Okay. Bzzagent sent me some more products for free to test out. This time it was Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge. They sent a full bottle of shampoo, conditioner, and 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment. Okay, first? Let's talk about my hair. I'm going blonde. So, I have really brittle, damaged, dry, and bleached hair. It's thin and it's long. So I have a lot to work with, but I try really hard to take care of my hair. I use Clairol 4Plex Professional Shampoo and a salon brand conditioner that contains soy proteins. You could say I'm hard to please given the circumstances of my regular products. So, please keep that in mind as I review these three products. We will talk about the shampoo first. It contains little ?encapsulated beads? that are supposed to be awesome for your hair. I was really excited about it because I had never seen a shampoo with beads in it. They gave me a breakout on my scalp. It was awful. The shampoo really dried out my hair compared to my 4plex. Once I rinse my shampoo out, I immediately run my fingers through my hair to determine the dryness level to know how much/how long to leave my conditioner in. This leaves it feeling like straw. It's very tangly. The regular use conditioner is nothing to write home about. It equals to all other in store products you can buy at Walmart, etc. (By the way, this is is available at Walmart if you want it.) I won't say it's bad, but it's not good either. It just depends on what you like and what you normally buy. Now, let's talk about the 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment. Here are two statements from them on this product: ?Hair is ultra-hydrated, weightlessly silkier and softer? ?Lasting hydration without heaviness? Here is my response to those statements: LIES. Seriously, I'm not so sure what Garnier's deal is with claiming ?weightlessness,? but it's not. It's everything but. I know that this is potentially a large problem for a lot of people, but I like it. I like the fact that when I put the moisture plenish in my hair, I know I'm not going have huge clumps of frizzy, light, fly away mess. What I don't like is that Garnier says the exact opposite about the product. It's pretty much the most false advertising I've seen. So, I literally use this as a weight for my hair for easier styling. I like it and it's not a salon brand conditioner, but it does help add some extra softness. All this being said, I'm giving the regular shampoo and conditioner (I disclosed I'm a bzzagent) to a friend who has extremely dry and ridiculously curly hair. I've asked her to report back to me her findings. So, I'll update in a couple days when she's had time to use it. My curly-headed friend really loves this shampoo and conditioner. It gives her hair the weight it needs and the the conditioner is softer than most for her hair. She's really happy with it. At least someone will get use out of it!
