    Default Sheer blond - John Frieda product

    Has anyone used this? I have grown out highlights, & can't get them done right now..I know this isn't a substitute, but I saw this kit, & thought I'd give it a try maybe brighten my hair up a bit

    I used to be obsessed with John Frieda's Sheer Blonde line. It took me a couple of months to realize that it wasn't doing a damn thing.

    If you want to lighten your hair without highlights, I recommend making a solution at home of two parts purified water, one part white distilled vinegar. Put it in like a spray bottle or something, and spritz it all over your hair in the shower, then rinse (don't pour it from a cup--I learned this the hard way. The vinegar WILL get in your eyes and it burns like a bitch). This removes the impurities from your hair. One use a week is more than sufficient, and there is a noticeable difference.

    The most damage done to your hair in terms of color (for blondes) isn't the product that you use--it's environmental. Mainly your water. Depending on where you live, it can be better or worse. The vinegar solution helps rectify this. If the water you have is doing serious damage, I recommend getting a purifying shower head, like this one from Jonathan Product:

    Also, healthy hair holds color the best, so focus on good shampoos and conditioners that do NOT have sulfates in them. Which John Frieda products all have. Any time you see any type of sulfate on the ingredients list, it's literally detergent. The same detergent you use when washing your clothes. It tears your hair to pieces. Silicone is also fairly bad for you in a conditioner, because it coats the hair instead of penetrating, and makes it fragile. There are all sorts of shampoos and conditioners you can get that are free of those ingredients, and how much you spend is up to you. You can spend as much as $24 each on Living Proof No Frizz shampoo and conditioner (sold at Sephora, 8 oz. each). This is a great line, and they have a lot of styling products, too. You can spend $28 on WEN from QVC, which is a Cleansing Conditioner. It takes a bit to get used to it, but it really makes your hair super soft and healthy. Or you can spend like $7 on Organix shampoo or conditioner, sold at any drug store or Wal-Mart. They have numerous different lines, and all of them smell phenomenal.

    My partner has bleach blonde hair and uses their purple shampoo weekly to clarify any yellow tones out. I wouldn't use it every day (sulfates ewwww) but it works for her on a weekly basis.

    ^ Another clarifying shampoo you can use is Bumble and Bumble Sunday shampoo. It's some pretty powerful stuff, and I don't recommend using it even once a week...more like two or three times a month. I usually use it along with a powerful conditioning masque. But it can really make a difference with product buildup and, to some extent, the problems caused by environmental damage. Though I still recommend the vinegar solution first and foremost, as it has no sulfates and isn't nearly as harsh.
