TESTING, TESTING: Garnier Fructis Grapefruit Tonic Shampoo & Conditioner

Posted on March 10, 2013 by Elaine

If anyone happens to be looking for the best smelling shampoo & conditioner ever, fear not!

Because I’ve found it. 




Product Name: Garnier Fructius Fruit Sensation Grapefruit Tonic Shampoo + Conditioner


Price: $4.99 – $5.99 CAN (depending on retailers)

Where To Buy: All major drugstores across Canada

What It Claims: “…Dull hair? Shine from head to toe! Enriched in pink grapefruit extracts the formula strengthens hair and revives shine…”


Part of The: Garnier Fructis Fruit Sensation Shampoo + Conditioner Line that also includes
  • Citrus Mint
  • Passion Splash 

Review: I couldn’t start off this review with anything other than the scent – this shampoo and conditioner smells SO DIVINE that you’ll find yourself wishing you could drink it. 

That good. 

I can’t reasonably put down into words how good this product smells. Even after I had showered, I could still catch whiffs of the scent in my hair, and it still smelt amazing. The grapefruit scent is so bitterly sweet in this product, it’s worth the price tag alone. Your senses will thank you. 


Now, in terms of the other promises, I will admit that my hair was a teeny bit silkier. Dramatically so, no, but I did see a difference noticeable enough to purchase again. Did it strengthen my hair? I can’t say. I’ve been using it for the better part of a month and I don’t see a difference. Perhaps a longer period of time could make for better results. 


My biggest drawback? I have very dry hair in the winter – static is an absolute nightmare! This product did nothing to aide with that – in fact, my hair was so dry, I often had to follow up with a hair masque just to ensure my hair was somewhat manageable throughout the day. If this product provided a wee-bit more moisturization (which we all know, I love), these shampoos and conditioners would be Grade A. Perhaps this shampoo and conditioner is better suited for my hair in the summer!

Final Verdict: I can totally put up with using extra hair masques and leave-in conditioners if I get to use this smell on my hair every day. Completely acceptable compromise! 

Has anyone else used these shampoos and conditioners? Which scent was your favourite and why? Leave a comment, or tweet me at @AshleyMcKernan!
