Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition - Happy Hair Challenge - The Final Verdict

   Last month I took part in the Happy Hair Challenge which required me to use the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo and Conditioner for a period of 30 days and blog about it's positive/negative effects on my hair. So now that my trial period is over I am jotting down my final detailed thoughts about the Triple Nutrition range here.
   You can read about the initial assessment of my hair and my first impression of Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition range before it's actual use here - Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition - Happy Hair Challenge

   Directions: Rinse well after shampooing. Apply conditioner on scalp and along length of hair to tips. Leave for 1 - 2 mins. Rinse thoroughly. Product does not lather.For best results use with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Strengthening shampoo. 

   The Garnier Triple Nutrition Range of products come in melon - yellow colored bottles which bear the name of the products along with all the pertinent information about them. A flip cap is attached to the mouth of the bottles for dispensing the product which is quite sturdy like the packaging material as it did not break or cause leakage even after falling on the floor on multiple occasions from my slippery hands!
   Both the shampoo as well as the conditioner have a subtle, pleasing fragrance which lingers for some time even after hair is rinsed thoroughly with water. Consistency-wise though the shampoo is thinner than the conditioner, it is not runny. The shampoo has a creamy - white appearance while the conditioner is more of curdy white in color.
   When it comes to actual usage of the product, both the products work effectively even when only a tiny amount of the product is used. The shampoo lathers abundantly and cleanses hair of all the oiliness and grime and is easy to rinse off. A single cycle of shampooing is more than enough for people who wash their hair daily or on alternate days while those who take a head bath less frequently or those who have oil their hair prior to the head bath would require 2 -3 cycles of shampooing.
   The conditioner though a little tedious to wash off completely, does the job of detangling the hair way better than most of the conditioners I've tried till date even with just a few minutes of application and makes hair very soft and smooth to touch.
   Hair appears softer, smoother, shinier and more lustrous even after a single use of the combo and is more manageable than before! After repeated use, slight reduction in amount of hair fall is seen with an end result of a more nourished and healthier looking mane!

   Pros: 
- Sturdy, travel and user friendly packaging.
- Exquisite lingering fragrance.
- An almost perfect consistency.
- A little amount goes a long way.
- The shampoo lathers abundantly and acts as a good cleanser.
- The conditioner detangles hair well.
- Resultant shinier, more lustrous, softer and smoother hair.
- Tames frizzy hair to make them more manageable.
- Considerable difference in appearance of hair even after a single time use!
- Minor reduction in amount of hair fall.
- Healthier, nourished and better looking hair. 
- Ease of availability.
- Easily affordable.

   Cons:
- Rinsing off the conditioner is a little tedious.
- Weighs down hair if the conditioner is not washed off properly.
- Presence of SLES and other sulphates as core ingredients.

   Verdict: 4.75/ 5. Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition surely made my hair happier than they were before! It completes it's promise of nourishing and strengthening hair from scalp, through lengths to tips, leaving hair strong, nourished, shiny and manageable and gets a big thumbs up from me!
