John Frieda Go Blonder Lightening Spray, Gradually Lightens Blonde Color, For Natural or Color-Treated Hair, Formulated with a Citrus Bontanical Blend, Paraben Free, 3.5 Oz, Pack of 2

This lightened my brown hair to blonde and brightens my blonde hair soo much

Absolutely love to use this to lighten my hair. It works so well and doesn’t damage my hair!

Works great been using this brand for years

I have naturally blonde hair, and this definitely lightens my hair. Been using it like using it a 2-3 times a week with a really good hair mask in between with a heat protectant each use, just because i’m not trying to be out here frying my hair off lol. Depending on how much you apply it can be drying. Also paired with a really good purple or blue shampoo helps keep that yellow and orange tone away.

Initial review: So, I was one of those kids with "dirty blonde" or "dishwater blonde" hair and as I got older it darkened considerably. (I actually dyed it dark brown and then black for many years, but my hair has been dye-free for at least 5 years now.) I was curious to see it truly blonde again, since it had those ashy gold undertones that didn't let it fully commit to being what so many folks ABSOLUTELY INSIST is "light brown." I knew going the salon route would end up bankrupting me especially if I wanted to do any kind of highlighting/dimensional effect. So, thought I'd give this a try instead. The bottle says results should be visible between 5 and 10 uses. For me it took several months of washing my hair every 4 days and using this product at least once (but often more than that) per wash cycle before I really started to notice a difference. I've been through 4 bottles now, and it's brought out some interesting effects in my hair. The first thing I noticed was that it gave my hair a really healthy shine. I've had people ask what products I use to get it so shiny, but less questions about the color, lol. I've also noticed that my hair has some prominent red undertones - something that was masked while it was darker. At first I tried to counteract this by slathering on purple toner, but you can't purple shampoo away the red. Just embrace it if your hair is like mine. I love my hair color now. I do still wonder what it would look like with platinum highlights, but that's out of my budget for now, so this is a nice (and less harsh) alternative. Some notes about my routine: for my first use, to get things going, I mixed about half a bottle of this product with a bunch of the Go Blonder mask in a bowl, then absolutely saturated my hair with it and left it in for about an hour before shampooing and conditioning as normal. I noticed no difference. I didn't do this intensive treatment again, but I did use 2 bottles each of the Go Blonder shampoo and conditioner along with this product for the first 2 months. After that first treatment, I used as recommended, spritzing it all over my hair post-wash. If I am going out in the sun for awhile, I always try to spray some more in to get a little extra lightening effect. I have also tried a purple toner conditioning treatment which did nothing for me. Recently I tried changing my part, and that's when I really noticed the difference in color! I do spray everywhere, but my guess is that the sun hitting that top layer makes a big difference. Bottom line: it probably won't give you platinum blonde hair. But it will make your hair shiny and overall a bit lighter over time. UPDATE Nov. 2022: For fun, I recently started using the Eva NYC "Tone It Down Blonde" line of shampoo, conditioner and leave-in cream, and not only am I starting to see less red in my hair, I also think the lightening effect of the John Frieda spray is amplified. My advice, based on this: find a good toning product that works for you to use in conjunction with the spray - it can be challenging, but also try BLUE instead of PURPLE if your hair isn't super light. And be patient!! UPDATE March 2023: I've found that my hair doesn't lighten past the most recent photo on here using this product (to go lighter, I'd need to bleach it in a salon). That's ok because I like my color! I did notice that with excessive use, my hair was starting to get a bit damaged, both from this and from heat styling, so I've stopped using it EVERY time I wash my hair and only use it on the roots about once every 3 washes. I find that this refreshes the color sufficiently although it does fade a little between applications. My hair is starting to heal and that's most important for me at this time. UPDATE July 2023: I was wrong, my hair continues to lighten! I am SHOCKED when I look back at pics of myself before I started using this and even more shocked that I had the audacity to call that blonde, lmao. I've been using about 10-15 sprays of this stuff on my hair after washing it most times (occasionally I give it a break) and doing purple shampoo and conditioner about once every 4 washes, and my hair keeps getting lighter and lighter. I've never gotten so many compliments on my hair color. People I haven't seen in awhile assume I go to a salon for these results. Somehow it looks natural and dimensional, more like highlights than overall bleach. I absolutely love it.

I use this in between coloring, it allows me to go months by highlighting, beautiful color

Sus efectos dorados le encantan a mi niña

Not only a great hair lightener for light brown/blonde hair, but it is also a very good hair conditioner

This is a great product. It works really well at lightening up dark blonde hair.

The product is good, I order it the second time. Unfortunately, this time one of the bottles wasn’t closed properly, some liquid was in the plastic bag, some evaporated. I am going to return it.

The result is real and really nice. I’ll buy it again.

Muy padre producto para dar un tono soleado al cabello, lo aplicas y se activa con el calor, asi que ya sea si vas a estar en el sol, o con la secadora, te aclara poco a poco de manera natural

No change
