John Freida Foam Hair Dye

Okay, really? I had a coupon for a free box of john freidas new foam hair dye. My hair is a medium brown color and i bought light brown. So not only does my hair look darker than it was to begin with but i now look like i have brown dandruff stuck to my head... No wonder it was free...

  • I've tried the nice and easy foam hair dye and it sticks to everything. My hair also came out darker using it. I liked that it worked well in staying in my hair right away, but over the long term it didn't hold up. That might be a good thing for u.

    bummer. i like the loreal foam colour. just a hint though, you can't get your hair to go a whole heck of a lot lighter with at home colour unless you bleach first, they really aren't meant to do that. unless you have gone light brown with other colours before..lol, than just ignore me :P

    I have a box of this in my cabinet right now :( I haven't used it before.

    I have tried the Sammy foam dye and it was amazing.
  • lol, i have went light before with at home colors, but this is the first time ive tried the foam

    yup, color doesn't lift color.

    tried it last week.

    It was very messy. I'll stick with Feria from now on.

    Unless you bleach your hair it will not lighten....hair color deposit, not lift colors.Also, to avoid the color depositing onto your scalp you'll have to use a tint brush :0)

    Not that I am biased (as a former cosmetologist) but I'd definitely say coloring your hair is worth visiting the salon instead of going for the free box :0)

    I used this once this summer. Then my stylist told me to never, ever, EVER use it again, and fixed my color for free because he was so horrified.

    thats odd, ive lightened my hair many many many times using at home coloring before.
  • I am surprised that you had issues with it. I absolutely love it!
  • permanent dye will lighten hair, but semi permanent (aka: wash in) can't lighten hair at all. I don't know what kind that is but it may be part of the issue if it's semi permanent.

    I used John Freida the other day and my bathroom floor is now browner than my hair. I feel a trip to the hairdressers is in order very soon...
