Garnier Fructis Coconut Water Shampoo Review

Garnier Fructis Coconut Water Shampoo is great! It comes in a green plastic bottle with an easy lift lid. It smells just like coconut and makes my hair feeling great and looking shiny. ITs definitely assisting with my oily roots and dry ends. With a recommended retail price of $5.09 I thinks it’s great value for money. I have even used it on my children’s hair as well, as they loved the smell and found it worked great. I will definitely be buying more once I’ve run out.

I am very very happy with this shampoo and it is definitely going to be my go-to from now on. Roughly 6 months ago I had my hair cut to include a fringe and since then I've had more trouble with oily roots (yet dry ends due to colour damage). I also have a mid-range amount of curls in my hair, I have found that I have to be careful choosing my shampoo and conditioner because some products weigh my hair down and some lead to frizz. So with knowing all of that, here is my experience with this shampoo:

The bottle is simple and nice to look at, in a very bright green. I like that it is made of recyclable materials. The shampoo itself is a slightly thinner mixture than what I'm used to and it takes a bit more rubbing to get lathered (but give it time, because it does get there). The scent is very refreshing to me, not as coconut-y as expected, but I guess it is coconut water rather than milk. I found a second wash with a very small amount of extra shampoo (after rinsing) made my hair feel great.

This shampoo made my hair feel very clean and balanced (not dried out at all). It definitely improved my oils, as I was able to have 2 full days of non-oil-slicked hair between washes, without that annoying half day of looking terrible. I was very very impressed with how full my hair looked after using this shampoo, full and curly, because of this I was happy to wear my hair out for 2 days. My hair did knot easier than usual (something I contribute to both the shampoo and me being more free with my hair styling). All up a very lovable shampoo which helped the health and vitality of my hair!!

Side note: I love that this is a silicon free shampoo, something I've been looking for without having to break the bank for a while now. Great value shampoo right here.

Garnier's new Coconut Water Shampoo is paraben and silicone free. It claims to cleanse, rebalance and purify the scalp and result in rebalaced hair with a clean scalp and hydrated ends that are not weighed down. So what were my impressions?

Let's start from the outside in. From the outside the packaging tells you what the product aims to achieve and puts forward the concept of Garnier being recycle friendly. The bottle itself is a standard shampoo bottle, which means I instantly get more shampoo than I need when I use the bottle. But it could be worse.

The product inside smells fruity which suggests to me that more fragrance is used than in perhaps needed.I expected it to have more of a coconut scent, given how coconut water is highlighted on the label.

In terms of effect, my roots feel clean and oil free for about 3 days. Which is fairly standard for my hair with a good shampoo. I'm not convinced that my scalp has been purified. But it is certainly clean. The top of my hair feels hydrated enough, but those dry ends are still there.

All in all I like the shampoo and it is an affordable option I would consider using again.

Really love the natural colour and images of the packaging that this shampoo come in. Garnier Fructis always produce products with amazing smells and this one is no exception, it smells fruity and natural. It has an amazing lather that really feels like it is cleaning my hair and really getting rid of all those excess oils and It washes out easily. I noticed the next day that my hair had a lot more ‘body’ than it usually would also. My hair lasted 4 days without needing a wash, whereas before I could only go two. I would defiantly purchase this product in future. It does exactly what it says it will!!

I was looking forward to trialling this product as my hair is always a bit of an issue for me. I have lily roots, and dry ends. Most hydrating products leave my hair limp and oily, and anything that I use to combate the oil ends up drying my hair out. I like the packaging of this product, it looks fresh and vibrant. The product itself lathers up quite a lot and appears to clean the hair sufficiently,although I do sometimes have to shampoo my hair twice to get all of the styling product out. This item is supposed to contain coconut water and I expected it to be more coconut frangrant yet it had the usual fructis scent. It certainly removed the oil and for the price, does a pretty good job. I will buy it again as I like the price.

I was lucky enough to receive this range to trial. The packaging is great - I love the vibrant green, that just looks clean and appealing. I also like the eco-friendly packaging and the lid opens well with wet hands in the shower and closes securely.

It smells fruity, and lathers well. I like the shampoo the most because I feel it give my hair a really good clean! Especially since my roots are often quite oily. It just leaves my hair clean, soft and feeling amazing! I did follow it up with the conditioner on a couple days, but I feel that the conditioner didn't do much when I used just the shampoo alone.

Overall, I would repurchase the shampoo again! For the price, it's a bargain, and is pretty much suitable for everyone because my family uses it too and love it.

Overall I thought this was a pretty decent shampoo. I have quite oily hair and it'll usually need a wash on the second day. I thought this shampoo had a funny smell at first but I actually quite liked it as it's quite fruity. The smell does actually linger on till the next day but not as much as I like. The positives of this shampoo is definitely being silicone and paraben free as excess build up of silicone can make your hair more oily, so going silicone free is definitely a good change to make in your hair products. I think it did a pretty good job at washing and my hair definitely felt nice straight afterwards and the day after. One thing I found quite odd was that it wasn't as sudsy as a would've liked and I did feel like I had to use a bit more compared to other shampoos. I'd say it's probably not as good as other shampoos out there but it's a good option if you have oily hair and need a bit of lifting at the ends.

Loved this shampoo smell! Was expecting more of a coconut smell but pleastantly surprised it was more citrusy. This gives a great lather as well which feels like a good clean. My hair does seem less oily than normal which I am pretty happy about! Would still need to wash it every other day though

Garnier Fructis Coconut Water Shampoo had already won me over due to its silicon and paraben free formula and I was also happy to find that it did indeed work for my hair. The shampoo comes in a nice little bottle that dispenses well. The shampoo smells great and lathers well. It was easy to apply and rinse off and I could tell that it was nicely cleaning my hair and scalp without drying either out. Hair felt nice and silky after rinse and even before applying the conditioner. I was able to go two days without washing my hair without feeling weighed down and grease built up on scalp. My hair definitely felt soft, fresh and nicely cleansed.

Garnier used to be made in France but is now made in India so the French name's now somewhat obscure...it's made by Loreal a French brand. I thought the colour of the packaging was nice, I liked that it's made from recycled materials. It didn't smell like coconut at all seemed like a watermelon smell. The shampoo did make my scalp less oily but I seemed to get a bit of dandruff I put it down to the chemicals as it does have a lot of harsh chemicals in. Which is probably due to it being a cheap supermarket shampoo. I think nothing beats an organic natural shampoo and it's worth the money. You get what you pay for. I liked the silicon and parable free ingredients which not many people know but silicon can cause bleached hair to break when coloured and coats the hair to make it shiny so is like plastic coating your hair.
