Garnier Hair Food Shampoo Bar - Banana

Well I have never tried a shampoo bar before ,so was keen as to trial this, arrived in a nice recycleable box ,points for that . . On opening it was a lovely shape sort of tear drop which fits in ones hand nicely ,I liked the shape ,I was curious how it would lather ,but it lathered extremely well ,it had a nice fragrance ,not over powering ,I was very dubious this product would help my dry hair ,but kept an open mind . The product washed out well and very easily ,but I did find my hair a little knotty and straw like ,definitely needed conditioner.

I found the product interesting ,absolutely did a good job of washing my hair ,not sure shampoo bars would be my choice though as storage is not as easy as a bottle and more messy .

Garnier have designed this bar well and lived up to my expectations.

I really liked this product it smells sooo delicious and made my bathroom smell great, it does what it says it'll do and washed my hair and cleaned it well. The only thing I didn't like is how it dried, it started cracking so not sure how it'll stand the test of time and if I'm able to use it before it crumbles apart?

I’ve never tried a shampoo bar before so this was a new experience I was surprised how quick and how much it soaps up with a bit of water. The smell is amazing and the lather was really good on my hair i felt it was a good amount and really cleaned my hair, My hair still felt a bit dry after using the shampoo so I did the next step. The bar didn’t take too long to dry and has been easy to reuse I feel like it will last a lot longer than your usual bottle of shampoo.

This really exceeded my expectations! I have never used a shampoo bar before, and the first experience with this was pretty cool. Upon taking it out of the box, the scent of it straight away is gorgeous! I wet the bar, and straight away swiped it across my hair, twice on my part line, once on each side by my ears and once underneath. The creamy foam it produced was amazing, and heaps of foam for the tiny amount of product I use. Massaged into my hair and it really is a full lather of foam, its lovely. I found it made my hair really volumised the first day after a wash, but then on day 2 it turned quite oily, so I dont find the clean lasts as long as regular shampoo . I would definitely keep using this but may have to add an extra wash during the week to keep the oil at bay.

I received the Garnier Fructus nourishing shampoo bar - banana hair food as part of a trial team. The smell on opening the box invokes memories of a trip to the tropics. I was pleasantly surprised & pleased that it wasn't more ripe banana. The bar is tear shaped & easy to hold. The packaging is 100% recyclable & cardboard so reduces potential plastic waste. I've kept the box to store the bar in as the bar needs to dry out during washes to last longer. A slight downside as you need to remember to take it into the shower each time. The ingredients are 94% plant based & there don't appear to be any nasties in the remaining 6%. No irritations to my sensitive skin. I've used the bar 3 times over the trial period, and overall i'm reasonably happy with the results. My hair still feels a bit dry after washing but less so each time so probably it's a transition thing from using a liquid form. I've found a similar effect with other shampoo bars. It lathers well and claims are that it lasts up to the equivalent of 2x 250ml liquid shampoo. The cost is around $10.50 per bar. I'll continue using the bar but reserve final judgment for a few more washes.

Never has used a solid shampoo before but this was on special at my supermarket so decided to pop my solid shampoo cherry. Love the shape and smell, I need about 6 swipes to get my thick curly hair soapy. It leaves my hair so clean and soft and I only need to use conditioner every 3rd time. I have thirsty curly hair - so to be able to skip Conditioner is cray cray! But it makes my curls soft and bouncy! Downside is the bar disintegrates really quickly. I have it in a soap holder but it is still not lasting the miles. A bottle of shampoo usually lasts me 2-3 months, I have had the bar a month and it’s over 1/2 gone so not equal to 2 bottles of shampoo as it boasts.

Additionally- the advertising is a little confusing. It says 2 in one - and I thought this meant like a shampoo conditioner, but it means 2 bottles in one bar. So quite deceptive.

To begin with I was confused as to how, what looked like a bar of soap, would generate enough foam to actually wash my long straight hair. From first use I found this product great, the fact that it washes but also nourishes is a massive plus for me. As me mentioned above, my hair is long and straight - I have struggled to find a liquid shampoo that doesn't dry my hair. With the shampoo bar, It only takes a few wipes of the bar on your scalp to generate enough foam to be able to lather and wash your hair thoroughly. It was easy to rinse out and left a subtle but pleasant smell. Banana shampoo sounded odd to me but I was sold after first use as it made my hair feel so soft and have an amazing shine. This product was gentle on my scalp - I have psoriasis and found this did not irrate my scalp. I have since become a regular user and alternate between the banana and watermelon flavors. I have had so many comments on how great my hair looks after using this product.
