REVIEW!! - JOHN FRIEDA, FRIZZ EASE - Smooth start collection x

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:
  1. Eliminates frizz
  2. Protects from humidity
  3. Protects from heat
  4. Smoothes
  5. Hydrates
  6. 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.
