HOW TO START A PURE CLEAN HAIR ROUTINE

Refresh. Hydrate. Define. The Garnier Fructis Pure Clean collection harnesses the power of Aloe Extract and Vitamins B3 & B6 to gently cleanse, condition, and style all hair types — with zero silicones, parabens, or compromise.

When: Use the Pure Clean Shampoo and Conditioner as often as needed — the gentle, silicone-free formula suits all hair types and won't strip natural oils. Follow with the Detangler on damp hair after every wash for knot-free, manageable results.

Tips for you: Massage shampoo into your scalp for 1–2 minutes to fully activate Aloe Extract and Vitamins B3 & B6 for a deeper cleanse. Apply Detangler section by section from ends to roots — no rinsing needed. Let hair air dry for best lightweight results.

Finish your routine your way — choose the Pure Clean Gel for defined, long-lasting hold, or the Pure Clean Paste for flexible, natural-finish texture. Both are made with plant-derived Acacia Gum and Aloe Extract for clean performance with no flaking, no stickiness, no compromise.

When: Style with Gel or Paste after your wash routine — or anytime you want to refresh your look. Apply to damp hair for stronger hold and definition, or to dry hair for added texture and a natural, workable finish. Use as needed, any day of the week.

Tips for you: For best results, start with a small amount — you can always add more. Gel works best applied to soaking wet or damp hair combed through from roots to ends. Paste performs best on dry or slightly damp hair — warm it between your palms first to activate and evenly distribute.

Fantastic Product

8 years ago
I purchased this on a whim. I have very long and thick hair that I could never air dry because my h air would still be wet 24 hours later. My hair dries in less than two hours and it is not frizzy or difficult to brush. If it is going to be discontinued, I need to know so I can stock up! Not needing to dry my hair is fantastic!!!

Not a detangler

8 years ago
I bought this thinking it would be a great leave in conditioner and detangler. It is the worst detangler I have ever purchased. It dries out my hair and actually caused it to tangle up. It felt like I sprayed hair spray on my hair and the tried to comb it. Not a good product Garner!

Makes tangles worse and hair stiff

4 months ago
This is NOT a detangler. It makes the tangling WORSE. With the alcohol ingredient that are in it, it dries hair out, makes hair stiff (I've tried not using very much at all, too) , and it's REALLY hard to comb through. I would not buy this product again and wish I could get my money back. If you have a hard time combing through your hair because of tangles, I promise you - this will NOT help at all.

No, I do not recommend this product.

If you're looking for a detangler stay away

6 months ago
I was really excited to try this product, but unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. As soon as I sprayed it into my hair, it left a strange, dry texture instead of making it feel smooth. When I tried brushing, my hair became even more tangled—despite this being marketed as a detangler. I thought using more product might help, but it only made the tangling worse. I couldn’t get the knots out at all. This product did the opposite of what it claims to do, and I would not recommend it.

No, I do not recommend this product.

A Huge Disappointment

4 years ago
My hair is very fine and fragile so, even after conditioning, I like to use a detangler to comb it out. This product is truly the worst such detangler I have ever used. Not only did it not work, it actually made my wet hair harder to comb. I used it once (because I was traveling and had no options. When I got home I tried it one more time and determined that I was no crazy. I had to discard the rest of the product. I am not a person who goes out of her way to submit negative product reviews, but this one is worth a warning.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I love this product! I have thick hair down to the middle of my back and I haven't had to apply any heat to my hair to tame the frizz or get kinks out. It drys smooth, soft and straight as if I got blow out I just add a little root boost and its perfection! I've told all my girlfriends about it and got them hooked. Loving this for my quick out the door mama hair.
