Garnier Fructis Leave-In Conditioning Cream Sleek & Shine — 

As I read the other reviews for this product, I realized they were written mostly by women looking to control their curls and frizz.  Many wrote about their thick, unmanagable hair and that the Garnier Fructis Leave-In Conditioning Cream Sleek & Shine worked wonders for them.  I am about to write the same thing, but to the product's credit, I have incredibly thin, very straight hair!  That is good news for women everywhere - a product that works across the board!

My relationship with leave-in conditioners is a long and painful one.  My search for a product that conditions deeply but doesn't weigh my hair down was totally fruitless.  Nothing was working; either it didn't condition at all or it left me looking greasy [one of my biggest pet peeves].  I had given up.  Garnier Fructis Leave-In Conditioning Cream entered my life by pure chance; my mother was re-stocking her guest bathroom and picked some up because it was so well-priced.  I went to stay with her and figured I'd give it one last shot.  The rest is history - my outlook on leave-in conditoner changed forever!

This is the real deal but you have to be careful about how much you use!  That is the key.  I think so many women are accustomed to using half the bottle; we are conditioned as Americans, even, to use too much of everything. Just a dime-sized amount for short hair and a quarter-sized amount for long hair should do the trick.  I also found it helpful to blow dry on the days you use it as opposed to air-drying; the heat helps disburse the product in your hair and also helps to evaporate some of the pesky oil residue.

  • Ranges from $5.50 to $7 for 10.2 OZ at drugstores
  • Lasts a long time if used sparingly!
  • Helps the upkeep of your hair between trims

This is one of their products I haven't tried. I'll be looking for it now though! Thanks.

No idea! I think maybe when people caught on to the fact that it works!

Do try it! I think the ladies who didn't like it were using too much - that's the only thing that would make you dislike this product! Let me know what you think if you do get it! Thanks for the kind words, too :o)
