Perfect curl refresher

5 days 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.

Smells so good ! 5 in one

13 days ago
I use this spray to detangle my hair after I get out of the shower , and it also works great for styling my hair when I want a nature textured look. It not only works amazing but it smells amazing . I get compliments on how my hair smells . The smell reminds me of being on a beach. I have a hard time detangling my hair because my head is so sensitive and this makes it much easier . It’s super light weight and it doesn’t leave any sticky residue .

Helped detangle my hair while keeping curls looking great. Smells amazing and is easy to use. My hair tends to get oily with product, but not with this one!

No more knots!

27 days ago
I tried the Garnier Fructis Curl Knot Melter, and it works really well for detangling. It instantly softens my hair and makes brushing through knots much easier without pulling or breakage. I noticed my curls looked more defined and less frizzy after using it, especially when applied to damp hair. The formula feels lightweight, so it doesn’t weigh my curls down or make them greasy. It also adds a nice shine and keeps my hair feeling smooth throughout the day. Overall, it’s a great everyday leave-in for curly or wavy hair, especially if you struggle with tangles.
