Recently, a reader sent me John Frieda Frizz Ease Weather Works products to try. Formulated with dimethicone, a type of silicone, the product is unique because it is designed to “keep the moisture in” while still keeping “unwanted moisture out.” But how well does the product work? FutureDerm investigates, with the help of her awesome curly-haired friend Robin…
Not great for straight or fine hair
My hair is long and naturally straight, and I use large foam rollers on a daily basis to give it some body. Unfortunately, after using John Frieda Frizz Ease Weather Works shampoo ($5.25, Amazon.com), even my rollers and mousse couldn’t give my hair any volume. Poker-straight after shower, poker-straight after rollers. I was sort-of disappointed. However, I decided to give it to my very kind, curly-haired friend Robin to try, of which she said:
Great for curly and thick hair!
Robin’s exact quote: “The shampoo and conditioner worked great on my hair- it took out some volume, but I didn’t have 5 bazillion fly aways!!” (I told you she was nice.) The dimethicone content in the product seems to be great for anyone with curly and thick hair for the same reason it is not beneficial for anyone with straight or fine hair: it weighs the hair down.
So there you have it!
Perhaps not the most scientific review I have ever done, but one bad hair day (for me), one friend, and one awesome hair day (for her) later, I can concur that John Frieda Frizz Ease Weather Works products are amazing for curly and thick hair. 🙂 Just avoid them if your hair is naturally poker-straight, fine or thin! 🙂
