Garnier Hair Food Shampoo Bar - Watermelon

Using this with my regular conditioner has been great. My hair tends to get oily at the roots quickly, but dry ends. I've used other shampoo bars and felt that they didn't work well, this one lathers nicely which others claim don't need to do. Maybe that's just a mind thing, but I feel I need a bit of lather for it to clean.

My hair felt clean without that squeaky stripped feeling, and I could run my fingers through it easily. It felt nice when my hair was dry, I didn't notice a big volume difference, but I have a lot of fine hair so it didn't make it frizzy either.

I like being able to smell the fragrance lightly in my hair.

While it was a good experience, I'm still not sure if I am sold on solid shampoo, it just feels like a bit of extra effort...I know that's probably terrible.

I tried this product at the same time as the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon. I never use shampoo on its own so I did use it with conditioner. I usually shampoo once to twice a week.

This is the best shampoo bar I have tried. The packaging was nice and small but the bar itself was larger than most others I have tried. It claims to last up to the equivalent of 500ml - I haven’t used up the bar so I can’t comment on that.

I found it easy to use, i lathered it into my hands and then rubbed that through my hair. It lathered a small amount. It doesn’t claim to be good for dyed hair so I can’t hold this against it, but the reason it didn’t get 5/5 for use again is that I have dyed hair (green) and I felt like a lot of green came out while I washed it. It did give me the usual squeaky clean feeling that you get before conditioner. Combined with the conditioner my hair felt really soft and I did notice more volume. I usually always need to add leave in conditioner to my hair in order to comb it after I shower but with this shampoo and hair food combo I didn’t! My hair felt really good. The scent was nice, not too strong but definitely there so if you don’t like scents this wouldn’t work for you. I didn’t notice any scent once my hair was dry though.

Overall I like this and would use it again but not every time to preserve my hair colour.

This bar smells SO good it smells really nice and fresh but it doesn’t dry my hair out which is really good! it definitely makes my hair feel really light and hydrated. It gives a small amount of volume since it doesn’t weigh the hair down. It makes your hair feel really nice and clean as well as giving it a super shiny healthy look.

My husband was getting a dry scalp from normal shampoo and it took some convincing for him to use “a bar of soap” instead. His scalp pretty much cleared within a week and he is hooked. Absolutely love these products

I love shampoo in a bar they last well... this one was no exception first off it smells divine easy to use lathers very well way more than expected its hard to tell if a shampoo is helping in such a short time especially when you have perimenopause hair so much going on to fix, hair felt clean after use and quite soft for just the shampoo part would use again.

This was my first time using a Shampoo Bar so I was very excited to see how Garnier Fructis Volumising Shampoo Bar – Watermelon Hair Food would work on my hair. I have long fine hair that grows really fast but is very thin and as a result can get dull and oily within a day or so. The obvious difference with the product is that it’s a bar, not a liquid shampoo, so there is no plastic waste! Its also vegan, with no preservatives or silicone and is dermatologically tested. Using this bar is super simple, you just need to wet your hair and the shampoo bar. Then rub the bar from roots to ends on your hair, letting it foam as you do, then massage your hair and rinse – fast! It has a 2in1 cleanse + care, which is an added advantage. It has a really yummy, fresh fragrance. From the minute you pick up the bar the watermelon scent is noticeable and smells fantastic in the shower. The scent faintly lingered on my hair following my shower. Delicious! A single bar can last the equivalent of up to two 250ml shampoo bottles – so not only will this bar reduce waste, but also reduce your spending on bottles of shampoo! It comes attractively packaged in a wee pink and green box, 60g total when packed, and I should mention is approved by Cruelty Free International. Using two to three times a week, this bar left my hair feeling cleansed and nourished, as well as soft and easy to brush. If you are looking for a green way to achieve cleansed and volumised hair without weighing it down, I would highly recommend you give this a go!

Was looking forward to trying it. Packaging was great the bar was in a small compact cardboard box so recycling is a doddle! The bar smelt ok but not as nice as the liquid shampoo version which I still use from a previous trial I was selected for. The bar lathered up exceptionally well on the first application, but I always wash my hair twice and therefore rinsed the product after first application and reapplied. I wash my hair every other day. I was surprised that it cleaned my hair. I have seen shampoo bars before but was never keen to use a " bar of soap" in my hair but this did surprise me. I noticed after about the 3rd time of using it, part way through the day, my hair started to look greasy especially my fringe so that put me off a bit. My head also seemed to itch quite a bit too. I used this alongside the Hair Food conditioner I was given to trial. The advantage this has over a liquid shampoo is that it would be great to travel with as it wouldn't leak. Also looks like it would last a while as it lathered quickly with very little application.

I would use this bar as a backup, but not as a regular shampoo as I still prefer a liquid shampoo.

I would not buy this product. If I recommended it to a friend I would point out the above pros and cons.

I was glad to go back to using my liquid shampoo (another brand).

This bar was easy to use and the first time I tried it, I just wet it and then ran it down my hair three times. It lathered up really quickly and smelt lovely. I found that you could also just rub it in your hands and then add that to your hair to get a lovely, rich lather. I did find that it left my hair a little 'stripped' and on one occasion, a bit knotty. It did, however, smell lovely and clean my hair. Also, a great eco-friendly product.

Well I was pleasantly surprised by this shampoo bar. I have fine hair and this product definitely lifted my hair making it feel bouncy and more full. I wasn't sold on the scent, it definitely wouldn't be my first choice. I love the fact it comes in a little box which is great for landfill. I did find it a little strange using the bar the first few times but it does lather up nicely and my hair does feel nice and clean. I do wash my hair every day and felt it dried my hair out a bit so I would recommend using a hair mask or conditioner as well. All and all a great product that I will be happy to continue to use.
