## Description

Look no further for flawless color! Unlike traditional color, Precision Foam hair dye has an amazing non-drip (no mess!) application that prevents messy drips and unwanted patches. It is a fade-resistant, salon-quality hair color that also gives 100% grey coverage. 4R is a dark brown shade with red tones that gives you deep color saturation and vibrant results. For optimal results, use this hair color on light brown to black hair. On mostly grey hair, the color will appear lighter than the hair color shown on the results swatch. On red hair, your color results will be dark reddish brown. John Frieda Precision Foam hair color is a gradual hair color foam with a non-drip foam formula that penetrates your strands for deep color saturation and spreads easily into roots and hard-to-reach areas. Our salon-quality, thick foam hair color goes on white to prevent residue and dripping while maximizing penetration and color traction in your brown hair. The thick, saturating hair foam helps lock in a rich, salon-quality color with 100% grey coverage. Use our nourishing after-color conditioner to seal in your color for long-lasting, tonal richness with minimal post-coloring mess. Plus, our formula is paraben free, cruelty free and vegan friendly. This hair coloring kit includes everything you need for fast and easy coloring, including colorant, developer, after-color conditioner, foamer, gloves and easy to read instructions.

Review: I love this hair colour. It covers all my grays! The foam is much easier to apply than the other brands.
Review: Me gustó mucho, aunque es un tono más oscuro que rojo, cubre bien las canas, queda un color parejo, no maltrata, pero lo malo es que subio mucho de precio, más del doble

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have medium brown hair with soft blonde highlights, but also greys.  can i use a medium blonde to cover my greys and not darken my highlights?**
A: It will darken your highlights initially, although they will fade with washing. People think I have highlights because of the way this turns the greys blonde but they stay lighter than the non-grey hair. I hope that helps.

**Q: Is this product ammonia free like other brands for example revlon? If not, does it cause more greys after one use?**
A: No. And No.

**Q: Can anyone tell me the difference between dark red brown 4r vs deep cherry brown 3vr?**
A: Levels in hair color are 10=lightest blonde 0=black 3-4 level would be very dark but not quite black. V=Violet R=red

3vr is a darker violet red tinted brown base and 4 is a shade lighter with a red tinted brown base.

**Q: Is this color dark in no lighting and sun?**
A: Yes.  Keep in mind that red hair looks dark in no lighting or Sun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***A on 31 January 2019*

I am a Natural Redhead but since I was a teenager, I've preferred my hair a shade or 2 darker than my natural hair color. So, I started dying it. For years, I used the color Ruby Fusion by Loreal, but as I became older (will be 40 in a couple months), I noticed this color is a bit too dark now, looking a tad harsh. So this was the painful start of my search for my new perfect shade of Red. I've tried about 4 different shades from different brands but every time I was disappointed which was hard b/c I had to go at least 2 months with a hair color I wasn't happy with. I accidentally stumbled across this foam dye which is what originally caught my interest.. It was the first time I've seen a foam permanent dye. The second thing to grab my attention was that it is A John Frieda product and I love and trust this brand's products. I use many of their hair styling products and treatments for fine, thin hair. So, I perused the colors and decided to try the Radiant Red. 1st let me talk about the dye itself. I read the directions carefully (I highly suggest you do the same if this is new to you). They were simple to follow, the biggest adjustment was dispensing the dye into my hand versus directly to my scalp but the foam application was effective, a bit quicker than the traditional dyes, and I was able to compeletely saturate my hair in half the normal time. Do be sure to immediately wipe away any dye you may have gotten on the skin around your hairline b/c it will slightly stain. And I can't forget to mention how this method was mess free... No dripping or errant steaks of due found afterwards on the Bathroom floor or sink. I left it on for 25 min then entered the shower where I thoroughly rinsed and applied the conditioner that is included in the box (I was impressed by the size of the bottle compared to the tiny ones in most brands) it is suggested you continue to use this conditioner once a week after dying. So, nothing left to do now but to reveal the final results. I was a bit impatient so after towel drying, I used the blow dryer and what I saw was almost to good to be true. It was literally the result I've been trying to achieve. I was a little nervous though b/c in my experience, the color tends to lighten with the first couple washes. Well, I've washed my hair 3 times since and the color is just as deep and vibrant as it was the night I did it. I am absolutely in love and I pray that this she and particular color remain available for A LONG time b/c after finding my perfect match the last thing I want to do is go through an the hassle and disappointment I did before now. Also, after falling in love with the John Frieda Clear Glazing Treatment, I also purchased the glaze in the color Red in hopes it will extend the time between coloring my hair by keeping the red in my hair vibrant and refreshed along with the other benefits from the glaze. I have high hopes for it judging from my experiencing with this line of products thus far. So in short... This is now my go to hair dye without question and would recommend it to anyone if they find it in a color suitable for them.
