Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge

I have been using this shampoo and conditioner for a few weeks now and am very happy with it. Initially, I was put off by the shampoo being more a gel than I'm use to. It also frustrated me that there were two conditioners with no clear instructions of how they were to be used (alternatingly, together, etc). But, after the initial annoyance, I was fine making up my own rules.
The shampoo has a nice light scent. Normally I dislike scents all around but this one I did like. The fruity smell was just enough and definitely not too overpowering. The shampoo had a gel consistency that I was a little different for me and took some getting use to. Now that I'm use to it, and the need to use a little extra water while applying it to my hair, I'm ok with it. The moisture beads didn't freak me out anywhere near as much as I thought they would.
Conditioner 1 was meant to be left in my hair for a minute prior to being washed out. Conditioner 2 was a rinse out immediately option. Maybe because I alternated between the two or maybe because it just didn't matter, but I didn't seem to notice any difference between the two. Both had a heavier and longer lasting scent that I would have preferred but that was my only major complaint. Well, that and the lack of directions.
Overall I liked it. I can't say that I'm 100% positive that I'll buy the shampoo always but do see at least a couple purchases in my future. I'm not so sure about the conditioner. The smell was just a little too much for me.

As everyone reading my blog knows, I'm a bzzagent and am able to try products for free or drastically reduced prices. This was no exceptions.
