Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Conditioner

Since Garnier first hit shelves I have been a fan. When the bold word NEW stuck out like eye candy on my Walmart shelf, I had to see what their newest additions had to offer.

I love trying new things, and continue to try new things because I like thinking that I am the first to try them. After trying them, I then love sharing my finds online through a review, whether they be good or bad.

Seeing how I already reviewed the shampoo, I wanted to share shampoos sister conditioner, Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Conditioner.

Packaging:


The conditioner comes in the same neon green stand up bottle that the shampoo comes in. As a matter of fact nearly all Garnier hair care products come in the same neon green bottle, making the line very easy to spot at stores.

The Promise:

According to the description on the bottle, it promised the same things that the shampoo promises. Clean hair, strengthening agents, and lightweight shine.

I figured the promise was a decent one, and hopefully it would work magic on my locks. Besides, who doesn't love shiny hair?

Scent:

Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Conditioner smelled just like the shampoo, only it was not as powerful. As a matter of fact it seemed slightly watered down.

It still though had that fresh, clean, fruit and citrus scent that Garnier fans already know and love.

My Use:

After shampooing I added a nice handful of the white colored conditioner to my palm. (I personally need to use a lot, I've got long thick hair)

The conditioner itself was thick, but not too thick. It had standard conditioner texture, but not runny like some Suave conditioners are. I would have liked it to be a bit more creamy though. Usually the more creamy the conditioner, the better. At least for those with thick hair like mine.

Next I basically saturated my hair in the conditioner, and let it sit in for 3 minutes, as directed.
As I ran it through my hair, I could feel how fast it went to work on breaking apart the knots in my hair. This occurrence usually means good things, so I had high hopes while applying the conditioner.

The next step of course is to rinse.

Results:

My hair felt really slick and smooth after rinsing Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Conditioner completely out. My hair was also left feeling moisturized, smooth, and clean.

Dry time though was a different story.

I got my usual amount of puff and frizz, which was expected.

After straightening my hair though, it did have a slightshine, but the shine is the same that I would get after any other shower. Nothing glowing here, nothing bursting either, same ol' same ol'.

My hair was Moisturized; yes. As far as shine goes though my my hair was the same as ever. Nothing major to report in the shine department.

Like the shampoo, Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Conditioner should of been labeled a moisturizing conditioner, and not a shine burst; because truly it didn't really add any more shine then I normally have.

Overall:

Even though Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Conditioner failed to add any high beam glossy shine to my locks, it did leave my hair very soft, manageable, and best of all, knot free.

The best thing about the conditioner though was that it left my hair very moisturized. My hair is usually dry to the touch; especially at the ends. So the conditioner is still a damn good one in my book.

I enjoyed Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Conditioner, and would purchase it again.

Although the conditioner didn't add much shine, I still like it, and would recommend it to those who have dry hair.

Pricing and Availability:

You can pick up a bottle of Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Conditioner at any local store that sells hair care products.

You can also find it online. A large bottle will come to around $4.00 or less. You truly cannot beat that price for what it does.

I could easily compare this low priced conditioner to high end hair products
