Garnier Hair Food Shampoo Bar - Banana

Lasting up to the equivalent of up to 2 x 250ml bottles - I haven't tested the long lasting theory yet but for Christmas I got a bar of this. This is my first Shampoo bar and I have been a fan of the Garnier hair food line for years but this is the first time I tried the solid shampoo bars. Package was fragrant from the box I could smell it. Packaged in a card board box labeled similarly to the regular bottled shampoo. When I opened to use it I was surprised. I thought it would be a square or rectangle as the box shape is quite square but I could see it was a round shape. Once fully out the box it was actually like a strange tear drop shape. Colour was a off brownish yellow the scent I smelt is mostly coconutty not really much banana. The bottle version smells different to the solid bar. I had some oily roots but dry ends so I foamed it in my hands it lathered fine and later increased once my hair was very wet I almost done my hair twice as I felt I had missed the back of my scalp I was concentrating on washing my roots only. I skipped conditioner to check the shampoo bar results alone. Next day hair is a bit fluffy and volumed as I went to bed with it wet and didn't brush it the scent I don't really detect. Using my fingers to comb it is untangling easily this could be as there might be residue from the conditioning bar which I actually tried the shower before this one or it may just be the shampoo bar itself / that I used on my roots only. My ends are still a bit dry as expected but my hair does not feel like straw or dehydrated it's soft and clean. I will keep using this but I won't buy it in this particular scent it's not unpleasant just not my preference and does not perfume my hair like the bottle versions can. The scent and physical appearance is the only reason I marked it down. One other thing I did notice is after it has gone foamy in the hair if you take your time the foam disappears like absorbs or something. This is something I have encountered alot with regular shampoos or 2 in 1s before so it's no biggie just something to be aware of. I am definitely interested in trying other scents from the brand and other shampoo bars I have noticed price hikes in hair care at the supermarkets so I look for when it's on promotion or I will use my beauty points to try the aloe and watermelon types. The weight is 60grams but once it is out of the box it seems big. I think if this does last longer than bottle shampoos it is value for money but it depends how much you usually spend on them.

I love using shampoo bars as they are just so good and with no plastic which has to be a good thing. The Banana scent does not work for me and to be honest I am not keen on smelling like food but the shampoo itself is really good. I find I need two shampoos to get a really good lather and my hair feels so good afterwards,so clean and soft .The bar is long lasting and is so easy to pack if you are traveling -no leaky bottles which is great.I will buy this brand again but just not in this flavour and the only reason I marked it down was the scent.

Now this product provides lots of bang for your bucks, easy to use long lasting, no bottles tripping over or lids breaking when they fall, only down side is it didn't smell very strongly of banana

My friend recommended this to me at the start of the year and I’m still on my first bar. It lasts so long and is great for travel. It smelt so good and the sent actually stayed in my hair. My hair felt smooth and soft. I will definitely be getting a new one once mine runs out.

I recently tried the Garnier Hair Food Shampoo Bar in Banana and I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the scent of the bar is amazing and reminds me of a fresh banana smoothie. It lathers up nicely and leaves my hair feeling clean and refreshed.

However, I've also noticed that my hair feels a bit more dry after using this shampoo bar compared to my regular shampoo. I've also noticed that my curls are not as defined as they usually are after washing my hair with this bar.

That being said, I do appreciate that the shampoo bar is a more sustainable option and eliminates the need for plastic bottles. I also love the fact that it's free of sulfates, silicones and parabens, which is great for those with sensitive scalps.

In conclusion, I'm still on the fence about this shampoo bar. It's great in terms of sustainability and the scent is amazing, but I'm not sure if it's the best option for my hair type. I would recommend giving it a try if you're looking for a more sustainable option, but just be aware that it might not work for everyone.

To begin with I was confused as to how, what looked like a bar of soap, would generate enough foam to actually wash my long straight hair. From first use I found this product great, the fact that it washes but also nourishes is a massive plus for me. As me mentioned above, my hair is long and straight - I have struggled to find a liquid shampoo that doesn't dry my hair. With the shampoo bar, It only takes a few wipes of the bar on your scalp to generate enough foam to be able to lather and wash your hair thoroughly. It was easy to rinse out and left a subtle but pleasant smell. Banana shampoo sounded odd to me but I was sold after first use as it made my hair feel so soft and have an amazing shine. This product was gentle on my scalp - I have psoriasis and found this did not irrate my scalp. I have since become a regular user and alternate between the banana and watermelon flavors. I have had so many comments on how great my hair looks after using this product.

This is great as an option when traveling, easy to pack and won't accidentally spill over your clothes. Smells good and I love the eco friendly packaging.

I am so glad that a big brand like Garnier is making a shampoo bar that is easily available in supermarkets and not too expensive. I have been using shampoo bars for years, but they used to be hard to get and expensive. I still used them because in my opinion there is absolutely no need for using a plastic bottle for shampoo. The same is true for body wash, but I have not found a good solid moisturiser yet. The first thing I noticed about this bar, even before I opened the box, was its amazing smell. It is so delicious! More of a general “tropical fruit” smell than straight banana. The box is recyclable and contains detailed information on the source of the ingredients of the shampoo. The bar has a cute drop shape, and smells even more delicious when you get it wet. When you apply the bar to your hair it lathers up really well, which has been a bit problematic with some of the other bars I have used before. The box says that the shampoo cleans and nourishes the hair without weighing it down, and I have to agree with all of that. My hair looks clean and healthy without me using an additional conditioner. Garnier have really nailed making a well working shampoo formula into a convenient and environmentally friendly bar. I would really recommend this to everyone, although not necessarily the nourishing banana bar, as there are other options for different hair types.

Love, love, and more love for this solid shampoo bar. I have used the same nourishing hair food and loved it so just had to try this. I have shirt hair and wash it daily and I found this shampoo bar to be economical. I keep it in a container I bought from Lush for shampoo bars. This keeps the bar dry and saves it from becoming soft. I love the scent, banana, who wouldn't? It leaves my hair soft and shiny and it smells great. My hair dose not seem as dry as it was before so I am really happy. I will tell others about this and I will buy this again.
