Garnier Fructis Oil Repaid 3 Shampoo Review

I'm taking advantage of this much needed three day weekend to "reset" myself. I have entered into ultimate laziness this past week- the only plus being I was too lazy to cook/eat so I lost a couple pounds. But along with that I need to get back into regular reviews. I've had this shampoo for awhile- I really don't like it that much. I only bought it because I wanted a really stripping shampoo to get some silicones out my hair. Silicones make my hair so stiff and eventually dry- I was unknowingly using a shampoo that contained them. 

Garnier claims:

Dry, damaged hair is usually very brittle and needs special care. The ideal solution: the Garnier Fructis Oil Repair 3 Strengthening Shampoo. It combines 3 weightless oils of avocado, shea and olive with triglycerides to provide the hair with a repairing care.

A special combination of vegetable fruiting ingredients, vitamins B3 and B6 as well as lemon protein additionally strengthens the hair and gives it a healthier, more powerful appearance. The result: The hair is immediately nourished, is more supple and full of shine.

The Garnier Fructis Oil Repair 3 Strengthening Conditioner has been specially developed to satisfy the needs of dry hair. The gentle formula of the conditioner is ideal for daily use.

I bought this because it was super cheap.And I used to use a lot of Garnier back when I had a relaxer because it was cheap and smelled fruity and nice. I also tried a lot of their "curly" hair stuff when I newly natural. A lot of them work really well....but the silicones aren't great for my hair. 

I wanted this to strip the silicones from my hair- but still be nourishing and I thought it would be with the extra oils they add to it like the avocado, coconut, and olive oil. I mostly just find it to be extremely stripping. It lathers like crazy..you will have bubbles and lather everywhere. But it is extremely drying and feels as though it's tangling as I am washing. And then all that and my hair/scalp don't even seem to get that clean.

Once it dries my hair feels like a brillo pad. 

The ingredients aren't very bad- but I suspect it has a lot of the "lather" ingredient which is why my hair does not like it. Other than that it has good oils, shea butter, and some skin care ingredients which I am guessing are good for the scalp?

It does smell really nice though. I always like the way Garnier products smell. But that's the only real positive I have. I probably won't use the rest in my hair. I think it is going to be demoted to makeup brush cleaner.
