Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge


Being a BzzAgent, I was chosen to test out a few of the new Garnier Fructis hair care products in their Hydra Recharge Fortifying Shampoo, Conditioner and 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment for Dry Hair.  I had used their various hair care and styling products in the past.  Some of their products on my hair were wonderful, especially their Wonder Waves Shampoo while others were just so-so that is until I experimented with these three products.

Geared for those with dry hair, the Hydra Recharge line has goji berry, passion fruit, and kiwi to help hydrate hair without weighing it down.

Unlike that sour smell I associated with some of their earlier shampoos I had tried in the past, the Hydra Recharge formulation has a sweeter fruit scent, which was a wonderful beginning.  Lathering up was so pleasant as I worked this rich foam through my hair.

I followed next with a small amount of the Hydra Recharge Conditioner after rinsing my hair and squeezing out the excess water.  I left this conditioner on for about a minute and rinsed before towel drying.

Since I was anxious to see what my hair looked like, I only applied some styling gel to my long bangs before grabbing my blow dryer. 

The surprising part was how this shampoo and conditioner managed to turn my slightly layered hair into a thick mass of voluminous curls without any styling mousse.  As I mentioned, I do have some natural wave in my hair and go to either smooth or make more of my curls. 

Another thing I want to explain was how incredibly shiny and extra soft those strands I stroked felt.  It truly boggled my mind.

The next time I shampooed, I gave myself the 1-Minutes Moisture-Plenish Treatment.  This is a hair mask that you leave for a minute before rinsing.  This seemed to turn my hair's new brilliance up even more, which was so hard to believe.

My hair is thick and dry, but not coarse and these products worked like champs for me.  I highly recommend picking them up if you also have the same type of hair!

Great job on this one, Garnier Fructis!
