hair is damaged and it is visibly healthier as it has started to heal and repair it. I've used it 5 days in a row and would continue to buy it. Now for the reason I almost went with a 4 instead of 5. The directions say to leave the conditioner on for 5 minutes. I usually condition my hair last and it's on 1-2 minutes max. When I did this, my hair was very hard to comb through. Thankfully I've used Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray for a few years and quickly sprayed that on my hair which let me easily comb through. Had I not had the spray, it would have been difficult since my hair is long and naturally tangled after a shower. The second time I used it I actually applied it in the beginning of my shower and let sit. When I did that, I didn't have a problem combing through my hair. I also love that this is sulfate free.

Decent toning conditioner

I received this product complimentary from Pureology and Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I recently highlighted and toned my naturally dark blonde hair and got the opportunity to try out this Pureology Strength Cure Blonde Conditioner. This conditioner is meant to tone brassy color out of blonde or highlighted hair, and also add smoothness and shine for healthier hair overall. It is deeply pigmented purple and the instructions say to apply after shampooing, wait 5 minutes and rinse. After using this conditioner a few times I noticed my hair is smooth and soft and it is a great conditioner overall. One thing I will mention is if you have never used a purple shampoo or conditioner, it can stain your fingernails or towels so be careful even after rinsing. ... MoreI received this product complimentary from Pureology and Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

One thing I will mention is if you have never used a purple shampoo or conditioner, it can stain your fingernails or towels so be careful even after rinsing. I noticed that after using this conditioner my hair seems to be in pretty good shape, but I wouldn't say it is a deep conditioner or anything. It is smoother and shinier and this conditioner definitely tones like it should but I only like to use it once a week because I don't feel like it moisturizes as much as I like. Another thing I didn't love was the smell. I don't like a lot of fragrance in products and this had a weird scent anyways. Overall I think this product does it's job and tones brassy hair and nourishes, and I'd recommend it for blondes looking for toning options.

Great for highlights too

I received this product complimentary from Influensterin exchange for my honest review. I was so excited to receive this in the mail because I am already a fan of Pureology and use the hydrate sheer shampoo and conditioner everytime I wash my hair. However, since my hair is not totally blonde I wasn't entirely sure this product was even meant for me and as such probably would never have bought it. My hair more of a medium brown base with a golden and blonde balayage throughout. This product really could not have come in the mail at a better time bc I had a hair appointment the following day to touch up my color. So I figured what the heck, if it messes up my color I'm seeing my stylist tomorrow so let's try it out. With all that being said, I am so happy to have ... MoreI received this product complimentary from Influensterin exchange for my honest review.

The blonde highlights in my hair always tend to fade to a more brassy orangish color from the minerals in my water between my hair appointments. I washed with the shampoo and then left the conditioner on for 5 minutes like the bottle said. This product removed the brassiness and left the blonde with a cooler color just as if I had a toner done at the salon. It was also so shiny and soft. I talked to my stylist about it yesterday and she said that this type of product is great for highlights too. She also recommended only using once or twice a month as a treatment. I would highly recommend this for anyone that has blonde in their hair. I will continue to use it twice a month to keep my blonde highlights fresh.

Hard to use properly with no instructions...

Disclaimer: I received this product for free / complimentary in exchange for my honest review.OK, so they aren’t kidding when they say this is a purple shampoo/conditioner. It is PURPLE, lol (especially the conditioner, which is extremely highly pigmented). And from the warnings on the back of the bottles, this product means business.I found it interesting that it has detailed instructions on each bottle on how to do a skin patch test to check for an allergic reaction, but there is zero instruction on how to actually use the product on your hair. So without any instruction, I did the best I could, which may have affected the results (or lack thereof).I wore rubber gloves for the application and I used both the shampoo and conditioner on about a two-inch-wide ... MoreDisclaimer: I received this product for free / complimentary in exchange for my honest review.OK, so they aren’t kidding when they say this is a purple shampoo/conditioner.

So without any instruction, I did the best I could, which may have affected the results (or lack thereof).I wore rubber gloves for the application and I used both the shampoo and conditioner on about a two-inch-wide swatch of my hair near the front of my head. My hair has been very color-treated/bleached/kind of fried recently, so I thought it would take the color well. I shampooed and rinsed out the shampoo pretty quickly, but I left the conditioner on for about five minutes before rinsing it off.I was unable to tell that it had done anything to my hair color-wise, unfortunately. I’m thinking I probably would have had better results 1) if I had left it on for longer and 2) upon repeated uses. Also I think this product is intended for true light (cool-toned) blondes. My hair is currently more of an orange/ginger/rose gold color (which is one reason I didn’t want to use this product on my entire head, because I didn’t want to mess up my current hair color too much—the other reason being I’m scared to use the product on my scalp after seeing all the warnings on the back of the bottles!).So would I recommend this product to a friend? If I knew a blonde who is willing to drop 60 bucks on a shampoo/conditioner combo to use for toning down their brassiness, sure. I’ve always had a good experience with Pureology products and a little does go a long way. Would I buy this product for myself? Probably not.

Holy grail for dirty blondes

I have partial highlights with some brown and my hair gets extremely brassy. This is a really strong toner and works amazingly for me. Like others have said, its more purple-blue than purple, so might be too blue for bright blondes. A little goes a long way and it makes your hair soooo soft, especially if you have bleach damage. I wish it was cheaper, but its worth it for me. Best one ive ever tried by far. I leave it on for a few minutes.

Left hair soft and shiny, no color change

I received this item for free from Pureology and Influenster in exchange for my honest review.I’m not sure that I can fairly rate this product, as I have natural hair. I have not dyed it for a couple decades at least. My hair is strawberry blonde, and I thought that perhaps using this conditioner would bring out the blonde and maybe make the red a little less brassy, but I did not notice a change in color after using it. To be fair though, I really don’t think I had enough time to use the product before the due date of my review, because I also had another brand of conditioner to review in the same time frame, and I don’t shampoo/condition my hair every time I shower. Perhaps if I used it more often and for a longer amount of time it would be noticeable?I did ... MoreI received this item for free from Pureology and Influenster in exchange for my honest review.I’m not sure that I can fairly rate this product, as I have natural hair.

Perhaps if I used it more often and for a longer amount of time it would be noticeable?I did notice after using this conditioner that my hair felt healthier and was more manageable when styling. It was shinier than normal and less frizzy. So that was a plus.I also liked the scent of this conditioner. It is very lightly scented, not overwhelming like some scented conditioners can be, and that’s saying something, because I’m extremely sensitive to fragrance. It also smells better than other purple conditioners I’ve smelled (my daughter has used purple conditioner before).My teen daughter does have home bleached hair, so she has been using this product. It definitely took out a lot of the brassy tones in her hair, some of her hair ended up looking extremely platinum. So based on this, I would say it works well on color treated hair. But I’m not so sure it will do anything to natural hair based on my experience with it.I say this with all my reviews, and I’m not going to stop now: I would love to see all beauty companies come up with more environmentally conscious ways to package their products. Plastic is so not cool. I’ve been seeing a lot of companies putting their products in metal and cardboard packages. I think it would be great if Pureology would do the same.
