Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Shampoo with Argan Oil, 650 ml

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Shampoo is a paraben-free cleanser built around fairly and sustainably sourced argan oil from Morocco, aimed at frizzy, dry, hard-to-manage hair. One wash works through the lengths and scalp, then rinses out. The bottle is a value 22 fl oz, so it suits regular washing.

What argan oil brings to this formulae

Argan oil is the headliner Garnier calls out, and the brand says it is fairly and sustainably sourced from Morocco. In this shampoo it is described as soaking into frizzy, dry hair to smooth each strand. Alongside it sits Active Fruit Protein, Garnier's blend of citrus protein, Vitamins B3 & B6, fruit and plant-derived extracts and strengthening conditioners. The formulae is also paraben-free. Those are the named elements Garnier lists; full INCI details are not given on this page.

Who this shampoo suits

It is designed for frizzy, dry and unmanageable hair. If your hair poufs up, tangles easily or will not sit smooth, that is the hair type this formulae targets. Garnier describes the wider Sleek & Shine system as helping manage the look of frizz even in 97 percent humidity, and says the three-step routine of shampoo, conditioner and leave-in cream can give up to 3 day sleek results. On its own, the shampoo is the first step of that routine.

How much to use and how to wash

Garnier's directions are straightforward: massage onto wet hair, lather and rinse thoroughly. No measured amount per wash is published, so begin with a modest pour, work it through scalp and lengths, and add more only if you want a fuller lather. Since this is a 22 fl oz bottle, expect a generous supply; how long it lasts comes down to hair length, thickness and how often you wash. Use it with the rest of the Sleek & Shine range rather than on its own.

Is it right for colour-treated hair?

The product data does not say this shampoo is formulated for colour-treated hair, so no colour-care claim is made here. Garnier does offer colour care elsewhere in its range. If your hair is colour-treated and you want a shampoo marketed that way, check the label or the brand's colour care line before you buy.
