Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Blow Dry Perfector Straightening Balm

After trying Garnier's shampoo and conditioner for fine hair, I liked the outcome feeling of my hair that I thought I'd try other products of Garnier. My hair is naturally straight after blow drying, but it is always frizzy looking.  This straightening balm got my attention, because it stated on the front that it is 24 hour frizz resistance and that it has Argan oil in it. Some of Argan oil's benefits is it helps promotes soft, silky hair, it prevents moisture loss and adds suppleness to the hair and it has components such as Vitamin E and essentials fatty acids, which is good for the hair.

Here is a picture of my hair after showering.  It was fully wet for a while, but I was busy doing other things that I didn't get the chance right away to put Garnier's Straightening Balm in my hair, so there were some area that was already dry.  However, my hair was still damp enough for me to use the straightening balm.

Here is an after picture after putting the balm product in my hair and blow drying it.  I was very impressed after trying it for the first time.  It made my hair straight and I notice there was not much frizz. I really liked the after feeling of it.  The balm left my hair feeling soft and straight and  I didn't have to use too much of the product. I would say a penny size amount was good enough for my entire head of hair.

 

I will be trying this product with another product of Garnier's, which is Garnier's XXL volume Thickening Mousse.  Like I mentioned before, I do have fine hair and usually I am always using a thickening mousse to make my hair look thicker. With Garnier's thickening mousse, I do like that it makes my hair look thicker and adds volume, however it does leave my hair very frizzy.  So my next task will be to try Garnier's straightening balm with their XXL thickening mousse. 

Day 2 review:  Below is a picture of my wet hair before using the mousse and then an after picture of my hair using Garnier's XXL volume thickening Mousse.  As you can see, it gives my hair lots of volume and does make it look thick.  However, you can see how frizzy it left my hair.  I usually would have to use hair spray afterwards to control the frizziness.  

I will be updating soon on the outcome of the mousse and balm being used together.
