The consistency of the stuff is sort of like a slippery pudding. Okay, so I'd read some other reviews, and a lot of people found this stuff drying, so I conditioned as usual before using the glaze, and then dabbed on a bit of conditioner after I rinsed it out as well. The instructions say to use the product every other day until the desired result is achieved, and so this review will span my 3 uses of this product over 6 days. The colour "re-awakening" part is supposed to come on gradually - after about 3 uses or so. After 3 minutes, you're supposed to rinse it out and discover newly glossy locks. The instructions say to shampoo and condition as usual, and then massage the glaze into wet hair. So I figured that this lightest of the brunette shades would be just right. My lightest strands are probably closer to a dark blonde, but the streaks were getting a bit freaky and brassy, and I wanted to tone them down. The John Frieda Luminous Colour Glaze promises to "reawaken lackluster brunette hair with a shot of dazzling brown color, satiny texture and multi-dimensional shine". I bought the "Cognac to Maple" shade to match my aforementioned highlights. Sort of like a toner, maybe? I don't know, but as a girl who's currently sporting about 6 shades of highlights (accumulated from past highlighting trips, I mean - I was never aiming for a crazily highlit look), I was thrilled to hear about products that might: a) liven-up the dull-ish colour a bit, and b) give me that ever-elusive Shampoo Commercial Shine. From what I gather, these products are typically used in salons to enrichen colour and add glossy shine.
Lately though, there's been a lot of buzz about "glossers". The quest for a glassy, mirror-like sheen on our locks is nothing new. So, we've all been swimming in shine serums, shine sprays, pomades, and a whole wack load of other shine-enhancing products since the late 90's. And so here I sit, sipping my wine, sniffing my wrists (long story) and making another Random Product Review!
JOHN FRIEDA CLEAR GLAZE PLUS
And it's only going to get better: I've got loads of marking to do, plus meetings and training sessions, plus dinners with visiting lecturers, and I have to read 3 papers, prepare a talk, and get an oil change, all before next week! But right now, I have moments to spare. What with all the strenuous procrastination and mental strain of slacking off, combined with the back-breaking effort involved in sleeping in until past noon.
