Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Review

Smells like banana - delicious! Although if you don't like fragrance this isn't for you because it's quite a strong smell.

You can use this as a regular conditioner, hair mask or a leave in. I think it's so great that this can be used for more than one thing. I used it mostly as a hair mask a few times a week.

It's very moisturizing without weighing down your hair, which is something I loved. I found it really helped moisturize my dry ends but wasn't too heavy.

Loved how much you get in the container, how easy it is to find in the shops, and that it's cruelty free with mostly natural ingredients. This paired really well with the banana shampoo bar and helped keep dry frizziness at bay for me.

Love my hair smelling like banana.

When you open the container you get a beautiful aroma! I used this in all ways it suggested you do, but I loved the effect most when I put it into my wet hair before running the brush through or drying with the hair dryer. My hair was soft, shiny and smelt gorgeous. I found it best teamed with my normal shampoo, rather than the same scent in a shampoo bar.

Very good pot of conditioner. A sizeable amount, great consistency (you don’t need a whole lot to cover shoulder length hair), and the smell is not overpoweringly banana. The price is fair for the amount you get in a pot, and especially considering that you can use this product 3 ways: conditioner, mask, or leave-in. For me, the results weren’t tremendous, but I do have very dry hair naturally and often dye it at home. I do find that using these Garnier conditioners helps a TONNE to keep my hair shiny and voluminous.

A really yummy smell, like a banana cinnamon smoothie, the smell lasts well and gets less 'foody' and more pleasing when hair dries. This conditioned my hair well when rinsing out in the shower, and when not rinsing it was good for the hair ends, wouldn't put it in dry hair further up though because it makes the hair look separated and strandy. I have thin straight hair and it didn't bog me down too much, it felt nicely healthy after use. One downside is the container is annoying to use in the shower, water gets in easily.

Brought this to try after I used a Shampoo that dried my hair out. I couldn't brush it without it knotting and kept breaking my hair. But after just two washes with this product and NY hair already feels softer and less knotty. I hope to continue to see more improvement with my hair as I continue to use it.

The ingredients list has ‘banana juice’ amongst the top half of the list. I’m not sure if this is from real bananas or a not.

The hair food comes in a generous sized tub, it’s really easy to scoop it a nice decent chunk of product. Admittedly, when using a cream product in the shower, I wish it was in a pulp or squeeze bottle for ease of use and to avoid getting shower water in the container.

The banana flavour is very sweet, almost like a banana bubblegum flavour; it’s a very pleasant smell that I really enjoy.

There are 3 possible uses of the hair food; hair conditioner, hair mask or leave in conditioner. I have tried all three. In all honesty I have a tendency to let conditioners sit in my hair for a minute or so anyway, so I found the use as a mask and conditioner much the same. It did make my hair visibly soft and shiny which I really like. I also loved that I could occasionally get a ‘whiff’ of the banana smell during the day.

When I used it as a leave in conditioner I did not like the results. I have dry, coloured ends but my roots can get greasy. I applied a small amount of product to the ends of my hair when towel dried. My hair looked really dirty and greasy within hours of drying. I wouldn’t use this as a leave in conditioner again.

Overall I really liked the banana hair food, it smells delicious an it works well as a wash out conditioner. I will continue to enjoy using the rest of my tub!

After seeing all the wonderful reviews about this hair mask , I had to try it for myself. My hair type is coloured with dry ends frizzy knotty mess. I picked up my jar from Countdown. I love to sneak in hair products every now and then .

Packaging comes in a generous sized pot . Much bigger than other hair conditioning treatments . Packaging is bright coloured easy to read packaging. Twist top lid.

Consistency is creamy and white in colour thick smooth. Scent is true to Banana scent. Sweet blissful aroma of Bananas.

Application I normally massage a palm full of melts into my hair like butter. Feels silky and smooth upon rinsing out .

Afterwards my frizziness is tamed . I can get the brush through my knotty hair . I’m amazed at the result.

Overall I think price wise it’s fair. One pot lasted me three months . Generous single use per week as a treatment for my hair . Had no reactions. I still had dry ends. Not a complete miracle treatment. I would recommend trying this.

If anyone out there loves their banana, this is product you must try for your hair conditioning needs. It’s a hair mask, conditioner, and leave-in treatment 3 in 1. Although it doesn’t smell strongly of real banana, it’s lovely sweet scent was light enough to make even those who won’t usually go for banana flavours, to keep sniffing it. It was so.. good... I really enjoyed having this scent around me while i was hair washing, too bad the scent didn’t last long. Well, have to consider the fact that it’s a natural product after all... That’s a bonus!

After drying, my long hair felt light and soft, but it looked like it was double straightened with a straightener. It was just hanging down flat straight on both sides of my face looking a little too straight.

However, my hair looked better the next morning i woke up. It had some of it’s bounce back. And was very easy to comb through.

My hair is very straight already, so i tend to love products that can give my dehydrated and sometimes malnourished long hair a little healthy bounce and volume (as well as giving me that silky smoothness feel). However, i don’t think it’s the products fault. I think i’ll love it more after getting that hair cut. But for now, i think the more intensely nourishing macadamia hair food also from the Garnier fructis range worked much better in satisfying my now long hair.

Overall, this product would be a good choice for those who wants to enjoy a nicely scented hair wash ritual with a natural product, and lightly nourished, straight, soft and weight-less hair that’s easy to comb.

Recommend trying out other hair mask products in this Garnier range. Amazingly they even have one in goji berry.

This will not be your savior, If your hair is already split and frizzy etc. it cannot bring it back. However, if your hair is already in good condition i think it helps hydrate and soften. The smell is also amazing!! always get compliments after I do a mask with this. I use this product mostly as an overnight hair mask and sometimes as a leave-in conditioner. I would love to eventually replace this product with something that gives a more dramatic result, however for the price point i'm happy with this.
