Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Shampoo

Garnier has always been one of my top picks for hair care products.

Garnier has never really failed me when it comes to giving me excellent results, good looking hair, and affordable hair care products.

A few weeks ago at my local Walmart I came across a sale I could not pass up. I grabbed two items on the shelf that looked like they would be something that I would like to try.

One of those products I picked up was Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Shampoo. I bought it simply because I wanted to see if it would add a burst of shine to my hair like they promised.

According to the bottles description, Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Shampoo would smooth out my hair, add lightweight shine, clean, and strengthen my hair.

It was a lot of little promises packed into one 25.4 ounce bottle. I also paired up and bought Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Conditioner (which I will review later on).

Packaging:

There really is not much to say about the bottle. Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Shampoo comes in a standard neon green plastic stand up bottle, with an easy to use click up cap. However a very cool shiny metallic silver label popped out and caught my eye. It read SHINE BURST. Without the eye catching silver label I would of likely passed it right up.

Scent:

To me nearly all Garnier products have this official Garnier scent that makes the brand recognizable amongst others. Its a clean, yet fruity scent at the same time, with a little spice of citrus that is energizing.

My Use:

In the shower I first saturated my hair with hot water, and then added about a handful of the shampoo to my locks.

As I was scrubbing the shampoo into my hair and scalp I liked how moisturized it made my hair feel (usually my hair feels really dry when I am using shampoo).

I also liked how the lather worked up quickly and easily.

The lovely clean fruity scent also filled the bathroom, and I hoped it would stick around after my shower.

After rinsing I was surprised to feel that Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Shampoo did in fact leave my hair moisturized, and knot free. For me after rinsing shampoo out, my hair is usually left feeling dry, parched, and thirsty for moisture, and most of all knotty.

It was notthe case while using Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Shampoo.

Overall Results:

My hair was left (obviously) very moisturized, and very soft after drying. I can't say much for shine though. My hair is usually always slightly shiner after showering.

After using Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Shampoo though, I can't really say that it added miraculous mirror like shine, because it didn't. My hair was as shiny as it usually is after a shower.

Overall though I enjoyed using it. It left my hair soft, clean, fresh smelling, and knot free and I adore it simply because of that.

Added shine would of been nice too, but for me Garnier Fructis Shine Burst Fortifying Shampoo did a fine job in every other department. I do think that it should be classified as a moisturizing shampoo instead of a shine enhancing shampoo though.


Price:

You can pick up a large bottle for about $4.00. In my opinion it is $4.00 well spent.

Recommendation:

I highly recommend it to those looking for relief for dry hair. It did quite a number on my dried out over-processed hair, so...yeah, I recommend it.
