Fructis Colour Last Shampoo Reviews

I usually use a salon brand shampoo for my colour treated hair but when I ran out of shampoo just over a week ago I decided to check out what was available while I was in a supermarket. I’ve used quite a few Garnier products, including shampoos and conditioners in the past, so when I saw the Garnier Fructis Colour Last Shampoo and thought it wouldn’t hurt to try it.

The shampoo is packaged in a distinctive Garnier Fructis style plastic bottle in a nice shiny red. The bottle has a flip-top lid and holds 250ml of product.

When I flipped the top of the bottle I could immediately smell the sweet scent – I had forgotten how fruity the Garnier shampoos and conditioners smell. To me the shampoo smells like strawberries but I could be wrong, however the description states that the formula contains nutrient rich acai berries, plus there’s a mention of grape seed and citrus in the ingredients. But, I love the fruity smell as I wash my hair.

I always do a double wash – the first to get rid of hair product, and the second to wash my hair. Each time I’ve washed my hair with the Fructis Colour Last the first application of shampoo hasn’t lathered at all, but after rinsing well and then re-applying shampoo there has been a really good lather, leaving my hair feeling really clean.

My hair is quite short at present but longer on top at the front in shades of dark and lighter blonde. Previous to using the Fructis Colour Last my hair felt quite spikey when I ran my fingers through it but now it feels soft and fluffy – a much better feel. My hair certainly looks brighter with the different shades of blonde looking more pronounced.

At present I’m quite happy with the Garnier Fructis Colour Last Shampoo. I suppose the test of how effective the shampoo really is in protecting the colour vibrancy will show during the next five weeks as my hair grows longer and I’m due for another salon colour.
