John Frieda hair mousse

John Frieda is a premium hair care brand founded by the British celebrity hairstylist John Frieda in London during the late 1980s. The brand gained international fame for its innovative solutions, such as the Frizz Ease range, which tackled specific hair concerns that were previously overlooked by mainstream salon brands.

Today, the brand is owned by the Kao Corporation, a major Japanese chemical and cosmetics company headquartered in Tokyo. Kao acquired the brand in 2002 to expand its global reach in the professional and premium consumer hair care markets. While the brand has its roots in the United Kingdom, manufacturing is distributed across multiple global locations including the United States, Germany, and Japan to serve various regional markets.
