Anyone ever used John Frieda foam colour?

I usually use Nutrisse and have been happy with it but, the mousse was on offer. Is it any good?

It's not bad. I found it very easy to use but didn't cover my greys as well as the Nice and Easy foam.

Yep. Used it once and have never looked back. Sooo easy to use and apply. As long as you massage thoroughly it wont be patchy. Normally quite pricey the john frieda one, but i think the colour lasts pretty well also. Where is it on offer?! lol :D

Ha Smile my favourite shop. Superdrug. The loyalty points soon add up Smile

Now, if you had about and inch of roots coming through but you were going for a similar colour. Would you do the roots first method or, just the whole thing at once?

I want to do it in the next ten minutes, I cant face my greys much longer!

I found it really easy to apply, but the colour wasn't a very dramatic shade. Maybe I picked the worng shade but there didn;t seem to be a lot of choice.

I really like it (more than the Nice N'Easy foam one). The colour was even, coloured the (shocking amount of) grey. The one thing I would say is that it came out a rather darker colour than I was hoping. Not too bad, but just more than I'd expected.

its easy to use but didn't cover greys very well and faded quickly.

One of the easiest to use without a doubt. Colour was good but faded quite quickly. I would buy it again as long as I could get it cheaper than the RRP. I bought 3 when they were half price in Boots.

Im just letting it dry. I find it very hard to judge with colour unless Im doing something dramatic. It was very easy to put on though and, its obvious why its so expensive. Its all the packaging and fancy gloves.

Ive used it once but wouldn't get it again.

Pros: dead easy to use, didn't smell as horrible as some

Cons: didn't cover greys well, couldn't just use half to do my roots the way I usually do [cheap emoticon]

Let us know how you get on.

I also found it didn't cover my greys

I wouldn't buy it again. Was easy to apply and no mess and drips but really patchy despite massaging in well and faded quickly. I also wonder how easy it would be to colour roots with foam.

well, I cant speak for the back of it but, the colour is fine. Its redder than I thought it would be but, Im not too obbsessed as long as it doesnt make me look drained. My greys are covered but, I do have very fine hair. It wasnt messy and, yes, I would use it again. If it was on offer.

I tried it and wouldn't use it again. Difficult to apply and patchy - the bottle needed constant shaking to keep it mixed evenly. The colour faded quickly, too.
I've also used the Nice & Easy foam colour and that was even worse!

I've been dying mine for years and these new foam colours aren't a success, imo.
