Craving smooth, silky hair? Drench your strands in this frizz-fighting water

"I noticed an immediate softness"

The product

Between the humidity and our dry and damaged strands, the frizz-factor is real

Trust us when we say we've done just about everything to calm the crazy that is our tresses, but to no avail. That was of course until a brand new innovative frizz-fighting, breakage-banishing product landed on our desks. 

Let us introduce: John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Silk Drench Smoothing Water. The lightweight liquid comes as a post-shampoo, pre-conditioner step in your haircare routine and will have your strands feeling unbelievably silky-soft. And it's all thanks to the innovative lamellar water technology-infused formula. 

But what is lamellar water technology, we can hear you asking. Well, essentially it's a water-activated delivery method that delivers targeted active ingredients across your strands surface and even penetrating deep into the core to work to repair damage. AKA, it's the key to smooth, manageable strands.

The clever strand-drenching water has been infused with rice oil and glycerin to help reduce current (and even future) breakage and damage. Like the name suggests, it's a true haircare miracle. 

We bet you want to see what our REVIEWcrew had to say about the miraculous smoothing water, so, let's find out... 

The panel

BEAUTYcrew sent the John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Silk Drench Smoothing Water to a panel of women aged 25-60 with frizzy hair in need of a treatment. 

The lowdown

The smoothing, frizz-free results: Our REVIEWcrew members were loving how instantly silky, soft and most importantly, frizz-free their strands were. The innovative product utilises the power of lamellar technology — a water-activated delivery system — to refresh, revitalise and smooth damaged strands. 

How easy-to-use it is: Our members loved that the product was not only easy to dose out thanks to the easy-to-use nozzle, but also features a mililiter measure on the side of the bottle. Why is that important we hear you ask? Because when the suggested amount is 10-40mL, it's handy to be able to be able to see how much you're actually using. 

The lightweight formula: You know the products that offer up strand smoothing benefits, but should really read strand-slicking? Yep, you know the ones. This formula is the total opposite. Our members raved about how lightweight the product felt in their hair, with the easy to washout design.

After using John Frieda’s Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Silk Drench Smoothing Water, I can confidently say it delivers on its promise of smoother, frizz-free hair. The product is lightweight and easy to apply. It absorbs quickly into damp hair without leaving any greasy residue. The instructions were simple, and it blended well into my routine. I noticed an immediate softness and smoothness in my hair post-use. My hair felt hydrated yet light, and frizz was significantly reduced, even in humid weather. After a few uses, my hair appeared shinier and healthier. The rice oil and glycerin seem to work well in restoring moisture and strengthening hair fibers.

I loved using this product! As someone who has long, fine hair that's very susceptible looking a bit wild and untamed and I noticed a difference straight away. It left my hair feeling smooth, soft, shiny but not greasy. And most importantly the frizz was significantly reduced when letting it air dry. I always have to dry my hair after washing and found I have a bit of a natural wave which I've only had after getting a keratin treatment and drying naturally. I haven't gotten keratin in years due to it being to expensive but now that I have this smoothing water, I can have similar results for a way better price point and not applying heat! Even when applying in the shower it has a smoothness to it, the smell wasn't overpowering and the suggested 20ml usage means the product will last a while. I cannot recommend this product enough and really happy with my results!

This Frizz Ease Smoothing Water actually works! I'm amazed at how quickly it transforms my hair - literally seconds after applying it in the shower. The silky texture absorbs right in without any sticky residue. My hair feels so much softer and more manageable now. I've tried so many anti-frizz products before and most of them either didn't work or left my hair feeling heavy and greasy. This one's different though. It does exactly what it claims to do without any downsides. What I really love is how easy it is to use - just apply after shampooing, wait a few seconds, and rinse. No complicated routines or extra steps. My morning routine is much smoother now that I don't have to fight with my hair. The bottle size is decent too, so it should last a while even with regular use. If you struggle with frizz like I do, definitely give this John Frieda product a try. It's one of those rare hair products that actually delivers on its promises!
