John Frieda Wind-Down Relaxing Cream

John Friedas wind down creme advertises the fact that it is a creme for people with wavy, or curly hair, that want to make it manageable. I have wavey hair, with the frizzy bits, which I struggle with, and have struggled with all my life. I have found that both this and Frizz Ease Hair relaxing creme (which comes in the same style of pump action pot)are very good, and made my hair very manageable. I can't say that it ever made my hair greasy, though it does give it a slightly different texture. All of my friends commented on how glossy and shiny my hair is these days. I have since tried some straightening gel creme which I ...  Read the complete review

I have VERY curly hair which I have struggled with since the age of about 11. Before this age I had reasonably straight hair and even dreamed of having a perm to make it a little more wavy when I was older!! This of course is sadly ironic, since I have tried strenously with various products, styling techniques and hair cuts to get my curly mass of hair under control - if not straight!! I bought 'Wind down' because my hair naturally forms into ringlets and I wanted to achieve a more relaxed curl - tousled effect which seems to fashionable at the moment! Once I'd washed my hair, I used John Frieda hair serum (which I always do) whilst it was ...  Read the complete review

I bought this product thinking that because it was John Frieda it would be good, he is always recommended in magazines for having products that really do make hair sleeker and nicer, and I am always looking for a good product so I thought I may as well buy and try out. I had seen an advert in a magazine for this product with a girl with really sleek hair so I thought maybe this might just work, I was very wrong. I should have noticed in the advert there wasn't any before or after pictures, and also when most pictures are shown the models have naturally straight hair and have just had their hair curled for the photo shoot, I am not easily fooled it's ...  Read the complete review

I have tried many different straightening creams and lotions and have not found another that does the job as well as John Frieda Wind Down Relaxing Creme. At first I did use too much and ended up with greasy hair but through trial and error have found the perfect amount for my hair. I stopped using it for a while and started using one which had been voted No.1 by a magazine (can't remember which!!) but it certainly didn't work for me. I have found that I need to wash my hair every other day since I started using this product rather than every third day but it is well worth it for the results. A little bit pricey but worth keeping an eye open as there are ...  Read the complete review

I must say that i was an absolute idiot for buying this. At £4.99 I thought that the price and flashy name would do the trick but well.. I guess i was the fool. I did read the label in the shop and with all the long words and over use of "straight", "non-frizzy" and "shiny" what girl would resist? As a treat i bought it and rushed home to get some on. After washing my hair i applied the product exactly as it said on the label and was rather excited as to what it would look like once blow dried. Big mistake! I was to meet my friends at the cinema in 20 minutes but I couldn't and just looked in the mirror. ...  Read the complete review
