John Frieda review - Colour renew - tone-correcting silver shampoo - platinum blonde hair

When I first started my journey towards platinum blond hair, John Frieda was the first silver shampoo, which I picked up from Boots’ shelf. I have to say that I didn’t expect too much from the silver shampoo and conditioner, but thought “at least its not going to make it more yellow!” That was the time of my first bleaches and my hair was orange.

Even if I had some major doubts about the shampoo after a week or two I was happy, the hair wasn’t that orange anymore. I kept using it and after my second bleach my hair was properly yellow and this time the shampoo worked like a miracle, just after couple of washes the hair was way more natural looking.

I felt that John Frieda conditioner didn’t tone the hair as much as the shampoo, however none of the silver conditioners I have used worked either, so I’m pretty happy using the conditioner just to make my hair more healthy looking.

+ THE BAD

Not the best smell

ARE YOU NEW TO BLEACHING YOUR HAIR? It should be remembered that after bleaching the hair is yellow and needs toning. Silver shampoo cannot change the colour of the hair – it can only help to tone the yellow shades down.
