Garnier Long and Strong....Any reviews?

[ccd]

Garnier has come out with this new one...Long and Strong, apparently helps to keep your hair shaft stronger and free of split ends......Sound interesting but also gimmicky at the same time...

If anyone uses please post a review I'm curious to know if they work....I thought some people here liked "sleek and something" so just checking in on this one:

Thanks in advance AND

I'm using the conditioner and the leave-in ends treatment. I'm a natural, so I wonder if my benefit will be different from others.

After I conditioner wash (V05), I apply the Long and Strong conditioner. I tuck my ends, then place a hair clip or shower cap and let the heat and moisture help it penetrait, then rinse. It really eliminates the tangles. It's definately a coating type conditioner, but somewhat light. So, there never seems to be a big build up (I do CO wash often, so I doubt I'll see much build up).

The ends treatment is a great detangler, but I only see that benefit on damp hair. So, I use it after the shower or when I spray Surge 14 on my dry hair.

Over all, I give it four out of five. It's softening and seemed to be help reduce split ends, which I suffer from in these harsh winters. I don't know if it will be as beneficial in the summer, when I normally don't have as many "bad" hair days and when I use much lighter conditioners. I may keep the ends treatment in the summer.

I need to experiment more.

Okay CCD I used it last night this time paying attention to how my hair felt. I got in the shower and wet my hair, applied Long n Strong and let it sit on my hair until I was finished showering. I then rinsed my hair and it felt really soft and it was really easily to comb through. I also didn't lose any hairs. I put my hair into a ponytail and put a scarf on it so it could dry overnight. My hair feels really soft and smooth today.

I've been using the conditioner. I've only used it three times but love it so far. It leaves my hair feeling moisturized and slightly stronger. It detangles well and leaves slip. I will continue using it for conditioner washes. I noticed that it is slightly acidic and I probably would not use it for deep conditioning with heat.

I hated the leave-in conditioner. My hair felt really moist when I applied it but then my hair started shedding. I'm not sure why but, I rinsed it out and haven't tried it again since. soon as I rinsed it out, my hair stopped shedding. Maybe it's too acidic for me. It is a fruit based product so I'm thinking that's the problem.

I do love the daily conditioner.
