My new hair addiction!
I first read about this gloss in Shape magazine and was curious to see what it actually did. I have had my hair color treated before last year and haven't done anything to it with color or lightener since, however I wanted to try this because it said in the magazine that this would help brighten up your hair color and I was excited to give it a shot! Upon finding the John Frieda color collection...read more at Ulta I was a bit confused trying to figure out which gloss "shade" I would be; there was a box that said for warm brunettes and another box that said for cool brunettes. I know what each of these terms mean but was laughing because I never really considered whether I was a warm brunette or cool brunette. I ended up looking at the actual color selection at the colors on the boxes and choosing the cool brunettes because my actual hair color seemed closed to 2N and that correlated with cool brunettes (kind of dumb to do but I needed quick thinking and it seemed to work). I purchased this on sale for $11.99 (yay I love sales) and couldn't wait to get home and use it. I followed the directions on the box and after shampooing and conditioning my hair, squeezed out the excess water, put a quarter-sized amount in my hand and worked it in from root to ends. I obviously used a few more dollops as I have hair almost to the middle of my back and a quarter size wouldn't really do anything. I left it on for 3 minutes and rinsed it as usual. The box says to wash your hands after using it and be careful in the shower because it started getting on my white shower and I quickly used water to get it to come off. I loved the fact that after the shower I put my hair in a WHITE towel and after realizing how stupid this was, saw that it hadn't stained it at all. The fine print on the box which I LOVE says Ammonia & peroxide-free. Not a permanent hair color. Will not lift or lighten hair color. Will not damage hair. Safe for all hair types. I love this gloss- I didn't want anything that was associated with color because I want to let my natural hair and color get hydrated, brightened, and grow out! After putting in hair oil and combing through, I applied the usual hair products I do and let it air dry and was so happy to see how much more vibrant my brunette hair looked! It looked shinier and like my virgin hair! I love the fact that this product can be used even after I haven't color treated my hair in a year. The box says it will banish in-between color so if you haven't been able to get to the salon I would try this out; you can use it weekly (yay) and it is in no way damaging to your hair. I am ADDICTED to this gloss and have loved John Frieda products since I was in high school. It's a 6 fl ounce size for under $15 and you only use it weekly so you can definitely get away with going longer before hitting the salon. I have no plans to do anything to my hair but love the fact that it benefits my hair and adds shine and brightens it!
