Garnier Fructis Coconut Water Conditioner Review

I bought the Garnier Coconut Water range a few weeks ago. I usually dislike Garnier Fructis shampoos and conditioners but this one definitely made me change my tune a bit, or a lot! It matches the shampoo in the same duo which I love matching things so yay. It is a darker more vibrant green than the boring old garnier fuctis that I have seen before these.

The bottle sits with the opening on the down side so that it makes it easier to get the product out. The conditioner is very rich and creamy to the touch and as described by my bebe Shana it smells like fruit juice. I was never a fan of all the sweet fruity shampoos that Garnier make but this baby has me loving the smell.

After I have shampooed I follow with this conditioner to give it the best results. I use the equivalent to two fifty cent coins to make sure I get full coverage. I smooth it through concentrating mostly on the lengths of my hair because that is where all the moisture is needed as opposed to the roots. My hair is colour damaged so needs a lot of TLC so I wasn't holding out much hope that it would feel amazing. After only smoothing it through my hair becomes tangle free (massive feat with curly hair) and like I have just walked out of a salon feeling. This was after just one wash!!

After towel drying my hair, the magic was evident! I ran a hairbrush through it with no problems. Usually I have a fight with the hairbrush to go through and undo matted knots. This time I am able to brush my hair no sweat with but maybe two knots compared to my usual 15-20. If this is what happened after the first wash I couldn't wait to find out more.

It has now been around 4-5 weeks since I purchased this. My hair is far more manageable and soft. The colour damage is still there but is way less obvious to the eye unless you're inspecting it up close. It shines and in turn allows my red hair to shine and look as healthy as it can be. So in summary, I am coconutty on this stuff!!

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this range. Firstly, I like the packaging. It's bright green, vibrant, and attractive.

The lid snaps open and it's easy to squeeze out the right amount of product. The conditioner itself smells quite fruity which I found disappointing because I was looking forward to a coconut scent.

The conditioner applies easily enough, but I found that it doesn't do that much for my hair. It claims to balance oily roots and nourish dry ends, but I didn't find this result to be outstanding, and is comparable to most other conditioners.

My hair felt clean and soft, but wasn't particularly nourished. For the price, and the claim of good ingredients, I may repurchase, but wouldn't go out of my way to get it.

I was really happy to be on this trial, as I do have quite dry/damaged ends, something I have to think about whenever I purchase hair products.

I'm quite happy that Garnier has come up with a more environmentally-friendly design, i.e. the bottles are recyclable. But what's even more exciting is the fact that this range is silicon and paraben free. I have curly/wavy hair that can be curled to different extents on any given day, and I find it disheartening to have limp hair that's not curly but not fine and straight. And I've been told that silicon can weigh your hair down to make that sad look come to light. Long story short, it's been hard finding an affordable, silicon free conditioner, which this one is!!

And the volume of my curls now!! Not weighed down, but not dried out! Very happy with the results. Admittedly, this conditioner isn't as hydrating as I'm used to, but I wonder whether what I've thought to be hydrating is actually weighing my hair down. It's a bit of a light bulb moment.

The only thing I don't like about this conditioner is the smell. Where the shampoo is subtle and refreshing, the conditioner has a sort of musk that I associate with a hair removal product that I had bad experiences with in the past.

I also would be less inclined to suggest this conditioner to friends who had different hair types as me / who really needed some heavy hydration, as I've found this is more of a balanced product.

I really liked the shampoo and definitely approve of the conditioner. It is a generous size and price for a supermarket conditoner and smells amazing and not over powering at all.

I used a blob on my ends and left it on as a bit of a mask whilst doing the leg routine in the shower (tmi babes i know) and it rinsed out well and didnt make my hair feel heavy at all.

I have definitely experienced a lot of conditioners that are a lot worse than this and are so full of silicon that when you wash it off it leaves that horrible residue on your skin eyuck!

Once my hair was dry, styled and serumed it held remarkably well for thick hair. Usually my hair fluffs up and turns frizzy and curly after two days but my hair held for an extra day and i didnt have to break out the dry shampoo.

Two thumbs up garnier!

I use this as my daily conditioner. I have found my hair is softer and smells amazing! I do notice that it is a bit more dry than usual. All in all used with an extra hair mask would work well.

I really enjoyed trying this conditioner as I have natural tendency for oily roots and as my ends have been bleached they can often be dry feeling and frizzy in nature.

The packaging is sleek and I prefer the new click lids on these bottles versus the old design. The bottle now stands up sturdy in my shower and closed with an audible click so no chance of leaks. I do however miss the signature neon green bottle that was easy to spot on the shelf. The text is clearly written and it's easy to see which variant you are buying. I think the word conditioner should be larger however to distinguish the two bottles more obviously, the only difference is this bottle is slightly darker green than the shampoo.

The smell is absolutely delicious, I loved showering with this and made me want to wash my hair daily with it.

Texture was nice and thick like a good moisturizer, the colour is white and it glides into the hair easily.

I noticed less hair fall during this week which must be a good thing :) My ends felt more nourished and very soft! However it didn't seem to help their frizzy nature.

Overall I like this conditioner, it's a good affordable price and i will continue to finish the bottle and see if it improves my dry ends over more time. I would repurchase this product.

I went away on holiday and realised I forgot to bring my conditioner, when I got to the store this was the cheapest one I found that wasn’t budget or home brand. I was pleasantly supprised when I used it it left my hair feeling silky smooth and soft. I have very thick hair and I find it hard to get conditioners that make my hair this nice and silky. Over all it’s a good product for a great price

The packaging is a nice bright green, stands out well on the supermarket shelf. I like the nice fruity scent, it's not too overpowering.

I wasn't entirely sold on the shampoo, but I felt the conditioner worked well. When my hair wasn't oily the shampoo worked well and the two together left my hair feeling really smooth.

The conditioner works well with my other shampoo as well. The length feels hydrated without weighing down the roots. I found I needed less conditioner than I normally do with other ones, which is great because my conditioner always runs out a lot faster than the shampoo.

I'm pretty sure I will buy this one again, I like that it doesn't feel heavy and it adds a nice lingering scent.

I am in love!!! For starters, the packaging is beautiful, a really lovely green colour that looks clean, natural and appealing. This conditioner doesn’t have the usual strong scent that Garnier Fructis products usually do, it has more of your usual conditioner smell. This is a little disappointing, but great for those who don’t like strong scents. The bottle is also super easy to open when you’ve got wet hands. The conditioner applies easily, and you can feel it working from the minute its in. Once washed out and dried, I noticed an instant difference in how conditioned my hair was. It felt so nice to not be struggling with dry frizzy ends anymore! I will definitely buy this product in future.

I used this product along with the corresponding shampoo. I found the packaging, scent and results to be to my liking. I enjoyed the fresher, coconut scent that I didnt find so much with the shampoo. It certainly hydrated my hair and left a lovely scent. For the price, I feel its a good product. I will definitely repurchase.
