So as many of you know i am a natural brunette. I do dye my hair dark brown/black from time to time. Although, I did recently decide to go blonde but after experiencing how damaged and dry my hair looked and felt i decided to go back to my natural roots! My hair is already looking and feeling much better and I have decided to take a break from dying my hair which is why I got so excited about the new John Frieda Visibly Deeper Range!

Let me quickly explain what makes this product so amazing.. By using this shampoo and conditioner it helps to create deeper, richer, more lustrous tones in your hair. This simultaneously helps to add moisture to your hair and is formulated with cocoa and primrose oil. So you can now have beautiful dark hair without having to dye it or spend a ton of money at the salon! How cool is this?

These products have a truly amazing smell to them! The shampoo is a silky smooth texture and the conditioner is very rich and creamy.

This product has completely taken me by surprise and I cannot wait to keep you guys updated with my experience and the results.

I will be doing a giveaway of these two lovely products on my instagram page (@helloitsangeli) so make sure you enter!

Hi Kids.

I got my package the other day and was pleasantly surprised by the bottle sizes! 250ml What a bargain for R120 bucks.

Now I've been trying to go natural for quite some time but due my my hairs reluctance and lack of funds for curly hair holy grails - I decided no.

Here's where John Frieda comes in. The heat from straightening and blow-drying results in my hair struggling to retain hair colour and so I'm excited to see where this product takes me, as I absolutely love dark hair.

The shampoo and conditioner smells amazing! I love the floral notes on the nose and the way it smells like a subdued High-End Perfume. I see a summer without having to worry about what I smell like thanks to this.

On the note of texture, I love how the shampoo and conditioner feels respectively the shampoo has a lovely viscous feel to it that I cant tell will result in a thorough clean and good moisture retention. The Conditioner has a very silky feel to it which reminds me of Dove's oil nourishing range. And I must admit I'm not mad at it.

These were my first impressions, please do watch this space for updates. I can't wait to share with you how it works.

Clicks didn't have stock of the visibly deeper conditioner so I used the visibly deeper shampoo, treatment and the brunette color protecting conditioner. The results are amazing compared to the color my hair was previously. It really gives your strands that deep brown color with each wash. The condition of my hair has also improved since using this range. Its shinier and so much more manageable.

I recently bought the deeply brunette products, as they were rated pretty high on the site, and being a lover of coloring my hair I felt the need to find something that protects and nourishes my hair, yet retains the salon color.

With my first wash I refused to review just yet, as I felt it was too soon to tell. Like they say the proof is in the pudding, but only once you taste it.

So, I waited a full 5 washes before i write review of my own.My hair is super long and fine but well cared for. I believe my hair is like a mane of a lion, its your pride and joy.

The smell and packaging of the product, showed the professionalism and it instantly meant John Frieda was serious about hair care as I was. I used the product three times a week as my hair oils up quick with work and all the physical activities of a day.

I found the product to brighten my hair color the brunette parts of my hair and left it less tangled than i use to have it before. My hair blow dried a lot faster and kept a lot more volume, without extra products in it compared to other products I previously used. The product left my hair feeling sleek and healthy and less damaged from the dye. the down side of the product is, my hair is 8 different shades of brunette and browns as my hair stylists loves to go Kyalami on my salon visits. She always tries a new cut and her new versions of colors to compliment my skin tone and my lifestyle. I sometimes feel she complicates my hair care and styling on a daily, but she is right my hair makes me feel great about my skin tone and complements my career.

I would definitely recommend it to others, but i wouldn't recommend it for people who have more than 3 shades in their hair. It works for some parts of color and the others are left looking slightly limp. Cost wise it is a little pricey but worth it if you spend that much on salons, for me with super long hair, it's costly as I use a lot more product than a person with short or medium length hair.

So in conclusion, the product is worth every last cent and it gives results, but it was not the product for my hair colors.

