Garnier Fructis Coconut Water Shampoo and Conditioner Review

For years now I have been using Salon bought Shampoo and Conditioner however recently I was given bottles of Garnier Coconut Water Shampoo and Conditioner so I decided to try these out.

I love that the bottles are not big and bulky so they do not take up heaps of room in my overnight bag or shower caddy.

The product smells divine (it helps that I am a huge coconut fan) and more importantly, it leaves my hair feeling soft and silky smooth.

A little bit of the conditioner goes a long way and creates a luxurious lather which is always important to me!

I’ll probably stick to this brand for sometime as not only is it working wonders on my hair but it’s ridiculously affordable.

I really enjoyed trying this shampoo and conditioner set as I have natural tendency for oily roots and as my ends have been bleached they can often be dry and frizzy.

The packaging is sleek and I prefer the new click lids on these bottles versus the old design. The bottle now stands up sturdy in my shower and closed with an audible click so no chance of leaks like the older ones. I do however miss the signature neon green bottle that was easier to spot on the shelf amongst the other colourful brands. The text is clearly written and it's easy to see which variant you are buying but the blue isn't as clear as the rest and may benefit from a different colour. I think the word shampoo and conditioner should be larger on these bottles or repositioned however to distinguish the two bottles more obviously. I don't like that standing the bottles up on their lids means the design ofis the shampoo is then upside down, but that is more my tendency for order than an issue. The only visual cue of which is which at a distance is the conditioner is the dark green bottle which is odd as usually it's the lighter in a set.

The smell is absolutely delicious and fruity, I loved showering with this and made me want to wash my hair daily.

Texture was nice and sleek for the shampoo, the colour is a pearlescent white and it's frothed up really easily. The conditioner was thick and white like a good moisturizer and felt like I was applying a mask to my ends.

It definitely cleaned my hair really well without feeling like it stripped my scalp of all the oil leaving it dry and more likely to make more! I even noticed less hair fall during this week :) My ends felt more nourished and very soft! However it didn't seem to help their frizzy nature.

Overall I like this shampoo and conditioner set, it's a good affordable price and i will continue to finish the bottle and see if it improves my hair over more time. I would personally repurchase this product as it does a good job for such combination hair on a tight budget.

This duo from Garnier is awesome for my hair, I'm so happy they've made a silicon free shampoo and conditioner, also recyclable bottles are great.

The shampoo has a refreshing scent and is of a gel-like texture. It takes a bit of extra rubbing to get the level of lathering in used to, but it does get there. This shampoo works really well for me, it makes my hair feel soft and a lot less oily.

I don't like the scent of the conditioner as much, as it's quite a bit stronger. But it does make my hair feel really nice during washing and once dry, it also doesn't weigh my hair down at all.

Using these products has been so helpful for my hair, usually my hair gets oily the second day after washing (especially at the front in my fringe). But with these I have 2 whole days of non-oilyness. My hair also has a whole lot more volume and curls than when using other shampoo and conditioner. It cleans and hydrates my hair just the right amount. I do find it gets knotty easier, but I'm willing to cope with that!

This new duo from Garnier is paraben and silicone free, with a combination of fruit and vitamins. Garnier claims this duo will deliver healthier, stronger hair. The combination if coconut water and purifying agents is said to rebalance and clean the scalp and cleanse and hydrate the ends. The product is targeted at oily roots and dry ends.

The shampoo and conditioner don't feel quite as natural as they are marketed to be, there is a distinct chemical fragrance and the feel the same as most other shampoos and conditioners. Given the emphasis on coconut water, I expected them to be more like clear liquid and coconut scented.

In terms of performance, the shampoo lives up to its end of the bargain, doing a good job of washing away the oily roots for a few days. The conditioner is less impressive in hydrating dry ends. I would still use a serum and a deep conditioning treatment. However, this duo plus those treatments can have the same type of result as a far more expensive hair care system, so this is still a great affordable option.

The area where I felt Garnier let consumers down the most was with their Terracycle scheme. On their bottles they encourage consumers to sign up for their Terracycle scheme and make a difference to how many products are thrown in the landfill. It is a great idea and the link is provided for both New Zealand and Australia. However while the Australian link works, the New Zealand link simply says to come back in 2018. Fortunately, as the bottles are made of PET, they can be recycled in New Zealand through your weekly recycling collection.

