Garnier Fructis Curls Method Pre-Shampoo

The Garnier Fructis Curls Method Pre-Shampoo is a compelling addition for anyone following a curl-care routine or looking to deeply hydrate and prep their hair before cleansing. Its rich, humectant-heavy formula delivers noticeably softer, more manageable curls and eases detangling—ideal for wash-day indulgence. The blend of 20% Hyaluronic Moisture Complex, shea, and peptides supports a healthy, moisturized structure, while its exclusion of sulfates, silicones, and alcohol aligns with gentle curl care. The texture is luxurious and salon-like, with a lift in curl “bounce” and definition. That said, expectations need careful management: it’s not a miracle overnight fix and works best in conjunction with the full 4-step Method. My hair is fine so used just a little of the product to avoid build up. Ideal for you if: you embrace multi-step routines, crave extra hydration, live for soft, defined curls and don’t mind treating yourself to a spa-like wash-day experience.

I was excited to try this as the first step in Garnier’s new Curls Method routine, and it definitely feels like a thoughtful addition to curl care. The pre-shampoo is creamy, lightweight, and easy to apply through damp hair before cleansing. I like that it’s designed to hydrate from the start rather than relying only on conditioner afterwards, and it feels nourishing without being heavy. My curls (wavy to curly) did feel softer and more manageable after using it, and I noticed less frizz once my hair dried. It also pairs nicely with the rest of the routine. The formula with hyaluronic acid is a plus — it locks in a lot of hydration with the moisture boost noticeable for several days, and it left my hair feeling bouncier and healthier overall. One thing to keep in mind is that, as a pre-shampoo, it adds an extra step to wash day, which may not appeal to everyone. But if your curls are prone to dryness or need that extra hit of hydration, it’s definitely worth trying. Overall, it’s a smart, science-backed product that makes curls feel more hydrated and defined, especially when used as part of the whole Curls Method system.

I recently tried the Garnier Fructis Curls Method Pre-shampoo, which is step one in a 4 step process culminating in hydrated hair. I love the fun and bright packaging. The texture of the pre shampoo feels rich, creamy and pearl like. It was very easy to work with while using my fingers to spread through my hair. It felt like it was not only hydrating, but also cleansing my scalp of any built up residue. It provided a good start for the shampoo. After using it and the rest of the steps, I noticed my curls were more defined, bouncy and hair looked healthier, hydrated with less frizz. I noticed these results after the second use of the products. The scent is fresh, zesty and lovely. I didn't have to shampoo my hair any more or less when using the products. I haven't used a pre-shampoo previously and am pleasantly surprised.

This Garnier Fructis Curls Method Pre-Shampoo has been better than I expected! I never used a pre- condition before but found it has worked well for my hair texture and only need to use a small amount for a great result. This Smell great and my curls feel so much better than before I'm so impressed with my hair and have been using it with the rest of this Garnier Fructis Curls Method range. I was thinking that this might leave my hair feeling heavy or oily but pleasantly surprised that it's not and instead looks lush and hydrated. I super happy with it.

The Pre-shampoo is step one in a 4 step curls method program for curly/frizzy hair by Garnier Fructis. The smell is fresh and I found it to be quite thick but easy to spread and moisturizing on my hair. My curly hair can become frizzy at times depending on the humidity and this helped keep my curls bouncy and soft. I have never used a pre-shampoo before and the only down would be having to leave it on for 5 mins before washing which is hard if I am in a hurry. I would therefore use it but probably not on every wash but more when I am going out and want my hair to look its best.

I found this pre-shampoo a great addition to the washing process and really helped clean and hydrate my hair. Curls can often end up feeling so dry after shampooing but this product meant the lengths and ends of my hair felt clean and not dried out and knotted. It made the shampooing after using this much easier and more focussed on cleaning the roots and scalp and continuing with the hydration. The size is perfect as you don’t need to use heaps as it spreads well through the hair. It is great value and accessible with a great price and availability

This was my first time using a 4-part curly hair range. I was unsure at first but I am glad I tried it as I'm really impressed with this product (Number 1 of 4). It’s easy to use, feels nice in my hair, and left my curls feeling soft and hydrated. As someone who’s struggled with dry, curly hair, this product was a game-changer. My daughter also tried it and loved it! It’s definitely a great addition to my routine and has made a noticeable difference in the health of my curls. Highly recommend!

