Garnier Sleek & Shine Anti Friz

I brought this product to help with my fluffy, fuzzy hair when straightening. It when on fine but was quite greasy and you have to becareful not to use too much. During the course of the day my hair poofed up again and the smooth look didnt last through. I have stopped using it for that reason.

Greasy

I have purchased this product in the past and am no fan of it what-so-ever.

This product is very affordable, and has a great scent; but didn't do what it said it would on the label.

I applied this through mid-length to tip, and it just stuck my hair together and made my hair look "ratty" and uncared for. Basically made my hair look dirty.

Do not recommend to people who have fine strands of hair

Smelling like Apricots

Garnier Sleek & Shine smells amazing in your hair. I use it on occasion but their are other products I prefer first & foremost. If you apply too much product you are only going to look like you have greasy, unwashed hair. The product has changed since it was first introduced a number of years ago. I find that it can leave you with not only a greasy looking finish but also what I call straw like hair (which I personally don't like). A little goes along way & can help to tame unruly wild curly hair such as my own. The bottle size is smaller now than original.

Tips: Use sparingly & would recommend use on dry hair to help tame rather than wet or you will end with hair feeling like straw.

Sleek and "Greasy" Anti Frizz serum

I have thick wavy hair and I love a good hair product that can control the frizz without making it obvious that I have a ton of product in my hair. Over the years I have tried to appreciate this serum but it really doesn't work for me. When I think "sleek and shine" it evokes images of primped healthy hair not something that stumbled out of an oil slick.

The packaging is functional and has the signature green color of the Garnier brand. I love the fragrance which packs a solid citrus perfume-like punch but it's not enough to save this product from being an epic fail. When you pump out the product you need to be gentle to avoid dispensing too much. The serum has a smooth consistency that leaves behind a thin film on your hands; it's not overly sticky but you'll need to wash your hands afterwards.

I really like that the product moves very easily throughout my hair however I found that even a small pump leaves my hair looking greasy. Don't get me wrong the serum does control frizz and flyaways but it's at the expense of greasy looking hair which I hate. You put all this effort into straightening your hair only to douse it in oil? No thanks.

I wonder if this product is suppose to be used for those slicked back hairdos and if that's the case then yes this product is a 10/10 but it would still look greasy in my opinion. Funnily enough my sister who has thick curly hair really likes this product. She feels it makes her hair look naturally straight and appear healthy. We've agreed to disagree :-) Definitely not repurchasing this but will still see it around when my sister visits.

At least the price is right

When will I learn? Once again I found myself standing in the beauty aisle at the supermarket, kids clamoring for lollies, fellow shoppers jostling my trolley. And I'm standing there, thinking I need to buy a hair serum . . . something just to give it a little gloss and control the wispy bits . . . got to be worth a try right? In the trolley it goes. What a hopeless optimist.

I should have been warned by the size of the bottle for a kickoff. 150mL of Sleek and Shine with a handy pump dispenser, one squirt of which gives you enough product to cover the palm of your hand. It feels weird and sticky, like baby oil. The directions say to use on damp or dry hair, so I work it through my hair prior to blowdrying. The product distributes easily enough and leaves the whole room reeking of cucumbers. My hand is also coated in grease. Can't pick up the blow dryer. Won't wipe off on a towel. Bah, I wash my hands. Twice.

I blow dry as usual, except it takes twice as long. My hair is sleek alright. And flat. Okay, so maybe I just used too much. Try again tomorrow. And the next day. After much trial and error, I have found that if I use 2 -3 drops and smooth it over the ends of my hair I get a pretty good finish. If I try using a flat iron, it seems to stick and tug my hair. If I get it too close to my scalp, my hair feels greasy.

The way I look at it, I have 150mL of so-so hair serum, of which I need approximately 0.3mL of every other day. 450 doses. 900 days. That's nearly three years supply. No way I am getting to the end of this bottle! Think I will cut to the chase and toss it out now.

Garner Anti Frizz Serum

The main reason for purchasing this was that I needed a serum quickly and this was the most noticeable thing in the supermarket.

Next time I will make sure I look carefully and choose carefully because this product did not meet my expectations at all.

Using this product feels like using a straight oil, it's greasy and won't wash off your hands easily. It also does nothing for my hair - if anything it makes it worse. It just makes it look greasy and the frizzy bits stick up more.

I still have almost a full bottle and don't intend on using it again, not worth the money even if it is a little bit cheaper than other hair oils.

Tips: Take your time looking for a product, don't rush!

Sleek & Shine Anti Frizz Serum

I purchased this as I'm always keen to try anti-frizz products and well, I found the price to be nice and the bottle very convenient to use but all I got out of this was oil that didn't do anything for me except make my hair greasy and smell absolutely gorgeous. I ended up mixing this up with hair conditioner just make it worth using again. Sadly I would never purchase this product again.

Hair Serum

I think this product may need rebranding. Recently I had the colour stripped from my hair & I knew I was running out of my Miracle Oil & wanted to try another hair serum, so off to the supermarket I went & this wee baby was on special. I was a little put off as it spouts on about anti frizz, but looking at the oils, it was what I thought I needed and I was right. My hair went from dry - oh so very dry after colour stripping which involved peroxides, as well as re-colouring - so my poor hair had 5 hours of treatments at the salon. After a week of use, my hair is back to feeling smooth, strong and nourished. I still have some special moments after washing my hair, but this oil puts it back to rights quickly. It has saved my hair.

Garnier Sleek & Shine Serum - Review

I found this product on sale about a year ago at The Warehouse, and was impressed by it's claims so I decided to give it a go. It doesn't quite live up to all it's claims but it does do a great job on my ends!

This comes in a big green bottle, and I find it is perfectly sized for the price. One of these usually lasts me around 2 months which is impressive!

You dispense it using a pump, and it is good to travel with because you can lock it into place so it won't leak.

This smells like a hair salon, it's great! It is quite greasy in texture, and doesn't really soak into your hair when it's dry so I recommend only using it when your hair is wet.

Every night when I condition my hair I use this JUST ON THE ENDS, and it keeps them great for ages. The ends of my hair are so soft and it helps prevent breakage when combing through my hair!

I will definitely be repurchasing this again, for the price it's just a small staple in my hair care routine.

Tips: Only use this when your hair is wet, as it is a very greasy oil AND only apply from the mid-length of your hair down! Otherwise you will get greasy roots/scalp.

Garnier Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz Serum

I bought this product at a Farmers sale as I was on the lookout for a frizz-tamer and thought the smell was nice, liked the addition of argan oil, and decided to test it out.

The size is good and I only really need one pump to do all of my hair, but I've found that it makes my hair immediately greasy if I put it in when my hair is dry so I'd really recommend putting it in when your hair is damp.

It doesn't live up to the claim of keeping your hair sleek and shiny for three days, I find that by the second day it makes my hair feel and look heavy and greasy, however it does make my hair feel wonderfully soft and lovely on the day it's applied.

You can't really put it into your roots because it goes greasy very quickly which is annoying for me as I bought it to sleeken my frizzy baby hairs.

It's good for the price but I wouldn't buy it again personally.
