Review of New Garnier Fructis 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment, Triple Nutrition

-My Review also on AC

Recently I came across a new collection of products from Garnier Fructis. In the winter months my hair seems to become more dry than usual so I wanted to begin to prepare it early on for the freezing cold weather that seems to dry my hair out like nobody's business.

Their new collection of products is called Triple Nutrition, and when you are out in stores this week, I recommend you pick up their
3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment, Triple Nutrition.

The dryness reversal treatment comes in a standard green, stand up, squeeze tube, and will be easily located in the hair care section of local stores. You can find it amongst the crowd of other Garnier Fructis products, so spotting it should not be a problem.

The promise is to not only moisturize hair, but to keep hair as healthy as possible using the formulas fruit oils to nourish the hair. The treatment is supposed to be added to hair after shampooing for 3 minutes.

Scent:

In the store I popped the top, and inhaled the scent. Garnier Fructis 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment, Triple Nutrition smelled fantastic, like a beautiful fruity fragrance that reminded me a lot of one of Britney Spears' perfumes.

My Use:

After shampooing I squeezed a decent amount of the treatment out into my palm. I noticed immediately that this treatment had some sort of micro-beads within it. As I rubbed the treatment into my hair the micro-beads began to melt, and were no longer detected.

I liked it a lot though, because if you rub it in your scalp you feel a slight exfoliation which will stimulate the hair follicle.

I let the treatment sit in for a full 3 minutes and began to rinse it out. Immediately as I began to rinse I could feel the change in the shower. My hair felt like buttery silk. There were no snarls or knots.

I had a good feeling before even getting out to dry my hair, that the treatment worked some sort of magic, and I had a hunch that I was going to like the results.

Sure enough I did. When my hair was fully dry (I allow my hair to air dry), there was way less frizz, and no notes of dryness whatsoever. My hair was left shiny, knot free, dabbed with a beautiful sweet fruity scent, and looking and feeling fantastic.

Revlon Flex Triple Action Moisturizing Shampoo for Dry, Permed or Color Treated Hair

The only reason I decided to buy Revlon Flex triple action...lie, gimmick, garbage, lie... shampoo.
It was because I had the symptoms that the bottle promised it could cure. I had recently dyed my hair, and I noticed how it was drier than usual.

Strolling around in the hair product section looking for a moisturizer for my hair, I picked it up. REVLON FLEX TRIPLE ACTION SHAMPOO FOR DRY, PERMED OR COLOR TREATED HAIR.

Hmm.. will repair dry hair eh?

Add moisture hm?

Will not wear out my hair color.


Yeah right!?!?!?

So I go home, try it out in the shower.

I liked the smell, I guess that was about the only thing I liked.

Once out, wondering if my hairs texture was going to have that smooth silky feel as promised and with more moisture.

So I straighten my hair as normal.

ONLY...

I cant, this stuff gave my hair which is normally thick, so much more body, that I had an Afro which was totally unmanageable.

I actually got back into the shower to re-do everything all over again, only this time not using the Revlon's broken promise.

I returned the unused potion back to the store, noting to myself to never ever buy anything that says FLEX on it.

NOTE:

FLEX MEANS AFRO!!!!!



Did it do what it promised? Was it effective?

No it sure did not!

» Did it improve the way your hair looks or feels?

Yes, it gave me a new style known as an Afro puff.

» What do you love or hate about it?

I hated everything about how it made my hair, the smell was nice, but other than that it was useless.

» What is it like using this product?

Its like adding 4 inches of body to your hair. May be good for people with thin hair, but I wouldn't recommend it for people who already have thick or nappie like hair.

» Who should buy this product? Who shouldn't?

People with thin hair may like it, people with thick hair steer clear.

» Why did you purchase this product?

The promises on the bottle.

Only they never mentioned how it would add so much body!

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Healthy Attitude Leave In Nourishing Spray

You win some, and you lose some.

