Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Shampoo

I’m always keen to try new hair products. I’ve tried a few in the past none of them have really become staples to my household yet. I was excited to try this new product from Garnier .

The packaging of this bottle reminds me of a flavoured milk bottle shape. Labelling is eye catching and different amongst my other hair care products. Consistency fluid smooth to touch has a sweet aroma of macadamia. Smells lovely . My hair type is thick . I rinse my hair with water and apply this to my hair . I put about a 50 cent coin in my hair nothing happened. Then I added quarter of cup and managed to build up a lather. I noticed there was minimal foam . My hair felt rough as guts after using it . My hair types not the easiest. Thank god for its saving grace sister product conditioner to ease the coarseness.

Overall my hair felt clean . Definitely not smoother with this product alone . I would need a lot more product for the thickness of my hair . On its own I wouldn’t use it again. As duo it’s more effective.

I trialed the Hair Food Macadamia shampoo in combination with the matching conditioner. I tested the shampoo out three times together and found that it did not suit my hair type. I have wavy, combination hair with dry ends. I found that both the shampoo left my hair dryer than normal and caused it to tangle and become really knotty. All three times it left my hair looking oily on the scalp and dry on the ends. The shampoo has an amazing smell, it is really sweet with a hint of macadamia. You do not have to use a lot of the shampoo, a little goes a long way. The shampoo lathered really well and felt nice when in the hair, it also washed out really easy. Sadly, I do not think that these products worked on my hair type and would not recommend for someone with my type of hair.

Been using this shampoo for about a week now. Comes in a dark brown plastic bottle which is able to be recycled. Has a lovely macadamia nut smell when your pour it in your hand, you don’t need too much as comes out quite thick. I did notice that the shampoo bottle wasn’t filled all the way to the top which is a bit of a shame. Lathers up really well and hair fells clean afterwards. Comtains no silicone and is all naturla products. My hair feels clean and soft but not really smooth, almost a little fluffy. I do like the shampoo but wouldnt use it all the time.

I quite enjoyed using this because of the scent. It was also quite moisturising. However, it wasn't any different from other shampoos I've used and the bottle is quite small so I don't feel like it lasts as long. I personally prefer the papaya one for both scent and effect on hair.

Love that these bottles are made from recycled materials!

The shape is cool but a little bit hard to grip when squeezing product out. The consistency is nice and creamy and smells absolutely wonderful!!!

The shampoo lathers well, I have really thick hair and it was easy to use and feels nice when using.

product does what it says, works well and is easy to use. Doesn’t strip the hair either which is a bonus for me as I have thick frizzy hair! I personally am not too keen on the price $12 at countdown.

Loved the look of the bottles, nice travelling size The consistency of the shampoo is not too thick and not too thin and runny You definitely do not need a lot when you wash your hair, I have very thick hair so I always need a bit more It has a nice smell too it, but not too overwhelming Afterwards when I dried my hair I could definitely feel and see a difference in my hair being softer, smoother and more managable. Even my friend who got the same product used it over the weekend and I could see a difference in her hair when she dried and straightened it Would definitely recommend

After having used the hair mask/leave in conditioner I was excited to try this product. The packaging was appealing and shampoo was easily dispersed. It had a gentle scent that was not overpowering. The shampoo lathered well and rinsed out easily, leaving my hair feeling clean and free of hair product. Worked well at smoothing my unruly curly hair in conjunction with the conditioner. I will definitely be purchasing this product again.

The consistency is slightly thinner compared to the conditioner and clear to look at. Application it is easy to apply onto the scalp without issue or without needing more product. I always double shampoo to help with my flaky scalp. Fragrance isn't overpowering while using the product I did notice the scent lasts for a few days it smells nutty or like coconut. Coverage I didn't need a lot of product to cover my scalp. Longevity of scent and quick application and easy to wash out product. Usage is easy to use no stress with having to leave the product in for a long time while showering without wasting so much water. Apply and wash out. Price point is roughly about 9 to 12 dollars which isn't bad for what the product offers without nasty chemicals added in. Packaging is basic says its recyclable not too sure if the plastic is soft enough to be recycled within New Zealand itself. Results I'm happy with results my hair is still a little frizzy but I can live with it less knots which is a bonus it does seem to detangle and not weigh down my hair. My sensitive scalp isn't itchy after using this product which is great. I feel my hair has benefited from this product within a short period of time. I would recommend trying out this product for yourself I don't have anything to really fault the product on. Love how its vegan and paraben free.

I really liked this shampoo, you only needed to use a little bit, and it foams up well. the smell was absolutely gorgeous, the bottles are small. 350 mils which is handy if you want to travel with them or take them to the gym. the downside to that is it runs out if you have a big family, so best if you keep it to yourself, and not share! it left my hair feeling full of volume and so, so shiny

Naturally I have long curly and dry hair. I usually need a lot of shampoo to get it fully clean. When I read vegan for some reason I assumed it wouldn't be a latherer. I was wrong! Didn't take much product at all to be a foamy cloud on my head. Product has a beautiful smell. My hair was left clean and shiny. I also really like the packaging and the ease of getting product out like a ketchup bottle.
