Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

I have long blonde hair that could charitably be described as 'a little unruly'. Generally, the look I'm aiming for is Bardot-esque smooth and straight. More often than not (especially of there's even a chance of wind or rain) the look I actually achieve is Worzel Gummidge after horrible electrocution incident. I seem to spend a small fortune on various haircare products and although I will gladly skip onto the bandwagon of a new product, I do seem ...
...shampoo and conditioner. I had been using the sleek & shine range of shampoos and conditioners separately quite contentedly before spotting the 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner for normal hair. Thinking it might save me time I decided to give it a try. My bottle cost £1.99 in Boots for 250ml, which is reasonably pricey, but still substantially cheaper then Nicky Clarke or John Frieda versions. The bottle is green with a flip top lid and has the Garnier ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

If you have read any of my reviews, you will know I have mentioned my rebellious mop from time to time. Now I don't mean the floor mop refusing to come out of the cupboard, I mean my sorry excuse for hair. I have scoured the streets and shops looking for anything that would make my hair smooth and sleek. I have bought all the smooth and sleek ranges in all brand names. To no avail. I still end up looking like the girl out of the Exorcist. That ...
...at half price. Being one for a bargain how could I resist. I searched the shelves for something I hadn't tried. Then there it was on the shelf along with others just like it, Garnier Fructis With nutritive fruit micro-oils. Sleek and shine for dry, coarse or REBELLIOUS hair. I was so excited I bought the shampoo, the conditioner and the Weightless Smoothing Serum. I got the conditioner free with the shampoo which cost £1.29 for 250ml in each bottle. ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

When this line of products was launched a few years ago to immense hype over its "natural ingredients" etc etc... I was first in the queue to buy the shampoo and conditioner. The first time i used them everything was fine and my hair even seemed a bit shinier than before! ANYWAY...it all went downhill from there on. The second time i used the products my hair started to feel a bit greasy and lank, which meant i had to wash it again later that day...this ...
...greasy and sticky, it was in a mess. So that was the last time i used the shampoo and conditioner. HOWEVER...it doesn't end there! About a year ago Fructis launched a line of Styling products called..."Fructis Style". 10 points for originality. Well, being obsessive about styling products I decided to give them a go. The first product I bought was the "Extra-Strong Structurising Gel". I used this when i've just got out of the shower before i dry ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

Just read two excellent opinions on shampoos from 200and one and offy which must surely be in the front runners for the “best opinion about shampoo” competition that Ciao is running at the moment though the prize is a bit miserly. A tenner, Ciao? Still, better than nothing I suppose. I recently wrote an op on bubble bath and thought I’d try my hand at writing about shampoo. Mind you remember I’m a bloke, and this is girls territory, and basically, ...
...but hopefully I can conjure up 120 or so words on the subject so here goes. I’ve tried various shampoos, usually based on a combination of value for money and whether they actually do the job they’re supposed too, that is clean your hair, leave it in a manageable state so you can get a comb through, and leave your hair feeling soft too touch and smelling pleasant once you’ve dried it. Too many of them end up leaving your hair feeling greasy or ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

...so I tried Fructis by Laboratoires Garnier. I got the shampoo and conditioner 2 in 1 as I always do when I buy pantene, rather than buying 2 different bottles. It comes in a 250ml green bottle with a dark green ball type flid lid. The lid is very easy to open and none of the shampoo leakes out of it. The one I got is for normal hair. On the front of the bottle it has the name Fructis in white letters and what it is. The shampoo is white in colour ...
...information on this product then write to:- Laboratoires Garnier Paris London W6 8AZ I would not buy this shampoo and conditioner again but I'm sure some people do like it. I do recommend it though as it probably doesn't make every one's hair greasy like it did with mine. ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

Being of mixed-race origin, my hair is soft and curly, but has the tendency to become dry and frizzy. I have always dreamt of a head full of defined, frizz-free shiny, manageable curls. Thanks to Garnier Fructis Sleek&Shine Fortifying Shampoo and Fortifying Cream Conditioner, I do now! I came across these two products at Savers. Both cost around £1.29 each, I think, a low price that I was more than willing to pay for what the label promised - long ...
...colour, and the shampoo bottle has a little green ball on its flip lid, which makes it easy to open in the shower with wet, slippery fingers. According to the label, Fructis Sleek&Shine contains fruit micro-oils that are intended to smooth down dry, damaged and difficult to smooth hair, as well as tame frizz effectively. The label promises that the active fruit concentrate will leave your hair up to three times smoother after 5 washes, and up to ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

