Great purchase

Worked wonders. Color stayed a few months longer than normal. Loved it. Would definitely purchase in the future for next coloribg. To all you out there who color as much as I do... Do it!!

When you use the product it drys out your hair and has not helped me at all with keeping my colour, I do not recommend it to anyone.

I am not sure what this product was actually supposed to do for me, but I will tell you what it did do... it made my hair greasy, kind of sticky and flat. I am not sure about any sort of colour locking technology but I have very fine hair and after the first few uses this product was quickly discontinued from my routine

i have crazy wild spanish big hair and this is the only product i have found that has tamed my mane ......and going thru withdrawal cannot find any in central florida

I love this stuff! I use it everyday. I'm not to sure if it really locks in the color but it is a great leave-in conditioner. I have wavy hair and this stuff is great to control the waves

I can tell that is locks in my color, but I hare the way it leaves my hair! It leaves is hard and dry.

I got this from Garnier for free to try and i really do like it. I did find that it help keep my colour in a little longer then other products that i have tried. I have recommend this to a few people and they also really notice a difference in keeping the colour longer in their hair, and i would buy this as i liked the results that it had on my hair.

I always check the sale bin at my local Shopper's Drug Mart, what deals they have, (but that's another review) in the bin for $2.00 was a bottle of the Color Shield Sealer, as I had never tried a product like this before I thought, "why not".
Unfortunately I did not like the product at all. My hair is dry and frizzy to begin with, finding products to work with is very hard. The Garnier Color Shield left my hair dryer then normal and very hard to tame. I also found the color bled on my hands when I used it. I tried without the next day just to be sure. It has a very greasy feel, which would leave you to believe the opposite of what it actually does.
I am sure for some this product works well and they like or love it. For me however to be honest I did not like anything about it.
I will keep my eye out for other Garnier products on sale and give them a try, this one is just not for me.

I was chosen to review the new line of colour shield products by Garnier. Unfortunately my package got lost in the mail so the Garnier team as well as the people here at Chickadvisor re-sent my package (thanks guys!)

I first want to mention that I have permed hair and after dying it, I find that the colour usually fades super fast...After using the Colour sealer I noticed my hair colour isn't fading at all. My hair also feels very soft and I don't have to put any other products in my hair like I used to in order to keep my hair soft due to the perm. The product smells clean, not my favourite smelling hair product but not a bad small at all. The texture is sooo nice! I love that it doesn't leave a residue or a filmy feeling when the hair is dried. The only thing I learned from accidentally using too much is that if you do, it almost starts to create a lather when the hair is damp. So when they tell you to only use a quarter sized amount they mean it!
The packaging is okay. It's eye catching and functional, but I am a fan of lids that I am 100% certain won't leak when I travel and this one doesn't have my complete trust.

Overall rating:

Smell ~ 3.5 out of 5
Texture ~ 4.5 out of 5
Packaging ~ 2.5 out of 5
Effectiveness ~ 4 out of 5

Total 14/20 :)

I have already recommended this product to friends who colour their hair and who can't afford salon/expensive brands! Garnier is a great brand and I am never disappointed when it comes to their hair care and skin care.

i really like the garnier fructis colour shield instant colour sealer! it's got a nice light texture and kind of feels like a serum. besides prolonging the life of my colour, the shield keeps the frizzies down and gives my curls a little extra definition. i'm usually not one for 'extra' products or added steps in my hair routine (the less fuss the better!) but the colour shield, if it continues to prove its effectiveness, will be a nice addition to my colour care arsenal! i'm a fan.
