I have always been a fan of Pantene but being really broke and seeing the big red 'SALE - Buy 1 get 1 FREE' sign hanging in front of the Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo and Condition 2 IN 1 for Normal Hair, I thought why not give it a try. Afterall I have been using Garnier Face products and have absolute confidence in them.

I couldn't be more wrong.

The 2-in-1 shampoo makes my normally healthy hair very very dry. It wasn't apparent after the first wash but on the third day, I had to shell out more cash to buy a separate conditioner (yeah, you can bet it is Pantene this time!). Although the shampoo smells fabulous, I probably would not buy another bottle unless I am awfully desperate or when my hair is really short. I must admit it is really cheap, I bought it from Superdrugs at £1.99 for 2 bottles sometime back but the results are not good.

Personally I wouldn't recommend this shampoo to anyone unless you have oily hair. While it is cheap, it may be necessary for you to use a separate conditioner so the total cost may not be that cheap afterall. I would personally think that I would have been better off buying a Pantene 2-in-1.

Hmm must have been on special offer because its the only way they can get people to buy it! I have heard nothing but bad reviews about this shampoo and I don't think I'll be buying it. Thanks for the op.

Hi, slightly one sided opinion - could do with more about the product itself rather than just your user experience. e.g i think shampoos are largely down to each persons hair. Keep up the writing though
