I was chosen to review this along with the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo and Conditioner. This product is meant to be used while your hair is still damp and before you apply heat to it. I do like the product's fresh and fruity smell. After using this and blow drying my hair, it does leave my hair quite smooth and shiny. The problem is that if I apply this product to the root area, it really weighs my hair down. I don't want that as I have thin hair as it is, so I only apply the product to the ends of my hair. The thing is though, my roots are where I want my color preserved, so it's too bad that I can't use it in the areas where I need it the most. Overall, it's a nice product, but one that I don't necessarily reach for with any regularity.
I was chosen to test this as part of the Chick Advisor Product Club along with Nutrisse hair colour, Fructis Color Sealer Shampoo and Conditioner and this was the only product of the package sent that I wasn't overly impressed with, its not bad by any standards but not nearly as good as my usual hair serum
This product does smell great and a little goes a long way making it great value for money but I found it weighed my hair down a bit and even a small amount over what is needed (which is tiny) left my hair greasy. It is ok if you use it directly after washing your hair and blowdry and style with it in, but I often use my regular serum between washes when styling and this isn't possible with the Fructis Colour Sealer and it weighs my hair down enough that I can't use my regular serum along with the sealer.
Maybe its just my hair type it doesn't suit as it seems to be popular amongst the other people who were chosen to test the line but it is the one product of the set sent I would not buy again
Although I loved the hair color, shampoo and conditioner, I didn't really like the color sealer. I ddn't like the feel of the sealer in my hair. My hair is thin so it didn't help to make my hair full of body. I don't think I would use it for my type of hair.
Garnier Fructis Color Shield Instant Color Sealer is to me more like a gel and i used it after i shower into my damp hair.
I made sure i brushed my hair through because if you don't it is like gel and you will have hair in thick gel spots.
Once brushed through or blown dry it is better.

Thank you Chickadvisor.com for sending me a bottle of the Garnier Fructis Color Shield Instant Color Sealer for review. The Instant Color Sealer product is amazing and it’s a must have! Similar to the Garnier’s Shampoo and Conditioner the sealer smells wonderful!
The product is light weight, and non-greasy to the touch. My color-treated hair is silky soft, sleek, and shiny! This formula controls flyaways, frizz and moisturizes my hair all day long. The seal keeps the colour vibrant and my hair looking healthy.
