Garnier Hair Food Shampoo Bar - Banana

I haven't traditionally liked shampoo bars as much as regular shampoo because I've found them drying. This is definitely one of the better ones I've tried because it was a lot less drying than most bar type shampoos.

The smell is really lovely, I love banana! However, a note of caution - if you are not a fan of stronger smells then this isn't for you because certainly not a light fragrance, it's pretty strong.

The bar lathers up nicely, and is easy to spread through your hair, which I loved. Other bars I've used have been hard to spread.

My hair felt really clean after using this bar, which was nice.

My favourite thing about this product is how sustainable it is. Buying this means no plastic waste, little water used to make the bar, and the cardboard packaging is recyclable. These are extremely important elements and I would love to see more brands making more sustainable products like this one. I love that this is a relatively affordable option too, in comparison with some shampoo bar brands. I love how accessible this is for people too, it's easy to find in the supermarket.

I was super excited to try this shampoo, I have been wanting to see what a bar shampoo is like. Obvious bonus points for being less waste, and it smells so good! The bar lathers up easily, although it can get a bit matted with hair when working it through your scalp (there might be a trick I’m not aware of here!). It’s a bit hard to ascertain how much is needed so although the bar promises a certain number of washes I’m not sure how much shampoo is meant to be used per wash so hard to tell!

My hair felt super clean and soft using this shampoo bar and my scalp seems to love it too!

The downside for me would be towards the end of the bar, as with normal body soap, it gets too small to use properly and bits break off until you give up and chuck it in the bin to start a new one. So I’m imaging some wastage towards the end of its life!

All the good things, none of the bad. Cleans and nourishes hair without weighing it down. This is the first shampoo bar that I have used that was easy to rub down your hair to create a lather. Nice fragrance. I loved this product and it left my hair feeling clean and moisturised. Will definitely be looking to buy this product.

I really enjoyed using this shampoo bar. It smelt devine and lathered well with not using much. It rinsed out easily leaving my hair clean and soft. I love that it lasts so long and cuts down on plastic usage. I was impressed with the results as other bars I've used felt harsh on my dry hair. I will definitely be purchasing this again.

I've used shampoo bars before and have been very, meh, about them, but this Garnier shampoo bar is a real winner in my household.

Upon opening the box, the smell is divine and almost overpowering. The box is bright and fun, which matches the brand and what they're selling IMHO.

The instructions are clear to wet your hair, then the bar, then run the bar over your hair. Simple and effective, it brings up a really good lather with very little effort. Other shampoo bars in the past have stripped my hair of moisture, but this lather was rich and luxurious. It rinsed out with a little more effort than I'm used to from a bottle shampoo, but that could have been from applying a little too vigorously in the first place. My hair was left clean and supple, and the scent was subtle, allaying my original fears of being highly scented.

Firstly. This smells incredible! I have been thinking about trying shampoo bars for a while, but I came out the other side not sure if I enjoy the experience. It was hard to get the lather up on this product without rubbing the bar between your hands and then transferring to your hair, and in addition I ended up feeling that the roots if my hair were grease than I had wanted, even taking special care to wash it out. Maybe it was how I used it, but I wont be in a rush to try this again as it just seems to hard to get the result I want.

I found the banana bar so easy to use while washing my hair simply wet the bar and rub into the roots or between the hands. The bar itself lathers very quickly so only a small amount or product is needed. My scalp seemed very clean afterwards and it didn’t leave me with a dry and itchy scalp which is amazing. The fragrance smells like bananas and the bar is a yellow colour. The packaging is a basic small box which makes it much more greener to use compared to plastic containers. The product is lasting awhile as the bar is about the size of a soap bar. The results are as claimed it does clean the scalp. I would recommend this product to friends and family and I would gladly use it again. Thanks beauty review.
