Hallo

Bei Fructis hat sich die liebe Paula zu vielen Smilies hinreissen lassen...das wollte ich Euch nicht vorenthalten.

Garnier Fructis Hair Care
L'Oreal-owned Garnier has made a name for itself in the United States with its line of permanent haircolors, Nutrisse and Lumia. Their Fructis hair-care line has been available in Europe for some time, where Garnier generates three-quarters of its sales (Source: The Rose Sheet, December 9, 2002, volume 23, page 5).

Fructis claims to make hair five times stronger and five times smoother with its combination of fruit acids, vitamins, and sugar derivatives. Hair can be "fortified" with conditioners to make it less susceptible to breakage and the rigors of heat damage, but it won't be any stronger than with any other conditioner. [The complete Garnier Fructis Hair Care review from the March/April 2003 Cosmetics Counter Update newsletter may be purchased from my site.]

Fortifying Anti-Dandruff Shampoo ($3.99 for 13 ounces) is a standard but good dandruff shampoo that uses 1% zinc pyrithione as the active ingredient, which is considered an effective over-the-counter remedy for some types of dandruff and is standard in most Head & Shoulders brand shampoo products. The shampoo is a gentle formula that contains some silicone, so it can cause buildup with repeated use. The touted vitamins and sugar derivatives are listed after the fragrance, which gives you some idea of how important Garnier really thinks they are.

Fortifying Shampoo + Conditioner, for Normal Hair ($3.99 for 13 ounces) is a very standard "2 in 1" shampoo that uses mild detergent cleansing agents and a large amount of silicone to meet the needs of those who want the convenience of using only one product for their hair. Although this is an option, the silicone will build up on hair with repeated use, and this is best alternated with another shampoo that does not contain conditioning agents.

Fortifying Cream Conditioner, for Dry or Damaged Hair ($3.99 for 13 ounces) is a good, though completely standard, conditioner for normal to fine hair. It is similar to many of the other conditioners sold in L’Oreal’s main line, such as Color Vive and Forta Vive. There is more fragrance in this product than there is of the supposedly hair-strengthening fruit acids and sugars.

Fortifying Deep Conditioner 3 Minute Masque ($3.99 for 5 ounces) may sound like a rich treatment product for hair, but is essentially the same conditioner formula as the other Fructis conditioners, with additional amounts of thickener to give the product a creamier consistency. It isn’t a bad choice if you have normal to fine hair, but those with dry, thick, or coarse hair will find this is not emollient enough to manage their hair types.

Apropos Haare, wie weit sind Deine Bemühungen denn hinsichtlich der Haarkur gediehen? Bist Du schon fündig geworden?

Die Shampoos sind wirklich nicht schlecht, vor allen Dingen das Schuppenshampoo - hat auch bei Stiftung Warentest mit "Gut" abgeschnitten.

Außerdem hat Paula's Newsletter jetzt ein neues buntes und endlich lesbares Format

Hallo Perlchen

Im Moment habe ich mich nicht weiter drum gekümmert, sondern es nochmal mit der Biotherm versucht. Aber nee, no way, das Teil haut mich echt nicht vom Hocker

Ich muß mich nochmal umschauen Wahrscheinlich hole ich mir demnächst im DM mal dieses Swiss o Par Teilchen.

EInen Versuch ist es ja wert! Und vor allem kann man bei dem Preis nicht soviel kaputt machen...
Also, viel Erfolg!