I didn't even know what a pre shampoo was before trying this! I was initially quite skeptic, thinking it would just make my showers so much longer and take more time than was needed, but it helped strengthen my hair! I noticed a lot less dehydration and less breakage, especially when combing out my hair straight after a shower! Always a win when you have thin hair! The thick texture was also a bit worrying about whether it would weigh down my hair, but it washed out very well. It also added to my self care routine and everything shower, so was happy with the overall benefit to my hair care routine.

Pre shampoo isn’t really something I’d used before, but I think it may have to be a staple in my routine! I was a bit skeptical at first but I’ve noticed it actually does make my hair feel more hydrated compared to the few times I’ve skipped it. I’ve noticed my hair feels more moisturised, and is less dry and frizzy. It makes my waves more prominent too. It also makes my hair smell amazing, which is a huge plus. It's definitely a product I didn’t know I needed in my life, and I’ll be repurchasing the bottle once I’ve run out.

I never really understood the whole pre-shampoo thing before trying the Garnier Fructis Curls Method Pre-Shampoo, it really just felt like another step that already took too long. But now that I’ve used it a few times, I completely get it and it's now a part of my regular routine. What I notice immediately is how much softer and stronger my curls feel after washing. No more rough, dry ends or that stripped feeling at the roots. It’s like it gives my hair a protective moisture cushion before cleansing even starts. If you’re struggling with dryness, breakage, or just want to give your curls a little extra love, this pre-shampoo is totally worth adding to your routine. It felt like an extra step at first, but now it’s one I look forward to because of how much healthier and hydrated my hair feels. Definitely a new staple for my wash days.

I loved trying the Garnier Fructis Curls Method Pre-Shampoo! Its a creamy texture with fruity scent and not overpowering. I applied it section by section and my hair absorbed it really well. After one application, my waves were noticeably softer, smoother, and more defined. It helped tame the frizz, added bounce, and allowed me to extend the time between washes without any heaviness or greasiness. Though it’s an additional step, for me it’s a game-changer for boosting hydration and helping with the wave definition. It will be something I use for those days when my thick hair needs extra love,

The Garnier Fructis Curls Method Pre-Shampoo has been a game changer for my curls. I tried it along with the rest of products in the line. It smells fresh and feels super lightweight, but delivers deep hydration that makes my hair soft, defined, and frizz-free. I love that it’s clean, vegan, and free from sulfates and silicones. Using it before shampoo has made such a difference—my curls feel stronger, bouncier, and stay hydrated for days. Definitely a must-try if your curls need extra love! I definitely recommend using the pre-shampoo along with the shampoo, hair mask and spray!

I’d never tried a pre-shampoo before, so was a bit sceptical as to whether it was necessary or what difference it would make. However, I enjoyed using this product and found it to be an easy addition to my hair wash days. I ended up using less shampoo than usual to cleanse my scalp, as I found that it felt cleaner and softer more quickly and lathered up quite nicely. This was easy to apply throughout my hair, had a pleasant scent, and as part of the full 4-step routine did not make my hair feel greasy or weighed down. Rather, it felt hydrated, light, soft and smooth. I will continue to use this as part of my regular hair washing routine, as my curls after using all 4 products were well-formed, held their shape, and dried with great volume and shine.

The pre-shampoo treatment by the Garnier Fructis curls method range was a great product to prep hair before washing. It helped keep moisture in the hair before shampoo treatment and allowed for easier detangling. The bottle design made it easy to apply and had a very lovely smell. Using a pre-shampoo product I noticed my hair less knotty after washing and less dry, this product helps lock in moisture right at the start of the hair treatment routine. I used this product in conjunction with the other 3 steps of the curls method and overall I was not satisfied by the result. It left my hair feeling quite clumpy and knots more easily formed the next day with a lack of hydration feel. The pre-shampoo treatment on its own I believed with work wonderfully in conjunction with different products. Would definitely recommend this individual product to someone but not the whole range.

