Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures Shampoo and Conditioner
Since I’ve started highlighting my hair again, I’ve swapped out my volumizing shampoo and conditioner formulas for deeply moisturizing, reparative products. This split end-reducing duo from Garnier is one of my favorites. The shampoo has a subtly sweet aroma and thoroughly cleanses my hair of product buildup, sweat and excess oil — but never leaves it stripped or too squeaky clean. I can always count on the conditioner to help detangle and leave my hair touchably soft.
Garnier Fructis Invisible Dry Shampoo Aloe Clean
I try not to wash my hair every day, but my sweaty workouts make that goal a little difficult to achieve. To help keep my hair looking (and feeling!) fresh and clean without lathering up, I lean on this invisible dry shampoo. It helps to absorb and remove oils from my hair, and even gives it a little boost of volume at the root. It truly is invisible, so I never have to worry about it leaving behind a noticeable white residue.

Garnier Fructis Nourishing Treat 3-In-1 Hair Mask + Coconut Extract Hair Mask
Truth be told, I almost never use a regular conditioner. Instead, I opt for a hair mask during every wash because it helps detangle and smooth out my strands. This super moisturizing formula leaves my hair silky smooth and knot-free, and I love that it works in just sixty seconds. Not to mention, it smells amazing.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum
Before I blow-dry my hair, I love to add a serum to my ends to give my hair an extra boost of softness and shine. This one is my go-to — it smells delicious (like a juicy green apple), it's super affordable and it works to keep my wavy hair under control without making it feel weighed down or sticky.

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Glass Hair Water
My hair is quite long, so keeping it sleek all the way from root to tip is a priority for me. I used to load it up with smoothing products, softening oils and — worst of all — flat irons that caused heat damage, all just to keep things smooth and shiny. Since I started using the Glass Hair Water, though, there’s no going back for me — the lightweight formula feels like nothing on my hair, but makes it shiny, soft and sleek. It’s definitely a holy grail for my hair!

Garnier Fructis Curl Treat Smoothie Defining Leave-in Styler for Soft Curls
As someone with natural hair, I’m constantly looking for products that will help nourish and define my curls. Lately, I’ve been reaching for this leave-in on my wash-and-go days. After washing and conditioning my hair, I’ll go in with this and finger coil my hair. I’m left with defined coils that last! I love the fact that it minimizes the frizz in my hair, which is something I definitely struggle with. If you have natural hair, this is definitely a must-try.
