Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera

The first thing I loved about this was the scent. It’s so refreshing and using it just makes me feel clean. I also feel like it would last a really long time as you get such a big tub of product. I just use a bit for the length of my hair and the result is amazing. My hair feels super soft and luscious! I also don’t get a lot of hair loss with this which I feel some similar products have done in the past when I shower. I don’t think I needed to use it as a leave in condition but a 3 min mask works amazingly and does it’s job!

This conditioner is lovely. The scent is mild but fresh. My hair felt and looked smooth with no annoying flyaways.

But what's up with the tub? I get that it can also work as a masks but the tub really isn't that practical in the shower. The wide lid can be tricky with wet hands and then scooping out the right amount just is time consuming.

Wow what a massive pot. Was a bit awkward being so big getting it opened in the shower when you have small wet hands. I'd probably prefer it was in a large tube as was hard to get the lid back on when you had the product on your hand and you need to get the lid on so the water from the shower didn't fill up the container. After washing with the shampoo bar I used a small amount on the ends of my hair and a little goes a long way. Comb glided thru easily and I rinsed out after going about my normal showering business. Rinsed out well and left my hair feeling silky smooth and not weighed down. Hair was lovely and manageable afterwards and felt good after blow drying and straightening. I'd probably only use it maybe once or twice a week after using the shampoo and conditioner bar. Also used as a leave in conditioner but would only do this for me probably once every 2 weeks. Smelt amazing and is so creamy..

Absolutely love the hair food range! I have tried the whole range and then they bought out two new ones, Aloe Vera and Watermelon which I have sitting in my cupboard to try next. I love the packaging and the huge tubes they come in.

It is super duper thick.....yes I love that! It's so satisfying putting your hand in and scooping up a big glob and smearing it all over your hair lol. It smells great too, very fresh and clean. For me I like to use it mainly as a conditioner and hair mask. Although there is not much difference in that....I just leave it on a bit longer when I use it as a mask.

This leaves my hair so soft and hydrated.  I get considerably less frizz and it looks shiny and healthy. I have just finished off the tub which has lasted quite a while and I would definitely buy it again. Now to try the watermelon!

Opening this bottle got me super excited! It smells so beautiful! The bottle size is very generous and for the price, you don’t feel shy putting on a little extra just for the sake of it. I have wavy hair, so usually supermarket masks and products weigh them down. This didnt! I was so happy! I used it as a mask and not only did it leave my waves soft, but also smelling amazing! I also tried it on my daughters wavy hair, it was amazing. She didn’t get any knots and it was frizz free. I tried it as a leave in conditioner, put a little bit on and it kept the frizz at bay! I’m definitely going to purchase again!

I have been using the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera pottle in combination with the aloe vera shampoo bar. What an amazing duo! I wash my hair 3-4x a week and I have normal-dry wavy hair and i find that this product works amazingly. The fragrance is pleasant without being overpowering. I have been using it as a leave in conditioner, and I've been happy with the result - soft, shiny & easy to manage hair. It also works as a detangler as my hair gets really knotty. It seems to be combatting the dryness. Awesome product.

I trialled this conditioner mask out the 3 ways suggested on the container.

1. a conditioner 2. a leave in 3. a 1 minute mask

As a conditioner it didn't do a whole lot for my hair, neither did using it as a leave in.

However..... What did work for me, was a mask after shampoo AND conditioner.

The instructions suggest to leave in for 1minute before rinsing, I tried this and it didn't make a difference.

I definitely recommend at least a minimum of 5minutes to leave it on. I applied a good 3 tablespoon amount on my hair ( I have thick hair, alot of it and it's just past shoulder length ) - I did trial this aswell with less product but it didn't work as much .

- obviously if you have short hair/ thinner hair use less.

My hair felt and looked healthier and hydrated once dried, even after a couple of days.

100% recommend, super affordable and doesn't weigh hair down either. Bonus points for that.

I'm a huge fan of these products and have even recommended them to friends. This aloe one was nice but not as good as the other ones they have. I enjoy how much you get in the tub and how a little goes a long way.

I really liked this product - it has that classic Garnier fruity scent which is divine!

I used it both as a mask and as a conditioner. I preferred using it as a mask, it is a bit thicker than my standard conditioner. It's a generous size tub and tempting to use more product than needed cause it smells so good! Since it was only me using it, I didn't mind scooping it up with my hands, however, if I was sharing it I would probably get a little scoop to use.

I think it's great how the ingredients are laid out on the back, super simple for me to understand. Garnier is my go-to supermarket brand hair care, I grew up with it (sleek and shine!)

I love the Garnier Hair Food masks - I can't go by them when they're on sale, they always end up in my trolley!

Like the rest of the range this comes in a large tub. It makes scooping a nice dollop out easy, but it can get a bit water logged if you have no where to put it in the shower that's handy to reach but out of the shower stream.

This mask is super thick, rich and creamy. I sort of scoop up a dollop in the middle of my palm (how does one quantify a dollop?!) I've used this a few times for my review but will likely only use once a week from now on.

It's immediately softening and a wide tooth comb glides through. After use my hair feels so soft and is shiny . It looks healthy and refreshed, but isn't fluffy or unmanageable.

I basically leave it in for around 3 minutes, so I guess I'm using it as a mask more than a conditioner, but it would be perfect to use as a conditioner (maybe less slathering for more than weekly use?)

I haven't tried it as a leave-in, the idea doesn't appeal to me, as a regular hair oil user and I'm more than happy with its performance as a mask.

The only reason this isn't full marks for me is simply the fragrance isn't that WOW factor the other Hair Food flavours have. It's nice, its fresh, but it isn't mouth wateringly yummy, which I've come to expect from the range.
