Garnier Fructis Coconut Water Shampoo Review

I bought this after reading some of the reviews on BR. I liked what people said and what it promises so had to find out for myself what the fuss was about. I have a scalp that is very temperamental so can be oily and other times very dry depending on the weather and whether or not I have coloured my hair. Now I am embarrassed to admit that I get dandruff pretty bad at times, dependent on my hairs behavior so I need a balanced scalp like it promises.

Now I never used to be a fan of Garnier Fructis anything so was hesitant but thought, what the heck let's do this we only live once. Although it looks much like the other Garnier Fructis range this one in particular looks fresh and chic. It's not as green and has more of a summer vibe to the appearance. The shampoo actually has the smell of fruit juice which is a heck of alot better than the other sickly fruit scents I have smelled. The consistency is alot lighter than their other shampoos which I love. I don't live full on creamy shampoo. I'd prefer a light feeling creaminess.

I use the size of an old 50c coin and lather it up in my hair, concentrating on the scalp rather than the lengths. I leave this in for 3 minutes so it has time to clean my scalp and my hair. Upon rinsing I am getting the familiar dry matted feeling. I don't love it but I know that some shampoo can do this before conditioning. I do have to admit my scalp feels refreshed even after the first wash.

I have at times repeated the wash to make sure I have gotten in to all areas. After 3 weeks now I am happy to report that I have way less dandruff and my scalp is less temperamental. Most days it behaves and is no longer oily.....winning at life! Although the just rinsed out feeling does not make my heart happy it's worth it to have the results I have now!

FINALLY I found myself a shampoo that can tame and nourish my thick, voluminous hair haha..

100% recommend this shampoo! The scent is subtle, slighty sweet, yet refreshing.

I usually need to wash my hair 3times to get through all my hair (shoulder length but coarse and thick) for it to feel clean. But with this shampoo believe it all not, I just needed to wash it once and it lathered up nicely amd once I rinsed it out, GUESS WHAT? my hair didn't feel dry and it didn't knot up! Yay.

I also did not use conditioner afterwards as my hair was completely hydrated and nourished straight away.

My hair was soft and fluffy for the first 2 days then started to tame down. It was soft and shiny a week later!

Absolutely love it and will forever be my number shampoo/conditioner.

Thanks garnier!

I’m always on the hunt for hair products that I don’t have to keep changing all the time unfortunately this one hasn’t made my top list.

I love the bright green bottles and the fresh coconut smell the first time I used it my hair wasn’t to bad but then I didn’t really notice much difference the more I used it which is a shame.

The kids love it because it’s in a bright Ottley and smells yummy and at that price you can’t really go wrong they think it’s a great treat.

Garnier fructis products have improved i must say. This shampoo comes in a nice clear green bottle with an easy to open and close ‘click’’clack’ lid.. Opening and closing it just sounds so satisfying hahahaha.

I love the subtle scent of this coconut water shampoo in comparison to the original stronger scented Garnier shampoos. It smells nice and light... simple yet refreshing.

The shampoo itself is smooth and thick. It lathers up well in my hair. I love how you only need a small squirt to make my hair nice and foamy... The foam gently cleans and hydrates at the same time.. So it didn’t dry out my hair or hands afterwards.

The roots of my hair felt nice and smooth the day after using it. I must must get that pairing conditioner and try that out too.

However, i did realise i had a couple of small odd bits of dandruff hiding on my scalp the next day.. but not like i have a lot, and it’s not very obvious. Maybe i should try out the one for dandruff and see if it gives me zero dandruff. I am also quite keen on giving others in this new range a go too.

I’m always on the hunt for hair products that delivers.....

I love the smell but that's unfortunately where it ends. I have thick, frizzy, uncontrolable hair and was hoping tjis shampoo would live up to its promises. Sadly, disappointed. Didn' t see any difference in my hair whatsoever, which is a shame.

The boys love it and have been using it for a couple of months now. Great price and available at all supermarkets.

I have thick, shoulder length hair which gets oily quite quickly. This is the first affordable shampoo I have used in a long time that actually works! The smell is really nice, not overpowering, and stays in my hair for the first day. My only gripe is I need to wash my hair twice in order for it to feel cleaner. But then again that makes it smell a little more like coconut too so can't really complain!

I get bad dandruff and out of all the garnier range shampoos, this one doesn't dry out my scalp as bad, must be the coconut water. So if you LOVE the garnier range and have a sensitive scalp like me, try this one!

I chose this shampoo as it’s supposed to be for oily roots and dry ends and that’s pretty much me. It also came in a recyclable bottle that another more expensive product didn’t. Starting to really love how ethical Garnier products are too. It does what it says and leaves my hair quite light and bouncy and even after 3 days my roots aren’t too oily so I think that works. I love the smell! It’s supposed to be coconut but I get cucumber and apple more. It does foam a lot on your second shampoo and I know that often happens with shampoos that have more soap and less shampoo but I’m good with that as it hasn’t done my hair any harm. I’ll always still use a conditioner with this one on my ends. Give it a try.
