Sleek and "Greasy" Anti Frizz serum

I have thick wavy hair and I love a good hair product that can control the frizz without making it obvious that I have a ton of product in my hair. Over the years I have tried to appreciate this serum but it really doesn't work for me. When I think "sleek and shine" it evokes images of primped healthy hair not something that stumbled out of an oil slick.

The packaging is functional and has the signature green color of the Garnier brand. I love the fragrance which packs a solid citrus perfume-like punch but it's not enough to save this product from being an epic fail. When you pump out the product you need to be gentle to avoid dispensing too much. The serum has a smooth consistency that leaves behind a thin film on your hands; it's not overly sticky but you'll need to wash your hands afterwards.

I really like that the product moves very easily throughout my hair however I found that even a small pump leaves my hair looking greasy. Don't get me wrong the serum does control frizz and flyaways but it's at the expense of greasy looking hair which I hate. You put all this effort into straightening your hair only to douse it in oil? No thanks.

I wonder if this product is suppose to be used for those slicked back hairdos and if that's the case then yes this product is a 10/10 but it would still look greasy in my opinion. Funnily enough my sister who has thick curly hair really likes this product. She feels it makes her hair look naturally straight and appear healthy. We've agreed to disagree :-) Definitely not repurchasing this but will still see it around when my sister visits.

Garnier Sleek & Shine Anti Friz

I brought this product to help with my fluffy, fuzzy hair when straightening. It when on fine but was quite greasy and you have to becareful not to use too much. During the course of the day my hair poofed up again and the smooth look didnt last through. I have stopped using it for that reason.

Tame that frizz

I loved the smell!! I do think it tamed my frizz too. I found I had to apply quite a bit before I straightened my hair...my hair use to be down to my butt. Now that my hair is short I don't need to use as much. Once I had finished with the straightener I would squirt a little bit more of the product in the palm of my hand and flatten down any fly aways. This helped a lot but by mid to late after noon the fly aways were back! I have purchased this product twice now but am willing to try other brands of fizz taming serums.

Super Shiny Hair!

I used to use it a lot in my teen years and recently repurchased after not using it for the last 5 years as the brand is now cruelty free! The formula is still as liquidy as I remembered but soaked into my hair really well as I have dry/frizzy hair. The scent is still the same which is very nostalgic. The finished product looked shiny and healthy.

As I have used a few different hair oils/serum in the last 10+ years, this still ranks pretty good on performance, price and availability to purchase. Is it my number must use hair product, no. Would I repurchase again in future, yes.

Tips: A little goes a long way.

Smelling like Apricots

Garnier Sleek & Shine smells amazing in your hair. I use it on occasion but their are other products I prefer first & foremost. If you apply too much product you are only going to look like you have greasy, unwashed hair. The product has changed since it was first introduced a number of years ago. I find that it can leave you with not only a greasy looking finish but also what I call straw like hair (which I personally don't like). A little goes along way & can help to tame unruly wild curly hair such as my own. The bottle size is smaller now than original.

Tips: Use sparingly & would recommend use on dry hair to help tame rather than wet or you will end with hair feeling like straw.

i use this everytime i shower.

I have curly hair so frizz tends to be a problem for me, i also like to colour my hair often and my hair is still very healthy. This anti-frizz serum is my favorite, it keeps my curls tamed and my hair doesnt get as easily tangled anymore. I used to honestly hate my hair but this product makes keeping it tidy alot easier. My hair is softer, healthy and shiny.

Soft but Greasy Hair

I used Garnier Sleek and Shine Anti Frizz Serum for my extremely frizzy hair sometime back and it actually tames frizz and makes hair soft but I just don't like the greasy hair after applying it. I also tried using a pea sized amount but still the result is same.

Tips: I now try to tame my hair using good quality shampoos and conditioner and sometimes a treatment is good too.

Greasy

I have purchased this product in the past and am no fan of it what-so-ever.

This product is very affordable, and has a great scent; but didn't do what it said it would on the label.

I applied this through mid-length to tip, and it just stuck my hair together and made my hair look "ratty" and uncared for. Basically made my hair look dirty.

Do not recommend to people who have fine strands of hair

Greasy mess

I have very long hair and sometimes it can turn into a frizzy mess. I am always on the lookout for products that will help so I grabbed this on grocery day when I saw it on special.

It comes in an attractive looking bottle with a handy pump, it is quite a thin consistency and has a fruity smell which I like. I like to use this on wet hair before I blowdry and straighten. You have to be so careful as it can turn your hair into a greasy mess! You literally only need the tiniest amount.

I do a pump into my hands then rub them together then distribute throughout my hair. Use too much and it is an oil slick but use the perfect amount and it leaves my hair feeling soft and frizz free.

I have used on dry hair and for me it is a no no. It made me look like I had dunked my hair in a deep fryer lol not a good look. So while this is an ok product this is just too much work and I would not repurchase as there are much better ones out there.
