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.

Tips: Wouldn't recommend for dry frizzy hair but might be better suited to normal to oily hair.
I love this product as a leave in conditioner for my curly/wavy hair. I don’t feel it is a deep conditioner. I don’t feel that 5 minutes are enough for conditioning. The smelling is really amazing. I think the best is this product is 98% natural ingredients and curly girl method friendly. No silicones, no sulphates, no parabens, no short alcohols.
Tips: I use it on wet hair before my styling products. It’s not heavy or sticky.
I love this product. Really bright and appealing packaging. Its smells strongly of tropical banana. Product is very thick and creamy. I use a fair amount then leave overnight after brushing it through. Hair is softer but doesn't necessarily repair damage. Very conditioning however and has lasted me quite awhile.
Tips: Brush in and leave overnight for best results
I love these hair masks. Its the smell that gets me the most it a sweet fruity in tou face smell and i love that.
I use this as a leave in troughout the day and rinse it out at night time. I pin my hair back because it doeaent look fresh but totaly worth it.
My hair feels soft and nourished. It looks shiny and healthy and these mask are really great if you colour your hair a lot it just gives it that life back.
This product is now going to be a staple hair conditioner, treatment or leave in mask. I want to try all the flavours. It surprisingly made my hair soft and smelling delicious and wasn’t too heavy either. My mum used some also who never uses conditioner as her hair is so oily but this was really good on her hair and didn’t make it extra oily.
Tips: Use in conjunction with the banana hair soap they are a march made in heaven.
I have recently purchased this through the Beauty Vault and it was totally worth it!! My hair feels so soft and I love that you can use it as a leave in conditioner too x
As a girl with very curly hair this makes for a great hair mask or even leave in conditioner without it weighing down my curls. Smells super nice and doesn’t leave the hair greasy.
Tips: Can also use it as a quasi curl defining cream in a pinch
This smells amazing feels really nice on my hair I have used this as a conditioner and leave in however my hair it blonde and has heat damage so I have noticed any change in the condition of my hair I also have the watermelon one this too smells great and both have a nice thick consistency I think for the price they are a fantastic hair product
Very good pot of conditioner. A sizeable amount, great consistency (you don’t need a whole lot to cover shoulder length hair), and the smell is not overpoweringly banana. The price is fair for the amount you get in a pot, and especially considering that you can use this product 3 ways: conditioner, mask, or leave-in. For me, the results weren’t tremendous, but I do have very dry hair naturally and often dye it at home. I do find that using these Garnier conditioners helps a TONNE to keep my hair shiny and voluminous.
My daughter had some of this and I had to try it. She was using it on herself and her daughter who's hair is beautifully curly and I was impressed as there was no brushing. So I had to try it.
I use this daily and usually before going out. I apply to dry hair and actually leave it in. It smells wonderful and leaves my hair feeling great. I was so disappointed I couldn't top up my stash when countdown had their latest sale on garnier as our local countdown and the next town over for some reason didn't have this in stock?? Maybe it sold out.
It's pretty reasonable price wise it's a nice cream that spreads a long way so I use this slower than I would a conditioner.
Will be purchasing again.
Tips: It's like a perfume for your hair any which way you use it.
