John Frieda Full Repair Hair Care

Morning!

It is Monday, but if you've had a heavy weekend, maybe this post is just what you or your hair, to be precise, needs! Some rehab, of sorts.

Quick history of my hair, it is a medium brown colour naturally, until I went to get a full head of highlights, at the beginning of Summer.

But the trouble was, it just wasn't blonde enough for me. I really wanted to have a drastic change to my hair for once (twenty+ years of long brown hair was enough!) and so after a trip to Boots and two packs of the Jerome Russell B Blonde hair bleach heavier, I sucked it up and bleached my hair at home. 

Separate post on how I did this, anyone?

The main problem after this though, was the condition of my hair, mainly the ends, as you can see above. They were very straw-like and fluffy, and generally what you would expect from having bleached the life out of it... Oh and using straighteners and curlers too. Eep. Sorry hair. 

I am due for a trim in a week or two, which will obviously help over all, but prevention is better than cure, as they say!

Then along came the new John Frieda Full Repair Hair Care range, and at 3 for 2 on offer, I bought the Protecting Root Lift Foam, the Heat Styling Spray and the Perfect Ends Deep Infusion.

Protecting Root Lift Foam - well at first I was dubious about this, as it didn't come out as a foam, more like a runny, frothy mess in my hand. Yummy. However, it really did do the job, I worked it into my hair after a shower and I definitely noticed a more volume (my hair is pretty flat usually anyway). The texture of my hair seemed thicker but I didn't have that unpleasant residue in it that some mousses or foams leave. Great for nights out where I want big hair, or when my hair needs a boost! (picture at the end of the post shows this)

Heat Styling Spray - I spritz this in generously (maybe a little to generously!) and it has become my new favourite heat defence spray. It leaves my hair so much smoother and in turn makes straightening my hair a lot easier too, there's nothing worse than hearing that scraping, hair-breaking sound when you're running your GHDs through your hair, and knowing it's protecting my ends from all that heat makes me happy. No crispiness either, the majority of heat sprays I've used have made my hair feel weighed down or extremely dry. Not this one!

Perfect Ends Deep Infusion - A little goes a long way with this, after deep conditioning, I smooth this serum into my ends and this really has been my saviour to get my hair back to it's best. I am in love! All the hair that looked split or fluffy now looks smoothed down, nourished and healthy. Amazing results for a drugstore/highstreet product.

Taa Daaa! I am going to try the shampoo and conditioner next, just because I'm so impressed by the range so far, affordable but gives great results, which surely everyone loves. Good job John Frieda!

Have you tried the new range yet? What do you use to rejuvenate your hair?
