Got caught up in the marketing hype behind this product and also the fact that it looked and smelt so delicious. Nice and thick upon application. Unfortunately it was too heavy for my hair and left it feeling greasy and unwashed. My teen daughter who has completely different hair texture to me also found her results the same so we did not finish the product.

I love this hair treatment!
I use this as a hair mask after I use conditioner. It smells amazing and is so nourishing. It helps to make my hair more manageable and my hair is more hydrated after using it. It really helps with my usually dry and damaged hair. I've also noticed less frizz after using this product as well!

Amazing for curly hair
I’ve only just started my curly girl hair journey, part of that was getting new hair products of course! I didn’t want to spend a fortune so when this was recommended as a curly girl approved product I was so happy since it’s so inexpensive! It smells divine! I’ve been using it to co-wash my hair and my hair feels so much more healthy and hydrated, and my curls has returned! The product is thick which I love, and feels amazing going through my hair.
Tips: If you have curly hair this product is great! Use it both as shampoo and conditioner!

Totally Bananas for this hair mask!!
Bought 2 when on a deal with Countdown upon a friend's recommendation for my curly ( type-3C) hair. First off, the smell is amazing, quite strong and fruity. the hair food is much thicker and creamier than a normal conditioner! All the ingredients are natural and you can definitely tell it is a great product from the texture! For me personally, I did not enjoy using it as a conditioner but found it to be the most PERFECT hair mask! It sets your hair up really well and a small amount of this applied works really for a lot of hair! If you want to define or create curls, this is the perfect setting hair food! It made my hair so soft and so smooth (I often use straighteners!!) - it really seals in the moisture and makes your stronger and appear shiny and healthy! Created a beautiful bounce to my hair!
Tips: Buy 2 tubs if you are going to use this as a conditioner as it will go really quickly! If you are looking for hair mask, one tub should be fine for starters! :)

Great
Smells great, does a great job for my dry hair and works really well to detangle it.
I use it twice a week as a conditioning treatment in the shower
Tips: You only need a little bit as it goes a long way

Sadly not for me
I purchased this after seeing all the rave reviews about the product and how it had done wonders for everybody's hair. I had ran out of my salon product and popped into a store to buy something and seen this on special and though to myself - why the heck not?
The smell is yummy! I have only tried the banana one but I can imagine the rest smell just as good.
The texture is thick, as to be expected with any hair treatment product. But what gets me is that you can use it several ways, including as a leave in.
I sadly didn't end up using all of this as I found it just didn't work for my hair. It didn't feel any different, nor did it fell repair, moisturised in comparison to normal. The only thing was that it felt heavier.
Would I buy it again? No. Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes. The reason being everyone has different hair types and people find that one thing works for them and doesn't for someone else. Plus it's cheap so why not?1

Perfect for my daughter's hair
I've used this has a hair mask, conditioner and leave in conditioner for my daughter's hair. It leaves her hair so soft and manageable. Hair washing has become a breeze and there's no tears due to knots with this product. We love it, and she loves the banana scent.

I enjoyed using this product. I liked trialing it.
I have curly thick dry hair and this product has Curly hair-friendly ingredients. So if you have curly hair I would recommend giving this a go.
Personally, I thought this cream was hydrating, but I really did not like my hair smelling like a banana. The smell over time really turns weird. I have dry hair so I don't shampoo my hair more than once a week so this stayed on my hair for a week or 6 days, so i didn't enjoy smelling banana on my hair which is weird.
I do think it's hydrating for my hair, so i would use this as a conditioner or hair mask that i would wash off after. So i wouldn't apply it as a leave in conditioner
Tips: Use as a hair mask unless you want your hair smelling like a banana for the week, you can apply it as a leave in cream.
