Garnier Fructis Hair Food Goji Review

Upon first look I loved the packaging and the product smells amazing! Instructions are clear and I can’t wait to use it. Using the product: I found it difficult to scoop it out using wet hands, and once I had scooped it out, returning the lid with the creme on my hands was was hard to do and I ended up losing some of it on the lid. But once it was on my hair it was great - no greasy conditioner feeling, no fake chemical smell. Washing it off was so easy and my hair felt so smooth. I let my hair dry naturally and even had a few comments about the nice smell. The most wonderful thing was usually my hair gets pretty greasy fast and i’m pretty sure this product was easing some of the greasiness. So overall I was pretty happy with the actual product and the results it produces my hair truly feels softer! but a little unhappy about the mess on my bathroom shelf everytime I used it.

Let's start by saying that during winter my hair and skin become very dehydrated. On my skin I use a lot of hydrating products and on my poor coloured hair I need to step up my game. A recent convert to hair masks I had actually dropped and cracked my one, so the timing for this one was serendipidous.

Firstly the packaging is HUGE! You get a lot or product in here. I liked that Garnier were straight up about this not being 100% natural, but very close to. I really respect the transparency there.

The smell was very sweet, but I like it, especially first thing in the morning when you're feeling a little less fresh, having something so fruity and fragrant is lovely on the senses.

The product itself is white, thick and creamy. You can use this as a conditioner, a mask or a leave in conditioner. I used mine as a conditioner and mask. I really liked that there was a lot or product because I could really cover my long hair from root to top and make sure all the goodness covered everything. And because it's sulphate free I didn't have to worry about it stripping my hair of colour.

The result was that my hair was soft, silky and smooth. I found I didn't need as much hair oil to tame the frizz which is awesome and has left my hair a lot lighter in weight.

It definitely does what it says, and for a drugstore brand I'm really impressed. Garnier really came to the party!

I love all of the Garnier Hair Food 'flavours' but I think this is my favourite purely because it smells amazing. I can't identify a difference in benefits to my hair between the scents - they're all fantastic.

It certainly conditions and nourishes like all the others. I don't tend to shampoo my hair all that often instead choosing to use this product to clean and condition my hair and it does a great job. My once dry frizzy looking hair has great shine and looks healthy thanks to using this product. As for my colour, I think it looks just the same, rather than radiant and bright but that's okay because my hair feels great and is so easy to style thanks to this product.

I use this on my little girls hair too - which is crazy and curly and the frizz has calmed down and the curls are better defined. She LOVES her tub of hair food - makes the suggestion of washing her hair a breeze!

I use this mask as a conditioner, mask and as a leave in. It doesn't leave my fine hair oily or lifeless. It just feels and looks great.

Before I opened the container I could smell the delicious product, smells good enough to eat, and it just gets better! You can use this product in 3 different ways and I have tried all 3 and to be honest it is a dream product! It works as a conditioner, mask and leave in conditioner. My hair feels amazing especially the day after using it as a mask. The container is large and you don't need much, I have thick long hair and I was surprised at the little amount I needed. I regularly color my hair and this product does exactly what it says it does, my hair feels amazing and looks shiny! I am sold, I will definitely be continuing to use this product! And will be recommending to everyone I know.

A large container a whopping 390 mills of a very thick white delicious conditioner The fragrance is reminds me of a yummy berry yogurt sweet with a bit of a tang.

As a conditioner a tablespoon rubbed into my ends and worked up to the roots made my hair feel silky smooth but as my hair dried it felt dry and not overly conditioned. After a few goes a good blob of this and left to soak in for 5 minutes did a much better job, I still felt like I needed something else I was left a bit fluffy.

As a leave in I tried this in my hair when it was damp just worked a small amount through my ends, I was left with hair that felt slightly dirty, it is to heavy for my hair and I tried even less the next time like pea sized and still felt the same.

Was feeling very disappointed at this stage, as I was expecting much more. I used it as a mask after shampoo I applied it and left it to work its magic for half an hour then rinsed well, but was left feeling a little greasy, I also tried it for at least an hour with a shower cap over top to keep it warm so it could work it’s magic, I was still left thinking I need something more to condition my mop.