I was lovingly gifted the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner to review for Beauty Bulletin - thank you Beauty Bulletin.
I took on the trial even though it is just the ends of my hair that are brunette and apart from being interested in the range, I also wanted to show that hair care products do not know your race but are texture or 'hair need' specific and we need to stop bypassing the so called white people or black people hair care aisles and notice what our own individual hair requirements or hair needs or hair wants are and then find the solution regardless of the aisle.
(okay I've said my tiny vent on that points (o:)
If you have colour treated hair you need to ensure you are using colour friendly hair care products. John Frieda as well as many hair care brand do have a range specifically for colour treated hair (as well as natural hair with colour specific needs). The Brilliant Brunette Visibly Brighter Subtle Lightening Shampoo and Conditioner have been formulated to enhance the glow of the hair and boost lightness. (not lightness as in make your hair turn from brown to blonde but lightness as in help give a subtle glow). How do they do this - they are formulated as colour depositing, ammonia and peroxide free products.
I received the products about 10 days ago - I used both the shampoo and conditioner the same day that I had received them as I was due to wash my hair and then mid way I used just the conditioner as a co-wash and then I used both the shampoo and conditioner one more time on the due date of the review (the pressure lol) but on the 3rd use I made sure to pre-poo with a blend of oils and a detangling spray before using the shampoo. (I detangle before I wash so that the product spread easily and reaches the scalp and for more defined curls). The first time I used the products I noticed a slight dryness (ignoring all other factors that might have contributed to this such as not having done a treatment for a while etc etc) and because the shampoo does have sulfates I felt that for my texture (very curly with some kinks and coils) I did need to pre-poo.
At all times of using the products my hair felt:
soft
smelt GREAT
only a little dry the first time but moisturised and clean all other times
did not feel stripped or too crisp
the colour looked enriched somewhat
the colour did look brighter to a degree and not dull - there was a glow
I did notice a warm tinge or brown or glow to the darker naturally black part of the hair just in the front (not all the hair)
even after the last rinse and before applying any other oil or styling product, the hair had a shine to it
did I mention smells great - a luxurious scent
I would not necessarily use weekly for my own hair but would alternate with my other hair care products depending on the look I wanted and because I feel for a richer conditioner now and again and because the shampoo has sulfate in it.
did not fade the colour of the hair
curls did remain slightly defined as not too frizzed
please note that my white hair did not change colour )o:
So following along and answering the guide or questions Beauty Bulletin asked:
> How did it compare to my usual look - the hair colour did seem to glow even after only the 3rd use - perhaps this would increase with more uses.
> Would I recommend these products to others - yes - especially curls, kinks and coils that are colour treated, even highlights or low lights. John Frieda has products for different colour treated hair so one would need to pick the appropriate range as the products do deposit a specific shade of colour. I would also advise them to treat the hair as per usual and just watch out for additional dryness or alternate with more moisture giving products depending on their texture requirements. John Frieda do have treatments in the same Visibly Brighter range. I personally would not use the shampoo weekly unless I was using heavy oils and butters to seal in the moisture during the week. Please also note that my hair strands are on the fine side and pick up colour easier than thicker strands - results may differ. (I think this is also why I notice some brown tone to the naturally black part of my hair - not all).
> Would I purchase the shampoo and conditioner - only if my whole head of hair was brunette or if I had more colour then yes I would as they are colour depositing and colour friendly products and would save from having to go for colour treatment at the salon too often
Just a question from me to John Frieda - so would the hair or is the hair meant to lighten more after each wash or does it stop at a certain shade of lightness - and what if you want hair darkened as opposed to lightened? (well I suppose you would pick another hair care range from the same brand - they have a number).
> Do I feel that the shampoo and conditioner are value for money - they are priced at R110 each (as at 9 November 2016) which is the price range of hair care products nowadays - I do however wish that the conditioner was a larger size - don't we all (o:

Thank you Beauty Bulletin and John Frieda.

Hi fellow Beauties.
I was one of the 50 lucky ladies to be chosen by BB to review this great product called John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner.
When I recieved the parcel I will say I was super excited because the fragrance that was emanating from the parcel was beautiful! It smelt like a Queen had entered the room with a million rand perfume on her hehe.
As soon as I got home I hopped into the shower and used the Brilliant Brunette on my hair.
The next day my hair was quite flat and lifeless but I think I might have used too much and kinda drowned my hair.
2 days later I used it again and my hair definitely looked alot better. My hair was soft and lighter and was a bit more bouncier. My hair did start frizzing a bit later in the day.
2 days after that I washed my hair again and there was more difference than in the second Wash.
Then I washed my hair yesterday again. My hair defo looks healthier and feels great. It's still frizzes a bit later in the day.
All in all this is definitely a great product. It does what it says it will do on the bottle. My hair doesn't seem to have changed in color at all but sure it will the longer I use it. I have very long thick hair and it's definitely a bit pricey for me as the bottles won't even last me a month. If the bottles were bigger and the price a bit lower I would definitely consider using it again.
I'll give this product a clean 7 out of 10.

I love the fact that John Frieda came out with a range dedicated to brunette hair, because there is so many products for blondes but brunettes are expected to use just one product.

It is also wonderful that the products work on colour treated hair or virgin hair.

The shampoo is not your regular white colour but rather brown, and the bottle has a caution label saying to rinse your hands after using it as it might stain them.

