John Frieda Frizz Ease Straightening Potion

Another one of my rash purchases! I went on the rampage with buying Frizz-Ease products and had already purchased the Frizz-Ease Straight Ahead Shampoo and Conditioner and was less than impressed with the results so I got this to continue with my quest for perfectly straight hair realising the shampoo and conditioner was only the start and a preparation to continue with the styling process. I'm not keen on the Frizz-Ease Serum and I actually own 3 bottles but again I'm not that impressed although I keep battling on with it hence why I stocked up on bottles of it! I like the sound of a spray and so popped this in my basket in Boots with a load of other ...  Read the complete review

Having lost my beloved straightening conditioner to the whims of the discontinuing gods, I've been wroking on trying to find an alternative solution to my wavy/kinky hair. I bought Frizz Ease Straightening Potion as part of a 3 for 2 deal at Boots, alongside their straightening conditioner, and I really wish I hadn't.

Although I have discovered my 'holy grail' product when it comes to a heat protection balm (Kerastase Ciment Thermique, that you smooth into damp hair after shampoo-ing), I'm still searching for a great spray in product that I can use to protect my hair each and every time I straighten it afterwards until it is washed again. So far I havn't found the perfect one but John Frieda's "Straightening Potion" is probably the closest yet. 'Smooth straight styles are just a spray away' according to the packaging of this product. It also claims to work with your hairdryer to deliver a perfect straight style with glossy shine. Salon created it contains ...  Read the complete review

Straightening sprays and "potions" are a bit of a nightmare. Strictly speaking (from someone who has relatively frizzy and wavy hair), they never do what they say on the bottle. The only way I have found to actually get anywhere near the desired results is to use a straightening cream which you apply after you have dried your hair, and just before you use your straightners. However, saying all that, I do still use this spray everytime I was my hair. Why? Because it does seem to do something to help the straightening process. I actually think that it is probably more to do with drying out hair that is prone to retaining water, rather than ...  Read the complete review
