First Impressions - John Frieda Products*

Hi beauties, 

I was lucky enough to be contacted by the lovely Patti the other day asking if I would like to try out some John Frieda Products. As I never have, I jumped at the chance. 

We exchanged a couple of emails and I told her my hair type, and the fact that I am a self confessed hair dying addict. The next day, a beautiful green box turned up at my door with the following products. 

Full Repair - Full Body Shampoo and Conditioner*

The full repair is just perfect for my hair type. After 8 years and many different hair colours, my hair is always in need of some repair. 

Both the shampoo and conditioner contain Inca Inchi oil rich in omega-3. The products claim to 'repair the look and feel of overstyled hair as it weightlessly restores bounce.' They also detangle the hair, reducing the risk of breaking and snagging. 

One thing I love about these products, is that they are completely fine for use on coloured hair. I'm constantly on the look out for a shampoo and conditioner that doesn't fade my current colour, and this covers it. 

I'm not one for washing my hair every day, more so every other or every third day so I've given these a good couple of goes before writing this review. 

The shampoo lathers well and I feel you don't need a whole lot to really feel like it cleans your hair. I have quite thick hair so usually I have to use quite a bit. With the full repair shampoo, you're definitely getting your moneys worth. 

The conditioner is the same. A little goes a long way but you still feel the benefits. You can either leave it on for a couple of minutes, then rinse, or you could leave it on for five minutes or so and get more of an intensive repair.

The conditioner also washes out really well, leaving no residue in the hair.

I definitely feel my hair both looks and feels much healthier since using these products. Visible split ends have been reduced and my hair is also incredibly easy to brush through. 

Frizz-Ease Miraculous Recovery Intensive Masque*

This deep treatmean mask contains avocado oil. It visibly repairs and fortifies dry, damaged and frizzy hair to help protect against breakage. Perfect for me. 

I tested this product after a heavy night of bleaching and dying my hair to a new blonde colour. I thought it would be the perfect time to try it out, and it really didn't disappoint. Usually after bleaching, hair can be straw like and difficult to manage. But after using this hair mask my hair was soft, silky and shiny. I had no issues with getting a brush through it and it still looked incredibly healthy. 

I usually find I can't use hair masks without having residue left in my hair after rinsing. This normally means my hair feels sticky, not healthy when I am trying to dry it. 

The John Frieda one doesn't leave that problem, and just like the shampoo and conditioner, it rinses really well and leaves no residue behind. 

All products have an amazing clean scent. I prefer this to the strong fruity and floral kind that can sometimes be a little sickly. 

I can safely say that I will be repurchasing every one of these products. I have never found the perfect products for my hair type and I really wish I had picked these up a long time ago. 

If you are going to try something from John Frieda, I strongly recommend trying the hair mask at least. It will not let you down. 

John Frieda also have a great YouTube channel which gives great styling tips and tricks. You can find it here.

Have you guys tried any Joh Frieda products before? Let me know what I should try out next. I think I've found a new brand to love.
