Hi lady,

I am another lover of Herbal Essences Bee Strong Conditioner. Holy Grail status for me.
I have been wondering about Garnier Fructis leave-in. What exactly is it that you love about it?

TIA

It moisturizes my hair for 7+ days and makes it extremely soft.

Thank you! I'm tempted to try it. What are the characteristics f your hair?

ETA: and does it pair well with gel? I use wetline xtreme.

I have fine 3C/4A hair, normal porosity. I don't normally use gel for my wash n go but I do use it to bun. Plays well with eco-styler. Not sure about wetline.

Thanks heaps, dear! I think that ecostyler and wetline often react similarly to the different leave-ins. I believe that I am 4a/3c me too. Unfortunately my hair is a combination of low and high porosity (low for moisture to get in and high for it to get out) and I do have a dryness problem. But I'm still excited to try this leave-in. I will let you know what happens when I do.
