John Frieda Go Blonder Shampoo (review)

John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo review 


Well to start, I'll tell you that I have fine wavy blonde hair naturally (dark blonde) and I've tried a few things to try and get a fresh brighter blonde, including John Frieda Sheer Blonde. Sheer blonde in my opinion, is a great shampoo, leaves your hair feeling amazing! But it doesn't do what I buy it for, to brighten up my blonde hair :( I decided to try their 'Go Blonder' range, as I really want to brighten up my hair, without the use of hair dye! This is the product description: 
New Sheer Blonde® go blonder shampoo and conditioner, with citrus, chamomile and no harsh chemicals, gradually lightens hair to achieve a magical sun-kissed sparkle all year round



Trying 'go blonder' for the first time


The John Frieda Go Blonder range retails for around £5 each, but there are usually deals in Boots, Superdrug, Sainsburys etc where you can get two (shampoo & conditioner) for £7 which is pretty good if you like the product! 


Being a student, I can't really be splashing out £7 on shampoo.... so that's why I'm glad they have a travel size so I could give it a go! I bought the travel size Shampoo for around £1.95, still pricey in my opinion! (didn't bother with the conditioner, but perhaps the overall outcome would have been better using both together...) and I have to say, I don't like this product.....


My experience with 'Go Blonder' shampoo


I have found that this shampoo, unlike the Sheer Blonde, leaves my hair feeling very weighed down, and it almost feels like the product just won't wash out. Also, I find that it makes my dry scalp aggravated, and the flakes are more prominent and visible. I would have liked to use this shampoo for  a while, so that I could see noticeable results (lighter, brighter hair!) but the disadvantages I've just mentioned were just too unbearable for me, so I've discontinued using it! 


Advantages: none that I can mention
Disadvantages: weighs hair down, aggravates scalp, price, no noticeable results


Alternatives?
I have found that John Frieda 'Sheer Blonde' is by far a superior product! It's pricey like 'Go Blonder' but the overall result is soft manageable blonder hair :)


Another product that I have used, is Superdrug Colour effects wash in wash out colour (even though I don't really like to dye my hair) it's really cheap and gives your hair some colour (more colour each time you use it)


Please feel free to comment with your experiences with this product, perhaps it worked for you! :)
