Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-in

CurlyNats · 12-04-2006, 03:06 AM

I've heard many of you talking about Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-in and wondered about the amodimethicone in it. Is this cone easy to remove?... or if you use this product do you shampoo as well?

Thank you

Whoops... I've just spotted lots of reviews on the Readers' Product Review board!

Hi CurlyNats,

Ive got a bottle of that along with the sleek and shine conditioner and curl and shine conditioner that i'm trying to get rid of. My hair just didnt like the cone in them, although i know lots love it! my hair just cant stand any cones, even if they're water soluble.

so if you'd like to try them i can happily send them to you! they are just taking up space in my cupboard...

Oh wow Jenny that's so nice of you!!

I actually bought the sleek & shine leave-in this morning because I remembered others saying how good it was. I think I must've still been half asleep as I didn't look at the ingredients! But I don't know enough about the cones etc. to know if they're water soluable or not anyway.

I didn't see the Curl & Shine and wondered if they even stocked it in the UK. But you have it so they must do

I'd love to try it and I would of course, send you some money for it!!

Honestly the conditioner is just sitting in a box in my cupboard doing nothing. And don't worry about the cost of them - I got them ages ago and they're not expensive anyway. They would either get thrown in the bin if someone didnt want to take them off my hands! I'm moving flat in a few months so anything I cant carry is going in the bin - I have a big box of products waiting to get adopted by some curlies on here

So just PM me you're address and I'll get them in the post to you - if you've already got the sleek and shine I'll send you the 2 conditioners

Amodimethicone is the only cone in the Garnier products mentioned, and it doesnt need a sulfate shampoo to be removed - usually a lemon rinse or a cleanser containing coco-betaine will manage. My hair just doesnt like silicones full stop - unfortunate as the Garnier Fructis smells so lovely!

That is honestly so kind of you, I would love them, thank you

Thanks re the information regarding the amodimethicone... it's good to know there are some cones we might be able to use

Well, I'll definitely give you money for postage.

Thanks again, will PM you now...
