Review: John Frieda Luxurious Volume Shampoo, Conditioner and Blow Dry Lotion

I am a big advocate of John Frieda. The Frizz Ease range is basically my life. There was a time when I owned every product in the curly range. Yep. So when I was contacted to review the latest John Frieda Luxurious Volume range, I was pretty excited.

I'm sure you've all seen the adverts announcing that you can finally love your fine hair, complete with gorgeous Scarlett Johansson-style curly bob. The products promise "touchably full" hair, which sounds pretty good to me. I was once told by a hairdresser that I have a lot of fine hair. The hairs fly away, which gives my hair its signature frizzy bulk. Not exactly the look I go for. Cue photo of fluffy hair:

The shampoo immediately gave me a surprise because it was transparent. I'm not sure why this pleased me so much but it did. I'm such a child! It has a lovely fruity scent- A mix of apple and watermelon. As I applied it, I was struck by how well it lathers. A little really does go a long way with this shampoo. It rinsed out really well, and left my hair feeling particularly clean.

I followed up with the conditioner, which has a rich, creamy consistency. It feels especially smooth and moisturising as I applied it. When rinsing out, I was aware of how soft and smooth my hair felt. 

I was also sent a sample of the Blow Dry Lotion. I have to admit, I don't actually own a hairdryer, since I've found they tend to exacerbate frizz, but I sprayed a little just to give you an indication of the initial application. It has a pretty strong chemical smell, but it has a fine spray and applies evenly across the hair. 

As my hair was drying, I noticed that it was a lot less frizzy than usual. Always a good start! As you can see from the before photo below, the frizzy bulk has disappeared and has been replaced with bouncy curls. I'm pretty impressed!
