John Frieda - Frizz Ease - Wunder Reparatur- Shampoo

This is from the April Glossybox!

It lathers well, cleans well, and has a faint apple scent.

It doesn't leave your hair 'frizzy', but it doesn't leave the hair any smoother than any other decent shampoo.

It is a good shampoo, but you can get the same level of 'frizz-control' from cheaper products.

Price: 1/5 ($18.67 for 250mL)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 3/5

John Frieda - Go Blonder - In Shower Lightening Treatment

Ok, so being the ham that I am, I didn't take before and after photos...
But I did notice a shade difference before and after!
A noticeable shade lighter.

It was easy to use, smelled like hair bleach, but didn't feel rough on my hair/scalp.

As a once off treatment before an event, this is a good option.
(And at the price it is, you wouldn't want to do it too often)

Price: 1/5 ($14.99 for 34mL, one round)
Scent: 1/5 (don't sniff)
Effectiveness: 3/5

John Frieda - Colour Refreshing Gloss for Warm Reds

I recently dyed my hair to red (as you may have seen). 

How I imagine I look

How others see me

And to keep it looking fierce, I thought I would give this a try. 
First thing I noticed is that it smells like raspberries!
So you put the red goop on your hair and leave it there for "at least 3 minutes".
You then spend those three minutes trying to wash the red stains off your hands and wondering why you didn't wear gloves.

'And yet I would shudder to wear a heart so white'... It's Lady MacBeth, you butts!

Once you wash it out, you do get a little colour boost, but not enough to warrant using this again.

Price: 2/5 (rrp $16.99 for 177mL, or 4 washes on my shoulder length hair)
Scent: 5/5 (great for a hair colour product)
Effectiveness: 1/5

John Frieda - Sheer Blonde - Highlight Activating Moisturising Shampoo

And after another break, the "shampoo blog" is back! ;)

John Frieda shampoo is usually pretty nice. This one smells nice, floral and light in scent.

The lather is nice too.

My only issue with this product is I didn't really feel it helped with my hair colour.

It does specify that it is non-colour depositing (not that adding colour would be really helpful to improve a blonde colour), it didn't really make my blonde more vibrant/brighter.

It seems to work by 'removing build up'... any good shampoo can do that!

'This shampoo, but if it did anything for the colour" Solution:

Stick to the classics

Price: 2/5 ($15.99 for 250mL)

Scent: 4/5

Effectiveness: 2.5/5

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Shampoo

This is a lightening shampoo that I have used on an off for the past three years or so.
It doesn't upset my scalp, which is nice and is of good shampoo texture (not too thick, definitely not too thin) and lather (nothing annoys me more than a shampoo without lather).

The yellow liquid has a lovely lemon-soap scent and one tube lasts quite a while, even on my long locks.

The down side is the price, which is why I always get it on special (rrp $18)

As far as lightening goes, it is very gradual and if you wanted a faster, gentle lightening, I'd recommend the old lemon juice trick. 
Do not bother with this shampoo unless you are already a dark blonde or lighter, or you will be waiting a loooooooooooooong time.

Even though it is slow, it is a fun little addition to shower time and good things come to those who wait.

Price: 2/5
Odour: 4/5
