Second time of trying these colours, 2 Mar. 2014

My first time of using the John Frieda Precision Foam Colour was in January, when I managed to completely cover up 2" of natural dark blonde hair, the rest of my hair that had a horribe faded red in it, plus my own DIY highlights....quite a feat! It did it, no problem!

As I said, I have very dark blonde, fine hair. The Dark Cool Pearl Blonde 7PBN

covered everything, and was about half a shade lighter than my natural hair, so the roots did start to show. The colour was ok, but I really wanted something different from 'mousy', which that colour is.

6.5 weeks after using the 7PBN, and I decided to try this one. It's 2.5 weeks later now, and I really am not keen on the colour. It is very orangy looking, which I kind of guessed it might be, as to my eye, the...

Simply Perfect !, 4 Aug. 2013

Having been caught out on 'colour shade' and/or ease of use so many times before when using other home colouring products, I naturally felt this product would not be as advertised - "easy to use, non-drip, great colour with salon results" - how wrong I was!

I strongly recommend carrying out the simple allergy test to ensure all is okay before proceeding, its there for our safety and you never know. The instructions are well laid out and easy to follow, gloves are way superior to the usual 'flimsy' ones provided that squidge about, in my opinion they are as good as any hair colourist wears in a salon, so these actually stay IN place on your hands and reach over your wrists - BIG smile! The mixing is slightly different but really easy to do, DO NOT shake the mixture but TILT five times, then just squeeze the centre of the bottle to place foam on a gloved hand.....and apply. There really is no dripping or running while applying it or during the waiting time - say goodbye to...

Just what I needed and so easy!, 2 July 2013

My natural hair colour is very dark blonde, going darker as I get older (I'm 43). I had some bleached highlights done in April which I hated, so decided to try and 'equalise' the colour with a home kit. I chose this product as I was a first timer, it seemed easy to use and as I have M.E. I can't spend ages on my feet messing about. I found it very easy to use, a firm foam which didn't spray or drip anywhere. I used the whole box as my hair is below shoulder length. The smell wasn't too horrendous, my eyes didn't water and my scalp wasn't irritated any further than it already is (itchy scalp). The included conditioner is very effective. The colour worked very well and hair just looks highlighted now. Overall it's no lighter or darker than I expected, but has more orangey tones than I would have liked. I'm going to try the ash blonde next time. Three weeks on, my hair is quite dry, but I did expect this, and am conditioning deeply and avoiding heat appliances where I can.

I would...
