While passing through Walmart the other day I noticed an entire isle devoted to the fruity, tantalizing formulas of Garnier’s
new hair care products. This colorful range is infused with reviving ingredients
that target your specific hair concerns and I find the natural elements very
enticing.
The blends include:
*Honey - to strengthen and heal damaged hair
* Indian Coconut Water & Madagascan Vanilla Milk - quenches
and softens
*Argan Oil & Cranberry - to protect color and reveal
radiance
*Coconut Oil & Cocoa Butter - tames and controls frizz
*Avocado Oil & Shea Butter - to deeply replenish and
restore
*Green Apple & Green Tea - to revitalize and boost shine
Since I love fresh avocado facials for seriously supple skin
I decided to try the Avocado & Shea Butter line. The ultra nourishing,
healthy fats have amazing moisturizing benefits for hair and skin and the only
reason I don’t use avocados in my treatments more frequently is because I also
love guacamole and end up devouring them! The shea butter is an added
bonus and the richness intensifies the replenishing properties of the formula.

The avocado in this collection is sourced from South Africa
and the Shea is from West Africa. Although the shampoo does contain Sodium
Laureth Sulfate (which I’m not a big fan of), the formula doesn’t dry out my
hair or make it unnaturally squeaky clean. I think the oils and fats from the
avocado and shea counteract the harshness of the sulfates to balance the
cleansing experience and leave the hair and scalp fresh and build-up free. I
also like that the texture is creamy, much like a shampoo-conditioner combo and
it lathers well without stripping or making my hair brittle. Although avocados
don’t have a pungent aroma it isn’t a scent most people want in their products.
The good news is that this collection smells nothing like avocado, it has more
of a light shea scent that smells great.
The conditioner is what really helps restore moisture to
make hair feel soft, smooth and fortified. This formula is thick and lush to
coat each strand without weighing down the hair. I like that the texture has
some slip which makes shower detangling a breeze and when you leave it on for 5-10
mins the ingredients do help rejuvenate dry, rough areas for body and
shine.
After using these (paraben-free) products my hair felt good but
for more softness, bounce and silkiness it would be beneficial to have the
avocado deep treatment that comes with this collection. For weekly shampoo and
conditioning I like it!
You can find Garnier hair care at drugstores nation wide
Hmm...this looks great and I'm very tempted to try it out!! But I'm a bit nervous about that sodium laureth sulfate! Brands should really invest in making sample sizes of these products. I don't want to waste money on something that won't work! Great info though!!
