If this shampoo is discontinued, I may cut my hair

5 years ago
Since adolescence, I have tried to grow my hair out multiple times. I am a Creole (multi-racial) gentleman from New Orleans, where the humidity is usually higher than the temperature [literally, it is]. Even in wintertime, if I let my hair down outside, it would frizz and kink up in mere minutes and leave me looking like a brown dandelion. I started growing it out again about five years ago, mostly because after relocating out of my hometown in 2006, every barber or stylist would cut it WAAAYYYY too short every. single. time.... If left untreated after a wash, my curls are like tight, tangled corkscrews, simply brushing and drying my hair normally left me with awful split ends and a dull, dried out frizzy mess. It was brittle and often brushing when dry would just break the hairs in two. One summer when my AC went out, it got so frizzy, tangled, (and hot) that I just cut it myself to a medium length because the tangles proved too worthy of an adversary. Later that summer, I had read an article about the remarkable Moroccan Argan oil industry, and of course the miracle product itself. I noticed this product on a TV ad, and the store I went to had coupons right on the bottle. My hair is near perfect now. Very manageable, soft, and the aroma I get from it, even days after a wash, is so nice, it's almost intoxicating. Recently, I have had serious trouble finding it in the Chattanooga, TN metro area, so I came here, worried that it had been discontinued. I want to order a case of everything!! lol I simply could not have long, soft, manageable hair before discovering these miracle products. I would recommend it to everyone, and I often do. DON'T EVER STOP MAKING IT!! This shampoo and conditioner is an essential part of my personal regimen, and I simply wouldn't have my long hair without it. When I've been unable to find it in stores a couple of times over the years, I've tried other Argan oil shampoos and conditioners, but they just don't cut it at all. No other products make my hair shiny, strong, soft, manageable, or give me desired volume without it looking very oily. The wonderful aroma is also unique to this product, and no other has EVER left my hair smelling nice between washes like Garnier Whole Blends does. Thank you, Garnier, and special thanks to the great tradeswomen of Morocco for sharing this amazing Argan oil with the rest of us. <3 --Hank

Shiny hair, itchy scalp

6 years ago
I wanted to love this because I truly did notice a difference in softness and shine after using it. Ever since the first time I used it, my scalp has been flaking. I've never had an issue with flakes and itchiness before, and using this shampoo was the only change in my hair routine and it gets better when I try a different shampoo.

I was excited to purchase this product (along with the conditioner) since the Coconut Water versions are so nice. I wanted a little bit more shine and the Moroccan Argan & Camellia Oils products have good reviews. They may be effective but I just can't get past the fragrance. My hands still smell like the shampoo even after several washings. I'm kind of afraid to try any of the others. I'll be donating these to a shelter.

No, I do not recommend this product.

I have been looking for a shampoo for years, buying different ones about twice a month. I had already tried the honey shampoo and conditioner by your brand, and have continued to use it. I saw this one for the first time and used it. Wow it is amazing!!! Smells great, when I washed and conditioned and rinsed I immediately noticed a difference in my hair so so soft and could comb through with fingers with no tangles!!!!! When my hair dried it looked so amazing full soft shiny and beautiful!!! It is perfect!!!!!! Thankyou finally I have found the perfect one!!!! Please like everyone else is saying so not ever get rid of it!!

Same with the sleek and shine shampoo but this right here this is EVERYTHING from the packaging to the smell to the actual product and what it does for me. I use this with the matching conditioner and my hair is the softest, shiniest, just most gorgeous it’s ever been! All their shampoos are sooo good idk who is behind this brand but wow! Please garnier don’t ever discontinue this product I would be devastated. I’m really in love

It Turned My Child’s Hair Yellow/Orange

5 years ago
I washed my 3 year old’s hair with the shampoo and conditioner and it turned it a yellowish orange in the back. She had really light blonde hair. I hate how it looks in the back!! It’s close to the color of the conditioner. It’s an OK shampoo and conditioner, nothing amazing for my family.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: This shampoo is good for hair fall ?

6 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hi Esha! The Illuminating Shampoo with Moroccan Argan and Camellia Oils Extracts is a great choice for hair in the normal range that needs moisture and shine. For damaged hair prone to breakage, use the Honey Treasures shampoo and conditioner to repair and strengthen weak hair. This blend will restore the softness to brittle hair, add needed moisture and resist breakage.

  • A: Hi Peggysuewho! Thank you for your interest in 12.5 fl oz Whole Blends Moroccan Argan & Camellia Oil Illuminating Shampoo. To maintain and protect color we would recommend using Whole Blends Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner. This is safe for color-treated hair; however, does not protect the color from fading too quickly. We hope this information is helpful.
