What I Say:
I have brown hair, but for years I have had it coloured with
blonde, red and caramel shaded tiny highlights throughout, and while that does
give my otherwise dull brown hair a little more dimension, I was still excited
to be trialling the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Colour Protecting
Moisturising Shampoo & Conditioner.
The Brilliant Brunette Colour Protecting Moisturising Shampoo
& Conditioner is for all types of brunette hair, both natural and colour
treated. And I have to be honest and admit that I feared that it would actually
colour my hair, or at least the blonde highlights of my hair, but of course I
didn’t need to fear, as the products merely bring out the colour and shine in
the hair.
The Brilliant Brunette Colour Protecting Moisturising
Shampoo has a thick and creamy, and it lathers up quickly and easily in my
hair. Rinsing the shampoo out is fairly easy, and already as you then you can
feel the moisturising properties of the shampoo, though I still feel the need
to use a conditioner in my long thick hair.
I follow with the conditioner, which is also very thick and
creamy, and after leaving it in for a few minutes while I finish the rest of my
shower routine, I rinse it out. And it does take a bit to rinse it out, as it
feels like there is a bit of residue left in the hair – but once out of the
shower, and I have towel dried my hair, it seems to be fine.
When I start to comb my hair, this is relatively easy,
although I do have a few knots to struggle through – but in saying that, I am
very overdue for a haircut (it is just so difficult to get it done when you
have a baby!), which may explain that – but still I feel that the
conditioner could be a little more moisturising.
I usually leave my hair to dry naturally, and once dry, I do
notice that my hair has a nice shine to it, and it looks really healthy. My
hair feels soft and smooth, and my ends (again due for a good trim), feel
relatively moisturised and soft, but I do notice that I have a little frizz,
but nothing more than the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum can’t fix (stay
tuned for my review shortly!)
In regards to protecting your hair colour from fading, this
is really tricky to tell, as I guess in the end of the day, your hair colour is
going to fade eventually, and gradually too, so you don’t really notice that
gradual change in the colour. But in the period I used the Brilliant Brunette
Colour Protecting Moisturising Shampoo & Conditioner I did not notice that the
colour of my hair fade dramatically. On the contrary, as well as adding an
incredible shine to my hair, I did feel that the depth of the colour of my hair
was improved.
Both the shampoo and the conditioner come in up-side-down
tubes with flip lids that make them very easy to use, and they both have a
lovely gentle floral scent, which unfortunately more or less disappears once
your hair is dry.
What I Like:
- Leaves the hair with a nice shine that makes it look very healthy
- Improves the colour of the hair, making it appear ‘richer’
- Lovely gentle floral scent
- Leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth
- That it is specifically formulated for brown hair (with versions for blonde and red hair also available)
What I Don’t Like:
- Could be a little more moisturising
- It would be nice if the lovely scent stayed in the hair once it is dry
Overall, this shampoo and conditioner works rally well at
bringing out the brown tones in your hair, and along with giving your hair
extra shine, it makes your hair look very healthy. At $15.99 each the products
are on the expensive side for a ‘supermarket’ brand, but on the other hand, if
you have brown hair that is a little dull and lacklustre, then I highly
recommend that you try it, as you may just be able to stretch that next hair
colouring session at the hair dresser, and then it is money well spend!
