Review: Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil, Part II (The Results, with photos)

If you missed my post on the formula of this product and my expectations based on that, check it out here. This second post reveals the results I got using this product in a number of different ways.

Let me start by repeating the marketing claims made by Garnier about this Dry Oil, since that will the main basis on which I evaluate it:

According to the Garnier marketing materials, this is a combination of "three weightless oils - olive, avocado, and shea" that is mean to "transform hair and skin". It is "made for everyday use on your hair, body, and face" and "instantly absorbs in a touch with no oily residue". They claim that it is the first multiuse oil on the mass market, "making revolutionary hair and skin care affordable for everyone".

I'm also comparing this to other more basic oil products, such as olive oil and rosehip oil, which are inexpensive and readily available. I've used those and continue to use them, so I am familiar with the benefits of using oils and how to get good results with them.

So how did it work out?

Badass Hair: Dove Nutritive Therapy, Nourishing Oil Care Leave In Smoothing Cream

This shit is … the shit. The ridiculously-priced, pure, Oil of Aragorn (mmmm Viggo) or whatever is nice, but you don’t need it. This is under $6 and it will make your hair all pretty and shiny and soft.

Here’s how I tested it: I went to Memphis for a vacation (omg so much BBQ) and didn’t pack conditioner, because I was like, I’m staying in a nice-ish hotel. They’ll provide it. But no, there was only shampoo. However, because I order free samples online like a fiend, I had a little sample packet of this stuff in my suitcase. I just shampooed with the weak-ass hotel shampoo and used this as leave in conditioner every day for a week, and my hair was amazing. Better than usual. That’s a testimonial.
