Have a Frizz-Free Holiday Weekend with John Frieda‏

Hey everyone! 

The AccuWeather report has the rest of May looking very unpredictable. Between the temperature changes and unexpected rain showers turned sunny skies, it’s difficult to know how your hair will react. Whether you’re planning on getting away for Memorial Day or are sticking around for a mini stay-cation, John Frieda Hair Care has you covered this weekend. 

Step 1: Start your day with John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner. With an exclusive Frizz-Mending Complex + natural olive oil, it smoothes strands, hydrates, and restores hair’s natural defense against frizz. 

Step 2: On damp hair apply the Frizz-Ease Serum that’s perfect for you. If you have thick hair, try the Extra Strength Formula; the Original Formula for medium hair; and for fine hair, the NEW Sheer Solution. 

Step 3: Finish your look with a dab of Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Crème. Not only does it transform puffy, parched hair into smooth, shiny strands, but it also contains a UV filter to protect from sun damage. Plus it replaces natural oils that are lost from blow drying and daily styling. 

Bonus Tip: If you’re leaving for the weekend and don’t want to worry about your hair at all, try Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight Semi-Permanent Styling Spray. This heat-activated spray blocks out frizz as you straighten your hair, and stays that way for up to 3 days. This means you can flat iron your hair tonight and be worry-free until Monday morning!
