John Frieda Frizz Ease Conditioner, Shampoo & Hair Serum Ingredients and Review

So you might remember that I reviewed the John Frieda Dream Curls products a while back, curls- check them out! This time I was sent the John Frieda Frizz Ease products to try, and I was so over due with trying them out. They are like the classics for curly/frizzy hair that I never tried. When I was young and lived in Sweden where there were only white hair salons, the only thing they had to recommend was actually the John Frieda Frizz Ease Hair Serum, but I never got around to trying it. Overall I'd say I actually like these products a little more than the Dream Curl ones.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Hydrating Conditioner: So the formula of this conditioner is not very thick, and it has great slip. The third ingredient is the gentle detangler Behentrimonium Chloride which is followed by an alcohol and Olive Oil. I am not sure if the conditioner itself prevent frizz as I did not air dry my hair after using it. Definitely a conditioner I would recommend and I think it would be suitable for all hair types. Smells yummy too!

Ingredient Check:
  • Mineral oil (/)
  • Silicones (√)
  • Parabens (/)
  • Butylene/Propylene Glycol (√)
  • Alcohol (√)
  • Sulfates (/)

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Hydrating Shampoo: So the first thing I noticed about this was that the formula of this looked slightly different to the normal pearlescent shampoo, it looked more like a gel or custard. I was super impressed by the fact that it gave my hair amazing slip and I was able to detangle my extremely knotty tangled afro hair, so much so that when I then conditioned it, I didn't have to detangle. However it is definitely a clarifying shampoo with both of the harsh sulfates, and it leaves my hair feeling very stripped (which I don't mind, because I will obviously condition it afterwards).

Ingredient Check:


  • Mineral oil (/)
  • Silicones (√)
  • Parabens (√)
  • Butylene/Propylene Glycol (/)
  • Alcohol (√)
  • Sulfates (√) (Laureth and Lauryl)
John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Original Formula: So the first thing I noticed about this, and why I had never bought it before is because it contains mineral oil, which is a pretty cheap synthetic version of an oil which can cause build up on the hair and kind of coat it. However, in all honesty that does makes sense for an anti frizz product as those things are what would prevent frizz. I used it to blow dry my hair and had recently used a similar products so it was easy for me to make a comparison. I think this serum definitely worked as well or a bit better on my hair and it left it shiny and frizz free. It is a silicone based serum so that will naturally product from heat and in addition to that it contains hydrolysed silk which can help making your hair smooth. 

Have you tried these products?