Then as a pre wash I worked a generous amount into my dirty hair and scalp, left it on for well over an hour, hit the shower and gave my hair a good shampoo (twice) didn’t follow with any conditioner And wow I was left silky smooth shiny no flyaways, silky soft hair and not fluffy with a lovely fragrance.

Quite nice and such a good price, it’s nice an natural. I’m left in two minds about it.

After hearing so many good things about the Garnier Hair Food, I just had to have it. I have dyed hair so choose Goji Berry. I paid around $13 but you can often get them for half price at Countdown.

I love the packaging! Vibrant colours and in a tub which looks like yoghurt. I quite like the tub, it is easy to scoop out the right amount and the lid is easy to screw on and off.

It is quite thick and OMG it smells heavenly. The scent is super strong. I prefer to use this as a conditioner which I leave on for about 5 minutes as I go about my shower. It spreads well and washes out easily.

My hair is left smelling amazing and is super soft and shiny. I have less frizz and overall it looks healthy and beautiful. My hair never feels greasy or limp. I get no colour wash out using this. I love this range and look forward to trying the other flavours! A big thumbs up from me :-)

This mask like the other two smells divine. Its smells so fruity and not over powering either which is great if you are sensitive to fragrance.

Like the other two I tried, it comes in a big pot and I mean really big so much so that you have to keep wondering why it is so cheap. Such great value for money and the whole family can use it.

I've been getting great results from this mask, hair is soft, shiny and just feels and looks healthy. And of course my hair smells so good. I can't stop putting my hands through my hair because it feels so silky.

I would definitely buy again and would love to try the other ones in the range.

Highly recommend as it is such a versatile product - used as a conditioner after shampooing, mask while in the shower or a leave in treatment. Whichever method you use, you will get great results.

The goji berry one is fine. It had medium slip and leaves my hair quite happy. I have thick curls and it doesn't quite have the slip needed to get through the knottiest of days. I will continue to use what's left but won't buy again. It smells lovely

Before even opening the packet I could already smell how good it was! I love that it not only smells good but it's 98% natural! This is such a versatile product that doesn't weigh your hair down. I also love how it can be used three different ways.

I was super stoked to get on this trial, because I love hair products and I love my hair! I knew the tub was big but I didn't realize it was THIS big, a whopping 390 grams of delicious hair mask. In my experience hair masks come in 200g or smaller amounts, so I was very pleased to have such a large amount.

The product is a creamy off white and holy sh* is it thick!!! It also smells absolutely glorious! I'm not sure if it's goji berry esque, but it's still very nice. It applies very easily, I start from the tip of my hair and work backwards. It's easier to apply to wet hair but it's not impossible to apply on dry. Onto the results!

As conditioner: Less is definitely more with this. I applied maybe the amount of a 5c piece and found that it was plenty to cover my hair. Rinsing out my hair felt silky and smooth but once it was all out it kinda felt... dry? Like I hadn't put any in at all. I refrained from adding more and dried it partially au natural, partially with the help of my hair dryer. My hair felt soft and hydrated, even the super faded color looked good. I think I had less frizzy flyaways too. My only gripe is that my hair felt a little heavier than usual, and it got oilier faster than usual.

As a leave in: Again, less is definitely more! I ran my finger over the top of the product once for each side (so twice) and that was plenty for my tips. However it made my hair heavy, and was harder to brush - with oil it brushes easily and feels soft to the touch, it was the opposite with this. My hair didn't feel all that soft, it was weighed down but it smelled good. Not sure that's a selling point but! However after I rinsed it out the next day in the shower, my hair felt really good.

As a mask: I've tried this two ways, before shampooing and after shampooing like suggested. My preferred method is the former, simply because of how my hair reacted to this as a conditioner - I didn't want to shampoo my hair and condition and THEN have this on top. Too heavy and it would have been a waste of shampooing in my opinion.

I applied the mask and left it for a good 20 minutes, as my opinion of hair masks is - if they claim to do something, it's going to take longer than 1 minute to achieve that result. Rinsing and shampooing it out was easy peasy, and next time I'd use way less conditioner than I did on this occasion. The smell of the hair mask is enough to overpower my shampoo and conditioner combined! I also think shampooing it after the mask is better because my hair is definitely less heavy and incredibly soft. This is by far my preferred method of use for this hair product, and I'd happily repurchase (but of course in a different smell!)
