John Frieda's Sheer Blonde

Hi there! Yes, I have not only heard of this new Frieda line, but because I recently had some golden highlights put in my light brown hair, I decided to take a good look at it. First off, let me say that I am a BIG reader of labels and the first thing that I look for is the type of cleansing ingredient is used. The Sheer blonde shampoo uses TEA-lauryl sulfate as its main cleansing ingredient. I can't even believe that Frieda would use such a harsh detergent in a line that is supposedly meant for chemically treated blonde hair. However, even if your is blonde naturally, NOBODY needs such a stripping cleanser. So, I decided not to try the Shampoo or conditioner. I did however buy the Blonde Ambition (violet colored mousse) and the Spun Gold taming balm. The mousse is nice (the scent isn't all that great), and it provides a very light hold... no stiff feeling. The violet coloring is supposed to neutralize any brassiness in blonde hair, however, I haven't noticed any difference. The Spun Gold is my absolute favorite product from all of John Frieda's lines. It gives a bit of a shimmer with the light hold of a taming balm. I use it to define my individual curls. It feels a bit sticky at first, but it doesn't dry that way (as long as you go light). I also bought a little packet of the Golden Opportunity-- which is another violet toned styling aid... because I was not overwhelmed with the results of the mousse, I have not used this product yet. I'm not sure that I would reccomend anything but the Spun Gold. I hope this helps! Good Luck and choose wisely.
