Go Blonder Lightening Spray

Review: I’ve been using the John Frieda Go Blonder Lightening Spray consistently, and overall I really liked the results. It definitely does what it claims — my hair gradually became lighter and brighter rather than patchy or brassy, which I appreciated. The change isn’t instant, but with regular use it’s noticeable and looks natural. That said, I did find myself using more product than expected to get the results I wanted. I have medium-length hair, and it took fairly generous application over multiple uses to see a clear difference, so the bottle didn’t last as long as I hoped. What I liked: • Gradual, natural-looking lightening • Easy to apply and control where it goes • Didn’t damage or dry out my hair when used as directed Things to note: • You may need to use more product for visible results • Bottle can run out quickly with frequent use Overall, this is a solid option if you want subtle, controlled lightening without committing to dye. Just be aware you might go through the bottle faster than expected depending on your hair length and how light you want to go. I’d still recommend it, especially for gradual results. Ive used a couple bottles of this stuff and will definitely keep ordering in the future.

This product really lightens your hair. If you're looking to add highlights to your hair, this product works well.

I recently dyed my hair platinum blonde but my roots have started to grow in already. I bought the Go Lightening Spray to prolong my hair before I go have to visit the stylist again to dye my roots. The spray works with heat to lighten your hair so you can either spray then style or spray then go out in the sun. Either works fine and it does as intended. My hair wasn’t brittle after either.

I am brunette. Not all the way brown/black, but pretty dark brown. I don’t use as directed (obviously lol). I spray on the ends of dry hair ‘til it’s soaked, run it through with my hands, brush it, and then let it dry when I go for outside or on a run. My hair has reddish undertones, so the spray just makes that pop more. My hair is now a rusty or copper brown ombre after 2 uses, which I really like and hope to lighten even more with more uses. I do have an old bleached strip in my hair, and the product makes that lighter but also seems to spread the bleach a little bit ?? (I could be tripping) It does dry your hair out and damage a bit, even without blow dry or flat iron heat. So I do oil treatments on my ends once a week to help. But it doesn’t make my hair brassy and wiry, and it doesn’t completely fry me either. Just a little damage, as with any lightening procedure or solution. Good product.

I've accumulated many white hairs, but I will not subject myself to the hassle, inconvenience and expense of the traditional hair dying process. My natural color is a dark brown, and when I came across this product, I thought it would be a relatively easy way of decreasing the glaring contrast between the white hair and the dark majority that hadn't turned white, by lightening my entire head of hair. It more or less worked, after taking at least a couple months before it reached the color that it would remain for the rest of the time I was using the product. My hair lightened to an auburn color, as shown in the before & after photos I've included. (Sorry for the lackluster image quality. They weren't taken with the same phone or in the same room under identical lighting conditions.) At first, I was using the spray every time I washed my hair. And I would use at least a dozen spritzes each time. However, after the first few of months of using it that often, I started needing to use it only every couple of weeks or so, and focusing mostly on the roots, in order to maintain a consistent look. I would suggest taking special care to make sure that you're getting it evenly applied to the backside of the scalp/the parts of the hair that can't easily be seen in one's reflection. I didn't realize at first that I wasn't quite getting the same results in back that I was getting in front/on top, where it's longer and easy to see in the mirror. As mentioned by some other reviewers, the product does have a bit of a burning sensation on the skin, although I wasn't that sensitive to it and didn't find it to be a deterrent. I was getting a bottle of this through Subscribe & Save every few months or so for over a year or two. During that time, they changed the fragrance from a floral scent to a fruity, tropical scent. But both versions had a noticeable vinegar-like "undernote" that I found unpleasant, although it doesn't seem to stick around long after dry-down. The reason I'm no longer using this is because I recently discovered and switched to a shampoo that works as a hair dye, which I can simply use in the shower once every couple of weeks. It lends an even darker color than my natural one and does a decent job of covering my whites; I'm now subscribed to that instead. But I would recommend this product for those who are interested in lightening their hair. EDIT (April 2026): I stopped using the dye shampoo after a few months because it was making me lose hair. Then I relented and started doing the typical dye kit thing instead, but got tired of that after about a year for the reasons mentioned at the beginning of this review. So now I'm going back to this again. Now that I've re-subscribed, I see that they have again changed the packaging and the formula. The product no longer has as much of a vinegar-like stench now. So that's good. On the other hand, it seems to burn a little more now than I remember it doing before, which isn't great. It's still not really a serious issue for me, though. Something I neglected to mention in my original review is that I used this in combination with the "go blonder" shampoo, which I intended to help "blondify" my white hairs while also using the spray to lighten the others. And although I can't say for certain because the difference probably wasn't greatly perceptible, I think it was helping to do that.

I know this is a good product because ove used it before but won’t spray this time….It won’t spray..tried many times…but the hole is closed in the sprout ..tried putting needle in to open hole…nada..normally 5 stars…SOS PLEASE

I love this! My natural hair color is dull mousy blonde. This product just brightens it slightly and gives my otherwise fine hair a volume boost. I use purple shampoo and conditioner to tone down any brassiness. In all I love this and I have not had my hair professionally colored for over a year, almost 18 months. 👌

I’ve been using the John Frieda Go Blonder Lightening Spray for a while now, and I have to say, it really works! I wanted to lighten my hair gradually without damaging it too much, and this spray does exactly that. What I Love: ✅ Gradual, Natural-Looking Lightening – It doesn’t bleach your hair instantly, but with a few uses, you start seeing a noticeable difference. My hair looks brighter and sun-kissed instead of brassy or artificial. ✅ Easy to Use – Just spray it on damp hair, focus on the areas you want to lighten, and use heat (a blow dryer or sun exposure) to activate it. No mixing, no mess. ✅ No Harsh Bleach Smell – It smells way better than traditional hair bleach, which is a huge plus. ✅ Doesn’t Make My Hair Feel Too Dry – Some lighteners leave hair straw-like, but this one has hydrogen peroxide without feeling too damaging. I still use conditioner just to be safe, though. What Could Be Better: ❌ Not for Dark Hair – This works best for blonde or light brown hair. If you have darker hair, it might not work as well or could leave brassiness. ❌ Needs Heat to Work – You have to blow dry or be in the sun for it to lighten, so it’s not an instant, leave-in solution. ❌ Can Cause Dryness with Overuse – Like any lightener, if you use it too often without deep conditioning, your hair might feel a bit dry. Final Thoughts: Overall, this is a great product for gradual, controlled lightening, especially for people who want a natural sun-kissed look without committing to bleach. I’ve purchased it multiple times and will keep using it! Highly recommend for blondes or those looking for subtle highlights.

I’ve been using this spray for around four months. First I was using without a hair dryer, just was applying and going outside for a sunbathing for a while. The results was there but slightly. Then I took a gap around few weeks and then started using this spray with hair dryer+sun both for around 15-30 min. The result was better and faster but it won’t bleach your hair as an arctic white. I was using just a spray, without any bleaching shampoo or conditioner. My hair colour is natural and hair didn’t become too much dry, a little bit only. Pic is before I stared to use it and after 4 months.

Muy buen producto, facil de aplicar y con resultados inmediatos! Ya sea en el sol o con la secadora caliente, el cabello se aclara rápido. Mi color natural es rubio cenizo, y este producto le da un tono mas dorado, mientras mas lo usas, mas aclara.

Good!!

حلو ويفتح شي بسيط خلاص اسبوع بدا التفتيح يبان بس انصح عدم ملامسة جلد الوجه أو اليد

I use the product for my hair to give it a nice summer blonde look.
