Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner

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.

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.

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.

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)

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!

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 !

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!

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!

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.

Loved this conditioner - smells divine, is really thick & creamy, and leaves my hair feeling super soft and shiny. It definitely gave my hair movement but I wouldn't say it added more volume. Absolutely love it though, would definitely repurchase.
