Latest love: John Frieda Root Awakening shampoo & conditioner

My hair is quite unruly and since I was about 13 years old, the only thing that has been able to keep it under control are products from John Frieda. Don't get me wrong, curiosity does get the better of me and I do experiment with other products and brands, but I always come back to what I know and love best - the stuff that works. For the last couple of months I have been using the new Root Awakening range, and I have to say, it's fabulous - definitely the best shampoo and conditioner from the brand!

I originally bought this thinking that it would be volumising (Root Awakening screams volume to me) but John Frieda markets it as a strength-infusing shampoo and conditioner, that feeds your roots and hydrates your scalp, giving you stronger, healthier and shinier hair. I definitely agree with that! My hair still isn't in the best condition after years and years, and years more of being a bright blonde, but since I've been using this my hair has felt so much softer and looks shinier. Styling my hair isn't as much of an issue because my hair seems a lot sleeker, and it doesn't seem as weighed down or heavy either. I don't have to deal with flyaways or kinks anymore, which has always been something that bothered me immensely. I used to carry a portable, gas-cylinder hair straightener to school with me because it bothered me so much! My only slight criticism is that my roots tend to get greasy a bit quicker, but that could be because I'm using the one for 'dry' hair, which might be a little too nourishing for my roots. It could also be the concoction of styling products I use! All it means is I have to wash my hair a day earlier than I used to. You could even use a bit of dry shampoo to freshen up your roots, so it's not the end of the world.

Another thing I adore about this range is the smell. It has natural eucalyptus, so smells really fresh. I love the tingly, invigorating feeling on my scalp, and I just feel my hair is really refreshed, clean, and hydrated. Love, love, love this stuff, so a huge two thumbs up from me!

Have you tried it? What do you think?
