Hell itself spat it out.
It's Garnier's drug-store answer to the Brazilian Blow Out, and since it only "Lasts up to 7 shampoos!" I gave it a shot. Tames frizz? Easier, faster blow dries?!? Sign me up!
I won't even go into the painful details of applying it and having my entire house reek of sulfur and 80's perm and Super Mutant Rotten Eggs...or that my hair still releases eau de perm funk as soon as water hits it. No, I'm more upset that it completely fucked my hair.
The Blow Dry Perfector made my hair lifeless, stiff, more frizzy, and coated in some sort of tacky grime. But the best part? It ate a good 3 inches of my ends! Like, gnarled them up into twisted, split, deformed bits of yuck.
Hawt.
I have highlights. I flat iron my hair. And to be fair, the box did warn that peeps with "damaged" hair shouldn't use it--but I don't consider 6 month old half-highlights and flat iron use to lump me into the DAMAGED category. No way should a $10 product sold in Target do that to my hair!
A salon cut, a deep conditioning treatment, and $50 later my hair looks healthy again--at shoulder length. I lost over 5 inches of hair, Garnier.
YOU SUCK. And you need to recall that shit before you get sued.

Oh no! That's the worst thing I ever heard about a real person and a real product. Your poor hair!!Keep your eyes open, there may be a class action suit out there with their name on it!!
Oooh, thanks for the heads' up - Mommy usually likes Garnier... I'm sure your new cut looks great!
Holy CRAP! I hope you fired of a nasty missive to Garnier customer service. YIKES.
OMG. I totally briefly considered buying this except then I remembered that Garnier skincare products are the absolute worst so I decided to wait a bit.
Thanks for the warning!!!
Phew.
damn, what a nightmare
Oh my God. I am so glad that I don't bother with my hair sometimes. I would be writing them a massive letter.
I'd totally skip customer service and go straight to the top - someone should pay for this!
I'd never heard of this product - but would have probably tried it if not for your warning.
Thanks so much for the warning! I had just gotten a coupon and was going to give it a try!
OMG! Thanks for the warning! I would have tried this if you hadn't posted that! How horrible.
OMG! I say sue their asses for all the money they have! A product should not be available if it is going to destroy someone's hair!
Thanks for the heads up I was actually contemplating getting some for myself. I have struggled with frizzy hair all my life...especially when the humidity is damp....I definitely don't need this!
I had the exact same results. They really do need to recall the crap!
