I received a bottle of Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil for Hair, Body, and Face. My information says, "Garnier Fructis is the first to bring multiuse oil to the mass market, making revolutionary hair and skin care affordable for everyone." It promises to deliver "silky, shiny hair and soft, supple skin." It also says that "the fine-mist spray delivers rapid-action nourishment to treat your hair, body, and even dry areas on your face with no oily residue" It "combines 3 fruit oils- olive, avocado, and shea" and claims to "absorb in a touch." You can find this product on the Garnier website HERE and you can check out their facebook page HERE
I've used hair oil before and I am also a loyal Garnier Fructis conditioner user, I'm a sucker for that apricot scent and the super thick consistency that actually coats the ridiculously thick hair on my head. So I was super excited to try out a new Fructis product, I opened my package, and immediately spritzed some on my arm. I attempted to rub it in thinking it would rub in with "no oily residue" but was slightly disappointed. It felt and looked as it I had just rubbed oil on my arm. Not a huge deal, considering it was oil that I just rubbed onto my skin, but with their claim and name "Dry Oil" I assumed it would be, well, dryer. An hour later I brushed my arm against my face and deposited a lovely oil residue onto my cheek. As an adult who's prone to zits. it took everything I had to use this on my face. To my dismay, the next day,two fresh pimples had sprouted on my chin and cheek where I had rubbed the oil the day before. Weather this is due to the oil, my hands rubbing it in, or any other number of reasons all I know is that I won't be spraying this on my face again.
The scent is ok, oh how I wished it was apricot, but it's actually almost the same scent as a macadamia hair oil I had but, for lack of a better scent word, less spicy smelling. It's not awful, but it's not wonderful either.
I do like how this smooths out my flyaways and gives my hair an all over shiny look. The down side to this product is that I don't like the feel it leaves in my hair. I have dry hair and any time I've used an oil in it, it seems to be full absorbed within an hour. This stays greasy in my hair until I wash it out, which is actually kind of gross, to be able to feel the oil in my hair after a full day. I've also notice it makes my hair look wet, not full on just got out of the shower wet but like it sprayed it with water wet, no matter the amount I use. It also tends to "settle" on one area in my hair no matter how many different ways I've tried using it. I've sprayed it directly on my hair, using only a small amount, I've sprayed it onto my hair brush, I've sprayed it into my hands first, I've brushed like crazy afterwards to evenly distribute it but it always turns out the same, feeling oily and looking greasy. I've completely stopped trying to use it on my skin because it does not fully absorb and leaves an oily residue behind. I didn't notice any difference while using it on my skin either.
Overall the smell is ok, it at least dissipates quickly so you don't have to smell it all day. It does make my hair shiny and smooth, and I do like the spray bottle design for a hair oil, but it does leave a residue behind that is pretty yucky. I won't continue using this, my opinion on it is that for a "dry" oil it sure is exceptionally oily feeling and it certainly doesn't "dry" on my skin or hair. It is much oilier then any other hair oils I've used before and I'm just not into that.
So before, Obviously my hair is colored, it's a little dry and frizzy naturally. It's also freakishly thick so it's normally a lions mane like this. |
And after the oil spray... It looks wet and strange. |
**I received this product sample from BzzAgent for review.
This is my honest opinion of this product. I do not get paid to give a good review.**
