I have had various colours in my hair over the years from blonde to red, brunette to even a peacock blue colour but now the grey hairs are starting to appear I keep my hair highlighted to try and disguise them.
Over the winter I tend to add some lowlights but now summer is on its way I like it to be a bit more sunkissed, so when I was invited to try John Freida’s Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo and Conditioner I was excited to give it a try.
The shampoo and conditioner are produced to gradually lighten blonde hair for a brighter sun-kissed look using an ammonia and peroxide-free formula that reduces colour pigments.
The shampoo and conditioner claims to lighten blonde hair by up to 2 shades and has been carefully developed for all shades of natural, colour-treated or highlighted blonde hair.
The first thing that struck me was its smell. It is not unpleasant but there is certainly hint of hair colourant to it when you are using it, although it doesn’t linger on the hair afterwards.
I had been hoping it might lighten my mousey coloured roots so I didn’t need to get them highlighted so often, but it hasn’t, but I have noticed that it has lightened the blonde and has stopped it from looking brassy. In fact, it has gone a very beautiful shade of white blonde on the ends.
I have also been using Hi-Impact Vibrancy Restoring Oil Elixir which helps to revive over-processed, dull hair and visibly repairs damage and replenishes your hair to bring life to dull strands. Basically it makes my hair soft and shiny.
If you are naturally (or dyed) blonde then these products are great for giving a natural looking sun-kissed boost to your hair, but if like me and hoping it might lighten the roots to disguise re-growth, it is not strong enough.
Great review this, I’ll have to mention it to my wife as I think it would be good for her hair
Oh this looks great and its what my sister uses all the time – we all have blonde hair naturally but i dye mine black!
I love John Frieda’s products and these look like a great way of adding some va-va-voom into blonde locks!
These sound really good – I have brown hair, but after reading your review would recommend these products to a friend 🙂
It sounds like two great products but would have been even nicer if they helped sort your roots out too
I don’t have blonde hair but I have used John Freida in the past and it was great for my hair! I need to try it out again it has been a while x
I am naturally blonde (although currently red) so have never had need for them but I always wondered if shampoos like this actually worked.
I used these products before and they are great! I like to use these ones and swap to the L’Oreal ones, so my hair can benefit from both of them x
Fantastic review. I love the packaging a lot.
Good to know! I don’t have bleached or blonde hair, but I’ll recommend it to my mum.
Sounds like a great range, I wonder if they do anything for brunettes (natural!)
I have never used anything like this before as I am really dark. x
I used to use the John Frieda blonde products back when I was a teenager and they really did help my hair from looking brassy. I should start using them again!
I”ll recommend it to my mum. I wonder when they’ll have anything similar for brunettes.
