John Frieda Precision Foam Colour 6A Light Ash Brown (Brilliant Brunette) review/ swatch

It has been about 6 days since i have visited the hairstylist for any professional hair color, the final couple of occasions I have dyed my hair I have been doing the work in the hairstylist since i have only agreed to be feeling a little lazy. Nevertheless the price is getting a little absurd since good Sydney hair stylists charges a leg along with a leg for any cut and color (easily 120-180AUD based on in which you go).

I am most likely going to visit the hairstylist again soon since i have require a haircut, my hair develops really rapidly (easily 35-45cm annually), so with my couple of number of greys (most likely 3% basically must place a number onto it) and regrowth, reasonably I want an impression up a minimum of every 8 days along with a cut every 12 days.

Between now and my next hair appointment for cut, I made the decision I needed to the touch up my roots as well as the finishes as my last color was diminishing, given I spent a great 4 days within the tropics for any relaxing beach holiday (and frequent utilisation of the pool). My hair felt dry and lack lustre too.

I selected "6A Light Ash Brown" (the color code around australia, may vary in other nations). You will find other more dark searching browns, but reading through online reviews which complained the colour continued really dark, I made the decision to choose a lighter searching foam color to begin with.

(p.s. I'm not sure why John Freida helps make the top picture from the box black and whitened, that is pretty useless for any hairdye indicator photo within my books)

I believe it is really an accurate picture of the items this area color is declaring the colour tone to become.

Here's the information: instruction guide, Bottle 1, 2 and three, and two plastic mitts.

Hair color Prior to the John Frieda foam colour, it was about 6 days after my last professional hairstylist coloring. The finishes are beginning to appear a little hay like and brittle and losing lots of color.

 After using to my full mind, which required a great fifteen minutes. You can observe the froth can there be but it is not as dense as what it appears as though around the box, that is my common experience with the bubble foam hair dyes from the brand anyway. Despite rubbing in circles like instructed, this really is about as foam when i got.

 The instructions say leave for twenty to thirty minutes then rinse with tepid to warm water. (it does not really tell shampoo off). Then follow using the enclosed conditioner. In my opinion the 20-30 min instruction should exclude how long it requires to use for your hair.

I understand my hair does not take color well, so following the fifteen minutes it required to use the froth, I left it on for an additional solid 35 minutes to make sure coverage, especially because of the couple of gray roots I've.

After rinsing out, here's the wet hair look:

It washed easily just within my shower within 5-ten minutes, did not stain my tiles either. I didn't remember to use creams or vaseline to ear and temple even though there is still some transfer onto the skin, they arrived on the scene easily after swiping with a few usual face toner (anything with some alcohol content helps). I additionally adopted using the enclosed conditioner rather than my very own usual hair masques, requested 5 min then rinse.

The conditioner is decent, much better than loreal sublime mousse one out of this area anyway. Still not similar to e.g. Kerastase hair masques.

Note I didn't make use of a shampoo, in line with the box instruction. I believe shampooing immediately might take an excessive amount of color out.

 Clearly the AFTER color, looks nothing beats the colour around the box, that we expected anyway. (I wasn't pursuing the colour around the box). The appearance I had been after was just as expected, balancing the faded color formerly, cover a little of gray, and take off that orange tone which was developing for that previous faded color. I additionally wanted a awesome/ neutral brown rather than something red-colored well developed.

I am happy using the color, the conclusion and process. The froth was simple to use, did not stink too badly, washed off really easily (simpler than L'oreal Sublime mousse that was still discoloration despite 5 shampoos).

Since using this hair color the other day I have had 6 shampoos and clearly the colour has lightened much more. My hair condition can also be fine, I do not find this to become super drying out.

I am much more happy with the slight lightened look now, on top area of the hair it appears great, just like a very natural dark dark ash brown, though not a dull black inside either. As the finish of my hair looks more healthy becasue it is dim the faded finishes. It appears as though your hair colour of a number of my Eurasian buddies- where it's less than brown and less than black.

The only real gripe I've with this particular foam color may be the gray coverage. It essentially 'tints' your gray hair a little making the whitened hair look a little just like a super light brown tone, however when I look carefully inside my roots I'm able to still tell "yep this is a whitened hair immediatelyInch.  Overall It stretches my next hairstylist dye appointment by another 2-3 days that is well worth the money, but when you've apparent greys, this can not do.

Overall rating 4.5/5, would easily do this color again.

p.s. I've natural Asian black hair- so please keep in mind should you hair color began with medium brown or blonde this might look completely different you. I still think it'll not appear such as the color around the box unless of course you began with very blonde hair. This can be a shade that will easily look darker and uneven on any non-natural black hair women.
