...As I use the John Frieda shampoo and conditioner, I looked to see if there was anything in their range that was appropriate. There was! John Frieda's: 'brilliant brunette Simply Sleek straightening balm'.
The premise is, it takes brunette hair from meek to sleek in just minutes. It smoothes down and straightens out your hair for a super- sleek, brunette style. Illuminates multi dimensional brunette tones and delivers a multi dimensional satin shine. ... ...Boot's, and the like.
All John Frieda products can be spotted a mile off; the packaging is very classy, it uses, multi dimensional shades of brunette (or blonde or red, depending on the colour range) and white writing (see pictures).

Having chosen John Frieda's Brilliant Brunette Shine Release™ Moisturising Shampoo from the three Brilliant Brunette (BB - sorry but I'm not typing that again!) shampoos available, I had less choice over conditioner - in the BB range there is only the Light Reflecting Conditioner available.

I've put that this product is for normal hair because there is only one John Frieda BB conditioner, which is used with the Volumising, Moisturising and Balancing shampoos. The conditioner's main aim is to leave the hair in good condition with a healthy shine and I would say that it achieves this. If you have oily/greasy hair though, this shampoo will probably not make any difference. ...
