Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner

This handy 350ml sized conditioner is totally vegan without any animal origin or testing and doesn't contain any silicone. It smells just as you would expect of a watermelon scented conditioner and it has a nice creamy texture that leaves your hair easy to detangle after drying. I found my hair definitely had more volume without weighdown after using which is a bonus for my fine coloured hair so it does do what it says. The bottle is recyclable which is a bonus but I did find it hard to read the ingredients list on the bottle as the print is quite small. The conditioner bottle is a different colour to the shampoo which is helpful for anyone like myself that struggles to read without glasses.

Like it's shampoo counterpart this Garnier line has been designed to look ridiculously cute! The scent is so yummy that you just want to eat it.

Very moisturising conditioner indeed! I am still trying to learn my lesson of using less product than I normally would.

The conditioner was great on my knotty hair and I didn't need much to deal with my fine damaged hair. It's always getting tangled, so I value that a lot!

Overall, pretty happy with this product because the main thing I look for in a conditioner is its ability to detangle and without needing a lot of product.

Thanks BR for selecting me for this trial of shampoo, conditioner and hair food mask - (see seperate reviews for the others). Love this conditioner - the packaging is great very appealing to the eye and neat compact easy to handle bottle looks great in bathroom. The conditioner was white and quite thick and not runny like other conditioners I've tried and you only needed a small amount i was really surprised! Infact i dont tend to use conditioners as never found one that's suitable until now! Smells fabulous it was the best smelling of all 3 products. Easy to rinse out, hair felt really soft and was easy to comb through and didnt weigh my hair down, definitely had volume which i loved most of all. Using the shampoo and conditioner my hair looked less greasy than it normally does the following day. I will definitely buy this again to use on a regular basis although may look to buy it on special and stock up

Really impressed with this conditioner! Firstly, the packaging is simple but cute, it reminds me of those raw juices you can get from the supermarket, and it’s made out of recycled materials! I’m not a huge fan of watermelon but I like this scent, it’s not too overpowering but it’s nice and fresh. The idea of ‘discovering the menu’ is a cool idea too, as all the new range is fruit scented. Now to the actual product! I have really fine hair and this worked nicely for me! It helped my hair feel light and lifted, it didn’t weigh my hair down at all. I also have oily hair and this helped my hair not get as oily throughout the day! I didn’t have to use as much dry shampoo as usual. My hair is pretty limp and not the most shiny usually, but this conditioner has made my hair feel super smooth and much stronger, and added so much shine! Usually when I wash my hair some comes out, but I didn’t notice any strands coming out, and I think it’s due to this conditioner. I love how this conditioner is silicon-free, that’s something that I look for in my hair care. It’s vegan, cruelty-free and mostly plant-based, with no nasty chemicals. Its absolutely amazing to know that such a huge company like Garnier is going in this direction. If all big companies did this the world would be a better place!!

Thanks BR for putting me on this trial by Garnier!

I have thin fine hair that is very limp and dull so I was really excited to trial this product (together with the shampoo and mask). This product claims: detangles, volume and fast rinse. It is also a new vegan formula that is 97% natural origin ingredients, the packaging is made up of 50% recycled plastic and is 100% recyclable. I love these movements made by Garnier.

First of all, my hair doesn’t particularly tangle, probably because it’s quite thin so this isn’t an issue that I could really judge on. However I can say this product does give volume and was fast rinsing. What was really noticeable was how light it felt in my hair, it didn’t feel like that “slimy” feeling a lot of conditioners have while washing. I only used a small amount and it was easy to rinse out. I did use this with the shampoo so I’m unsure what effect this product has without the shampoo. However I did love matching it with the shampoo so I wouldn’t use this separately.

My hair felt incredibly soft after using, my hair had incredible volume, it felt really clean and looked really shiny as well. I’ll definitely be using this again! Oh and my hair smelt incredible!

I have fine, medium length hair and was very excited to be chosen for this trial team ! As a runner, I end up needing to wash my hair quite often so find that it can tend ti look quite limp or get oily easily so I am always on the hunt for a magical elixir to add bounce and shine and hydrate without weighing it down.

Firstly - I love that the packaging is made from recycled materials - big tick. I HATE that the product is designed to look like a a juice or smoothie, definitely needs to be kept out of reach of little hands ! The smell is incredible - like a juicy, summery watermelon. It doesn’t smell fake and chemically and lingers gently in the hair after use. I used a small amount of the conditioner directly after washing with complimentary shampoo. The conditioner is thick and unctuous. I left it in for 2-3 mins and then rinsed out. My hair felt lovely and soft afterwards and I think that the weight is spot on - just light enough to hydrate fine hair without leaving it in a oil slick !

Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of watermelon, the fruit. It's too sweet, too watery. Luckily, the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner is not like the fruit. The packaging is reminiscent of a cafe juice bottle, invoking healthy freshness. An opaque, white stubby, 350ml recyclable plastic bottle (50% recycled) with a green flip lid (not recyclable), and pink watermelon image. There is a lot going on on the label. Garnier statement of commitments, Vegan formula, no silicones, ingredients listing 97% natural origin formula, dermalogically tested. Stating a 'melting' texture that instantly penetrates for volume, detangling and fast rinsing, for healthy looking hair with volume. There are also warnings in regards to do not eat and to keep out of reach of young children. The Conditioner is a thick and white cream, but with a texture that feels water-rich. The watermelon scent is noticable without being overpowering, and cream absorbs easily into the hair. Side note: Since shaving my hair off in 2020 lockdown for fundraising, I took up a No-shampoo then a C0-wash regime for over 12 months to avoid silicone-laden hair products, which led to my once-volumous, curly hair being lank and oily-scalped, prone to humid fluff. This being the first conditioner I have used with a shampoo in over a year, I really noticed the difference in absorption of the conditioner on the hair shaft. As claimed, the conditioner easily rinsed having done it's job, leaving no residue. Post conditioner, hair feels healthy, not weighed down at all. Hair feels lighter and looks reminiscent of my childhood hair, my curls reignited without any tangling, and while I don't have the massive volume of pre-shave days, there is a lightness and bounce to my hair that I haven't seen in the post-shave year. I love there is no silicone, and despite the watermelon scent lingering post wash, I'm a convert.

Good to see that this is another cruelty free, natural and environmentally friendly product.. For me it has just a very faint and pleasant but unidentifiable scent - appealing to use. Like the shampoo it is very economical to use - great coverage with just a small amount - about enough to cover a $2 coin. Lovely white creamy product not too wet and not too dry so it comes out of the bottle easily - covers the hair beautifully and then rinses out quite easily. The result, whether I blow dry or leave it to dry naturally, my very fine old hair has lift , body and shine that lasts Sadly the white bottle is not translucent so it is impossible to see how much product remains (peering down the top at white product in a white bottle is not the answer)

My big tick for this product - along with the shampoo - applies! The delightful watermelon fragrance is a gorgeous surprise. It’s a great conditioner that doesn’t leave my fine hair limp and flat. Instead it is non-frizz and soft, and stays feeling wavy and full of volume al day. I like the compact recyclable bottles (good for travelling too) and the sturdy flip tops. These are good value and I will buy again.