First of all, thank you to BeautyCrew and Garnier for the opportunity to trial this product. I was really excited to try out the Garnier Fructis Curls method products. I’ve always had wavy hair, but the older I’ve gotten, my hair has become more and more frizzy, especially the last couple of years where the waves have started to turn into curls. I’ve never used a pre-shampoo before, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Right from the first use, I loved everything about it. The packaging is a light but bright green that really catches your eye and draws you to look closer. The texture of the Pre-Shampoo was very creamy but also lightweight. It’s designed to be used on damp hair, and I found that it was very easy to apply to the lengths of my hair, and I didn’t need to use much of the product to get an even application. After leaving it on for the recommended 5 minutes, I found it rinsed out very well and left my hair feeling already instantly smoother, more hydrated, and with bouncy, defined waves and curls. It made me super excited to see the results of the other products that I was yet to use. I also need to mention that I absolutely love the scent of these products. It’s a light, fruity floral fragrance that smells absolutely divine, and even if I wasn’t super impressed with the results, I would seriously consider using them anyway based on how they smell. Overall, I was very impressed with the results of the Garnier Fructis Curls Method Pre-Shampoo, and it’s a product that I will definitely continue to use and purchase in the future.

I'm used to only using natural products as a pre cleanser so at first was sceptical of this product but it exceeded my expectations. It has a nice scent to it which isn't over powering. I used this as part of the 4 step system and was impressed overall with how my hair looked and felt afterwards. As someone with wavy curly hair its hard to find products that don't just weigh it down and make it look oily or dirty. The system worked very well for me and I would purchase again. Recommend you try if you have wavy/curly hair. Also feel as though my hair stayed wash fresh for a little longer than normal.

This pre wash has quite a thick consistency, I find that you need to use more product than expected. When I used this product i felt it left my hair feeling soft, moisturised, and easier to manage. I felt it was more hydrated. The pre wash was easy to incorporate into my existing routine, not complicated at all. I was surprised it didn't weigh my hair down. However, with my long, thick, frizz-prone hair I found that it didn't fully combat frizz or hold the curls well. Love that this product is sulfate, silicone, alcohol, mineral oil and artificial colourants free.

I absolutely love this shampoo that I got as a trial for beauty crew!!! I usually try the more expensive salon formulas as I have always felt that they seem to keep my curls more defined and less frizzy. The shampoo wasn’t drying and definitely controlled any frizzing that I normally experience especially having thick curly hair. I loved the scent and the texture of the shampoo wasn’t drying really lovely and foamed up really well. I definitely will be purchasing this shampoo again as I was so impressed as it was better value for money for doing the same thing as my more expensive shampoo!!!

As someone who has naturally curly hair, i absolutely loved this product! I usually prefer to straighten my hair because it's quite hard to manage since it's so curly and can frizz and dry out with the cold weather but this product was amazing to keep my curls looking very natural and bouncy without my hair looking dried out. I found that I did need to do two washes as I prefer not to wash my hair every day and I did have to spend a bit of extra time waiting for the shampoo to wash out but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed using this shampoo and the fruity smell is a big bonus.

I Tried this garnier Pre-Shampoo for my wavy curls hair , My curls felt butter soft before even I shampooed. And yes no hesitate try it on and instantly my hair feels so much softer, and detangling was actually painless for once, no breakage, and the scent? Just divine. I applied it before shampooing, let it sit for a few minutes, and my curls came out feeling nourished, my waves drink it up and I got my natural look for my wavy hair. No more heavy build up, no dryness, Bonus : just juicy happy wavy curls 💚 Definitely adding this to my regular wash day routine tho !!! Love it
