John Frieda Beach Blonde

Once upon a time my hair was naturally light brown/ dark blonde before I decided to dye it a variety of shades. It has been every colour I can think of however there was a time that I preferred to natural emphasise the colour of my hair using John Frieda Beach Blonde Lemon Lights hair product. ***Packaging*** The John Frieda Beach Blonde Lemon Lights product is described on the packaging as "fresh squeezed highlighter" which "naturally lightens hair in sunlight creating subtle highlights". The product comes in a clear plastic tube with a bright yellow flash of colour at the top of the tube. The clear tube shows ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever bought a product 'on spec', used it, and had a sudden dawning realisation that it's so good that you are probably going to use it regularly for the rest of your life? Having tried John Frieda Beach Blonde Sun Streaks, I can now understand exactly how Victor Kiam felt when he said his oft quoted line "I was so impressed I bought the company!" Let me tell you about my hair. If you were being exceptionally kind to me, you might probably describe it as "fair" or "dark blonde". If you were telling the truth, then "mousy" might be the word used. However, at the first touch of the sun in the summer, it ...  Read the complete review

The idea behind Beach Blonde Lemon Lights is that, instead of trying to lighten your hair on the cheap with lemon juice, you can buy a pretty expensive tube of hair gel containing lemon juice that will do the job instead. I’m now about half-way through my tube of the stuff, and I thought I’d report in on what I think… So, first of all, does it work? Has it made my hair any lighter? Well, maybe. In a certain light, if you’re squinting. You get the idea. In all fairness though, it does say it creates subtle effects, and I haven’t exactly been following the instructions. You’re supposed to slather it on and go and sit in the ...  Read the complete review

There are two products in the beach blonde range - Sun Streaks and Lemon Lights. The first is for dramatic results so I tried Lemon Lights - the subtler one of the two (to be on the safe side). Lemon Lights is a semi transparent yellow gel, packaged in a sexy clear, wide tube. It contains real lemons and claims to accelerate the highlighting effects of the sun. Lemons have been known for this sun lightening for some time - so I presumed this gel would produce even better results without that nasty crunchy wet look. Sadly not. Unsurprisingly the gel smelt of lemons, if slightly sweeter which was nice. I decided to apply it in sections to give ...  Read the complete review

When I was little, my hair was a wonderful platinum blonde, but then I started to notice that it was getting darker and darker, duller and duller. Even though I had never died or highlighted my hair, the roots were quite dark and all of my hair was a boring shade of blonde. I saw the movie "Blue Crush" and absolutely loved it. I then noticed the bright, brilliant blonde hair that one of the actresses had. I wanted my hair to be like that. I wanted that "sun-kissed" blonde! But how on earth would I get the same sunny bright blonde hair as someone who was in Hawaii for a long time spending hours out in the sun? I went to the Blue Crush ...  Read the complete review
