Let's start by saying that during winter my hair and skin become very dehydrated. On my skin I use a lot of hydrating products and on my poor coloured hair I need to step up my game. A recent convert to hair masks I had actually dropped and cracked my one, so the timing for this one was serendipidous.
Firstly the packaging is HUGE! You get a lot or product in here. I liked that Garnier were straight up about this not being 100% natural, but very close to. I really respect the transparency there.
The smell was very sweet, but I like it, especially first thing in the morning when you're feeling a little less fresh, having something so fruity and fragrant is lovely on the senses.
The product itself is white, thick and creamy. You can use this as a conditioner, a mask or a leave in conditioner. I used mine as a conditioner and mask. I really liked that there was a lot or product because I could really cover my long hair from root to top and make sure all the goodness covered everything. And because it's sulphate free I didn't have to worry about it stripping my hair of colour.
The result was that my hair was soft, silky and smooth. I found I didn't need as much hair oil to tame the frizz which is awesome and has left my hair a lot lighter in weight.
It definitely does what it says, and for a drugstore brand I'm really impressed. Garnier really came to the party!
Upon first look I loved the packaging and the product smells amazing! Instructions are clear and I can’t wait to use it. Using the product: I found it difficult to scoop it out using wet hands, and once I had scooped it out, returning the lid with the creme on my hands was was hard to do and I ended up losing some of it on the lid. But once it was on my hair it was great - no greasy conditioner feeling, no fake chemical smell. Washing it off was so easy and my hair felt so smooth. I let my hair dry naturally and even had a few comments about the nice smell. The most wonderful thing was usually my hair gets pretty greasy fast and i’m pretty sure this product was easing some of the greasiness. So overall I was pretty happy with the actual product and the results it produces my hair truly feels softer! but a little unhappy about the mess on my bathroom shelf everytime I used it.
Tips: Took me a while til I figured out to smear product on the back of my hand first to make it easier to close when hands are wet. Also I was able to combat my greasy roots by applying mostly on the ends of my hair.
