Garnier Fructis Coconut Water Shampoo Review

FINALLY I found myself a shampoo that can tame and nourish my thick, voluminous hair haha..

100% recommend this shampoo! The scent is subtle, slighty sweet, yet refreshing.

I usually need to wash my hair 3times to get through all my hair (shoulder length but coarse and thick) for it to feel clean. But with this shampoo believe it all not, I just needed to wash it once and it lathered up nicely amd once I rinsed it out, GUESS WHAT? my hair didn't feel dry and it didn't knot up! Yay.

I also did not use conditioner afterwards as my hair was completely hydrated and nourished straight away.

My hair was soft and fluffy for the first 2 days then started to tame down. It was soft and shiny a week later!

Absolutely love it and will forever be my number shampoo/conditioner.

Thanks garnier!

I bought this after reading some of the reviews on BR. I liked what people said and what it promises so had to find out for myself what the fuss was about. I have a scalp that is very temperamental so can be oily and other times very dry depending on the weather and whether or not I have coloured my hair. Now I am embarrassed to admit that I get dandruff pretty bad at times, dependent on my hairs behavior so I need a balanced scalp like it promises.

Now I never used to be a fan of Garnier Fructis anything so was hesitant but thought, what the heck let's do this we only live once. Although it looks much like the other Garnier Fructis range this one in particular looks fresh and chic. It's not as green and has more of a summer vibe to the appearance. The shampoo actually has the smell of fruit juice which is a heck of alot better than the other sickly fruit scents I have smelled. The consistency is alot lighter than their other shampoos which I love. I don't live full on creamy shampoo. I'd prefer a light feeling creaminess.

I use the size of an old 50c coin and lather it up in my hair, concentrating on the scalp rather than the lengths. I leave this in for 3 minutes so it has time to clean my scalp and my hair. Upon rinsing I am getting the familiar dry matted feeling. I don't love it but I know that some shampoo can do this before conditioning. I do have to admit my scalp feels refreshed even after the first wash.

I have at times repeated the wash to make sure I have gotten in to all areas. After 3 weeks now I am happy to report that I have way less dandruff and my scalp is less temperamental. Most days it behaves and is no longer oily.....winning at life! Although the just rinsed out feeling does not make my heart happy it's worth it to have the results I have now!

First time i'd used a Garnier Shampoo although not my first experience with the Garnier Brand as i've used their sleek and shine treatment before which I absolutely loved.

I've been using a salon shampoo for the last 6 weeks so I was interested to see how this product would compare.

To be honest I was expecting it not to compare by a long shot, but boy was I pleasantly surprised!

It smells amazing which is a big plus from me and despite being paraben and silicone free, it foamed up nicely and washed out easily.

When I styled my hair it didn't feel weighed down or on the other hand too slippery for me to style.

My daughter is using it and she really loves it too.

It's a yes from me and i'd absolutely purchase it again!

This product seemed like it would be perfect for my hair type. I can never seem to find the right combination for my oily roots and dry ends, so I was really happy to give this a go.

First off - the packaging. It's a bright, cant miss it green, it even jumped out to my 8 year old when we were at the supermarket. It's easy to open in the shower, sounds silly but its not always the case. The scent of Garnier is always sweet, but this wasn't too overpowering - it lingered in my hair (my brother even told me I smell nice!) but wasn't too strong as to annoy me.

The first time I used it my hair wasn't too oily, so I felt like it did a really good job. It washed well and worked with the conditioner, leaving me with nice smooth hair. The next couple of times my hair was oily and then had product in it. I felt like those tmes it didn't wash my hair as well. The first time I left it, and as it dried it still felt like it was a bit oily. The second time it didn't feel like the shampoo was cleaning my hair, I used another one as well and it worked out better.

I think it is hydrating, so doesn't work that well if my roots are quite oily, but it felt quite good for the dry ends. I'm still not sure if I will buy the shampoo again.

