John Frieda Review!

As much as the title says 'review' its not really a review... just me telling you about how I use the shampoo & conditioner, and hopefully getting some advice from fellow John Frieda users.
I have recently died my hair red so obviously I need to maintain it! Originally I wanted my hair much brighter than how it actually turned out but my hair just didn't strip enough so the red didn't take properly (very long & boring story so I'm not going to go into detail)! Anyways I went back to the hairdressers last Saturday & had a red toner put on my hair to see if that would brighten it up a bit... it did until I washed it and it seemed to just fade out!
I just wanted to write this to find if there was anyone else out there that has the same problem as me? Since I've had my hair died I have been using the John Frieda Radiant Red Enhancing Shampoo & Conditioner (above). I'm not sure whether you're meant to use it all the time but I roughly wash my hair every 3 days so I guess its not really that much? I shampoo it twice and leave the conditioner on for a few minutes, I cant really say I can see much "enhancing" going on but I have had a couple of people say my hair is starting to look a little more redder.

Going completely off subject but I love this product! Its basically the Lee Stafford version of Moroccan Oil which helps to keep hair silky & oily. Obviously with stripping my hair and then having it died red it could've been prone to really dry out. My hairdresser recommended I use the Moroccan Oil but my mum ended up buying me this instead and its amazing. You can see its quite small but this was £12 (eek) but it really works. It doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy, which you think it would because its oil based, it leaves it shiny and feeling extremely soft. The only problem I have is that when I do use it I tend to get a bit of static after I've dried & styled my hair but nothing some hairspray can't fix!
 
Is there anyone out there that uses anything different to maintain their red hair? I would love to know because at the moment I'm just relying on good old John! Thanks for reading :)

  1. I've heard some really bad reviews on the john freida products, so I've stayed away from them, I'm glad you're having a better experience though! Apparently the charles worthington collection for dyed hair is really good, you should check it out :)
