John Frieda Precision Foam Hair Color

John Frieda Precision Foam Hair Color ($12) Precision Foam Color is the first ever premium permanent home hair color that uses foam technology to deliver salon-quality results at home. With 20 flattering shades to choose from, achieving flawless, natural-looking results at home has never been quicker or easier. Simply massage the foam into your hair to achieve flawless coverage you thought you could only get at a salon. No drips, no stains – just gorgeous-looking hair from every angle.

This was the best experience in dying my hair on my own ever. There was no mess and stains to clean up around the bathroom counter and floor because the foam didn’t move. So thrilled with this product I want to use foam hair color all the time now. You mix the hair color just like you would normally and what makes the solution foam is the special cap/nozzle provided. All you need to do is squeeze the middle of the bottle and the foam dispenses. At first it may seem like you will not have a enough color and that the foam disappears into you hair, however, when your hair starts to become saturated the foam will be visible. Massage in the foam and after 20 minutes you are set to rinse your hair.

Tips During Colouring
  • Always use as much foam as you can
  • For short hair, use at least 2/3 of the bottle
  • For shoulder length to long hair, use the entire bottle
  • Carefully massage foam through the hair with your fingertips
  • Be gentle to prevent hair from tangling
Recommendation: Love the new foam technology!! Makes color hair so fast and easy and mess free you won’t want to use liquid ones anymore. I wonder if I use regular hair color and use the special bottle if it the color will foam as well.

Effortless Extensions For Quick Temporary Long Hair

Effortless Extensions ($70) is a new and revolutionary way to have long hair in a matter of seconds.  Whether you are looking for added length or added volume these extensions are the perfect way to achieve a celebrity kind of look. Effortless Extensions are available in both Human and Synthetic hair, in styles and colors to compliment every woman. Effortless Extensions offers you the ability to add length, and volume, without damaging your hair.

The synthetic hair can be treated the same as you do you own hair, it should be washed and conditioned using your own brand of shampoo and conditioner. Wash in warm water, with a small amount of shampoo, to not scrub, or twist hair, rinse thoroughly. Using a small amount of conditioner, comb through hair, starting at the ends working up, with a wide tooth comb, wait for 3 to 4 minutes before rinsing. Pat dry with a towel, do not twist or wring, let air dry or use a blow dryer. When styling you can use a curling iron, flat iron, and crimper. Heat settings should be set on High for flatiron, and medium to high for curling etc. Always use a light spray of water on dry hair before styling.

Effortless Extensions Application:

  1. Making sure the clear monofilament line, is on top and the wefts are on the bottom, place the Effortless Extensions on top of your head, above your ears, so that the wefts sit behind your ears.
  2. Using your fingers, pull the hair on the sides of your head, in front of your ears and behind, then around the back of your head, out and around the monofilament and hair extensions.  Keep in mind, that the less hair you pull over your extensions, the better they look, and lay.  You are looking to sandwich the extensions between your hair beneath, and over. Pull about a ¼ of your hair over.
  3. Using your fingers you will pull your hair on the top and sides of your head around and over the clear string, designed to disappear into your hair line.
  4. Comb and blend with your own hair
Recommendation: The hair extension stays in place really well. You don’t really notice it at all except for the fact that your head feels a little heavier with the extra hair. The clear string is easy to cover up with you hair and isn’t very noticeable at all. If you are concerned about the string showing that can be easily fixed with a headband. The piece I received matches my hair color very well and depending on the length and cut of your hair you would probably need to curl your hair and the extension for a more natural look. As for updos and tying your hair up I personally think it would be a little difficult with getting the extension to remain on your head as you tie your hair. For me these extensions are ideal for when wearing your hair down. I really like the convenience of the extensions and may wear it more often if my hair was shorter. Too bad Effortless Extensions doesn’t offer a longer length.
 

The brush supplied with the extension is not like most brushes. It has loops to prevent damage and removal of the hair. Gentle strokes through the hair will make it look soft and clean. You do not need to use very much effort to brush through the hair. Some strands of hair may come off onto your brush so to extend the life of the extension brush slowly and carefully. Effortless Extensions also sells a travel case ($15) to keep your extension in and I would highly recommend purchasing that to keep the extension in good condition.

With my order I received 4 TIGI hair products for free, a $70 value by using a promo code in their emails. There was also a special going on in the month of April that would give you $20 credit for you first purchase of $45 or more on Bloom Circle. I got all these all these products for $100 but worth $190! Bloom Circle seems to have special free offers weekly so if you’re able to hold off making a purchase until you find a good free promo gift you should.

I got my products pretty quickly and everything was packaged nicely except there was a minor leak from TIGI Creative Genius from the loose cap but luckily nothing spilled in the box. There were a couple of products that were backordered but was shipped within 1-2 days of notice. After my purchase I was also given an opportunity to earn $20 in Bloom dollars by writing product reviews for my purchased products however there is a time deadline of 2 weeks for reviews which I unfortunately forgot to do so missed out. This is no Sephora but Bloom Circle does offer lots of great brands including some that is not commonly available online like Obagi skincare products. With the growing  popularity of Bloom Circle I am sure there will be more great brands to come! I will definitely make more purchases from this site! Looking forward to when they will have my favorite big brands like NARS, Urban Decay, and Dior. Go check out Bloom Circle!

By the way, my favorite product from this purchase is the Peter Thomas Roth Uber-Dry Sunscreen! It does feel dry and not sticky on your face. My favorite new sunscreen! I have tried other sunscreens and didn’t like how it felt on my face so I would buy tinted moisturizers but still felt that it did not give me enough protection. Now I don’t need to worry so much about being out in the sun especially with this super hot weather in California.
