Delicious smelling Hair Food

This is my first time trying the Garnier Hydrating Aloe Vera Hair Food and I'm impressed. I'm quite fussy with my conditioners as I condition every morning, and I'm loving this one. It smells sooo good too !!

I did find I had to use a bit more of the product than my usual conditioner to feel like I had good coverage, but it probably wasn't necessary. Once rinsed out and combed and dried, my hair felt really soft and springy, which is wonderful as my hair is curly and on the dry side. I also liked the consistency of the product. Nice and thick and creamy.

My only negative is that I'm not a huge fan of tubs, as when you are in the shower and put your hand it them to scoop the product out, you can sometimes get some water in there. Personally I would prefer it in a bottle, but that's only a very tiny criticism.

I will definitely keep using it and am looking forward to trying the other ones. I love the smell of the aloe vera one, its really yummy and can't wait to try the Papaya and Macadamia ones. I'm a convert!

Slowly becoming a Garnier fangirl

I have to say after using many of the newer garnier products that I'm becoming overall very impressed with this brand. I'm yet to find one I don't like and want to reuse again, and this Hair Food is no different.

I liked it all, the smell of products always catch me first and though I didn't expect to like the smell of aloe vera - I really did like it, it was so sweet and fresh.

The next thing I really enjoyed was how this product can be used in so many different ways - a conditioner, hair mask or leave-in conditioner. I've so far used it both as a conditioner and hair mask and I'm thrilled with the results.

My hair was so soft, frizz free and hydrated after use, while still maintaining it's curl. I did use this with the shampoo bar, so the results might be due to a combination of both.

I'm in love and would definitely be using again - though now that I am becoming such a big fan of Garnier products, I might try some of the different scents.

Lastly, I like that there are no parabens or silicones in the product, keeping my hair healthy.

Tips: Read the instructions and try out the 3 different ways to use - conditioner, leave-in or hair mask

Garnier Fructis Hair Food - Aloe Vera

I have long coloured wavy hair which is always in need of moisture, so I was stoked to be selected to trial this. I used it in all three ways - as a conditioner, a mask and also as a leave-in. As a mask and leave-in, it left my hair smelling amazing and feeling soft, but sadly, also flat and lifeless.. my hair just felt heavy and had zero volume. It was somewhat better when used as a conditioner, my hair had a little more volume and body but still not fantastic. I think it may be better suited to straight fine hair as it does condition well.

Smells fresh

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.

A little goes a looooong way, but weird tub.

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.

Tips: You won't need much as it goes a long way. Ensure if you're using as a conditioner in the shower be careful handling can be tricky

Holy grail

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.

Tips: Only use a small amount and work into the bottom of your hair

New Fav

I have been a religious user of the banana hair food, but I think this may be my new fav! I have curly hair. I used this as a conditioner, paired with the shampoo bar, and my curls are definitely more hydrated and defined. When I use this as a mask, I lather this on dry hair. I leave on for a while, when I’m cleaning, cooking dinner etc (on my entire hair). I then wash with the shampoo bar, then add more of this to the ends, then rinse….my hair looks amazing! But my favourite use of this is as a leave in treatment. I add a little to my ends and let my hair air dry and my curls look beautiful and not weighed down. Really impressed with Garnier and will most definitely be purchasing this again.

Garnier Hydrating Hair Food Review

I have. Previously received and used Garniers multi use hair food product before and did find that my hair is and has been pretty soft and more easier to manage with no kinks or knots.

The product rinses out somewhat pretty quickly and leaves hair feeling very soft and silky afterward. I usually apply the product and leave it for a good couple of minutes while I do other things in the shower (I always wash my hair first) and then rinse off before I hop out.

The scent is not very strong and I would probably say it is on the low side unless you are sticking your nose very close to the little. It would also be space saving, convenient and easier to use if it was in a bottle but then also it would be much easier to use up all of the product in the round potter and being able to visually see that it is completely used up is good rather than having to cut open the bottle.

Overall, I did enjoy using it and thought the scent was not overpowering and mild.

Curly girls rejoice

I use this as a leave in treatment. I have very fine and dry curly hair and this is a dream to use. Very moisturising and light so does not drag down the curls. For those that follow curly Girl method hair food is approved!

Tips: Don’t use too much product for a leave in as can leave the hair a little crispy when it dries. Less is more!

was not a fan

unfortunately aloe vera hair food was my least favorite out of all of the garnier hair foods. I tried using it as a rinse out and leave in and it left my curly hair very frizzy afterward. very disappointing, I won't be using again.
