John Frieda Beach Blonde Smooth Seas Detangling Conditioner


John, I’m sorry about our past
issues I wanted to apologize, and let you know how much I adore all of your
hair conditioners. They have always done exactly as you promised. This is why I added the Beach Blonde Smooth Seas Detangling Conditioner to my already over sized line of your products.

You wrote on this bottle of 10oz worth of conditioner that this minty cool detangler would unsnarl surf side snags for smooth, and easy combing. Moisture-rich seaweed extracts and sunflower oil would quench sun-dried hair and that soothing aloe calms and conditions.

Sounded pretty neat, so John, I tried it. I assumed the seaweed extracts was why you labeled it with such a unique name. I was ready to put another one of your products to the test.

You tell me that it’s applied just like any ordinary conditioner, (use more or less depending on the length an thickness of your hair.) You first wash your hair with shampoo. –And you recommended washing my hair with your beach blonde smooth seas shampoo; however I find this to be unnecessary John, and also expensive, seeing how the conditioner alone cost about $7.50. Any shampoo will do fine, so really you can stop telling people that. Okay?!

You then tell me to let the conditioner set in my hair for 3 to 4 minutes, and rinse out, easy enough, same as every conditioner really. Do you really have to add that to the bottle? Just kidding!

So I squeezed some out and rubbed it into my hair evenly. The conditioner itself is not green like the bottle; it’s actually white, and very rich and creamy.
I was amazed at how it tingled my scalp the moment I began to rub it throughout my hair. It is sort of similar to brushing your teeth, that minty cool refreshing feeling, only for your head. It was definitely an experience my scalp had never gone through before.
The conditioner also has a nice pleasant mild scent. Sort of like a sea breeze scent mixed with some mint. I could see someone either loving or hating the scent. However you will smell no traces of it after your hair is dried so it’s really not that big of a deal. I like this John, because a lot of your products have this nasty chemically smell. You may want to work on that.

However John, the smooth seas conditioner is really great at cooling you off on a hot summer day, so I will forgive you for your other stinky products. I wish everyone would give your Beach Blond Smooth Seas Detangling Conditioner a try. They really won’t be disappointed.

This is also a great conditioner to use after you’ve been swimming all day at the ocean. Its sort of what it was designed for right John?

I’m going to now move on and tell you how it worked for me.
I was promised snag free hair, and I got just that, after my shower I was able to run a comb through my hair without any problems at all. Thank you!
I was also promised that if I used this, my hair would have less frizz. I was not lied to. I did have fewer frizzes, and not only that but my hair was also extremely smoother. Thank you twice!

I am very happy with my purchase John. With about a month of daily use I was able to see a difference in my hair. The ends weren’t as dry and brittle as they once were. Thank you three times!

However John now that I have finished thanking you, I figured I might as well vent to you a little bit about the prices of your products. I mean they range from $7 plus. They’re a little expensive. So if you want people to buy both the shampoo and conditioner, you may want to consider lowering the prices, or heck, maybe throw in a few coupons into the Sunday newspaper every now and then. I mean really!

Not only that John but also this product only seems to be available at higher end stores. You may want to branch out a little bit and stock Wal-Mart up with these babies more often!

Also John you write on the bottle that it is for blonde's, I have to disagree. My mother who is a brunette also uses this and she loves it as well. You may want to let people know that it doesn’t matter what color hair they have, they too can use this particular conditioner. You may as well just delete the blond out of the name, and call it John Frieda’s Beach Smooth Seas Detangling Conditioner. What do you think?

I guess that seems to be the only issues I have with this product in particular. Other than that it’s excellent, I know I have already said this, but thanks for making such a great product. Just so you know, I’m also going to let all of my friends and family know how great this conditioner is.

I am also going to recommend your high beam glosser to everyone as well.

Bath and Body Works Signature Collection Moisturizing Conditioner Pink Grapefruit


Ahhh, summer is right around the corner, I can feel it in the air, I can feel it all around, and most of all I can feel it in my hair. I can smell it too.

Yeah, try not to get too jealous of me. I smell so good sometimes even I can’t resist myself. Hah!

