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!

When I first received this product I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the tub. It contains 390ml of product and after only a few uses I've hardly made a dent in it.

I especially like that this is a 98% natural product. The 2% of ingredients that are unnatural are necessary to ensure the product doesn't go off, which is fine with me. It contains coconut oil and macadamia seed oil that helps to ensure my hair is left nourished and moisturised. It doesn't have any parabens or silicones in it, which is great for people who are sensitive to these

The texture of the product is thick and creamy. I find that only a small amount of product goes a long way. It has a nice smell which is a cross between coconut oil and a fruity scent. The smell lasts on my hair for at least two days after I've used it.

I've only noticed positive changes in my hair since using this product. I've definitely noticed that my hair has become visibly softer and shinier. I even had a co-worker comment on how healthy my hair looked the other day, so something must be working!

My favourite method for using it is to apply it to wet hair will already in the shower. I find that it applies much easier this way. Then I leave it for a few minutes and wash it out.

Overall I've really enjoyed using this product and I will continue using it until the tub runs out.

First off, I need to let you know that I don't wash my dry hair too often, so I was only able to use it once in the trial period. I'm making a mental note to come back and update this review once I've used it a few more times, as one of the things I LOVED about this product was the multi-tasking nature of the product.

While I put my name down to try a hair mask, I was pleased to find on the tub it gave information on how to use it as a conditioner, a hair mask, or as a leave-in treatment. I'm trying to streamline my beauty products, so this was a big plus in my book.

I don't think I've ever done a hair mask before, so this was how I tried the product. As a bonus, it only said to leave it in for one minute. I left it in for much longer, but it was good to know I didn't need to have a super lengthy shower - or worse, two showers - to get the benefits of the product.

The tub is a nice big sturdy thing with plenty of product that is easy to scoop out - much better than those conditioner containers that leave you struggling to get the last of the product out, then in a quandary as to how to wash it properly for recycling.

The product smelt delicious. I'm not a fan of overly strong fragrances, so I was nervous about that, but this one smelt good, which made it a pleasure to rub into my hair.

The big question - did I notice a difference in my hair? To be honest, I didn't. Maybe this is because I'm a wash-and-go type girl, never spending long drying and styling my hair, or maybe I was expecting too much, but I didn't notice a difference to when I used straight conditioner. This may be because my hair wasn't too dry at the time, so I'll be interested to see how I go tonight, when I'm going to use it again having just coloured my hair.

At this point, while it's a decent conditioning product, with a lovely smell and great packaging, it's not a must-have. Watch this space for an update when I've got through more of the tub!

I absolutely loved trying this Hair Food. Now I feel like it is a must have for me. There's no turning back now.

I like how it comes in a jar type container. Its easy to access and I am in control of how much product I am getting out and using so there is hardly any waste during application. A little goes a long way which is awesome. The product itself smells bloody delicious! I'm very impressed of how it smells. I have used this as a hair mask, conditioner and a leave in treatment and each time I have had the best results. My hair is left super soft, healthy, nourished and smoothe.

I completely recommend giving this a go and Im going to buy and try more flavors ( flavors, smells, hair food)

My first reaction when I "met" this product is that it is huge tub. It is in a ice cream like tub, which plays on the whole food thing. It is a really eye catching design. It definitely brightens up the shelf in my shower. I always use a hair masks a conditioner. My hair is super dry and coarse so anything that promises to smooth and moisturise unruly hair...I'm in! I use a hair mask as a conditioner all the time. It seems like a more nourishing effective way to condition my hair. I have no issues with products weighing my hair down since it is so fluffy and coarse. As you would expect of a mask, this mask is very thick and creamy. It makes it easy to apply a thick coating to my freshly shampood hair. It has a subtle fragrance. Which is a bit different to what I would expect from Garnier Fructis. I have always thought Garnier Fruictis had strong sweet fruity fragrances. This mask seem like a more grown up hair product. I left it on my hair for 5 mins, and rinsed it out. I was really impressed with the results. My hair felt softer and less frizzy. It left a really nice subtle fragrance in my hair. I have a feeling the condition of my hair will continue to improve after every use. I look forward to using this product on a regular basis. And I would definitely repurchase again....although that wont be for a while.....since the tub is so big!

