Garnier a ultimate loving blends maple and castor oil

Garnier has a line with multiple different shampoos and conditioners. In German it’s called ‘wahre Schätze” which translates to “true treasures”. The line is called “loving blends” or “ultimate blends” in English.

This line is for people with really dry/damaged hair. My hair isn’t damaged nor dry. I do however have curls which means my hair is a bit dryer than someone with straight hair. As well as the fact that I dye my hair so there is so much damage there.

Garnier about their line
Very damaged hair needs extra love and care. Maple sap extract from the wilds of Canada is blended with nourishing castor oil, which is packed with essential fatty acids to target signs of damaged hair. The result is a deliciously-scented formula that leaves hair easier to manage and feeling revitalized from root to tip as if repaired: the perfect remedy.

Shampoo
This shampoo doesn’t dry my hair out which I like a lot. A lot of shampoos dry your hair out which means you need to use a conditioner. With this product that is not the case, I have used it without a conditioner and that makes it a good shampoo in my eyes. I also like the fact that it makes my curls look defined.

How to use
Massage into wet hair, lather, rinse, and follow with our Maple Sap and Castor Oil Conditioner. For intense care, indulge in one of our treatments.

Conditioner
I am not the biggest fan of the conditioner. I do what it says it would do but I am not impressed. I notice that I tend to just use the mask as a conditioner and call it a day. I feel that it doesn’t do much for me. It doesn’t make my hair that much softer but it does make my curls not as defined. So I wouldn’t recommend it for a curly curly-haired girl but if you have straight hair, it might be perfect for you.

Mask
I adore the mask, it makes my hair very soft and I love again the smell. It’s great. It does make my curls appear much looser than I am used to but I know this so I use it mainly when I don’t have a lot of appointments the next day. I don’t use it every time I wash my hair but I don’t need to because it makes my hair soft. I like it.

How to use
Use once or twice a week after our Maple Sap and Castor Oil Shampoo. Squeeze excess water from hair and generously smooth our silky balm through your mid lengths to ends. Leave in for 1 to 5 minutes depending on the care your hair needs. Rinse thoroughly.

Leave in conditioner
The leave-in is a good product, it makes my hair soft and it smells nice. It makes my curls look loose which I am not a fan of but it’s nice to use when I straighten my hair. If you have really dry straight hair, this product would be amazing. I like and use it but I have other ones that are cheaper and do the job for my hair better. Doesn’t take away from the fact that it is a very nice product.

How to use:
Put the leave-in conditioner in your hair. Doesn’t matter if it’s damp or dry. You don’t have to rinse it out.

I love this scent if there was a body lotion in this scent I would use it, same with shower gel. I love, love this scent. It’s one of those scent you either love or hate. It’s very prominent so it’s smart to make sure you like the scent before you buy it!
