Hellooo :)
I have had the opportunity to try out the new Frizz Ease smooth start collection from John Frieda.
They are all safe for colour treated hair.
The collection includes 4 things:
1 - Smooth start shampoo 250ml
2 - Smooth start conditioner 250ml
3 - Original 6 effects serum 50ml
4 - Secret Agent touch up creme 100ml
1 - Shampoo
"Starts blocking frizz in the shower" Hydrates and restores manageability for shiny hair.
It contains a special frizz-mending complex and olive oil for smooth hair.
TO USE - Wet hair, use a 50p size (depending on length and thickness) lather and rinse out. No need to repeat.
There is a strange smell though, a bit like hair dye mixed with a fruity smell, its not a strong smell and only lasts until you wash out the shampoo.
GOOD - Lathers up very easily, almost instantly.
GOOD - Doesn't take hours to rinse out either.
= Overall a good product.
2 - Conditioner
"Starts blocking frizz in the shower" Hydrates and repels frizz for a smooth shiny style.
TO USE - After shampoo, use a 50p size (depending on length and thickness) smooth conditioner through the lengths and ends of wet hair and rinse thoroughly. No need to leave for minutes.
*More pleasant fruity smell than the shampoo.
GOOD - You can feel the difference in smoothness straight away.
GOOD - Easy to rinse out, no greasy residue.
= Overall a great product
3 - Serum
"Award winning formula instantly eliminates frizz and repels humidity for glossy, silky smooth hair" (Also includes a heat protectant)
The 6 effects are:
- Eliminates frizz
- Protects from humidity
- Protects from heat
- Smoothes
- Hydrates
- Tames
TO USE - Apply to soaking wet hair, straight from the shower. Use sparingly. (The bottle says 1 pump but I used 3 as my hair is both thick and long) Pump into palm and rub together to form a film. Distribute evenly through the hair avoiding the roots.
GOOD - Easy to work between the hands.
GOOD - Easy to use pump dispenser
GOOD - Increases shine and smoothes those fly away hairs.
GOOD - Takes out a step of my hair routine as this is also a heat protectant.
BAD - Pointless packaging? A vile suspended in a clear plastic tube with no bottom?
BAD/ PERSONAL VIEW - I don't believe that having soaking wet hair helps this product achieve what its supposed to. I will start towel drying my hair as i think this way my hair will retain more product.
= Good product, re think needed on the packaging?
4 - Secret Agent touch up creme -
"Instantly smoothes hair and camouflages frizzy ends for a flawless, shiny finish. Seals hair and eliminates frizz and flyaways"
Includes - Avacado oil and UV Filter
TO USE - Apply to dry hair. Rub a small amount between palms and pull through hair, concentrating on ends. Reapply as needed. I used about a 10p size and found this was too much, so around a 20p size would be great :)
GOOD - Fruity smell is very nice
GOOD - Consistency is good and easy to work with.
GOOD - The size isn't too big so can fit into my handbag.
= Overall, Great product
Overall good points:
- Clear labelling, eg. Shampoo/Conditioner on the back of bottles
- Easy to use tubes, can squueze/roll up the tubes when nearly at the bottom. No need to leave them upside down.
- Colour coordinated regimes eg. Smooth start = purple, Dream curls = Blue.
- Overall nice smell.
- Flip up lids so no losing the top.
The products I have tried have all been brilliant for me.
