Garnier - Sleek and Shine Blow Dry Perfector

OK.. I have some wacky hair.  It has curls and waves that look good wet.. but not so good when dry.  I accidentally happened upon the Garnier  Sleek and Shine Blow Dry Perfector .  It says it will keep your hair sleek and shiny for up to 7 washings.  It had my attention!

When I got the product, I did not read the box too well.   Imagine my surprise when I opened it to use it and a plastic glove was included.  I was too curious to not continue.  So I followed the directions.  For lack of better words, it's like a semi-permanent straightener.  It is heat activated, thus the name blow dry perfector!

First, I washed my hair then I combed in the Smooth It Serum.   I was instructed to let it sit for 20 minutes then rinse out.  It does have an oder, but very livable and short  lived

Next, I put in the Heat-Activated Perfect-It Cream.  It had a nice smell to it. 

I then proceeded to blow my hair dry.  I have chin length hair, but a lot of it so it usually takes me a while to dry it effectively.  Therefore, I typically do not dry my hair, but let my flat iron do the straightening later.  Since it is heat activated, I did as directed.  After blowing my hair dry using a nice round brush, my hair came out shiny and straight!  I did use my flat iron to take seal the deal!  However, I have not had to use my flat iron as often during the week to fix the sleeping on the hair mess that I usually have. 

My hair has stayed in place and I am quite pleased with the results.  Please note that I also work out a lot and sweat profusely.  My hair is soaking wet when I finish.  And yet, my hair still straight when it is dry!  I am in serious like with this product. 

Garnier recommends waiting 2 weeks before applying color.  It was perfect timing. I went to get my roots touched up 2 weeks later and my stylist even commented on how much easier my hair was to style. 

All in all, I see this as a great product to have!!  I will be stopping at my handy dandy Wal-Mart to pick up my next box very soon!