All in all, the product is affordable and good for oily roots, but dry hair. However to deal with those dry ends you need something like a serum. But even with having to buy a serum, it can be a much more affordable hair care system than some others that have similar results.

This range is paraben and silicone free, which is great for the hair. I love the vibrant green packaging , and that it is eco-friendly. It also snaps tightly closed, so you don't have to worry about product leakage, but it also opens easily enough in the shower.

Both products are quite fruity-scented, which is nice, but I was quite excited for a coconut scent, considering it advertises coconut water. The shampoo lathers well, and rinses out well too. The conditioner also applies easily and rinses out well. However, the range wasn't as great as expected. I felt that my roots were less oily, but my ends weren't super nourished. I still had to apply serum or oil in order to have nourished, smooth, sleek hair.

Overall, while this range wasn't outstanding, it did the job and was ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to get this range, but if I desperately needed something, I would get this.

I loved this shampoo and conditoner! I have tried quite a few shampoos and conditoners and this is right up there for a supermarket brand. I was quite skeptical considering the Garnier skin care products react with my skin (queue BB cream trial years ago). So i was pleasantly surprised that Garnier had brought out a product without silicon in it. I have thick hair so from the outright i knew i would need more product then normal.

First of all the packaging is great, it is a reasonable sized product and price compared to the organic brands in the supermarket.

The smell is beautiful not overly fruity and not coco nutty at all. I had to shampoo twice due to thick hair, but thankfully my hair didnt feel like it had been stripped which i have experienced with other shampoos and no yuck residue after rinsing the conditoner out.

I have managed to go three days between washing and my hair once straightened held for a lot longer as well.

So two thumbs up on these products, will buy again!!

I usually mix and match my shampoos with the remaining conditioners that have lost their pairs. But I’m glad i purchased an extra bottle of shampoo to use with the conditioner this time... as the subtly sweet and pearly white shampoo works quite well together with the creamy, milky white conditioner.

Although the conditioner doesn’t have that extra subtle fruity-sweet smell or that pearly appearance like it’s shampoo pair, the conditioner works no less.

The shampoo gently cleanses the hair while providing a nice, sweet, but subtle scent. Together with the appealing green bottles.. it does give a sense of purity. While on the other hand, the smooth conditioner works it’s magic... giving you that soft and silky-smooth hair you always wanted.

I do tend to lose quite a bit of hair after hair washing though.. so no different this time round. Although i do prefer if products can also help protect my scalp from loosing too much hair, this duo does create nice and soft, hydrated, healthy looking hair.

And I do recommend using the two together for optimal results.

I have a few thoughts on the two together. I definitely enjoyed the two products but wouldn't say I'd go out of my way to purchase this again as there are other shampoos I'd definitely go for instead. I also don't think the two are equally as good. I don't really see anything special about the conditioner but that it's silicone and paraben free which is really nice. I definitely prefer the shampoo over the conditioner as I do have quite oily hair and my hair did feel clean straight after and the day after I washed it. I would probably only purchase the shampoo again to be quite honest, as I don't think using the conditioner with the shampoo did much with helping my hair feel smoother or silkier than any other conditioner would.

Garnier is manufactured by Loreal. It used to be made in France but is now made in India so the French name's now somewhat obscure...

I thought the colour of the packaging was nice but the blue writing difficult to read... It didn't smell like coconut at all seemed like a watermelon smell, I didn't really like the smell.

The shampoo did make my scalp less oily but I got a bit of dandruff after using it and so did the rest of the family I put it down to the chemicals as it does have a lot of chemicals in. Which is probably due to it being a cheap supermarket shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner did make my ends nice and shiny and smoother. I think though that nothing beats an organic natural shampoo and it's worth the money. You get what you pay for. I liked the silicon and parable free ingredients, not many people know but silicon coats the hair to make it shiny so is like plastic coating your hair. Overall the shampoo did cleanse well and made my scalp less oily and the conditioner did make the ends of my hair smoother and shinier, but I felt like I'd had a harsh chemical wash it didn't feel natural or healthy on my skin
