Conair x John Frieda Collection – CLOSED

I recently underwent some changes in my product assortment and day to day arsenal (I’m not about to call them beauty products. Though that’s pretty much what they are – it’s just no fun to say). While in Vegas I ditched the Conair dryer that I purchased while in Vancouver a year plus ago for the Olympics (that Sears dryer did me good), and by the time I got home I nearly finished all of my favourite John Frieda Volumizing Shampoo. My consolation? The fact that Conair and John Frieda have joined forces to create something sort of brilliant – the first ever styling tools from John Frieda.

Paddle brushes, and John Frieda loose CURLS curling iron (1 1/2 barrel) are the starter items that John Frieda has created in partnership with Conair. I was near delirious when I saw it all bundled together. Having been a volume fiend, I couldn’t help but get overtly excited about this new offering.

Unfortunately I missed the launch because I was away on vacation – realizing that it was at the Shops on Don Mills had me even more antsy (love that place, I’m quite certain I have dreams about it), and seeing the product in person pushed me over the top (when I was already teetering).

Keep your eyes and hairs peeled (actually, skip the hairs – no split ends on my clock) for these products in stores now. Smile!

* Thanks so much to Conair and Rock It Promo for sending them over for review. I distinctly remember a cottage visit where my galpals and I had so much fun testing it all out. You make me experiment..and in turn, more feminine (phew).

    My morning hair routine consists of untangling the rats nest that has formed on the top of my head. Then once that’s done I either flat iron it or use my cheap pharmacy curling iron to give it some curl. I’m sadly lacking in the hair volume department.

    Also, I liked Urbanebloc on FB (under Soph Yee).


  • Brett

    It starts with a frantic scramble, after hitting the snooze button a few times. Followed by checking the clock every 30 seconds because it seems I have no sense of time in the morning. From there, I jump in the shower and throw gel in the hair and than it’s off to another joyful day at work :)


  • Ted Kooper

    i wash and blow dry

  • MissT

    Wash & Condition then let air dry for maybe 15min while I do my make up and then I finish drying my hair and then I straighten it with my flat iron.

  • Suzanne Weller

    I wash my hair and condition it. Because my hair is short and very straight, I do not need to blow dry it


  • Danielle Thomson

    Usually my morning routine isn’t too crazy – if I’m up early enough I’ll straighten. If not, usually a cute braid or ponytail works – I spend more time if I’m going out after work!

  • Joanne A.

    i use flat iron spray on my dry hair , have my curling iron hot and ready and flat iron my hair each day. then i add some luster and shine and it is good for the whole day. as my hair is short, it does not take long each day.


  • Yvonne

  • elaine

    my hair routine is just spritz with detangling lotion, brush and go! it’s usually a mess!! :(

  • My morning routine is simple: wash, dry and go. I usually dry the roots with a blow-dryer and with brush out some knots, but I kinda like the messy look most days. But I’d be willing to get up early for big, loose curls!


  • I like to wash my hair in the evening. Come morning, I give it a once over brush with my boar hair brush and fasten my bangs with a bobby pin.

    wash with jon freida volumizing shampoo and condition. Root spray and a quick blow dry. Now if i had this curling iron i would be giving this straight hair some much needed curl !!!!


  • Cindy Whyte

    I curl my hair everyday with a large curling iron. It smooths and gives more bounce than a straighterner.


  • eleanor q

    depending on my mood, I will use a curling iron to create loose curls or comb and straighten my hair. Thanks, for the chance for winning a new curling iron.


  • Anu

    My morning routine is wash and blow-dry. I will use some anti-frizz serum and that’s it …. out the door!


  • Zvi Vaxman

    my wife would lvoe this


  • Jeannette Laframboise

    My morning hair routine involves washing and drying then…attempting to curl and swearing at my hair, adding more gel, and again trying to curl it while swearing some more….okay so now I sound like there is a lot of swearing in this routine. I think if I won such a great product from Conair, I may just be able to get through the morning with nothing but sweet and pleasant words…Thanks so much for the chance to win!
    I also liked the URBANEBLOC.com Facebook page:-)

  • Crystal Jensen

    Wash, blow dry, flat iron then curl parts for texture. Would love this!!!!!!!


  • diane welburn

    while i have short hair and dont have much to do to it my daughter has long hair that pretty much requires her to use a flat iron in the morning. I think she would just love this to make her hair! She has thick hair so it is hard to find something that would work for her!


  • Maureen

    blow dry and then flat iron


  • I have longer hair, so every morning I get up and put some argan oil at the roots, wrap it up in a towel and jump in the shower. Let the steam permeate the towel and then take the towel off and wash my hair. After, I towel dry and put a heat protector spray on and blow-dry without a brush (except on my bangs). Then depending on my mood, I either flatiron or curl! It’s a long process, but my hair is uber healthy!


  • Elena

    On the morning of my head is going kashmar. Be sure to need in the hair styling hair. Unruly hair and fluffy. Straightener, curling irons, styling. And then I look good.


  • Megan Christie

    Wash, rinse, mousse, blowdry. Think, “not bad!”. 10 min later think, “WTF happened? It deflated!”. Put behind ears.


  • Christina

    Comb, comb, comb, admire, brush, brush, comb, spray.


  • Janine

    My morning routine:

    Brush it, add some curls within an hour they are gone because my hair is too thin and my curling iron way too budget. End up with messy not so hot bed head.


  • amanda

    Bend over, flip hair over forward, brush, shake, flip back.


  • K

    Thanks Urbanebloc team for keeping entries open until March 31! Great for stragglers like me.

    My morning hair routine is as follows:

    1) Wash hair (yes, everyday)
    2) Blowdry hair with some light styling as it dries
    3) If I feel up for it, I use a straightening iron to smooth my hair and curl in the ends of my layers

    I’m growing out a very short bob and I finally have enough length to use a curling iron!


  • Bailey

    Thanks for the giveaway!
    My morning hair routine is wash and either scrunch with mousse to wear it naturally curly, or blow-dry with straightening lotion and a round brush, and then use a flat iron.


  • Tyler O

    I use 3 different kinds of hairspray.. the bigger the hair the better.


  • Claudette Laiviere

    Wash and blow dry..:-)


  • 409cope

    Most days I wash,blow dry and hair spray, if I don’t have time to curl my bangs.


  • 409cope

    I like you on facebook.Shari Dalton


  • Nicole

    my routine is just wake up, brush my hair, and a little bit of straightening, nothing too over the top.


  • Brooky

    First of, I do not wash my hair everyday..so I flip my head upside down, give it a quick few sencconds blow dry to give it some bounce then I carefully use a curling iron (my old one!) and take a few strands to make it look neater! I do have curly hair but the way I sleep, my hair can be very messy so by doing this, I keep it rammed.


  • Lauren

    My morning hair routine: wash and condition, Moroccanoil styling cream, rough blow dry and then finish by blowing dry with a round brush, then smoothing it all out with a straightening iron. I always do straight and it’d be nice to change things up with some curls!


  • Anna

    I wash my hair, blow dry it and then straighten it with my flat iron.


  • John H