Hello again people, Well the only reason for trying this product was because I got a full bottle as a freebie for doing a survey on their site and not because of their long lasting quite frankly annoying advert campaign. They apparently have a new formula to the shampoo, well I wouldn't know as I haven't tried their old stuff but this seems nothing special. This new formula is meant to leave your hair cleaner, softer and shinier. Application after ...
...Garnier give their product is The Active Fruit Concentrate, For Hair that shines With All its Strength. Also a combination of innovative ingredients naturally present in fruit, that gives strength and shine to your hair. Well I have to say there must be a lot of crazy stuff naturally present in fruit. The ingredients list on the bottle goes on and on with things I could not even make up for example Cocamide Mipa whatever that is but I am sure it ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

I remember buying Fructis 4 years ago when it had first been introduced into the market. It looked fresh and I like experimenting so I switched from my normal shampoo. The packaging was bright and seemed to liven up the bathroom and buying the shampoo and separate conditioner together meant I got them for a discounted price. The smell was lovely and refreshing and it was a change from my previous shampoo which smelt like an accident in the perfume ...
...it onto my hair, it lathered up well and appeared to leave my hair soft. After washing the shampoo out with ease, I followed the instructions and applied the conditioner. I didn’t leave it on for too long as doing so normally leaves my hair feeling greasy. It took a while to wash the product off and when I was convinced that it finally had, I towelled dried my hair and after, let it dry naturally. After a couple of hours, it was dry and soon ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

I seem to have trouble with shampoos and stuff. I used to like Neutralia...but that started irritating my scalp and gave me chronic dandruff! Then I started using Panténe, but that too started giving me dandruff. I tried Organics, but that was bad from the start. So, next on the shelf was this green bottle with a little black lumpy lid called Fructis. So, I gave that a try and that was nearly two years ago. I'm still using it now! All the adverts ...
...fruit ingredients' stuff. Also, don't pay any attention to all those scares about how it makes your hair turn to plastic or whatever! The shampoo and conditioner is great. Lather it up and it smells great and makes your scalp tingle. My hair stays lovely and clean for ages, smells great and doesn't give me any hint of dandruff whatsoever. The conditioner also makes it stay nice and soft throughout the day, which is great considering I have this ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

I am allergic to everything. I am, honest. I have to take antihistamines all year round and I often itch like mad for no apparent reason. Due to this, I don't take selecting toiletries lightly and I almost never bother trying anything new. I can't remember what made me try Fructis for the first time, it must have been a very good offer. I do know that they stopped making my usual conditioner, and with hair like mine, I wasn't going to do without! ...
...new product on your hair, it always makes your hair feel really soft for the first few weeks. Fructis certainly did that and continues to do so now. My first reaction was that it didn't make me itch. I continued to use it and suffered no unusual reactions so I came to the conclusion that it is very gentle. The smell is gorgeous. It doesn't smell of one particular fruit, sort of a mixture of apples and oranges and lemons... I've used it for about ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

I think I’m quite reasonable when it comes to hair products, all I expect is for them to live up to thier promises. This shampoo does it very well. A long while ago a friend (who is a hairdresser) said it didn’t really matter what sort of shampoo you used, as they mostly all do the same thing. I now have to disagree with her after using this little gem of a shampoo. I have quite long hair, 4 or 5 inches further than my bra strap, however, ...
...I’m a bit of a skinflint I hardly ever get my hair trimmed - so this means the ends are really quite dry and a little split. It took me 4 attempts to buy the correct one (Fortifying Shampoo for Greasy Roots and Dry Ends) as there are sooooo many different types in the ‘Fructis’ range, but I’m glad I finally found the right one. It’s slightly thinner than most shampoos I’ve used before, and the smell can be a little ...

Yes I thought you would click on this, you sex mad lot. Sorry to disappoint you but i'm talking Fructis Shampoo and conditioner. I do like this range a lot, usually I've bought one, got one free offer, about £1.99 for both is a good buy, especially in some shops one item is £2.29 ish on it's own. I have been using the Fortifying shampoo and seperate conditioner. I use the one for coloured hair and frequent use. The ingredients in these products ...
...make it shiny. Also there are Vitamins B3, B6, Fructose and Glucose in it. To apply, it is best to put a little bit into your hand then mix with a little warm water,hairdressers say this way is better than applying it straight to your hair. Once lathered up apply to roots and massage in, you don't need to apply to the ends of your hair , as when you are rinsing it , the suds will flow through to the ends of your hair and give them all the wash ...

Review of Laboratoires Garnier Fructis

There are quite mixed opinions about fructis are there? It smells juicy and gorgeous, the packaging is fine, it doesn't really break the bank but what about it's results. I think that it's just too rich for people who can get greasy hair or even people with pretty normal hair. BUT, for people with damaged hair, or just really dry frizzy hair like me it really is a godsend. A word of warning though, i wouldn't use it too often or your hair sometimes ...