I purchased John Frieda’s sheer blonde healthy attitude leave in nourishing spray only because the conditioner I had purchased had worked so well.

ABOUT MY OUT OF CON-’TROLL’ (STRAW) HAIR:

My hair is thick and unruly, and after major self-dye (destroying) jobs it was in dire need of some nourishment. My hair was equivalent to scarecrows hay body stuffing at the ends. Dry, gasping for moisture, fried, frizzled, split; you name it, my hair suffered from it.
Oh and did I mention I’m a self-made blond? Yeah I’m a fake and proud of it; fake hair color, fake nails, fake eye color sometimes as well. I love the self-body artwork I created.
But all you natural blonde's (hmph) can also use this product. It was probably meant for you anyways.

THAT GUY IS SO PUSHY!

I stood there staring down the $8 bottle, wondering if I should just return it to its counter space and quickly walk away and move on to my bed head friend, before I threw down close to 10 bucks on this stuff.
But then John Frieda started urging me to buy it as I began to walk away from the shelf, he promised to strengthen my hair, and repair its damage. John Frieda also told me that if I bought his product for $8 that it would brighten my dull blonde hair, he said that it would infuse my dry hair with essential vitamins and protein. Best yet it would prevent frizzled fried hair. How could you lose?

God he is so good with tricking gullible gals like me with his promises of Goldilocks like hair. I was sold! I took the bottle home and put it to the test.

I read the bottle before I took his advice completely, Super concentrated leave-in formula conditions hair with pro-Vitamin B5. (Oh that sounds nice), nourishing honey (Oh I like the smell and taste of honey) and wheat germ extracts (that sounds yucky, I don’t know what that is). Instantly replenishes lost moisture (Oh yeah!) and penetrates areas prone to splitting from heat styling and over processing (Ohhh Yeeeaaa). Won't dull, darken or weigh down blond color, hair will look light and bright. (Sweet! It’s just what I’ve always wanted)

HOW DO YOU USE THIS STUFF?

I took my normal shower, and I can brag that yes, I took a shower using his products, because John Frieda recommends you use all of his products for best results. I find this to be untrue; but anyways I’m a sucker like that.

I towel dried my hair, I shook the bottle well, like it said to, sprayed it in my hair generously, and I rubbed it throughout my hair. I also sprayed a little extra on my dead ends, those were the little buggers I wanted to get rid of most, and so I sprayed the heck out of them.
I noticed the stinky smell immediately. Its sort of the same chemical smells all of John Frieda’s products smell like. It’s not pleasant, and sort of gives off a hairspray type aroma. It’s a mild smell, but it still stinks and you end up gagging if you happen to be spraying this on yourself when you enclosed in a small bathroom.

(The bottle also cautions you to not spray it in your eyes! Gee! Really? Gosh!
Also you may want to keep this stuff out of reach of children. They might drink it or do something crazy with it that kids do these days.)

WAS YOUR HAIR PRETTY?

I was disappointed when my hair dried to see that my head was sort of stiff, and my ends were all stuck together hard as rock. I didn’t see any new glisten or shine to my hair or brightness to my hair like John Frieda said I would. Liar! Of course my hair is now protected, its covered in a stiff silicone seal, water couldn’t even get in!

I gave the product the benefit of the doubt; I figured it wouldn’t show a difference in only one use, so I really put this bad boy to the test. I used it for about a month, and used less on my ends. It didn’t do anything if you used less. I figured after long-term use, perhaps then I would see a change in the color, Shine, and overall health of my hair.

THEN WHAT HAPPENED?

After about a month of regular use, and not seeing a difference at all, and living with stiff hair for quite some time, I filled the half empty bottle with water and returned it. Is that bad? Haha.

OH DEAR JOHNNY

I felt ripped off, and cheated, and lied to, and I think we’re going to have to stop seeing each other. I wrote John a letter somewhat like that. He said he’d give me some free samples, and some coupons and that he was sorry. Hmph!
