I'm in the throws of going granny grey - which means two bleaching sessions in the last month. The first at the hairdressers and the second at home. After the first session my hair was feeling a little frazzled and more than a little fragile, definitely in need of some repair.
I've used Fructis in the past but I have to admit I was excited about the thought of a paraben free, silicone free range - there's nothing worse that heavy, weighed down hair, especially when its already a bit worse for wear.
These products both smell incredible, fruity and fresh - delicious! The smell lingers nicely through the day, so mega points for that.
I love the packaging and I really love the fact Garnier have gotten rid of the little 'clasp' that used to be a nightmare to open. These are nice, basic, sturdy flip tops.
The shampoo lathers nicely and rinses easily - I never double shampoo anyway, I honestly think its just a waste of product, but my hair felt nice and clean, but not too dry after just one shampoo - considering the torture of bleach happening over this time, I don't think I could ask for more from a shampoo.
The conditioner is rich and creamy. My hair is shoulder-length and thick and I found a $2 amount to be ample. I worked it through my (very beached) ends carefully, and left it for about 3 mins before rinsing. My hair felt soft even when wet, I could feel the difference.
After use my hair is soft and manageable and shiny - the holy trinity of hair care right there!
I've been using the shampoo every 4 days and the conditioner daily - the bottles go a long way, and are so cheap, especially for paraben/silicone-free products. So my favourite thing - an economical product that works!
I'm really enjoying the nutri-repair range and will continue using it. Once my hair has reached it's Granny-Chic goals and is in a 'stable' condition I'll try more from the Fructis range - at this price I just have to!
Love the yellow bottles, they make me think of summer and happy! The shampoo lest my hair feeling properly washed. The conditioner made my hair soft and got rid of the tangles. Neither of them left any horrible residue. The smell in both of them was lovely and didn't mess with my allergies which I have problems with from some fragrances in products.
Tips: Definitely use together, they are a perfect match!
