Garnier Dry Shampoo

 I have mentioned again in the past Coolbrandz, which is a fantastic site where cool people meet cool ideas and products! Every single person living in Switzerland should check this one out for sure. This time I tested a new hair product for Coolbrandz, the new Garnier Fructis Dry Shampoo and I couldn't wait to share my opinion with you!

Αυτό το review μου ζητήθηκε από την εταιρία Coolbrandz για το νέο ξηρό σαμπουάν της εταιρίας Garnier Fructis και θα είναι γραμμένο στα αγγλικά, αλλά θα χαρώ να απαντήσω στις ερωτήσεις που έχετε. Σε γενικές γραμμές πιστεύω πως είναι ένα πολύ καλό προϊόν και θα αρέσει πολύ σε όσες κοπέλες έχουν πρόβλημα λιπαρότητας αλλά όχι μόνο. Kαι είναι τέλειο για την τσάντα ή το συρτάρι του γραφείου σας.

 Few days ago I received a lovely package from Coolbrandz containing one of these new dry shampoos by Garnier Fructis. I am absolutely amazed by the details and the work they put in this. Thank you so much Eileen!

 The packaging is so typical for a Garnier Fructis product. This is very cool because it makes it recognizable from far at the stores and I really like green so that is a bonus for me. It looks like a typical hairspray but it is a smaller (150ml) bottle which makes it easier to transfer unlike the most huge bulky hair sprays out there. The instructions are very specific and easy to follow and all the necessary information like the ingredients are written on it. I also like the slice of lemon on it, it gives just by looking info on the smell so that you can decide if you like it or not. The cap closes perfectly although I was opening and closing it for long time to see if it loosens up -it doesn't. For me the packaging is excellent.

 What about the actual product? I 've only used a dry shampoo in the past once or twice many years before they become so popular. It was one of the old generation ones, which left a ton of white powder on your hair and I disliked them a lot. I never understood the big fuss about dry shampoo. The thing is that I am one of the people that do not have any problems with oily hair. I wash my hair every second or third day and they almost never look oily (usually they look better the second day to be honest). But I was willing to try this one out to see if it has any results.

 I followed all the instructions and after I sprayed the shampoo from a 15cm distance especially in the roots I waited for two minutes and then combed my hair. Well see this is a problem for me as I only do that before and after I wash them otherwise I destroy the loose curls. So if you use it keep in mind that you will need to brush your hair. I don't know if the result is obvious enough because my hair rarely look greasy in general as I said but what I noticed is that they looked more freshly washed and they also felt like that. No they didn't and will not feel like you actually just washed them but the difference is really obvious and it is a great way to freshen up your hair style. I liked the texture as it is really light and not sticky. The smell is lemony and lingers afterwards, I didn't love it but didn't hated it either but you should know it is kind of intense if you dislike fragranced products. That I really loved is the volume this product can give. I personally have enough volume but this is always a problem for greasy hair and this product can help a lot! And you doesn't want a shampoo and a hair style product in one? And the best thing? No white residue at all!

I believe that I am not the perfect user for a dry shampoo but I am definitely going to keep this on my office drawer in case I want to freshen up a bit and go for drinks after work. Or you can even keep it in your bag, it has a perfect size. A friend remind it me that she totally loved dry shampoos for her fringe and I remembered how much I suffer to style my fringe and keep it fresh in the past (when I had one). Even for me a dry shampoo would be absolutely necessary in this occasion.

Pros:
-Great packaging
-Travel-friendly size
-Easy to use
-Hair re-freshener and styling product in 1
-Must have for people with fringe
-No white residue

Cons:
-Very intense smell, not easy for everyone to like it
-Need to brush your hair after applying it (not necessary a bad thing for most people though)

As I don't know the price of it I cannot comment on that.

Overall I believe this is a very good dry shampoo and can be lifesaving for people with greasy hair but also for the rest it is good to have a bottle for "emergencies" in any case. It is definately super cool (2)

Thank you Coolbrandz for the chance to try this out!