Overall, I would say I found this product decent without raving about it or saying that it did anything remarkably different to other similar products.

The pot size is large and is easy to screw open the lid to get the product out. The smell is delicious and lingers for a few days after use.

The product itself is quite thick so you don't need to use too much but it integrates well into the hair without being too greasy. I prefer to use this just as a conditioner as i don't like leaving products in my hair and don't like the mess and annoyance of hair masks.

I enjoyed trialing this and would be keen to repurchase but will probably still use my regular conditioning products intermittently as well.

I just loved how you can use this product 3 different ways, a normal conditioner, a leave in treatment or a hair mask as well as the fact it is 98% natural origin. I tried all 3 ways but have to say the hair mask was my absolute fave!!! I used the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia along with my Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo or the shampoo & conditioner combo (got hooked on this after trying it via Beauty Review!) depending on what treatment I was doing. While using as any of the 3 your hair is left smelling absolutely yummo and feels as well as looks more settled, but I found using it as a hair mask the best for me as when I let my hair naturally dry it still kept the curl looking soft as well as together and controlled instead of the annoying little halo of static frizz I still got a bit of normally as well as keeping the curl well controlled even after a couple of days. My hair feels even more healthy and soft and I just love having no frizz after using this. I totally recommend this to anyone with a bit of frizz to their hair or has curls that go a bit out of control because you will love it and not want to part with it once you start!

Well, this is most definitely my new hair care must have! I love love love this product! It smells lovely, is nice and thick and the packaging is nicely designed. It's an easy screw top pottle so it's easy to use even when your hands are wet from the shower.

I'm so excited that the mainstream brands are starting to get on the natural and environmentally friendly bandwagon. This formulation is just as good, if not better, than Garnier's other, not so pure, formulations.

I tried the product is all of the three ways listed on the back: - as a conditioner (I really like this, it felt like a really rich conditioner and left my hair feeling smooth and silky) - as a mask (I got the same result from using this as a mask as I did using it as a conditioner, so given the extra time involved in using a mask, I'm not as convinced by this one) - a leave in (this is my favourite - I used this instead of my usual argan oil hair product and this is so so so much better! My usually frizzy hair became lovely waves. Someone asked me if my hair naturally did that and they were shocked when I told them it did. Also, a little goes a long way).

All in all, I love this product and I'd definitely 100% recommend to anyone.

I wasn't too sure what to expect of this product and I can't say I am too familiar with the brand but first impressions were pretty good.

The container is HUGE, like double what I usually get in a hair mask tub. It can be a little bulky to open in the shower and I can imagine water would get in pretty easily (I have a bath shower so I can just walk out of the water to open the tub).

I wasn't a fan of the smell. The combination of perfume-y fragrance mixed with macadamia doesn't do it for me but I can see how it could be enjoyable for others. My hair doesn't smell like that afterwards so I'm fine with it.

I used this product with my usual hair routine and swapped out the mask for this one. It worked really well and my hair was visibly less frizzy which is a pretty big deal for me. I don't typically have dry hair but it certainly did feel hydrating. It didn't make my hair as soft as my usual mask. The one problem with this mask is that it made my scalp itchy. This is not unusual for me but if you have a sensitive scalp, I would recommend trying a sample first if you can since you get so much product in the tub and it would be a shame to see it go to waste. It would have been nice to see a bit more vibrancy in my hair colour but that is not the intention of this product.

I also tried this product as a conditioner which means applying to the ends of my hair. It worked well but it didn't feel like anything special and again, my current conditioner makes my hair feel softer.

I was super skeptical about using this as a leave-in treatment as the packaging suggests but I did it for the sake of the review. Surprisingly, I liked it. It was a good way to reduce my frizziness without having the product on my scalp.

Overall, the best results from this product came from using it as a mask. It was a shame it makes my scalp itchy but using the product in conjunction with my coconut oil mixture works for me to reduce the itching that I typically get from most hair cleaning products (I add a couple of drops of the made-up mixture to my shampoo or mask - 9mL fractionated coconut oil and a couple drops each of tee tree and rosemary essential oils). I will continue to use this product, but I am doubtful I would purchase it when it runs out only because I love my regular mask.

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.
