Not convinced

I have a weird mixture of straight and wavy hair, so needed a product that could cope with my weird hair type. It is quite an oily product, granted it is a serum, but it left my hair looking flat (heavy) and looking/feeling oily instead of shiny. I also found that it didn't penetrate deep into my hair, it kind of just sat on the top. Not my ideal product.

Not impressed

I have very curly hair which is pretty crazy. so im always trying these serums and this one just wasnt for me. It was far too greasy even with only using a small amount. It did smooth out my little frizzies but half way through the day mmy hair just looked awful! Even tried using dry shampoo and it just went cakey. I think this might be more suited to someone with very dry hair.

Tips: Apply sparingly

Garnier Sleek & Shine Anti Frizz Serum

Too oily for me. Don't get me wrong, it smells amazing... but for my super thin, sometimes frizzy mop; it just didn't do what I expected. Made my hair feel and look greasy... I wanted my hair to shine; not look like I hadn't washed it for weeks.. This did the exact opposite. Disappointed to say the least.

Oily & Heavy

I find this stuff way to heavy and oily on my hair-especially because my hair is quite oily anyway. I gave it away after just using it for a week. Even using a little bit was too much for my fine hair. the price is good, but I wouldn't buy it again,

Not sleek or shing

I bought this after hearing some reasonably good stuff about it. However, it just did not work for my fine hair.

First of all, it does smell alright! But really, which Fructis product doesn't! It comes in nice packaging in a good size, with a pump for less mess.

The product itself, I used it on both wet and dry hair and neither worked for me sadly. I found the product too heavy and greasy. It left my hair feeling limp and greasy - not at all sleek or shiny (in a good way). I have naturally curly, fine hair and was hoping this product would reduce the frizz so I would feel comfortable wearing my hair natural. But it really didn't do anything for the frizz - there was little difference for me between using the product and not using it.

As such, I wouldn't bother with trying this again. It was worth a shot for the price (I bought this product on sale) but I would not recommend this product to any one with fine hair.

Tips: Start with only a little product in the ends of your hair to reduce the greasy look and feel.

Nice Idea but too Oily

I found this product smelt nice but left my hair too oily for my liking. Thought it did kill the frizz it really wasn't worth the feeling of unclean hair.

Oily hair

This product made my hair super oily afterwards. It may have tamed the frizz but it made my hair look like an oil slick! Almost like I hadn't washed it in days.

Boo Garnier

Never really liked any of the Garnier products I have tried and this was no exception. It made my hair feel greasy and gross - nothing like the sleek, shininess it promised. The only upside was that it did smell great but overall I would not purchase again.

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.

ahhh a classic

back in the day garnier was seen as an "it" brand, and i guess in some ways they still are. as they were a supermarket brand they always seemed a bit too expensive, but in the years since i was a teen their prices have become much more affordable, especially with their half price sales they often have.

this is one such product that i feel was highly coveted, as i had never seen a hair serum before, and to get a bottle of that size was just unheard of for a hair product. the green bottle tied in well with their range, although now they seem to have changed things up and added in new colors (yay!) as well as a plethora of new products.

the smell is incredible, i don't know what it is but i know i love it, and i can't stop sniffing my hair once i've used it. sadly that's probably the only good thing i like about it. the serum feels oily and horrible, even wiping my hands after doesn't get rid of the greasy sensations.

this serum also weighed down my hair something fierce and left it looking dull and lifeless, like i had been living rough for a bit and had no shower. no matter how little i used i still got this result. i did find it worked quite well mixed in with some hair masks i had lying around, as i could wash and shampoo it out again, but otherwise, its a below average product for me, and it's only redeeming quality is the smell :'(
