After reading all the fantastic reviews I decided to add this one to my stash . I got this one along with the Goji berry one.My hair is thick and dry especially on the ends .
Packaging comes in a large sized pot . Labelling is bright and reminiscent of the fruit . Consistency is thick and creamy . This scent reminds me of freshly sliced papayas. It takes me on a tropical journey with this sweet explosion of summery fruits. I like to grab a table spoon of it .I brush it through my thick hair . It melts in easily . I like to leave it in for a few hours . The longest ever was a 9 hour shift . I know naughty . But when I got home and rinsed it out my hair was soft and hydrated. My hair smelled wonderful. I like to use it as my leave in conditioner . I don’t have hair drying time in the morning. This saves my hair from having a damp smell.
So far my tub has lasted me over a month with daily usage . Sometimes I reduce to every second to third day . It’s priced fairly . When I see it on special I buy it . I’ll keep buying this one.
i love hair masks, and i love these garnier hair masks. they're affordable, are generous with their sizing and they last literally forever because you don't need heaps! and they are nearly always on sale somewhere for half price! what more could you want!!!
i bought papaya not expecting to be wowed, and more to finish my fruit cocktail of hair masks (i already had the banana and goji). me being me i couldn't wait and i mixed all 3 together and used them - heaven. my hair smelled so darn good i wanted to eat it.
by itself though, this mask is great. the smell is fruity but not overpowering. it's enough to make you wanna shake your body while using it and sing the pina colada song. this is a repairing mask so i was interested to see if it was going to help my ends or not, or just help in general.
to be honest i didn't notice it repair anything, but man the hydration! my hair felt salon soft! i applied it as a hair mask to damp hair (i sprayed my hair with a spray bottle), and then i placed all of it in a hot towel for 5 minutes before showering and shampooing it out. i followed with a tiny bit of this down the ends and rinsed. salon soft, i'm telling you!!!
it may not be expensive but man it's impressive. the size, the impact it has, the smell alone... it's just a glorious product. im so glad garnier made these, for real. they're going to be a staple in my cupboard for a long time yet. this is definitely a hype i'm glad i bought into.
