If you have dry hair you can opt for their Garnier Fructis Avocado Hair Mask. I gave it a try and loved its results on my dry hair. Just make sure you keep it at a distance from your scalp especially if you have a sensitive scalp like mine.

Here’s a quick tip:
Just dilute the shampoo in water so that SLS is less harsh on your hair while you use it. Do it mandatorily if you have fine hair.
Garnier Fructis Is Bad For Your Hair Because
- It contains a long list of harsh chemicals like SLS, silicones, added fragrance, phthalates, phenoxyethanol, and others. These ingredients often irritate the scalp and are harsh on your hair health.
- Still, you can check out this post on harmful ingredients in shampoo and conditioners that you need to avoid and why you should avoid them? This will help you to check not only whether the Garnier Fructis is good for your hair but will help you identify any hair products from any brands.
Most of the products I recommended above contains these harsh chemicals so please take that into account before buying. I recommended these products after taking into account its good reviews from my personal experience, my friends and family member’s experience and a lot of my readers and blogger friend’s experiences.
My Experience Using Garnier Fructis Products
I have tried Garnier’s oil-in-cream when launched. I didn’t like it, it gave me a terrible hair fall phase.
After using Garnier hair food banana, my hair felt smooth and nourished but it somehow made my hair weighed down a bit for the entire week after that.
As for the shampoo, I tried different variants of Garnier Fructis shampoo for my dry hair but every time, despite diluting it in water, it made my hair drier. Even the ones that were meant to tackle the dryness issue like Garnier Fructis triple nutrition shampoo. So I ended up either donating it or using it for my pedicures.
But I have a friend who swears by the Garnier Fructis triple nutrition shampoo. She says nothing suits her hair better than this baby.
I guess this is something you would have to try and check out for yourself.
One thing which I can tell you for sure is Garnier Fructis conditioners do add a wonderful shine to your hair.
But due to high silicone content, it adds a lot of build-ups. So if you do use any hair conditioner with silicones in it, please make sure you use a clarifying shampoo once a month to remove the build-up.

Here’s a quick tip and a friendly advice:
Garnier Fructis is bad for your hair if you opt for the wrong products for your hair type or if you forget to dilute their shampoo or don’t use a good clarifying shampoo to remove the build-up.
Just a friendly piece of advice I would say, if you have fine hair, buy its tester or a smaller bottle first. Because most people with fine hair don’t find Garnier Fructis products to be an ideal match for their hair.
At the risk of repeating myself for the hundredth time, please dilute the shampoo before using it if it contains SLS. And if your conditioner contains silicones, please use a good clarifying shampoo once a month to minimize build-up.
I repeating this again and again just so you don’t go through the terrible hair fall phase I went through.
Go cruelty-free.
Have a lovely day.
