Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Conditioner

Initially when it arrived in the mail, I liked the packaging, which looked like a bottle of milk, but smelt like a tropical breeze. It's a unique looks for a conditioner bottle which I quite like. The smell is divine and lingers post washing. Initially I wasn't sure it was doing a lot, and thought it just smelt nice. However, every time I've looked in the mirror this week, I appear to be having a good hair day and I've decided it cannot be a coincidence. My hair has become lovely smooth hair (less frizz), which looks possibly the healthiest it's ever been, sitting nicely and I don't really have to do anything with it (like I don't even blow-dry my hair, it now just dries nicely). I'd recommend this to everyone and will use again.

So before you read any further I’ve been using Olaplex conditioner as my primary conditioner for about… 4 years. I have curly hair prone to dryness/frizz that has been professionally coloured every 6 months or so including lightener.

Packaging: These bottles are really cute and I love that they’re 100% recyclable, made from 50% recycled plastic, have a vegan formula and are silicone free. The lid is easy to open when my hands are wet, and its fairly easy to pour the amount I want.

Product: The conditioner was definitely runnier than I expected (again, I’m used to Olaplex which definitely has a thick creamy feeling). It smoothed out my hair after the shampoo fairly well but I did feel a bit like I wanted to condition twice or have a thicker product. My partner has been exclusively using this since we got it and says “Conditioner felt super lovely and creamy, rinsed out easy and now my hair is real soft.” His hair isn’t quite as soft as it was with Olaplex, but definitely smooth and smells lovely.

The verdict: This is definitely an “ok” product. It smells great, it works fairly well and I think for most hair types that aren’t of the moisture craving variety – this would be an excellent option. For me its not quite there, but will definitely be a backup, and I’ll buy it for my partner/guests to use.

As with the shampoo this smells amazing. It lathers well and a small amount goes a long way. Reasonably priced and sourced easily. Made my hair feel nourished and I will be buying it in the future.

My hair is very dry and damaged due to colouring, particularly on the ends. I used this conditioner and my hair looked and felt better after the first time. The conditioner itself, is light weight so didn't weigh my hair down. It also smells incredible

Like the shampoo bottle, this reminds me of a bottle of juice. White bottle (recyclable) with a pop top lid. Simple instructions, (it is conditioner) and lots of info on the labels. 98% natural origin (fantastic). The conditioner is white and reminds me of the consistency of fruit yoghurt (so comes out quite quick). It smells almost juicy (if juicy smells), not as strong as the shampoo. Distributes easily through my hair and rinses out easily. Hair is left tangle free and easy to brush, so less damaging to my hair. Leaves my hair hydrated without leaving it looking or feeling oily. Loving this conditioner so far.

I was super excited to try this conditioner, after using the shampoo. Comes in a generous 350ml, 100% recyclable bottle, in a fun design. A little product goes a long way and was fabulous to use and smells absolutely divine, felt like I had been transported to a tropical paradise. It made my hair feel super nourished, tangle free and shiny with a long lasting beautiful tropical smell. Highly recommend this Conditioner, it has a 98% vegan formula, with no silicone and is dermatologically tested. I also give Garnier a massive tick for not testing on animals since 1998.

I like the smell and the texture of Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Conditioner which isn't to sticky so it makes my hair stay nice for a long time without getting oily. I usually have problems with conditioners that makes my hair oily and I don't see any problems with oily hair using this product. The only thing I noticed was I needed to use a lot of conditioner to detangle my hair and I feel like I'm using more conditioner than usual. Overall, I would still use this because of the smell.

First of all the fragrance is lovely, and did not make my hair limp lime so many other conditioners do. Lime that the fragrance is scented coconut, papaya, very nice and does not smell artificial in any way Bottle is nice to handle although a little small and possibly you could use the conditioner up in two washes because if you had long hair

This conditioner has the same really nice scent as the shampoo, just not as intense. While I did like this conditioner, something that I look for in a conditioner is one that is really thick and creamy and is easy to apply to my long-ish strands. While this conditioner ticked the creamy box, I found that it was a bit too runny of a consistency for my liking, which made it trickier to apply to long hair and also doesn't really fit with what I would think of for a repairing conditioner (something super thick and nourishing - almost like a hair mask!). A nice product, but I might look for a thicker conditioner next time I need a replacement!

This conditioner has been amazing for my hair. At the moment my hair is very sad because I have bleached and colored it. It needs a lot more tlc than usual and this conditioner has been lovely to it. My hair feels a lot more healthy and when I put a brush through it, its not so knotted and the brush doesn't pull. My hair has a lovely shine to it and just looks so much better. The fragrance of this is amazing. I absolutely love it and I've had compliments about it smells so nice as well. The bottle is great too, I'm loving that the company is trying to help the environment with less plastic in their bottles.
