Review: Beautiful, Natural-Looking Blonde with Easy Application! - I recently used John Frieda Sheer Blonde Precision Foam Colour in 7G Dark Golden Blonde, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results! The foam formula makes application super easy—no drips, no mess, and it evenly covers every strand, even in hard-to-reach areas. The color turned out gorgeous, giving me a rich, golden blonde that looks natural and vibrant. It also provides 100% grey coverage, which was a huge plus for me. My hair feels soft and healthy after coloring, with a lovely shine that lasts. Unlike some other dyes, this one doesn’t have a strong chemical smell, and the included conditioner leaves hair silky and smooth. If you're looking for salon-quality color at home, this is a fantastic choice! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a natural-looking blonde with long-lasting results!
Review: My New “Go-To” Box Colour…..Absolutely Brilliant Stuff. So Much Easier than Creams - Well, I’ve got to say I’m really very impressed with this hair dye mousse. I struggled to find it on our high street in a small Dorset town, but desertcart never fails for finding things. It was a really good price at £6.66 on here too at the time. Just to set the science…I’m in my early 50’s and have box coloured my hair for many many years. I’m likely to be 85-100% grey now…..but have no idea 😂. I was born with white-blonde hair which had got darker as I got older. I’d say I’m a natural light brown more now. I have very curly 3b/3c curly that is dry, delicate and porous because i colour it. John Frieda is a bit of a hero to us Curly girls so I trusted this brand before I started, and wanted to try the mousse against my usual brand Nice N Easy. This colour mousse is without doubt the easiest and best box colour I’ve ever used. Using foam, for me, is far superior and easy to apply to very curly hair. Creams are quite thick and don’t spread through the hair that easily. The instructions are pictured through the stages and very easy to follow. The weirdest bit is that you automatically want to press the top of the pump down to obtain the foam, instead you need to squeeze the bottle to get the foam out. I’ve got very thick hair, and there’s plenty in this bottle to do all my hair at the moment (the length is level with my shoulders). Very easy to apply. However, it does say in the instructions (see photo) that the foam needs to look like the picture and foam piled on your head should be visible. This is not the case when I apply it. The foam quickly disappears and makes my hair look and feel damp, and feels wetter the more I apply. I’ve done this colour routine twice now and on both occasions I didn’t have a pile of foam on my head….saying that though it works and is amazing coverage. I wonder if that it’s because I use a lot of products on my hair and the instructions state to put on dry unwashed hair. I don’t know. It works brilliantly though. This John Freida box colour (mine is 9N), gives a very good even coverage with minimum effort and ease and looks a very natural blonde and like the colour on the box. Not brassy or an unnatural like some blonde dyes in the “Group 9” of the colour chart (9 being the lightest blonde in all makes). 9N, I’m guessing is 9 Natural, and very natural it looks too. I love it. Even 3 weeks later I can see no fading or patches of grey appearing. The colour holds well and doesn’t fade or go patchy. Applying the foam, there is quite a strong smell to it. No worse or better than other brands so I’m used to that. It also causes my eyes to water a bit when applying just by breathing. Again the same as others I’ve used. I leave the foam on for 30 mins then wash off when in the shower. When rinsing it off the slip is very good and my hair feels soft and silky which I don’t get with Nice n Easy or Garnier Nuttrise. They both feel drying at this stage on my hair. I then shampoo my hair to ensure all the dye is out, then use the conditioner they provide in the box. My hair loves conditioner, so i use the whole tube in one application and leave to work its magic for 10 mins whilst im showering, Fantastic conditioner. Hair feels lovely and soft with great slip. I didn’t need to use my own conditioner brand as well aferwards, which is what I usually need to do when using the conditioner in other colouring boxes with other brands. This conditioner is so silky and rich it does leave a very slippery residue in the shower tray so be very very careful. It’s extremely slippery under foot. Ensure you rinse the shower tray thoroughly before someone else uses the shower after you too. Absolutely brilliant dye. Very Easy & quick to apply, Holds its colour, feels soft, excellent conditioner and a very good natural colour. This is now my new “go-to” box colour for sure.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I want to take some with me abroad in my luggage , is  it allowed in my cheacked luggage please?**
A: No you can't, it contains ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. Both are explosive, you can't put this in the hold or carry on luggage. I have checked this with the airlines as l wanted to take this hair dye to Spain.

**Q: Is this product suitable for vegans (not tested on animals and containing no animal products?) From the lack of response I'm guessing not!**
A: All John Frieda products are in compliance with the EU regulations on the ban on animal testing for cosmetics products and ingredients, and our Precision Foam Colour does not contain any ingredients of animal origin.

**Q: does this dry your hair out and will it take on naturally dark brown /black roots**
A: I find this the best colour I've ever had..doesn't dry out my hair at all. Covers my brown hair which includes grey evenly.I imagine that this would take on naturally dark/black roots well.

**Q: How long does the foam need to be on**
A: Let your colour develop for 20 minutes, adding an extra 10 minutes to cover greys.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent product and results for a job I hate
*by P***D on 27 April 2021*

I really don’t enjoy doing my own hair. I find the products are always inferior to those offered in salons which is such a pity. With lockdown I had no choice but to dye my own hair. I decided to give the John Frieda foam a go and I was pleasantly surprised. It is much easier to use than the liquid dyes I’ve used in the past. Don’t get me wrong, it still feels like a chore but it’s certainly quicker and less messy. I’ve attached a before and a few after photos. The grey coverage isn’t bad, I do find the bits around the face are tricky (with all home dye kits) so on my second use of this I started with the area around my face and ears, so they would have longer with the dye. The longevity seems on par with what you crepe the from hair dye. I didn’t find the dye faded fast, my problem is my hair grows so fast the grey roots start to show through. I needed to colour my hair again at the 4 to 5 week mark, same as when I visit the salon and that is only because of the root growth, not colour fading. The instructions do imply that your head will be covered in foam but I didn’t find this. When I squeezed the bottle, I did get foam in my hand but when you apply it, it loses the foam consistency. I only mention this because what I was seeing in the mirror wasn’t what I was expecting based on the instructions. The scent was fine, I like the scent, it reminds me of a salon. Based on reviews, it’s clear some love it and some hate it. If I do have to dye my own hair again, this product will certainly be my first choice.
