Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Review

My hair definitely feasted on this food. Unfortunately a little too much I think Was lovely and rich and smelt very natural when I applied it in the shower. It really felt like my hair was getting a tasty treat when wet However I think it must have gorged itself as my hair felt horrible and greasy and looked almost wet at the roots when dry with frizzy unmanageable ends I wasn't very impressed and definitely wouldn't use again I couldn't wait to wash it out as it was so heavy and my hair normally pretty straight wouldn't brush properly and the only option was to shove it into a bun until I could wash it out

I would truthfully stay away from it if you can extremely dry hair, I thought I’d use it to help my dry hair soften up and bring life back to it but all it did for me was leave a strong banana smell which I’m not mad about the smell is amazing, but the greasy feeling with no real dimension to it was not that great, it left my hair feeling very straw like and the product dried up faster than I thought. Overall it didn’t work well for my hair at all. I wouldn’t buy it again unfortunately

To set the scene I have very dry, thick, frizzy hair. I found the packaging was ok but I prefer a bottle as I find it more convenient to dispense the product into my hand rather than having to scoop it out of a tub. The banana scent was not too overpowering for me, and I'm not a fan of banana but this was fairly subtle. The product is quite thick and felt nice to apply. I left it for the recommended time then rinsed it out. Once I rinsed the product out my hair did not feel nice and smooth as I had hoped but instead quite course and dull. My hair wasn't awful afterwards but it wasn't great either, it just didn't quite sit right and was a bit fuzzier than I'd like. To be fair I do normally use salon products on my hair but this just didn't stack up for me.

I am Garnier fan so was looking forward to trying this product. It comes in a very large bright yellow pot containing a thick white creamy formula. The scent is an overpowering mix of fruity banana. I slathered it onto my hair after using the Garnier Shampoo Bar and massaged in well. The pot is a bit more fiddly to use than a normal flip top bottle, because of the size and screw top. After rinsing and drying, my hair felt soft, healthy and moisturized, also smooth. I would not purchase be because of the intense scent which I don't like, and the large pot which is awkward in the shower.

Not a huge fan of this one. Sure it made hair feel nice but I didn’t think it was anything marvellous. The smell I found to be very strong and overwhelming, and lingered long after putting the product in.

I found the tub quite large and fiddly for the shower. It wasn’t the easiest to get the lid screwed back on with product on your hand and rinsing the product off to screw the lid on seemed a waste of product. I tried this as a conditioner, a mask and a leave in but it just wasn’t right for me. It smells great but for me it had a strong after smell which I wasn’t a fan of. It has a thick consistency and coated the hair well but when rinsed out my hair didn’t feel conditioned like I get from other product. I wanted to love this like I do the shampoo bar but unfortunately it’s just not a product I would purchase
