    My hair fell out!

    by jacquelinemarie (11 reviews)
    Garnier Fructise smells great, but around the time I started using it, I noticed I was shedding hair a lot more. My mom was also trying it out, and noticed the same thing.

March 25, 2008, 5:05 pm Garnier Fructise smells great, but around the time I started using it, I noticed I was shedding hair a lot more. My mom was also trying it out, and noticed the same thing. A friend of mine said she and a friend of hers also used it and their hair fell out too. It wasn't scary clumps, but still. We all have blond hair, I'm not sure if there is a connection there or not. But I have also heard many people had no problems at all with it. March 25, 2008, 5:05 pm

    Healthy hair need not apply

December 4, 2007, 2:25 pm If you have already healthy and silky hair, don't expect amazing results from this product. Instead of "fortifying" my hair, washing with this made my hair extremely greasy and oily. For a few weeks I tried switching between this and another product every other night, and the Fructis consistently made my hair heavy and oily. If you have colored, treated or dry hair, this is probably best for you. If not, I recommend staying away from it. December 4, 2007, 2:25 pm

    what a nice surprise!

November 25, 2007, 6:10 pm I usually get sucked into buying very expensive salon shampoos, and am usually not impressed with the results. I decided to try this shampoo, along with the conditioner, and I have to admit, it is better than any of the expensive brands I have tried before. I repeatedly come back to it, and for the price, is a terrific product. I don't know about it being "fortifying", as the commercial says, but it really makes your hair smooth and shiney. I even started using their accesory products (mousse, gel, etc). November 25, 2007, 6:10 pm

    ugh

    by browneyes (6 reviews)
    It leaves my hair hard to brush. When I was using this and I would brush my hair, my hair would be everywhere! It's like it was making it fall out or something. So I stopped using it and havent had a problem since. December 7, 2007, 10:26 pm

    this stuff is great!

After reading the other reviews some people say that it leaves their hair feeling dirty. That's what I found with brands like Herbal Essences and Pantene Pro V. This brand leaves my hair very soft and clean. I have never had problems with it! November 24, 2007, 4:09 pm

    Surprisingly good.

    by Crystal8608 (3 reviews)
    I must admit that the commercials for this product are what motivated me to try them out. I used it hesitantly because I know that not all products work on people of color.

November 20, 2007, 3:11 pm I must admit that the commercials for this product are what motivated me to try them out. I used it hesitantly because I know that not all products work on people of color. But it actually worked and made my hair soft and it didn't dry out either. Plus, it did its main purpose of making my hair clean and fresh. I'd definitely use it again or try some of its other products. November 20, 2007, 3:11 pm

    Great Price for Effect

Garnier products are very effective in solving my problems and they smell good. Plus, it's very affordable so it's a new favorite. November 17, 2007, 8:44 pm

    Excellent product

    by SlytherinSarah (3 reviews)
    I would bleach my hair every two weeks and dye it pink or purple or blue or orange. Once my hair broke off in chunks every time I ran a brush through it, I decided to do something about it, short of pulling a Britney Spears.

November 12, 2007, 8:04 pm I would bleach my hair every two weeks and dye it pink or purple or blue or orange. Once my hair broke off in chunks every time I ran a brush through it, I decided to do something about it, short of pulling a Britney Spears. I stopped bleaching it and did nothing but buy this shampoo and matching conditioner. Within two to three weeks, I wasn't scared to brush my hair anymore. It revived my hair. I'd recommend this to anybody with damaged hair. November 12, 2007, 8:04 pm

    Grapefruit Scented

    by mamacita11 (233 reviews)
    I love the scent of this shampoo. Grapefruit supposedly makes others perceive you as younger and even suppresses your appetite. When looking for a shampoo I always go for the scent first and foremost. However I also like variety which is why I'm willing to pay a little more from time to time for better product. I use this ... November 2, 2007, 11:59 pm I love the scent of this shampoo. Grapefruit supposedly makes others perceive you as younger and even suppresses your appetite. When looking for a shampoo I always go for the scent first and foremost. However I also like variety which is why I'm willing to pay a little more from time to time for better product. I use this occasionally. If I buy a drugstore brand it is this one. November 2, 2007, 11:59 pm

    Great product at a bargain price

    by kjryan (3 reviews)
    Forget the salon shampoos, your just paying for the good smell and the brand name. This is a great shampoo for daily use. It's not over drying, though depending upon you hair type, you will probably want to use the conditioner as well. Give it a try. Note: Coupons are often available online or in the newspaper coupons.
