Forever a fan

I have been a longtime fan of Garnier Hair Food, but honestly can't remember if I have tried the Banana one!

This time I used it, following the Shampoo Bar (also amazing. The shampoo Bar left my hair feeling clean, but tangly (to be expected with my curls).

I slathered on the Hair Food, and went about the rest of my shower routine. After a few minutes, I was able to run my fingers through (slowly) and detangle my hair. I rinsed out the Hair Food, and my hair instantly felt soft and delicious.

Combined with the Shampoo Bar, the Hair Food left my hair smelling amazing all day - even prompting a compliment from my pre-teen (so rare).

Hair Food is an amazing product. I use it for deep conditioning, a normal condition, and a leave in conditioner. The tub last for ages, and I have shoulder length curls.

Tips: Start small, and build up. The product goes further than you think!

My hair loves Bananas!

I really liked this product. It has a lovely natural banana scent which isn't too overpowering. The white cream is a nice thick consistency which is easy to apply. No nasty ingredients is a big bonus too. I used this in place of my normal conditioner on my dry hair and it made my limp hair full of body and shiny. As a leave-in I wasn't so impressed when I used it per instructions, as it weighed my hair down but still made it appear shiny. However when I diluted some in a spray bottle with some water and sprayed it on it gave the shine without the droop. My fave way to use this was as a mask. I left it in for 30 mins and then rinsed it out and it gave my hair body and shine for 2-3 days which is something I find very rare with my mane. One huge selling point is the price. It really is affordable and easy to find. I wasn't too keen on the packaging as coordination isn't my strong point and I found closing the lid without letting water in difficult. It does look nice in the bathroom though and has clear labeling of all ingredients

Tips: Turn it into a spray leave-in if you find it too heavy

Smells good enough to eat!

I've really enjoyed trying out this new product from Garnier Fructis. What struck me first was the 98% natural origin, no parabens, and no silicones. I feel this is quite a different product for the brand and I'd love to see more of this! The 3-in-1 nature of the product was also really appealing. I started out using it as a leave-in conditioner and then moved on to using it as a treatment/mask and conditioner. My preferred use is definitely as a leave-in. I find it a bit too rich as a regular conditioner. The packaging doesn't lend itself to easy use in the shower as a normal conditioner, but I can forgive it for that ;). It does everything it claims, my hair feels so healthy and soft. Plus it leaves a delicious banana scent, almost caramelled bananas!

Tips: Mix a small amount in a spray bottle with water to use as a detangler/leave-in spray conditioner. Great for refreshing the hair and adding softness back in (especially if you tend to go a bit heavy handed with dry shampoo :P)

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana

I have tried nearly the whole flavour range in these products, I cant say which is my favourite but they are all amazing. They come in a large 300gm pot, real value for money. You can use this product in 3 ways, a hair mask, a conditioner and a leave in treatment. The scents are true to the label, you would think someone was eating a banana in the shower, its that great, I use this everyday as a conditioner, just a small scoop and I leave it in my hair for a few minutes and then rinse away. My hair is super shiny and so easy to style. My hair doesn't feel weighted down, just soft and shiny and smelling great.

Tips: Try the other scents, they are all fabulous

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana

I bought this conditioner as I was attracted to the names of the range. The smell of the banana one is heavenly. I use this conditioner as a leave in once a week. It's easy to apply after hair washing, you just apply and leave it. After drying with the leave in conditioner, my hair is super moisturised if a little greasy but after the next wash it becomes really good. You can also use this conditioner daily and rinse out.

Tips: Leave in for maximum effect.

Garnier Fructis Banana Hair Food

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.

Tips: Use a small amount, it goes a long way.

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana

Love, love, love this product! A little goes a long way and it leaves my hair feeling fantastic!

I have fine hair that is just below my shoulders in length. Because it is so fine it can feel weighed down quite easily but this product manages to be thick and luxurious without being heavy. I love that Garnier Fructis Nourishing Banana Hair Food can be used as a conditioner, hair mask, or a leave-in treatment.

I apply a small amount to my hair and leave it in while washing my body before rinsing off. It is so simple to use, smells great, leaves my hair feeling fantastic, and all for a great price. This is one product that I will be buying again!

Tips: Use as a conditioner, mask, or leave-in treatment depending on your time and hair needs.

Garnier Fructis Hair Food

This product is all you need for amazing hair. You can use it three ways, as a conditioner, a mask and a leave in product. I tried all three. As a conditioner it made my hair perfectly tangle free and left it with a shine when dry. As a mask it gave it a little bit of extra nourishment but I would only use it like that once a month. And my absolute favorite was as a leave in , which I use daily to smooth my new fly away regrowth. Previously, the regrowth was driving me insane with little frizzy wisps poking out, but now its smooth and above all the hair food has this delicious tropical fruit smell. I smell good enough to eat. I also found it doesn't weigh your hair down and make it limp like a lot of conditioners do on fine hair. I love the fact that this product has no parabens, silicones or artificial colourants. This is one of the many reasons I will continue to use this product again.

Tips: Use a very tiny amount on the palm of your hands and smooth over hair for shine and smoothness. It works as an anti frizz agent on my hair. I still use as a conditioner plus as a leave in using this gentle method and am delighted with the result.

Perfect for Dry Damaged Hair

This hair mask smells divine - makes me almost want to eat it!

The pot is massive and will no doubt last a long time. I've used the mask every wash and love the thick creamy consistency which I can work through my hair without issue.

I never use hair products sparingly as my hair tends to be on the dry side. This hair mask works wonders and leaves my hair smelling gorgeous, manageable and soft to the touch. I will continue to use the hair mask several times a week as my hair needs it.

I'd highly recommend this hair mask!

Smells divine and very moisturising

I use this stuff once a week as a treatment, it smells sooo good! I absolutely hate bananas but this smells more fruity and yum. I apply after shampoo then cover my head in a shower cap then hair turban to keep it covered. If you heat your hair it will penetrate better so I sit in front of the heater for half an hour, then rinse it out. It leaves my hair very moisturised but can be a bit heavy if you don't fully rinse it. Overall great for dry hair and reasonably cheap too!

Tips: Rinse out fully if your hair is low porosity and prone to build up or looking sad and limp
