Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Review

This product is great, the tub is a large size and easy to open while in the shower The product is a thick creamy mixture and is dense, I have thick coloured hair and used this as a leave in conditioner after shampooing, it left my hair smelling great and nourished. I would use this at least 3 times a week for maximum results. It’s free of nasties so that’s great if you’re avoiding SLS, parabens etc! It also has a great mix of coconut oil, macadamia oil and more! The smell of the mask is buttery and nice it also isn’t too heavy on the hair! I hope this product becomes available at supermarkets cause I love it!

i love these hair masks, i have all 4 now. they smell amazing, they work better than expected and they leave my hair looking ah-may-zing.

like it's fruity counterparts, this is a generous sized tub of hair mask. they couldve made them half the size but other than the massive tubs taking up room in my cupboard, i'm glad they didn't.

macadamia isn't my favorite of the bunch, for two reasons - the smell is a bit bleh for my tastes, but its definitely nutty! i almost want to say it smells a bit chocolatey and maybe that's why i don't like it as much. the second reason i don't like it is for the "smoothing" it claims to do - i found it didn't do anything different to the other 3 conditioners, they all smoothed and tamed my hair the same way, there was nothing special or stand out about this one.

i've used this all three ways but my favorite is as a hair mask with a hot towel on my head for 5 minutes - oh the blisssss! i feel so pampered when i do this! i also like to mix all four smells together so i can have a fruity party on my head, and i love it.

one thing i do love about this hair mask though (all of them really) is that they dont make my hair dye run, or fade, or anything like that. it just sits there doing it's job and rinses out easily. it's a lovely mask, one i probably won't repurchase, but i do recommend it.

I picked up several pots of this one . My hair is thick dry at my ends . My children also have hair like mine. I purchased jars of it for all of us to stop them from using up our conditioner.

This comes in a large sized pot . Labelling is bright easy to identify on the shelf. The thickness of this hair product is thick . This scent reminds me of caramelised macadamias sweet fruity and cheerful.

On damp hair I like to let this sit into my hair . Then wash it out. Other times I have left it in my hair and used it as a detangler to brush through knots in my hair . It works a dream. After using this my hair is smooth easy to work with .

It’s priced fairly . It’s becoming a family favourite. I would recommend trying this out if you have dry hair .

I was sent this as a tester, as soon as it arrived in the courier I could smell it! It wasn't a bad smell though, it is quite strong so it may dominate anything else you have on if you use it as a leave-in, I personally like it. 1st time I used it as a leave-in, which is my favourite way of using any hair product - no excuses! I love how it can be used as a conditioner, a mask or a leave-in. As a leave-in I noticed immediately my hair looked good, I have coarse Asian hair and prone to frizzing and becoming too poofy, this really tamed my hair and this was the first time I left home without having to tie my hair up, which says a lot. 2nd time I used it as a mask, my hair felt soft afterwards and the smell wasn't as strong but it left a nice fragrance. P.S. love the size and how non-greasy it is in the hands, would buy!

I was recommended this by curly girl method community, I rate this stuff so highly. I have super dry, frizzy wavy hair, this is one of the few products that has actually improved hair condition and helped tame some of the frizz. The banana verison made my hair oily and the papaya one was one.

The fragrance is plesant like fake maple syrup flavoured nuts and texture is creamy and luxurious.

It amazes me it's almost entirely made of natural ingredients, while at a decent price for a huge tub.

The packaging isnt the greatest as often water can splash in tub in shower but that's being trivial.

Definitely has now now become a staple for me.

I love this hair cream! Smells lovely and comes in a decent size! It’s quite thick cream which is amazing for my curly thick dry hair! But i f you have fine hair i wouldn’t use too much of this cream. A little goes a long way. After i shampoo & condition my hair, i apply this cream a generous amount (because i have curly thick hair) and apply serum to keep the frizz down.

I use a hair treatment weekly but since the Garnier Fructis Hair Food arrived I have done the procedure each day.

What a generously sized tub! The thick and creamy product has a gentle, clean and sweet fragrance and it's a pleasure to use. The tub had an easy screw-off but safely secure lid and it's colouring and design are appealing since the "macadamia" ingredient was the hair food's focus.

Approximately one tablespoonful provides ample supply for each treatment, which the product instructions suggested be done in three different ways. I tested all three. As a conditioner, the hair food was "too good", although my hair did benefit. As a mask, the hair food was perfect, its qualities remained in my hair for the next 24 hours, leaving a sleek, shiny finish. It felt nourished and soft. My hair is short so therefore not very unruly, although without regular good cuts it does become this way - not so with the hair food which gave an "under control" finish for the day. The third method was a leave-in which I did try but did not like much. I was anxious to "wash it out" and after a few hours I did so. Possibly I need to adjust to the newer methods of using dry hair products!

As with other Garnier hair care products, I assume this one is fairly priced although I cannot confirm as it is not on sale locally as yet. I will definitely be purchasing this hair food in future, I am most satisfied with the results and ease of use of Garnier's intense conditioner. To note "no parabens and no silicones or artificial colourants" is reassuring indeed.

I trailed Garnier Fructis Macadamia Hair Food in all three ways suggested - a conditioner, a hair mask and a leave-in. The generous tub shouts good value and I personally loved the nutty smell of the product. It is quite strong, not to dissimilar to comparing the smell of using coconut oil products). The natural products and clearly identifying this on the ingredients is smart marketing and easy to understand on the packaging.

My fav use was as a hair mask, my hair felt like it was being treated and smelt wonderful and was smooth once it dried. As a conditioner, I did not find much difference to make it stand out from any other conditioner. I do have thick Asian hair, so on using as a conditioner, the product didn't immediately untangle my wet hair when I ran my fingers through it. As a leave-in conditioner, I felt the product smoothed my hair and gave it shine but felt heavy/ flat, so volume was missing. I did find I got dandruff after using this product, and I don't normally get dry scalp. So possibly this particular 'flavour' hair food wasn't right for me, although I do get fly aways. I will keep on using this to see if this improves or not.

In general, I do find the tub packaging a little inconvenient, as prefer something that is easy to use in the shower with one hand - a pump or squeeze bottle.

So in summary: love the smell, the natural ingredients and the smoothness of the result.

I really loved this product. It is so versatile. I loved that I had so many ways of using it. As a conditioner it detangled beautifully and the yummy fragrance was simply devine. My hair was left soft and shiny. After using it as a hair mask my hair felt well nourished and looked lovely. I especially liked the short amount of time required to leave it in. My favourite way of using though was as a leave in conditioner. My normally frizzy hard to manage curls were soft, defined curls - with no frizz and no greasiness! I was happily surprised by the results. The light weight texture made it so easy to use. I definitely recommend using this product.
