I was chosen to review the Garnier Color Shield Products as part of the Product Review Club :)
The hair colour like I mentioned in my earlier review was amazing again...and the shampoo and conditioner were equally amazing as well!
I love the smell and texture of both products (although, I do wish the conditioner was a tad bit thicker...no big deal though). The second time I washed my hair after dying it, I was expecting some of the dye to rinse out and watch it go down the drain like I usually do after colouring my hair...NOPE! That hair dye stayed right where it was supposed to - On my head! I was very impressed :)
I always love that the conditioner bottles come packaged "upside down" so that the consumer never has to shake the last bits of product down, but I think it would be even more amazing if the shampoo bottle was packaged the same way. (Just because it's not as thick as the conditioner, doesn't mean we still don't shake the last bit out lol). - Sorry that was a bit of a side note ;)
The shampoo itself leaves my hair so soft and easy to manage, which is usually unheard of with my hair (it's permed). The team of products Garnier has come out with for keeping hair protected and resisted to colour fading and damage is one of my favourite teams out there right now at a reasonable price.

Overall rating:
smell ~ 4.5/5
packaging ~ 3.5/5
texture ~ 4/5
effectiveness ~ 4.5/5

Total ~ 16.5/20 :)

I have already recommended these products to my friends and will continue to do so until I find something better...That's me - always striving to find something better lol

the garnier fructis colour shield shampoo and conditioner smell great and make a nice hair care team. i'm not convinced they do a better job of cleaning or conditioning than other products i've used but so far they seem to be preserving my colour, which is very important to me. i wish the conditioner was a bit thicker and richer since i have naturally curly hair that tends to be a bit dry; it doesn't feel like i get substantial conditioning with this product but it will suffice (i guess the deep conditioner that comes with the hair colour takes care of that!). overall though, a good pair of products.

I received a free trial of this product and am very happy with it. It smells great, has a really nice creamy texture. It leaves my hair very shiny and smooth. My hair is very recently coloured so I am very interested to see how this helps with colour retention over the longer term - unfortunately I have to have the review entered now.
But as of now using Garnier Nutrisse Cream Colour, Garnier Fructis Colour Shield Shampoo and Conditioner and Garnier Fructis Colour Sealant - my hair looks great, definitely as good as any salon colour at a much better price.
Will definitely use these products again.

I've been using these products for several weeks now and have come to the following conclusion:

Neither the shampoo or conditioner do what they claim. My color, which was also Garnier, didn't last any longer than normal. And my hair felt like it was in worse condition than it did when I use my Ojon products. I found my hair got dirtier faster using this hair care duo, smelled of synthetic perfumes ALL day and really did nothing special for my hair. The ingredients are also questionable. Sodium laureth sulfate, etc. Why bother putting token 'natural' ingredients in the products when the company uses the same old surfactants in the shampoo?

As for the conditioner, it's loaded with silicone based polymers. a repeat of the Color Shield leave in product. I don't want to be coating my hair with silicone of any type. Using this line of products, I get a double dose of them. I want my hair to grow faster, more healthy, and be in better condition. It's impossible for those things to happen when using these products.

And again, the GOD AWFUL packaging. Puking fuchsia and lime green. Really? This is the best Garnier's package development team could do?? They're even more of an assault on the eyes in Costco, where the bottles are of gargantuan proportions.

Nope, sorry, can't recommend either one of these products for any reason. These would never be my hair care products of choice. If you want your hair color to last longer rinse, shampoo and condition with the appropriate herbal products depending on your hair color.

I have had Fructis hair since the summer. No, it isn't a weird scalp ailment ... it's nice smelling, soft, shiny hair that holds its colour.

So here's the whole episode unfolded. My hair was frazzled and tired. In August I received a Garnier Nutrisse #82 Champagne Fizz Hair Color and to try and review. Well, I really liked the result. In a few weeks, I received another package with another #82 colour kit, the colour shield formula, and the Color Shield Shampoo & Conditioner ... I coloured my hair again. The second colour really took well and looked simply amazing. I began using the whole trial product line and my colour has continued to look vibrant ever since that second application. The fragrant shampoo is rich and lathers up nicely. It gets all previous product out of my hair too. The conditioner smells so nice too, and is equally rich. My hair comes out so clean, soft and shiny. I even went out and bought the hairspray (I love this line!).

These products really work - my hair looks and feels healthy. Honestly, it hasn't looked this good in years! And by the way, if you are trying these products, give the hairspray a try too!

I have started to use the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo & Conditioner right after the last time that I dyed my hair. I am not a true believer that any one product can make your color last longer however my hair feels clean, soft and manageable after each use. The last time I dyed my hair my color faded pretty quickly as the sun made it very light. This time around it has been about 3 weeks since my dye job and my color is still vibrant and each time I use the shampoo and conditioner I notice my hair is also very shiny.



What I like about the shampoo is that you don’t need to use much of it and it lathers up very well. They both make my hair smell really nice as well. I find the longer I leave the conditioner on my head the softer my hair feels afterwards and I never have problems with brushing.



Overall I think I will purchase this product again as I do color my hair often.

After testing out the Garnier Fructis Colour Shield Shampoo for several of my washed, I noticed that it did keep my hair colour lasting longer. I loved the frangrance the shampoo had and it did leave my hair shiny & soft. The product design I loved right when I saw it, it's very attractive and it really stands out. I would definately say that I am going to go buy this product again once it runs out! Thanks again Chickadvisor for letting me try out this amazing product!

I received the Garnier Nutrisse in Dark Chocolate along with the Colour Shield Shampoo, Conditioner, and Instant Colour Sealer as part of the Product Review Club.

I've always seen the colour protection products on the shelves and never took any of them seriously. In my mind, if a product was moisturizing it'd probably do the exact same thing. I've tried one or two colour-safe shampoos in the past, but never noticed any difference. HOWEVER, the second time around dying my hair, I used the Colour Shield line every day... And I'm now a firm believer! Two weeks after dying my hair, it's as dark and chocolaty as ever! Normally by now I have some major red (and greys) poking through, but I am still getting comments about how great and rich my hair colour is. People think I dyed it just yesterday!

The scent of this shampoo and conditioner is also really yummy! I'm not a big fan of the super perfumy smelling products - I find they often give me a headache. But this is fruity, light, and won't overpower my other products, just perfect for shampoo! It also left my hair feeling very moisturized, but didn't weigh it down (I have very fine, curly hair). The conditioner is remarkably thicker than any conditioner I've ever used - I'd call it a cream conditioner. It felt as luxurious as the third step conditioner that comes with the Garnier Nutrisse hair colour (and many other brands of hair dye). I found a little bit went a long way, which is great for penny pinchers like me!

Highly recommended!

I was lucky enough to receive both products to test out for myself and i must say i was very satisfied with the results.
My hair was very looked very healthy and had bounce to it. I love these products very much!!!

I am reviewing the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo and Conditioner as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club. I am a first-time user of hair colour so I was keen to see the difference between using my regular shampoo, and using the Colour Shield products after colouring my hair.

Using my regular shampoo, I realized that the colour faded quickly and my grays were showing after about three weeks of shampooing my hair every second day.

When I used the Garnier Fructis Colour Shield Shampoo and Conditioner along with the Color Sealer, my hair colour stayed vibrant and fresh for nearly five weeks before I noticed some of the grays showing through. These products kept my hair soft and manageable, and protected my hair colour.

Would I use this product again? Definitely. Thanks for letting me try this out! It truly is a case of seeing is believing. These are affordable colour-safe hair products that you can buy anywhere. They provide salon-quality results for a fraction of the price!
