Garnier Fructis Hair Filler Bonding Pre-Shampoo Treatment, 10.1 fl oz — 15% Peptides, Sulfate-Free

Garnier Fructis Hair Filler Bonding Inner Fiber is a pre-shampoo treatment formulated with 15% peptides and citric acid to repair internal hair bonds and prime strands for smoother, stronger-looking hair.

This rinse-out pre-shampoo step is designed to work as the first part of Garnier's Hair Filler system to rebuild the hair fiber from the inside out. The formula targets the cortex — the inner structure of the strand — to strengthen weakened bonds while remaining free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, DMDM Hydantoin, and mineral oil. It's cruelty-free and vegan, making it a straightforward addition to a multi-step routine for anyone who wants improved texture and resilience without harsh ingredients.

How does this pre-shampoo treatment help damaged or thinning hair?

The treatment deposits peptides and citric acid into the hair fiber to support bond rebuilding deep within the cortex, helping strands resist breakage and look fuller over time. Used regularly as Step 1 in the Hair Filler system, it prepares hair to better receive follow-up products like shampoo, conditioner, and serum.

• Contains 15% peptides plus citric acid to reinforce inner fiber bonds.
• Targets weakened strands to reduce the appearance of breakage and improve texture.
• Designed to be rinsed out before shampooing, so it integrates into regular wash days.

When and how should I use this product in my routine?

Apply this pre-shampoo treatment to dry or damp hair before you lather up: leave it on for about five minutes, then rinse and follow with your chosen Garnier Hair Filler shampoo, conditioner, and serum. For best results, incorporate it into every wash as the first step of the four-part system.

• Step 1: Apply evenly, leave for 5 minutes, then rinse.
• Step 2–4: Use Hair Filler shampoo, conditioner and finishing serum from the same line.
• Use with each wash to maintain cumulative inner-fiber repair benefits.

Is the formula safe for color-treated or sensitive hair?

The formula avoids common irritants such as sulfates and parabens, and it contains no mineral oil or phthalates, making it suitable for many color-treated or sensitized scalps. However, always patch-test new products and consult your stylist if you have specific color or scalp concerns.

• Sulfate-free and paraben-free to minimize stripping of color and oils.
• Vegan and Leaping Bunny certified — formulated without animal-derived ingredients.
• If you have a sensitive scalp, test on a small area before full application.

What visible changes can I expect and how soon?

While inner bond repair works progressively, many users notice smoother, softer-looking hair and improved manageability after consistent use within the full Hair Filler routine. Structural improvements from peptides help hair feel stronger and appear healthier as layers of the fiber become reinforced.

• Immediate: improved slip and smoother feel after rinsing and styling.
• Short term (weeks): reduced breakage and better manageability with regular use.
• Best results when used as part of the complete Hair Filler system for layered benefits.

Who is this for: This pre-shampoo bonding treatment is aimed at people seeking to strengthen weakened or damaged hair, improve strand texture, and support fuller-looking hair without sulfates or other harsh additives. It suits those who want a cruelty-free, vegan option within a multi-step repair routine and prefer rinse-out treatments that fit into existing wash-day practices.
