MY EXPERIENCE: GARNIER FRUCTIS SLEEK & SHINE INTENSELY SMOOTH LEAVE-IN CONDITIONING CREAM
Another product that gave me an "ahhhhhhh" moment was this one: Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream! Oh... my... gosh!
Aside from the ORS Olive Oil Incredibly Rich Moisturizing Hair Lotion, I've never used any other hair lotion when I'm moisturizing and sealing my hair. At some point, I wanted to get rid of it because it was already oily, then sealing my hair with oil again was like a pleonasm to my hair: oil upon oil. And the oil would sip through my scarf and unto my pillow case... not a pleasant experience.
Products for ethnic hair are not as popular here as they are in the States. And if you ever find one, it's generally on the pricey side. I honestly discovered this conditioning creamy by accident. They were at the bottom shelf and there weren't a lot of them. It cost me only $2.92 at WalMart at the time of purchase. It's not oily, it's thick in consistency but a tiny bit looser than the ORS hair lotion. After moisturizing with it and seal my hair with some olive oil, my hair does look sleek and it does shine!
Though I must say at first, I wasn't a fan of the smell: it smelled like gum or candy and it was annoying to me. But after I seal my hair with the olive oil (in which I've added a little bit of Vitamin E oil) the strong candy smell was more tolerable. I was using this last week prior to applying my relaxer and truthfully, I was hesitant about relaxing my hair because my strands looked like they didn't need to be relaxed! They looked like I could've stretch the relaxer some more. That's how sleek they looked!
This leave-in conditioning cream will last me for a long time because the little bottle contains 300ml and I don't need to use a lot for my hair to feel moisturized.
I am very happy in my hair journey right now, and I hope you are as happy with yours :) Happy hair growing!
