Sheer Blonde Post 2

So I posted HERE about using the John Frieda Sheer Blonde collection. I did like it and I do think it was lightening and improving my dull blonde hair. 

Unfortunately I have had to stop using it *sad times*! 

I mentioned in the previous post about how I had noticed a bumpy rash appear on the back of my neck after I started using this range. Well this minor rash got bigger, itchy and noticeable when my hair was up. 

Since I have stopped using it it has gone away completely.

I would still recommend it if you don't have particularly sensitive skin but if you do then I wouldn't bother. 

I may try this range again in a few months and see how it goes.

Meanwhile I would like to try other blonde ranges. 

I have been recommended Tigi Dumb Blonde and Schwarzkopf Touch of Silver ranges. 

Anymore recommendations?

Sheer Blonde?

A while ago I posted that I bought the following products -

Sheer Blonde Colour Renew - Tone Correcting Shampoo - £5.89 

Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Correcting Conditioner - £5.89

Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Correcting Mousse - £5.59 

I have used these for a few weeks now and thought I would give you my thoughts on them.

Firstly I do like the range and I think it has helped lighten up my hair. 

Here is a picture after using the products for 2 weeks. My natural highlights are standing out a bit more than before.

I don't think there has been the change I was hoping for though. Maybe I need to use the products on a more long term basis maybe?

The smell of the shampoo and conditioner is pleasant but there are some chemically undertones.

My hair always feels clean after using the shampoo, not like it has a film on it.

The conditioner is quite light, I have fine hair but like to use a lot of conditioner and this doesn't make it limp of greasy.

I don't think I would re comment this to those with really damaged hair as I think it has dried my ends out ever so slightly. Nothing a bit of oil cannot fix thought!

I use the mousse when I blow dry my hair and it is okay but I have used better mousses which weren't quite as expensive! I suppose it is worth it if it lightens my hair but it isn't great for styling.

I am pleased with these products as they haven't irritated my scalp which quite a few hair care ranges do. But on the other had I have developed a bumpy rash under my skin on the back of my neck. The only products I have changed are to these. So my powers of deductions says that it is a reaction to them! It isn't itchy or red though so I am not too concerned about using the rest up! But if you do have very sensitive skin I would probably stay away!

I am not sure if I would buy this range again. I think I would try other blonde ranges first to see which is most effective!

Any recommendations?