But anyways, on a more serious note, Bath & Body Works has become a passion for me; there is nothing more I look forward to than to come home and soak in my tub after a day at work.

What’s waiting for me?
Tons of things actually, bath bombs, shower gels, and bath salts, the whole nine.
But while my body gets the works, my hair thirsts for treatment too.

I have thick hair, and occasionally thick wavy hair screams out for some moisture. My hair gets dry easily, and before meeting up with Bath & Body Works moisturizing conditioners I had been on a never-ending quest in trying out and hating hair products.

The signature collection has come to the rescue. I initially fell in love with the signature collection shampoos and conditioners one sweet day when I decided to buy 2 of them on a whim. A shampoo and a conditioner both of them were coconut lime verbena. The rest is history.

However my nostrils got bored with this scent. I wanted to try something new. Pink Grapefruit was the last scent on earth I would think I’d like.
With a 2 for $10 sale, I figured I might as well stock up in everything available. This is why Pink Grapefruit came home with me.

MY EXPERIENCE:

In the shower I first used Pink Grapefruit moisturizing shampoo. I always like the tag team, even though it’s not necessary.

Next the conditioner, it smells exactly like the shampoo. Delicious. I’m not even exaggerating when I say this conditioner smells just like someone magically transformed an actual pink grapefruit into a creamy white conditioner, and bottled it up. It’s really a genuine scent, and true to its name.

When I first squeezed some of the conditioner out of the easy to use click up cap I knew that this stuff was going to be good. It was creamy and luscious, and just nice feeling on my hand. Shoot it wasn’t even in m hair yet and I could tell it was going to do wonders.

Usually after I shampoo with anything, my hair is dry feeling and unmanageable, but with 2 quarter sized swoops of this in my hair; my hair suddenly began to untangled and become manageable again.

I let it sit in my hair for a good 3 minutes while I washed my body with some LUSH.


After washing it out of my hair I could immediately feel how soft and manageable my hair had become.

But I had to wait for it to dry to really get the full picture of how wonderful this conditioner was.

So time goes by… so slowly…and my hair begins to dry. I have my usual frizzes (it comes with the package for being born with a thick hair- dang genetics!), but I could truly see and feel a difference in my hair. It felt like it had gotten a nice long moisturizing treatment, when really it was only in my hair for 3 minutes.

After my hair completely dried, I was hooked. I am forever a signature collections conditioner client.

What was the best for me though was not the look or feel of my hair, but the scent that lingered in my hair for almost 2 days was wonderful. Summer surrounds me even on gloomy days. I’m in hair bliss; I am the hair God… envy me.

WHERE’S IT AT?

You can purchase this 12 ounce bottle at any Bath & Body Works store or online at www.bathandbodyworks.com for $7.50. However there seems to be a never-ending 2 for $10 sale going on with these bad boys. Get em’ while you can!

WHAT BATH & BODY WORKS SAYS:

Experience the tantalizing fragrance of ripe pink grapefruit plucked from the tree.
Domestic.

-For dry, damaged or color-treated hair (Yes, yes, that’s me!)
-Maximize your pampering experience with this superior moisturizing conditioner, available in our most popular Signature Collection scents (I wouldn’t call it “most” popular)
-Nourishing, pH-balanced formula seals moisture into each strand (Oh my!)
-Helps protect dry, color-treated or damaged hair against future damage (Yes it does)
-Leaves hair smoother and shinier (I can agree with that!)

OVERALL SATISFACTION:

Hmm this is tough…No its not!

Overall satisfaction would be a freakin’ 100%.

There honestly is not a bad thing I could say about this one, except that maybe the price is a bit much. But when you are getting salon like effects, the price is actually a steal if you think about it.

RECOMMENDATION:

Bath & Body Works Signature Collection Moisturizing Conditioner-Pink Grapefruit is great for anyone. I’m not a fan of grapefruit and I love it. The scent is subtle yet detectable by those you walk by. It leaves hair soft, manageable, shiny and moisturized.
That’s pretty much all I ever ask for out of a conditioner. Then they go and throw in that lovely scent… a 100% "yes" recommendation from me.
