Nice

6 days ago
This product is nice. It helps loosen knots but if you have a tighter curly pattern it doesn’t completely untangle the knots. Doesn’t leave your hair feeling dry or oily. Leaves a nice softness to your hair and leaves hair overall moisturized.

OBSESSED!

20 days ago
I have coarse wavy thick hair, and I made the mistake of waiting a couple days after swimming to try and brush my hair....holy rats nest, Batman! I have a LOT of hair, so it took about 40 sprays to saturate. After it sat for 5min, it only took about 15min to brush out! (This would normally take me about 40min, so my arms were very grateful for the rest). Also had about half the hair loss and breakage after brushing out as I normally do, and its left my hair sleek and manageable! Will definitely keep this in my arsenal

Good smell

a month ago
First off It smells amazing. Second, I feel it gave my hair that shiny finish that I love. Easy to use and it feels gentle in the hair because of the consistency not being thick. Overall I really like it, I love it in my curls but u can also use it as heat protectant. Will definitely keep buying it.

Hydrates and detangles

I have delicate, slightly wavy hair that tends to break easily. Brushing can easily cause damage, so I'm really pleased that this product detangles and protects my strands without weighing my hair down. It can also be used to refresh my hair. I took away one star because it would be perfect if it included a heat protectant. The fewer products you use, the better

Yes, I recommend this product.

Perfect curl refresher

a month ago
I normally don’t use Garnier Fructis for my curly hair. But I was pleasantly surprised on how well it detangled my hair. It absorbed very well into dry hair and it doesn’t smell over powering.