I didn’t notice a huge difference after the first wash but I noticed a difference by the 3rd wash,
It made my hair colour deeper and richer, therefore it is a gradual build of colour and not something that will occur straight away. I personally think the products worked great on my hair as I have virgin hair.

The products also left my hair’s texture feeling shiny and smooth.

The product retails for R110 for the shampoo and conditioner each, it is expensive for shampoo and conditioner but it made me feel like I was getting a salon treatment at home, and in the long run you would be saving on colour treating your hair as you wouldn’t visit the salon as often as you usually do.

I definitely would recommend it to people who want to maintain their brunette colour or darken their brunette colour and I would purchase the products again, I feel it is worth it for the money you pay.

Thank you so much Beauty Bulletin for sending me the products to test out

Welcome to my first ever review!

I'm popping my cherry with this John Frieda Brilliantly longwinded shampoo and conditioner.
Luckily using it was simpler than trying to say it .

The product had me at it's packaging! It looks super sleek and professional. The smell is enough to send any woman well on her way to munching copious amounts of chocolate... so I've heard .

Pretty much your standard shampoo and conditioner routine, lather, rinse , repeat. Except i did get a slight tingling feeling on my scalp; must mean it's working.

Queue 7 days later ( 4 washes ) and Voila! You have what the bottle promises: a shade or two darker of your natural hair, with glossier locks that come with a complimentary frizz.

In all fairness, I could attribute this to the fact that I personally don't put conditioner on my roots as it encourages dandruff. Definitely consider using the treatment that comes part of the same range.

This product is great for those who can't handle commitment ( of any kind) and like to leave their hair in their own hands. I know if a few people who have had some pretty scarring hair salon visits and would be thrilled to have this product; plus you save more!

As for myself, I will finish using the bottles because I like free stuff and because I still want my hair a bit darker, like my sense of humor.

Fancy a try? Get this John Frieda shampoo and conditioner at Clicks for R110 each :D

Hi Beauty bulletin Fam!

I received the John Frieda Brilliant Brunette visibly deeper shampoo and conditioner about two weeks ago . When I receieved it i was impressed with the packaging, felt luxurious, it had a black matte finish at the top and a shimmery bronze look at the bottom. It smells like flowers , I have never used any products from the John Frieda line so this is a first for me.

Overall packaging is pretty! I only got three washes out so far since i received it , so far the results are fairly good. After the first wash i didnt see much difference the only thing i noticed was how soft my hair was.. i used about a tablespoon of shampoo because i have long thick hair and i used about a teaspoon of conditioner ..I do feel alittle goes a long way with the shampoo, the shampoo makes alot of foam so if you have thin hair u only need a tiny bit. I washed my hair the second time and i could see some difference , my hair looked darker in colour and richer which was the main benefit of this product.

I would say this product would differ for every person. Personally for me it did make my hair darker however my hair did feel dry before and after blowing out , it could just be because I have really curly hair naturally..i dont know but i did use a heat protectant before blowing. I felt i didnt have alot of moisture in my hair so I reached for my Argan oil to finish the look.

I wish I had used this product for longer to give a full on review on it, I have only had 3 washes out so far so I feel its too early to say what the benefits are but I will use it finish and do a part 2 review and give my final opinion but for right now im still trying it out.

So far I can tell you that it DOES give you a deeper tone to your hair , it makes your hair soft and it smells good too.

These do retail for R110 each so If you love indulging and you are a quality over quantity kind of girl then this you would totally go for. If you are someone that is frugal then this wont wont be something you will reach for. I will recommend this duo to woman that has dull hair that wants a vibrant deeper natural colour tint to their hair the this you should definately try.

You would save money in going to a salon to do touch ups to your hair, I feel this does make your hair look richer and darker.

I would replace my normal conditioner with this colour depositing treatment. The unique blend of cool tones and hair smoothing technology even out faded colour, and leaves my hair looking deeper, darker, richer and highly reflective.

Its a revolutionary at home hair colour solution and it is safe for use on natural or colour-treated hair and for use on highlights & lowlights

TO get the full affect start with Brilliant Brunette Visibly Deeper Colour Deepening Shampoo. I leave it on for 5mins before rinsing.
Then massage a generous amount if needed of the conditioner evenly through the lengths of your wet hair, comb through, leaving on for 5 minutes, and then rinse well.
For deeper colour, leave on for up to 10 minutes before rinsing.
You will def see a difference if you use this consistantly.

I could hardly contain myself when I heard I was chosen for a "John Frieda" review. I received my parcel quit fast and I could not wait to get home and try it for myself.

