Usually I use a different product; however, this time a friend convinced me to try this "for a change". She was right. It was easy to apply and provided the results for which I was seeking. I'm happy she steered me towards trying something new.
Today after extensive research, (reading reviews, watching online how to apply), etc. I decided to purchase and use the John Frieda Precision Foam color. I am not an individual who usually buys supermarket hair colors as I have mixed and colored my own hair for so many yrs (brand name professional permanent hair color /and developer 6%/20vol).
I carefully read the instructions provided about how to mix and apply John Frieda 5R Precision Foam color. This color wa s mixed as described, applied, however, I found it did not stay on my hair as a foam cover or as indicated on the instructions etc. Instead, I noted my hair became a wet mass on stingy pieces and needed to be covered in a hair net during the developing time.
I am very disappointed with this product as I am an individual who makes informative well-read and researched decisions especially with hair colors / care.
I liked this hair colour. It comes in a really nice shade of dark brown that leaves my hair feeling shiny and smooth. I also really liked the fact that in came in a foam- much easier to use! Also, I didn't mind the smell of this one!
While I loved that this was easy to use, much easier than messy, drippy others, it did not cover my greys at all. I left it a little longer as well and within one shampoo my stubborn greys (almost white) showed up again. The rest of my hair looked fabulous, the colour is rich and it made my hair feel shiny and silky. I would recommend to those that have stubborn greys not to use a really light ash blonde as I did, but darker shades perhaps.
Now this foam hair coloring kit is by far one of my all time favorite. I love the blue black one. it smells good kinda odd right. it's easy to apply and more of a complete coverage with out someone else having to help you.
Finally a hair colour in the form of a mouse. No drips, no mess and also a nice pleasant scent. Oh did I mention no burning scalp. I was super excited with this hair coloring so far and even left the dye on my hair longer for those stubborn greys. Unfortunately, I was still left with those greys.
This hair dye comes in a range of beautiful colors (I used Light Red Brown 6R) and to date is the most hassle free, best smelling and least drippy hair dye I've ever used. I love the foam, it's so much easier to apply than every other hair dye I've used.
So why isn't this product rated 5/5? For one simple reason. It doesn't cover grey or white hairs well. So frustrating. If they could fix that one tiny thing, I'd happily pay full price for this every time.
I've used this the last two times I've coloured my hair at home, and I will NOT change back to anything else. The product is easy to handle, the gloves that come with it could use an upgrade, but that's literally my only complaint. I am thrilled with the coverage I get, including covering grey. Seriously an awesome array of colours, and no overpowering scent.
I love this hair colour but I wish it was a bit cheaper. I first tried this when I received a free sample coupon and it was fantastic. I loved this particular foam because it's very think and has very little smell. Best of all, the colour is the closest I could find that was true to the colour on the box.
I used to use this all of the time, I think the price could be a little lower but it is John Frieda, so it will usually be a bit more than some other brands.
I love that it doesn't smell extremely strong and it was very effective on my roots.
