Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo and conditioner

 Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo and conditioner


As a BzzAgent I received full sized bottles of Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo and conditioner to review. The following are my biased opinions. I am not and will not be compensated for this review.



Garnier says that these products will "Fight frizz and keep hair sleek for thee days straight, even in 97% humidity." Here are my results.
 (I did not use this in conjunction with any other products, as I wanted to review the effects of these products ONLY.)

The product

Both the shampoo and conditioner have a nice fruity scent that I really like. It leaves your hair lightly scented for about a day without being perfumey.
The conditioner is a thick creamy consistency. Much thicker than your average drugstore shampoo. It feels more like a hair mask than a regular conditioner.

Garnier touts the ingredient of "Argan Oil from Morocco" and apricot. I could feel the difference in my hair IN the shower. After rinsing out the conditioner my hair felt smoother already and once it dried I was very pleased that the smoothness was still there. My hair felt REALLY well conditioned, but not heavy and the fly-aways that I usually have to combat were noticeably reduced. I was actually stroking my hair throughout the day because I was so impressed. My hair felt pretty smooth for the full 3 days. It felt the best during the first 36 hours though.

So this product definitely delivers on the SLEEK part.

I did not really notice a difference in the SHINE of my hair. But since light is more easily reflected from smooth surfaces my hair appeared slightly shinier. The formula didn't seem to really ADD any shine though
 

The Price
The suggested retail price for a 13 oz bottle is $3.99. Pretty inexpensive for the results it delivers.

The Final Verdict
I would recommend this to anyone with frizzy hair. I would actually recommend this product to anyone, period. It smells great, it makes your hair smooth and it doesn't cost much.
