Smells amazingly good!

I'm using Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya for two weeks now and it has been a pretty amazing for me and my hair. I usually dye my hair and it was bleached before so it is really dry and damaged.

When I tried Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya for the first time, I noticed the fragrance right away. It really smells like papaya and I love it! Another thing is, my hair is visibly softer after one wash. That's why I decided to use it everyday as a conditioner.

I also like that the smell stays on my hair for the whole day. That is one of the things I look for a hair product. I would definitely use it again and buy once I ran out of it. Definitely my go to hair product!

Good thick conditioner

The Garnier Hair Foods are basically famous if you follow the Curly Girl Method. They Key is to find the right one for your hair. I found Papaya to be too heavy for my Fine, wavy/curly hair. The price of these products is sensational - especially if you get them on special at the supermarket. you get so much product, and they all smell amazing. I think Papaya would be great for people with medium - thick hair, and just adjust the amount you use.

Tips: As the Papaya Hair Food is too heavy for my fine hair - I do NOT use it as a mask or as a leave in. I only use it as a very moisturizing conditioner every now and then and ensure I rinse it all out.

Love it

Packaging was good coloured in the scent you choose,meaning papaya is orange so tub is that colour. The smell is divine as soon as you open it the lovely tangy smell of papaya hits you and it’s stays in your hair all day. Good size tub and only a tablespoon size goes a long way, I have medium length thick hair and it did the trick. Smooth thick textured and easily washed off hands afterwards. I used it as a conditioner and a leave in product between washes, which it explains clearly how to apply for these. It made my hair feel and look refreshed and I feel over time it will only make it look and feel better. My hubby tried some and commented it made his hair feel great. The fact that is paraben and silicone free is great. I would recommend this product to a friend.

Tips: Use it as more than one product to see even better results

THIS SMELLS AMAZING!

I have been using the Garnier Hair Food Papaya for two weeks and my hair is so soft after using this! I have used this as a conditioner and leave in treatment and they both work a treat. I found this works better after towel drying hair after shampooing and conditioning then leaving in for 5 or so minutes then rinsing. As this is meant to be damage repairing I hope to see results after longer use - but I have noticed less breakage which is great!

The best thing about this mask is the smell!! It smells so tropical and fruity it’s absolutely divine. By far the best smelling hair mask I have ever used!

Tips: Use more as a leave in treatment for 5 minutes at the minimum to see (and smell!) the best results

Garnier fructis hair good papaya review

I loved this product. Packaging was easy to use, the the scent of the product was pleasant. The consistency was like a normal shampoo and the product rubbed easily into my hair. I used this product as a treatment, but the option was there to use it also as a condition. It left my hair feeling smooth and looking healthy. Would definitely use again.

Tips: Use the amount you would use for a conditioner and apply to the ends (not the roots) of the hair to prevent oiliness happening quickly if you tend to have oily hair.

Fruit salad

The first thing that struck me with this product was the size of the container, it’s HUGE. I couldn’t wait to use it as the smell literally had me drooling. It’s honestly like a big bowl of fruit salad. The product itself is thick and easy to use and really does leave the hair soft and smooth. I have used this as a daily conditioner, a leave in conditioner or a mask. As a conditioner it’s good it does the job but isn’t the best one I’ve used and the large container can be cumbersome in the shower. I like it as a leave in and it leaves my hair smelling amazing but for me it was using it as a mask that sold me on this product. It’s so thick and luxurious that your hair feels softer just applying it. I used about a tablespoon worth and left it on my hair for a good 3 minutes. After rinsing it out my hair shone and my unruly curls were much more manageable. I would definitely buy this product after trialling it (thanks Beauty Crew) but keep it out of the shower and use it as a mask only.

Tips: the lid doesn’t always screw shut very well so if it’s kept in the shower make sure you’ve done it up tight.

Apply a papaya

Another delicious winner from garnier!

I am determined to try the set in this range especially when half price at countdown.. I can't go past picking up a tub for $6ish. So while I was at the mall I picked up a new flavour (don't worry banana your still my number 1).

This is up there with the banana hair food.. I think banana beats it with 5/5 though.. I just can't rave about it's bananalisiousness enough.. but there are differences between the mixes that need to be noted so depending on your hair type go with what suits you the most.

I thought I would try this just because I haven't had a cut in several months so the damage is there.. I've been using some incredible products to mask the damage and this definitely helps masks the damage.

It's slightly thicker formula than the banana I would say. And obviously the scent differs - this being very tropical it does remind me of a scent I have smelled before I will update if I can click to what product it reminds me of.. it's not overly sweet or fake - the thing about these I love is that they actually smell quite real and the ingredients list looks better than a lot of other products on the market also.

I have used these a few different ways.. the ways that worked for me were by using it as a conditioner or a treatment conditioner after a normal shampoo and conditioner treatment. It really smoothed and tamed the mane reducing the need for brushing.

Results were noticeably smoother and sleek hair that smelt amazing. It definitely reduced the feel of the need for a cut on my hair so masks the damage which is great.

I use these a couple of times a week just through the ends of my hair.. I feel like the top is fine and it's the ends that need attention so that's where I dish out the love.

Again I love the packaging and styling of these they look stylish without being over the top cheap or tacky looking and fit in my showers soap dish perfectly. Nothing worse than having a nice shower set up and having some hideous looking product. The white on the packaging with colour to represent the featured fruit is clever and visually appealing I am happy to have this on display. Anything that's a total eyesore ends up in the cupboard and used when needed. So it's displayed loud and proud in my bathroom.

Love at first smell again.

Smells So yummm

I have recently gotten into a hair routine so I can maintain my wavy hair and keep it wavy. This stuff works wonders, smells so good i almost wanna eat it. I use it as a leave in product and i find that it can last for a few days

Tips: I find less is more, you dont need heaps

Garnier Hair Food Papaya

I have recently had my hair redone blonde so a full head of foils, I also have really thick hair that gets tangled very easily and got made a lot worse from the colouring. My hair felt straw like even after I had conditioned and I really needed something to help my damage. I have used this as a conditioner after normal blonde conditioning and then I also use about a 10c piece size in the mid lengths (where it knots and feels damaged) and the ends. I have noticed a significant difference in my hair, when it’s wet it feels so much smoother and when dry it’s a lot softer and even shinier. It doesn’t weigh your hair down as long as you don’t use too much. I was worried the smell was going to be over powering but it is really nice, fresh and smells amazing and leaves your hair smelling great! I would recommend to anyone who needs some hair repair.

Tips: Don’t use too much as a leave in conditioner as it does go a long way and you don’t need a heap. Also I normally do it on damp/wet hair after conditioning.

And we have a winner...!

This is the first of the hair food range that I've tried and I love it so much that I'm not sure I'll bother trying the others. I have fine, high porosity curly hair and this product is like the magic all-in-one, holy grail product. It's a great conditioner. It's perfect as a leave-in styler. It's a great mask. It works beautifully to refresh dry hair in between wash days. It really does it all! Oh - and it smells divine too! And it's budget-friendly (I grabbed my pot at the Warehouse for $12). I think that about covers it?! I would not hesitate to purchase again and am currently raving about it to my friends. This product is an honest-to-goodness all-rounder.

Tips: Less is more!
