Fructis (Laboratoire Garnier) in General

This bottle looks like a light bulb. Or maybe an onion. It's definately a peculiar shape anyway. It's plastic, and the eye-damaging bright green colour that Fructis tends to have on its packaging, with an equally bright orange stripe across the middle. Nice. I haven't even got past to the packaging yet and already I want to make the company compensate me for eye damage, or at least buy me sunglasses. The bottle holds 150 mls of the aforementioned hair gunk. I actually got this for Christmas last year, and despite a years worth of on and off use, there is still half a bottle left, and that's not because I find the packaging offensive, it does ...  Read the complete review

I always change my shampoo and conditioner as Using the same one day in day out does not do your hair any good at all, and to be honest with you every single shampoo and conditioner that I use eventually has the same effect on my hair regardless of who makes it !!!

For the first few weeks of using my hair looks ...  Read the complete review

Hello again people, Well the only reason for trying this product was because I got a full bottle as a freebie for doing a survey on their site and not because of their long lasting quite frankly annoying advert campaign. They apparently have a new formula to the shampoo, well I wouldn't know as I haven't tried their old stuff but this seems nothing special. This new formula is meant to leave your hair cleaner, softer and shinier. Application after application, your hair is made stronger. The general description Garnier give their product is The Active Fruit Concentrate, For Hair that shines With All its Strength. Also a combination ...  Read the complete review

The advert for Laboratoires Garniers Fructis shampoos is one of the more seductive as far as shampoos go - "This adds body to your hair, makes it much stronger." Don't believe a nasty, conniving, deceitful word of it - Laboratoires Garnier have done us a grave disservice with this product. Me and Mrs d tried this hellborn concoction a couple of years ago, having been extremely impressed by all that advertising and those very attractive ads (you know the ones where the sex on legs people go bouncing around from settee to chair, with big grins on their faces, knotting their hair and pulling it hard to prove a point before they all go off ...  Read the complete review
