Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner

Beautiful packaging - looks modern and fresh. Recyclable and natural product. The conditioner smells lovely and fresh. I love the fact that the lightweight conditioner nourishes my hair without weighing it down. It does what it says - detangles and smooths hair without being heavy, so great in that department. I don't need to use a lot of product to get results. Well priced and good value. I would definitely recommend to friends and would consider using it again. Although mostly natural, the packaging doesn't state that the product is sulfate free, so I am not sure about that. The ingredients are stated clearly though and I couldn't see anything that looked like sulfates among the list of ingredients. I usually try to avoid sulfates because my hair is colour treated.

Like the shampoo I really like the bottle design. It's easy to open cap but also feels secure and solid. This had a nice fragrance to it but not too over powering. I don't always use conditioner but I found this was light and didn't leave my hair feeling heavy or flat (unless you put too much in like I did the first time) . I only needed a small amount for my shoulder length hair but did find it needed a thorough rinse to ensure it was all out otherwise it leaves hair flat. Nice fragrance afterwards was nice. Once hair was dry it was soft to touch and easy to manage.

Cute packaging, almost looks like a wee bottle of milk. Conditioner is a good consistency and smells nice but not overpowering. I felt I needed to use a generous amount to get it all over my medium length hair. I wasn’t used to the fact that when you wash it out your hair doesn’t feel smooth and silky like other conditioners but I guess that is a good thing because when I dried my hair it was fantastic! There was volume because it wasn’t weighted down by chemicals and greasy hair. I am super pleased by this product!

As the title suggests, my favorite thing about this conditioner is how easy it is to rinse out. I really don't like it when a conditioner takes ages to get out, or worse, stays in and leave your hair feeling greasy.

This conditioner doesn't make my hair feel weighed down at all, but it doesn't make my hair look as though it has any volume either. I don't think I would buy this conditioner again, as I am either looking for volume or shine, and this didn't seem to leave my hair with either of these unfortunately. It didn't leave my hair feeling particularly soft either, so not a winner for my hair (fine, coloured, greying).

I would probably buy this again for my daughter, as the quick rinse makes it easier for her. She has healthy fine hair, and it feels soft and detangled after using this conditioner.

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner comes in an easy-to-use compact bottle with a fun brightly designed label. It's made with 50% recycled plastic and the ingredients are of 97% Natural Origin. The conditioner smells fresh and fruity like Watermelons and leaves your hair smelling delicious. The conditioner detangles easily and rinses clean without leaving any oily residue. My hair felt incredibly soft and bouncy after using this conditioner.

Let's start with the pro's of this product: - The fragrance: Oh. My. Gosh. Think summer fruit cocktails at a bbq with friends. This fragrance is DIVINE, and smells almost good enough to drink (please refrain from doing this, but it is THAT good!). It's 96% Vegan and no 'nasties' which is always a good thing, especially when it comes to my precious mane. The promise of more volume came through, although there was a catch, see the not so great stuff paragraph below. You have to always give a product props when it delivers on its marketing promises. Value for money: I loved how little I needed of this product to get good coverage over all my hair. A little really does go a long way and one of these 350ml bottles would actually last longer than a 500ml bottle of my normal conditioner does. Now for the not so great stuff: although this product delivered on its 'more volume' promise, unfortunately it came at the expense of softness and shine. By the end of the trial period my hair was noticeably 'rougher' and a lot less shiny than normal. I was also struggling to get a wide tooth comb through my hair when it was wet after washing with this product. Initially my hair felt smooth after washing the conditioner out, but it was a different story when it came to trying to detangle and style afterwards. Unfortunately the divine smell and other pros of this product don't outweigh the not so great stuff, which was so disappointing as I would have gladly switched my normal haircare regime for these products - which is the highest praise I can give any product.

I received this as part of a trial team along with other products from the watermelon range. I have fine, low density hair.

The packaging is a nice slim bottle with a secure lid. The lid can be difficult to pop open but may loosen up over time.

The product is a light cream formula and is lightly fragranced. It does not contain sulfates or silicons so it conditions without drying or coating the hair.

I tried this in a few different ways, initially I paired it with the matching shampoo and intense conditioning treatment. This was a nice experience but a little too much moisture when used with the treatment. On its own with the shampoo was better, but I found it was better for my hair to condition before shampooing, then condition the ends of my hair again after shampooing. This provided protection in addition to conditioning. I also tried this with a different brand of shampoo and it paired fine with this so is definitely interchangable with other shampoos.

I liked this conditioner for detangling in particular. I would apply the product from roots to ends then carefully go through with a wide-tooth comb to remove any tangles. The conditioner provided enough slip for this to be effective while also not weighing down my hair.

I will continue using this, but may also explore the other conditioners in the same range.

I really loved the matte packaging for this! It feels really lovely in the hand and doesn't slip out with wet hands in the shower! I found the formula of this really lovely, it comes out so thick and creamy that it almost looked like icing! Not to mention it smells good enough to eat too! I did quite like this product but felt like it was only made really great by following up with the hair mask as the conditioner alone didn't feel quite as smooth on the hair when used alone.

Just like the shampoo, this stuff smells freaking good. Anyone who loves watermelon will appreciate that Garnier have hit the nail on the head with the scent. However, my personal opinion is that the scent is the best thing about this product. The conditioner didn't leave my hair feeling overly silky/smooth, neither before or after rinsing. Also, it didn't 'boost' my fine hair. Perhaps this will work better for others, but I can't see myself using it again. Cool packaging though!
