This pass month I had the opportunity to try out the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge System through Bzzagent. Now before I get into what I thought of Hydra Recharge, let me give a little background on my hair. I have thick, shoulder length, naturally curly hair that is extremely dry. My hair craves moisture so, when I'm looking for hair care products I don't even think about buying a product unless it promises to quench my thirsty tresses.
The product line includes the Hydra Recharge shampoo, conditioner and a 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment. The Hydra Recharge system is infused with superfruits like goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi and claims that it will recharge your thirsty locks and keep your hair super silky and surprisingly weightless for up to two whole days.
What did I think of Hydra Recharge? The shampoo was my favorite, it's a clear gel that's full of these cool little of hydrating microbeads that burst on impact, and it smells amazing! It's the first sulfate shampoo that I've tried that didn't dry my hair out and leave it a tangled, matted mess. It definitely left my hair feeling clean and moisturized like no other, I loved it! The conditioner had the same great smell and a great thick consistency, but other than that it was unfortunately a dud for me. It did absolutely nothing for my hair, it actually felt like it stripped the moisture from the shampoo back out of my hair. Not a fan. The last part of the system was the 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment, I thought this was okay. I found it more moisturizing than the conditioner was and it left my hair soft and manageable again.
Overall the Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge System was just okay, the shampoo is definitely the star of the show for me, the conditioner was too drying for me, and the 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment wasn't anything special. I plan on adding the Hydra Recharge shampoo to my hair regime, but I think I'll probably skip out on the conditioner and the treatment.