The whole courier bag smelt devine. Both the shampoo and the conditioner is in a awesome package and the colour will make it easy to find on a shelve.

I open the shampoo - it is marked very definate - no ways you will not be able to spot the difference between the shampoo and the conditioner - it smelt like heaven. The fragrance fills the whole bathroom. THe shampoo is a rich brown colour and you can see the shimmer of goodness in it. I prefer to wash my hair twice. Once removes the dirt and hairspray, products, gels, waxes or what ever I have in for that day and the second time - I believe - the goodness of the shampoo can now be absorbed into my hair....

The conditioner is the same dark brown shimmering colour and the same glorious smell, but for me - only my opion - not rich enough. It goes on nice and your hair is conditioned, but I - again - my opion - I prefer a thicker, richer conditioner because I believe conditioner is the food our hair needs.

After the washing and conditioning I went further and towel dried my hair and used the same styling products as always.

After the second time around I could see a richer more vibriant colour to my bounches. You can see the result in using a coloured shampoo/conditioner. I would even consider in buying the shampoo and just pair it with another conditionerm cause the concept works, I just prefer a more masky - richer - thicker conditioner.

I hope that my dead honesty doesn't bite me, but I do believe we get asked for our own opinion and not just a "WOW - IT's AWESOME" review in the hope to get chosen again.

In short - I love the shampoo - it is priced perfectly - it does great things to my hair and it smells like heavens doors opend. I would just not say the same for the conditioner.

Thanks for letting me part of a great system were we are part of greatness!!

I was so excited and thrilled when BB contacted me to be part of the #meandjohnfrieda campaign. When I received the products I could not wait to try the shampoo and conditioner.

As a hair and beauty fanatic, I am always on the lookout for products that can help me with the following issues:
1. Dry hair
2. Retaining colour
3. Volume
4. Better moisture retention

I also recently coloured my hair from black to mahogany and usually my colour only lasts a month or so. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that I am not using the correct shampoo/conditioner combination for coloured hair.


Nevertheless, I have washed and conditioned my hair twice and will do the video review after I have done a third and final wash.

At this point, I need to mention that I have extremely curly/frizzy hair which I often refer to as a 'Frizz Frenzy' or 'Curl Confusion' because of its tendency to tangle after being washed. Thank goodness for my detangler.
I will try to give as much detail as possible in this review and include some before and after pics. (photography skills not that great)

Some info about the products:
I received a luxurious full size brilliant brunette shampoo and conditioner but, there are distinct differences between the two. (you will see this in the pics). The shampoo is a very rich, dark brown colour almost dark chocolate while the conditioner, also rich is a much lighter brown. That is how I could tell them apart without looking at what was written on the tube. 250ml is a very generous size and would usually last me just over a month.

Steps for use and application:
1. I start off my loosening my hair (which is usually in a soft pinned bun) and comb through gently. I find doing that helps with tangles.
2. Gently wet my hair with some water (if I have to measure that I would say about a cup) just to prepare my hair for the shampoo and save water.
3. Squeeze about a handful of shampoo from the tube but this will vary based on the length of your hair. My hair is short so this is just the correct amount.
4. Apply to hair and massage through roots, scalp and ends. Apply a little water to emulsify.
The shampoo has a very rich later and smells great! I savor the cocoa smell which is very distinct!
5. Leave the shampoo on for about a minute. Rinse and apply conditioner. I do not comb it through just use the same massaging technique. Also allow to set for a minute.
6. Finally we rinse. Use an old t-shirt to dry (no towel) and we are ready for styling.

Styling:
As a rule I try and limit the amount of heat I use on my hair by using Velcro rollers instead. Picked them up at Dischem and they are amazing. No fussing with pins, just roll and stick.
Divide hair into sections and roll using Velcro rollers. Allow hair to dry naturally. Only use a hairdryer during the last 30 minutes before removing the rollers.

The results
there is definitely a noticeable difference. The shampoo and conditioner not only enhanced my colour but added volume, texture, softness and easy to manage.
It is not a substantial difference from my normal look however, the distinguishing factor lies in the richness of the colour pigments and my hair smells divine! #ColourBrilliance #SalonWorthyHair

The final verdict:
I think these products speak for themselves. Whenever I pick up a bottle of #meandjohnfrieda shampoo, conditioner or treatment I know I am getting value for money and a product that delivers on it's promise which is beautiful, salon worthy hair.

I do believe that when I run out of stock I will be visiting my local Clicks to pick up another supply and you should too but, don't just take my word for it; try it for yourself. You hair can only go from one level of brilliance to the next!
