Thanks to BzzAgent, I recently tried out
Garnier Fructis' new line of shampoo and conditioner called Hydra Recharge. It is a system of shampoo, conditioner, and a 1-minute treatment meant to hydrate dry, frail hair. This line has the tasty scent and great healing and hydrating powers of goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi. The shampoo has little vitamin beads in it that burst to give you nutrition while exfoliating your scalp which helps to clean, stimulate growth and increase hair hydration! You may be thinking, what if these beads stay in my hair...gross! I can assure you, however, that all the beads will burst as you massage the gel through your hair and will rinse with the suds made. The conditioner is a seafoam green color and feels like butter or mayonnaise on your hair (without the smelliness or stickiness of course) and is just so rich and smooth and makes your hair feel so soft even before you finish your shower! The 1-minute treatment is the same idea as the conditioner but is meant to be used on occasion as an extra-hydrating conditioning step for less frizz and more sleekness and shine. I use the treatment about once a week and it keeps my hair extra soft for the rest of the week.

wearing some super awesome Garnier Fructis BB Cream!
Watch for my review on that product soon!) |
Usually after I test a product, even if I do enjoy it, I pass it onto my husband and try something new. Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge, however, has been a different story. Once in a while there is a product that I absolutely fall in love with and I can honestly see a difference so I will keep on using it until I need to try something new and then I will go right back to it again after. This is one of those products that I have noticed such a difference with and I have been using it now for weeks and still loving it. With most shampoo and conditioner, the first few days of use I can tell a difference...softer hair, more shine...but those effects wear out by the next week and my hair starts to go back to the usual sticky, dry that it is. For this reason, I tend to switch up shampoo and conditioner every week so that I can feel that fresh start. I have not had to yet with Hydra Recharge which to me is amazing. I rarely speak this highly of a product unless I am smitten and I truly am. Continued use only seems to be making my hair better. I can even let my hair dry naturally and I have very little frizz after and I don't even have all my usual frizz from the rainy, humid weather we have here. I highly recommend this product to anyone with dry, frizzy hair or anyone who wants a hair product that works consistently. I have frequently used the 'more expensive' brands as well and not even those can compare! I'd say these are quite worth the money!
Speaking of money, Garnier is one of the 'cheaper' brands, but their quality begs to differ. I have always been somewhat a fan of Garnier but have strayed away since I found some new products, however, each newly-formulated hair product and each brand new hair product line have made me very pro-Garnier. They are also one of the brands that regularly gives out great coupons as well so their products are pretty much always in your budget. I give Hydra Recharge and the
Garnier brand in general a 5 star rating. I know there are a few products I have not liked even in the recent past, but they always bring me back with the next great product. So try some out for yourself and let me know what you think because I think this line of theirs is simply wonderful.
