Garnier Fructis Grapefruit Tonic Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Garnier Fructis Grapefruit Tonic Shampoo

Garnier Fructis is a brand I frequently find on sale, so I decided to give it a go. I picked up the "Grapefruit Tonic" line because it claims to promote shine without weighing down hair. I have incredibly thick and long hair so this sounded like an ideal product for me.

The smell is very light, it is distinctly grapefruit but doesn't have the typical acidic smell that usually goes along with citrus products. The smell is much stronger on the conditioner than the shampoo, but it doesn't last in my hair once I exit the shower.

The shampoo lathers quickly and turns into almost a feather light foam, so I could quickly cover all of my hair with minimal effort. The conditioner however is much thinner than I prefer and I found myself using almost twice as much as I usually do just to feel like I had properly saturated my hair.

After using this product for 2 weeks I haven't noticed any positive effects or any of its claims. My hair is clean, but it gets oily within 48 hours, is very flat and frizzy with minimal shine. I don't feel like this line is effective for my hair type, and I won't be purchasing this line again.
