Garnier Ultimate Blends Hair Food Cocoa Butter
Best for: Curly, dry, tangled and frizz-prone hair.
Why Danielle recommends it: Danielle first tried this product after looking for something that could help with dry, tangled curls without leaving the same sticky or flaky build-up she had experienced with other products. In her family routine, it is applied to wet hair and has helped make the hair feel softer, easier to detangle and more manageable.
How to use: Apply to wet hair, focusing on the areas that need the most moisture and manageability. Follow the product instructions and adjust the amount based on your hair type and thickness.
Good to know: This product is aimed at curly, dry and frizz-prone hair. It is not intended for straight hair that does not need extra moisture or curl support.
Choosing the right product depends on your hair's current condition, not just your hair type. If you're unsure where to start, book a consultation or ask for advice during your appointment.
