Last month I noticed that Garnier Fructis was giving out free samples of their
newish marvelous oil. I have wanted to
try an oil treatment for my hair for the longest time, and I was really excited
that they were offering samples. I put
in my information, and then I started to wait.
It took around four weeks to get here, maybe a little less, and then I
waited two weeks until I was ready to try it.
They offer three different types, the one that I got, deep nourish,
then they have one for color treated hair and then one that is for frizzy
damaged hair. If they’re still offering
samples, then you’ll get the marvelous oil, you don’t get to choose, which is
fine by me.
Let me tell you a little bit
about my hair. I have straight
hair. I can’t do much to it because it
all just falls out. Even teasing dirty
hair, with dry shampoo and hair spray it tends to fall flat. I also have a tendency to touch my hair/
scratch my head and my hair get super greasy really fast. Even without a lot of touching it tends to
get greasy. I do sometimes deep cleanse
my hair, just in case of product build up, but I don’t have a scheduled timing
for that. I just do it when I remember.
I also don’t get regular haircuts. I’ll sometimes take scissors to the ends of
my hair, but I probably only get my hair cut by someone twice a year. So, as you probably can guess, my ends get a
little dry and frizzy looking. That’s
why I have been wanting to try an oil treatment.
The oil itself, at first, smelled a little bit
like coconuts, but as I was putting it through my hair, the coconut smell went
away, and a light sweet smell took its place.
I love the way it smells. There
are five ways that you can use this oil. Those ways were mentioned, but the
full instructions were not included. I had to visit the website to see which
way I could use it. (if it had to be dry or wet hair.)
This is what the website told me:
Use in any of 5 ways:
1. Pre-Shampoo Treatment: apply to wet or dry hair before shampooing to prime
hair for gentle cleaning.
2. Conditioner Booster: Add 1 or 2 drops to conditioner to improve detangling.
3. Blow-Dry Accelerator: Apply to damp hair to dry faster than a conditioning
cream leave in.
4. Ends Finisher: Apply to damp or dry ends to smooth split ends and tame
flyaways.
5. Overnight Leave-In: Work into wet or dry hair, leave in overnight to restore
softness.
I decided on the overnight repair on wet hair.
I used the whole sample, but I think that was a
little bit too much, because I can feel a little bit of residue. Not while touching my hair, but on my hands
after. My ends are very soft, I can
definitely feel a difference. I don’t
see a difference in the shininess, but I have naturally shinny hair. I wouldn’t say that it’s lightweight.
In the end, would I suggest this
to a friend? Yes. Would I go out and buy a bottle? Yes. I
plan on it. I like the way my hair
feels. It’s super soft and I like the
smell. I don’t know if the others have
different smells to them, I might go to the store and see soon.
If you have tried Garnier Fructis
Marvelous oil, did you like it? Let me
know.
