John Frieda Blonde Go Blonder Controlled Lightening Spray Results and Review

Hi girls, I hope you're all making it through this very cold and wet weather. Surely it can't last much longer now?

Today I wanted to share with you my results for John Frieda Blonde Go Blonder lightening spray because it's worked really well whenever I've used it over the last couple of years.

This product is a great alternative to home dying which I used to do this a lot, when even though you had pictures on the boxes to go by you could never tell what it was going to come out as! So if you want your hair brightened up a bit or gradually want to turn it lighter, this could be the product for you - IF you have naturally blonde hair already.

My natural hair colour is a dull ash blonde and has natural highlights and lowlights in it already. I took the 'before' picture a couple of months ago when I had just got my haircut and the only dye that was on it was the remnants of the last time I used the spray which had grown out about half way. The 'after' picture shows two uses of the spray and I tried to take it in the same location and lighting.

The photos don't do much justice really as it's more noticeable in person. However I think you can tell that where my hair was darker before at the roots it's been lightened all over while still keeping my natural highlights. Again, you can't really tell from my bad quality photos but I found the photos on the side of the box below really accurate and my hair colour lightened as I expected it to judging by these - whilst also lightening my hair it gave it more of a golden tone..

I used a lot of spray each time as I really wanted to make sure I had covered my whole head. The instructions state that the more heat you apply when drying and styling your hair, the better results you'll see. I blow dried and straightened my hair both times with medium settings as I didn't want to use heat protection spray along with the lightening spray. One of my friends who also used this product said it really dried her hair out, so I wouldn't go too crazy with the first application just to test how your hair reacts to it. From my experience it my hair dried out ever so slightly, but I think that's down to the heat application more than anything and giving it a good conditioning the next day sorts it out.

The packaging also states that you can use the product up to 10 times, but I think I have quite a noticeable difference with just 2! I do have very thin hair though, so having a lot of thick hair may need more sprays.

So far I've used about a third of a bottle in a couple of years, seeing as the lightening is permanent and I have really thin hair. If you don't want to spend up to £6 every time you want to dye your hair when your roots grow out or simply want a subtle change, this is a great option as you can lighten your hair to your taste, or only spray your roots if your previous colour is growing out. The spray is £6.99 from most popular drug stores.
