Frizz-Ease Sheer Solution Lightweight Frizz Control - Product Review

NEW Frizz-Ease® Sheer Solution™ Lightweight Frizz Control For Fine to Medium Hair - Product Review

I have a love/hate relationship with my hair! Really! When it looks good, I love it and when it looks bad I hate it! Bad Hair for me means extreme frizz resulting in really big fluff hair! So, when Bzzagent invited me to their new bzzcampaign for John Frieda's® New Frizz-Ease® Sheer Solution™ Lightweight Frizz Control For Fine to Medium Hair, I was super excited (though still quite skeptical) to join the campaign so that I could try the product for free!  

So, What was in my Bzzkit? 

My kit included: a "Bzzguide" which was filled with helpful information and tips about the product, 1 full retail sized 2 fl. oz. bottle of the product and 8 sammple sized .43 fl. oz. bottles to give to friends - because sharing is always nice!



And this is what the company claims the product can do:

Lightweight frizz solution fights frizz without weighing hair down, leaving hair light and manageable whether you style straight, wavy, or curly.
Shake-to-activate dual formula—part lightweight serum, part smoothing elixir—fights frizz from the outside while hydrating hair from the inside, leaving hair frizz-free.
Lightweight, non-greasy solution spreads easily throughout hair for even coverage and flawless frizz control.
Leaves hair manageable, to make it easier to achieve desired style.


 My hair not styled - just brushed and air dried:

Um Yeah, so this is just a frizzy fluffy mess!


My hair styled curly with Frizz-Ease® Sheer Solution™:


The Frizz-Ease® Sheer Solution™  bottle says that you only need a few drops to smooth through hair but to achieve this style (which is not the best defined curls I have had) I had to use at least 30 to 40 drops. I don't think that's a bad thing though because it still doesn't amount to that much product; at least in my opinion. 
But, as you can see I still have a little frizz to my curls. I do like the fluffiness and the curl definition but I think I have other products that achieve a much pretty defined curly hairstyle. Next up straight hair...


My hair styled straight with Frizz-Ease® Sheer Solution™:


 So, once again, the Frizz-Ease® Sheer Solution™ bottle said to use a few drops but again I used more than the recommended amount. I first wanted to see how my hair looked using the product and just doing a blow-out. But that resulted in my usual puffy hair so, as usually I had to use a flat-iron after the blow out to get my hair smoother.

As you can see, I wasn't able to get my hair that smooth. To be quite honest, I usually get my hair much smoother using a different product. So, I am sure you can understand my disappointment considering this product's claims.

Final thoughts: The Frizz-Ease® Sheer Solution™ does seem to cut out some frizz but if your hair is prone to extreme frizz like mine, then I would not recommend this it for your hair. This product definitely worked better on curly styles than straight although, still didn't achieve the best results. I would give this 3 out of 5 Stars!

Making Money While having Fun From Your Computer


Money just doesn't grow on trees! Being a stay at home mom, I am always looking for little ways to cut costs or add a little to the family coffers. One of the things I do and have had some success with is on-line surveys and word-of-mouth programs. These are great ways to earn a little cash and get to sample products way before they're released to the public.
Below I will detail 3 sites which I find to be the most rewarding. By rewarding I mean that they're fun, easy and yes they do reward me for my efforts.

Crowdtap (http://crowdtap.com/invitations/4d87c74438d4137995000024)
Crowdtap is a revolutionary social marketing and research platform that enables you to be rewarded for ideating and promoting with leading brands, entertainment properties, non-profits and startups. Earn cash rewards for yourself and charity for taking surveys, sampling new products and promoting your favorite brands. You simple login with your facebook account (there is no other way) and begin by answering quickhits - quick easy questions. You earn points and sometimes money for answering these. They also have opportunities to Sample & Share products as well as host product parties. For instance, right now I am doing a Sample & Share for Playtex Sport Cleansing Wipes.

EXPO (www.expotv.com/raf/mrstrod)
Expo is an online video community of consumers who share their unbiased, honest reviews and opinions through various word of mouth programs with their peers and brands. You simply make a short video review of a product (many of which you already have and use) and then upload it. In return, they award you points which you can use to shop a wide selection of great gifts or even cash in for Amazon.com gift cards.In addition, through their Tryology program you can receive free products to review and earn points for. And you can also do surveys through their Outlook Panel.

BzzAgent (www.bzzagent.com )
As a BzzAgent, you join a Bzzcampaign to try new products and services from some of the biggest companies around. Share your honest opinions through reviews, Facebook posts, video testimonials, face-to-face, blog posts…however you want. As part of the campaign, you'll get free product samples to try yourself, help friends discover cool stuff by sharing your opinion & influence the brand with your feedback
. You'll also earn points through Mypoints.com which can be cashed in for gift cards.

In my next post I'll tell you about some great survey sites where you can earn cash & gift cards. Don't forget to follow my blog to get my latest tips. And as always feel free to leave your comments or questions below!