This shampoo is differently scented compared to the matching conditioner. Personally I think the scent of the coconut water conditioner is nicer. I like that this product is without parabens which are linked to cancers but I do note that there is still sulfates in this product. Sulfates are what make the bubbles and foam when you wash they can often strip too much of the natural oils in your hair making it dry and less shiny as well as potential to dry out and irritate your scalp. Sulfates can even get through to the hair cortex which can lead to dull fizzy looking hair because they can powerfully strip your hair and skin of its natural protective oil this allows the bad things like pollution, pathogens harmful microbes so you are at higher risk of getting sick. Even though the additive in this product can be argued to not be a true sulfate (due to being short an atom or two) it is just as damaging. Aside from all this and I must mention that sulfates are in most shampoos and beauty products so this product brand is in no way alone in that aspect. A positive for this shampoo is along with the coconut water which helps hydrate, the fruit extracts in this product may help nourish the hair, give hair volume, help prevent hair thinning/falling out and combat dandruff. Now for the performance of the shampoo: The product lathers decently but soon afterwards all the bubbles disappear as if my hair absorbed all the foam up. Because the foam or bubbles disappeared on my hair with this shampoo, I then felt the need to add more of the shampoo to get the bubbles back and "properly" wash my hair. So I feel the consumer of this product may feel inclined to do the same as without bubbles it does not seem like efficient cleaning if that makes sense.This is not the first shampoo I have used that has this affect and It will be something to do with the chemical composition. My hair felt soft after use but I did use with conditioner it did seem a bit frizzy at the ends at first but the next day the ends had settled down and actually curved nicely. The thing about this product brand is that will make me repurchase in the future they have modified the plastic packaging to make it more friendly to the earth I will be keen to try some of the other types from this brand.

In the trial time I managed to use 3 times. I have always struggled with oily roots but the rest of my hair is dry from many years of highlights.

The products came in striking but appealing green bottles with sturdy click top lids. I had no leakages when travelling with these bottles in my bag either. They had clear text on their label and easy to read instructions for use on the back.

The shampoo and conditioner both have a pleasant fruity scent that I kept on smelling until my hair dried.

The shampoo lathers well and a little goes a long way. I made sure to get deep into my roots and down the length of my hair for best results. My hair felt well cleansed but not stripped of its natural oils.

Following drying my hair my roots felt light and ends of my hair felt hydrated and nourished. A great product that I will use again.

A new hairdresser commented on my scalp being quite oily. I didn't realise that was the problem but I had noticed that my hair was getting oilier a lot quicker than before, so she was right. From then Balancing shampoos were recommended for me so I have used a few, like Kerastese Specifique, Loreal Balancing shampoo, etc. Some of those made my hair quite frizzy and I didn't like them. The Garnier coconut water though, really hit the spot. The shampoo is a silky texture with a subtle scent and it really 'rebalanced' my hair, so that I couldn't really notice the difference between my roots and the ends. My hair stayed fresh for a lot longer and there was no frizziness, just looked moisturised at the ends. I am definitely going to stick with this shampoo from now on.

I loved this shampoo! I have tried quite a few shampoos and this is right up there for a supermarket brand. I have thick hair so from the outright i knew i would need more product then normal.

First of all the packaging is great, it is a reasonable sized product and price compared to the organic brands in the supermarket. It is easy to access and stands well on the shelf.

The smell is beautiful not overly fruity and not coco nutty at all. I had to shampoo twice due to thick hair, but thankfully my hair didnt feel like it had been stripped which i have experienced with other shampoos.

It lathers really well and rinses quickly as well.

I have managed to go three days between shampoos and my hair once straightened held for a lot longer as well.

So two thumbs up on this product, will buy again!!

This is one product thats off my shopping list. My hair is very oily and I need to shampoo every day. This shampoo lathers well and smells like any other shampoo. Infact there is nothing unique about this shampoo. The hair feel soft post washing. But they get limp very fast and feel heavy and oily again in a day. Not a good experience.

thanks to beauty review for sending me this product. in the 10 day trial time, i have used it twice. i was so excited to try this because i recently went to the hairdresser and she said i have oily roots. so this product was made for me LoL.

first off, garner fructis always delivers a lovely botanical fragrance. paragon free, silicone free...GREAT (now they just need to get rid of the sulphate). did it do what it says...maybe. i say maybe because all shampoo cleans your hair...doesn't it?

this shampoo allowed me to go four good days before having to wash again. five would be pushing it. i can usually go three days...so the more days between each wash is great! the other thing to note is that i don't get overly hot or sweaty from exercise on my head, so that may impact on the period between washes.

i will end by saying i will continue to use this shampoo...to continue trial it, as 10 days just wasn't enough time
