## Description

DescriptionTreat yourself to a new kind of at-home hair colouring experience from the John Frieda Hair Care expert colourists. John Frieda Precision Foam Permanent Hair Colour gives fade-resistant, salon-quality results without the mess of traditional hair colour kits. A thick, rich foam penetrates each strand, saturating hair with deep, lustrous colour and covering greys flawlessly. The formula spreads easily, ensuring that roots and hard-to-reach areas are fully covered, and the white foam means no mess in your sink or bathtub. Once you’ve rinsed out John Frieda Precision Foam Permanent Hair Colour, nourish hair with the included Intense After-Colour Conditioner to lock in colour and protect it from fading. How to Use John Frieda Precision Foam Permanent Hair Colour:Apply to dry hair that has been combed through. Wearing included Salon Professional Gloves, remove the cap from Developer and empty Colourant into Developer bottle. Replace cap on Developer and slowly tilt – do not shake – bottle upside down five times to mix. Replace cap on Developer with Foamer nozzle and click into place. Holding the bottle upright, squeeze the middle of the bottle to distribute foam. Apply a tennis ball-sized amount of foam into gloved hand and apply to hair, starting at the roots of your natural part. Roughly section and apply another tennis ball-sized amount of foam to the next part, repeating as needed. Ensure that head is completely covered with foam, and using fingertips, massage head until the foam becomes frothy in appearance. Leave on hair 20 minutes for all-over colour, and an extra 10 minutes for stubborn greys, thick, or coarse hair. Foam should remain on hair for 30 minutes maximum.Rinse foam with lukewarm water until water runs clear. Squeeze out excess water and massage Intense After-Colour Conditioner into hair until it’s saturated. Leave in for 2-5 minutes and rinse, saving remaining conditioner to use once a week to lock in colour and protect it from fading. Style hair as usual.

So we made it our mission to crack the differences behind exactly what makes blondes brighter, brunettes shine, and frizz an ancient memory. Our products are fueled by an understanding of what makes each individual hair type unique. To help your style meet its perfect match.

Review: 1. Easy, Mess-Free Application The foam texture is a game-changer — no dripping, no running dye, no mess. Many users point out how simple it is to apply evenly. ￼ 2. Excellent Grey Coverage & True Color It covers grey hair well, and delivers color that’s close to what the box promises. Users with medium natural brown and various brunette shades say the result is rich, even, and vibrant. ￼ 3. Soft, Shiny Hair After Coloring Unlike many box dyes that leave hair feeling dry or straw-like, this one tends to leave hair feeling smoother and healthier. There’s more gloss and less damage (as long as after-care is followed). ￼ 4. Value for Money Users feel they get good mileage — one box often is enough even for shoulder-length hair, and the foam spreads well. Also, bonus: the included conditioner helps maintain softness after coloring. ￼ 5. Pleasant Scent + Lower Irritation Many say that compared to other dyes, the smell is milder, and it’s less harsh on the scalp.

*by M***E on 24 January 2026*

I’ve never dyed my hair before but found this process to be really easy. I dyed it twice Because I messed up the first time but I had the deep cherry and I don’t see too much of a difference until I’m in the sunlight then it’s like bam red which I like. I’ve gotten some compliments on it too. It smells Nasty but the directions are straight forward. Oh it covered some grays I had, I would buy again
