Review of REF Reference of Sweden Illuminate Colour Shampoo
“I’m a big fan of Ref. I tried this shampoo in the past and really liked it. So when my current brand was empty, I went for Ref again. And I’m glad I did! It’s one of few sulfate-free brands that doesn’t dry out my hair. The smell is great and the price is good too. It’s a good option if you’re looking for a sulfate-free shampoo with some natural ingredients in it.” – Faith Griffiths
“I just wanted to say thank you for sending the shampoo out so quickly and to let you know how very much I like it! I have had my hair coloured for years, and I’ve tried many shampoos, but this is the first one that I have found that doesn’t dry out my hair or make it feel brittle. My hair now feels soft and smooth and shiny! The other thing I really like about it is that it’s not at all heavy or greasy. Thank you again.” – Shannon Bird
“The shampoo is amazing! I have been colouring my hair for 6 years now. It has been all over the spectrum of red, black and blonde. My strands were always dull, dry and brittle. I tried everything from Aveda to cheap grocery store brands. Nothing worked. Then I bought Illuminate and my hair hasn’t looked this good in years. It is shiny, soft and looks like healthy hair should after a visit to the salon!” – Alexandra Carr
According to a study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Science, sulfate-free shampoos are less likely to strip hair of its natural oils, which can help maintain moisture and reduce frizz (Smith et al., 2018). Another study in the International Journal of Trichology found that botanical extracts in hair care products can significantly improve hair strength and shine (Patel et al., 2020).
