John Frieda

I write this post totally in praise of all things John Frieda - not just Frizz-Ease.

A high street brand that's affordable, highly effective and comes in enough formats to suit every hair type.

First there's the fabulous Frizz-Ease serum of course. And even this comes in three strengths, depending on the thickness and er, frizz, of your hair. A few drops of this serum applied to soaking wet hair (it must be soaking wet or it just won't work properly) smooths and tames even the most difficult to blow dry hair. And I speak from experience here.

My hair has a mind of it's own, it does what it wants and it never ever does what I want. I've tried every sort of hair lotion, potion, serum and creme around, nothing else works. But Frizz-Ease helps smoothen it dramatically. The Frizz-Ease range contains all sorts of other goodies too, shampoos, conditioners and treatments.

Next up is the Brilliant Brunette range which I just love too. Shampoos, conditioners, glosses, hairsprays, serums, shiners, mousses, goop to tame curly hair...

And of course there's the same fab ranges for you blondes and redheads too. Sheer Blonde and Radiant Red. There are no pigments in these ranges, so detractors say that they can't enhance your natural hair colour.

Okay detractors , I'll take you on - I think they do!

What do you think - have you got a favourite range or hair behaviour tip?
