THIS WILL STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT ...
Review with images
03/02/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Enhances brunette hair tones. Gives a sleek controlled look.
Disadvantages You may need to 'touch up' before the day is through.

I recently had my hair styled, subsequently; it has become imperative and a bit of an obsession that I straighten and style and generally pansy about with my hair before I vacate the house. Straightening does half the job; I find I need 'products' to keep it looking styled throughout the day. Therefore shortly after my haircut, I went on a search for products. 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 ... more

Brilliant Brunette! 15/07/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Good products
Disadvantages Hairspray makes me sneeze

I received this gift set for Christmas and I am still using it. I haven’t used the shampoo and conditioner much as my hair was highlighted pink at the time when I got this set so I was using a shampoo and conditioner more suited to this. I have tried everything in this set now though so I thought I would share my opinion with you. “Every John Frieda product is more than just a premium haircare brand. It’s an experience. The experience of exciting, glamorous, sexy hair” John Frieda is a professional haircare brand, which is available to buy in shops such as boots. I first discovered John Frieda ... more

 JF, you're a miracle worker! 17/07/2005

User recommends the product

Advantages Some of the ingredients
Disadvantages -

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. So this is what I went for - in Chocolate to Espresso (for darker shades of brunette). If you're a lighter shade of brunette, be it natural, colour-treated or highlighted, then you'll want Hazelnut to Chestnut. -- Beware: If you buy the conditioner, then check carefully that you have bought the right shade ... more

Best One I've Used 21/06/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages leaves hair soft
Disadvantages cost

I've got to confess, I never had any intensions of buying this as it's a bit pricey, but when I was given some for Christmas, I had no choice but to give it a go This comes in two varieties, one for lighter shades of brown - chestnut to hazelnut - and one for darker - chocolate to espresso. I use the lighter one and so will be reviewing that one General It's got a very smooth appearance, and whilst the fragrance is nice, I can't quite put my finger on what it smells like. I find you only need a small amount as it lathers up very easily, providing you've made your hair wet enough to begin with ... more

John Frieda - For a Little Bit of Luxury In Your Life! 24/05/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Hair smells fantastic and hair feels soft .
Disadvantages I suppose there are a lot of chemicals listed in this - but this is the same for most conditioners

JOHN FRIEDA CONDITIONER John Frieda Conditioner I thought that I would review this conditioner as I recently ran out of it and so had to use a general one that was knocking about in the bathroom. It is only then that I realised how good this conditioner is and how much I missed it. What it is like and overall opinion.- The conditioner is a creamy colour and is quite thick in consistency, so you only need a circle of about 2 to 3 cm diameter. The bottle states that it is paricularly good for colour treated or highlighted hair brunette hair. I don't know if buying shampoo and conditioner by hair ... more

Chocolate to Expresso mmm 14/07/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Gorgeous Smell, Nice Consistency, Packaging
Disadvantages Expensive shampoo

This shampoo is by John Freida who is the same guy who "invented" frizz ease, the line of products which calms frizzy hair. Never having used the frizz ease products myself i cant comment on thier success. However the brilliant brunette line of shampoo and conditioners by john freida are pretty damn good. They are available for both blondes and brunettes and for different tones. I used Chocolate to Expresso as my hair is dark brown. There are also shampoos for lighter brown hair. The shampoo promises to increase the shine of your hair, leaving it smooth. It promises to increase and enhance ... more

Brunette Brilliance? 19/05/2006

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages makes your hair shiny, looks good in the bathroom
Disadvantages expensive

I bought this shampoo, along with the conditioner, as it was on special offer in Boots. Normally prices at £4.49, it was on offer for £2.79. I thought it was owrth a go, and I had some spare advantage points to use up. The other reason I bought it wasn't because it looks good in bathroom (although it does ;)), but because my bleached blond brother uses the version for blond hair and swears by it. The Packaging ~~~~~~~~~~~ The shampoo comes is a dark brown 250ml tube which stands on the cap (slightly opaque plastic). In all it is probably about 20cm or so tall. At the top are the words "John ... more

I see your true colours, that’s why I love you! 09/08/2004

User recommends the product

Advantages Leaves hair smooth and glossy
Disadvantages The claims on the bottle may be a bit optimistic!

A little bit of background The Brilliant brunette range has recently been added to the John Frieda range of hair care products. You’ll have seen the adverts on TV and the glossy pictures in the magazines promoting this range. The images chosen are stunning, illustrating the beauty of rich shades of brunette hair, however these guys are clever too as they manage to somehow maintain a degree of attainability too, leaving the consumer with the impression that ‘I too could have hair this life changingly glamorous’! After the success of the specialised range for blondes, called Sheer Blonde, it is ... more

Brunette Brilliance .. the return 19/05/2006

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages smells lovely, makes your hair shine
Disadvantages expensive

I bought this conditioner along with the shampoo, as it was on special offer in Boots. Normally prices at £4.49, it was on offer for £2.79. I thought it was worth a go, and I had some spare advantage points to use up. The other reason I bought it wasn't because it looks good in bathroom (although it does ;)), but because my bleached blond brother uses the version for blond hair and swears by it. I have also just done a review on the shampoo, so thought I better follow it up with the conditioner, as I actually use both products together, so the results I get are due to both products! The ... more

It Doesn't Do what It Says On The Tube. 17/11/2005

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Attractive packaging
Disadvantages It's not very good.

Picture the scene. You are a poor, miserable housewife. You stand in the dock, accused of a heinous crime. The Judge addresses your legal representative. "It is alleged that your client, whilst going about her rightful task of doing the weekly shop in a Tesco supermarket, purchased not one, but two tubes of a John Frieda hair product." He glances down at his papers for a moment. "These items are described as brilliant brunette Shine Release Moisturising Shampoo and brilliant brunette Light Reflection Conditioner. What has she to say for herself?" Your barrister rises and directs his remarks to ... more
