Goji is so good

I was so pleased to be picked for this trial as my hair gets really damaged through colouring and being outside a lot. I love the large pottle with screw lid and at 390 mls feels really generous. The container is white and a lovely strawberry red with a large screw top lid which is easily opened. The conditioner is white and thick and has a lovely fruity sweet smell . No bad stuff in this product which is another plus. I have tried all three ways and have been pleased with each application. Firstly I applied as leave in and first application I used too much so my hair felt greasy - This I corrected the next time after shampooing by applying a tiny bit to the ends of my hair and it worked a treat -no fly away ends and my hair felt really good. It was hard to judge how much is meant by 10 cents as I have really thick hair so would imagine a little trial and error to start. I then tried as a conditioner and this was lovely -easy to use a nice dollop and my hair felt really soft and healthy. The very best use was as a mask - I applied and left on a good five minutes and the result was really good. My hair felt really soft and had a really nice healthy shine which when you colour you hair frequently is hard to achieve. Using this product is really good for my coloured hair as it is now tangle free, shiny and soft with no dry ends . Not sure of the cost of this product but feel really worth trying and I will certainly be using in the future.

Tips: Very little needed for leave in - less is more in this application.

Loved it!

I am innlove with this conditioner. I have used it twice as a mask and found it marvelous! My gair was extremely soft and shiny. It didn't weighy my hair down at all either. I will try it as a normal conditioner next time and if its successful then I will alternate between using as a mask and conditioner.

Tips: A little goes a LONG way so don't be too heavy handed

GARNIER FRUCTIS HAIR FOOD

I was impressed with the size of the tub. The smell was pleasant and not overpowering. The first morning that I used this my husband commented on how lovely my hair looked, he said it looked healthy and shiny, not something he has ever said before. The following day our neighbours popped round and the first thing the lady said was how lovely my hair looked. My hair feels extremely soft and obviously looks in excellent condition. I would definitely buy this again, it is the best product I have ever tried and although the cost is TBC, it will be well worth whatever price they put on it. I am sure it will also help to protect my hair during the summer months, I am so impressed with it.

Tips: I used a bit smaller than golf ball size amount, and my hair is short, so for longer hair you may well need to use a little more, but well worth it :)

Love the smell

I was very excited to try this product as I regularly colour my hair and it is very dry and frizzy. First off, it comes in a huge container so there is lots of it, should last you a while. Second, I just love the smell of the berries, is very summery and the smell does linger in my hair. I tried this first as a conditioner, you don't need a lot as it is quick thick and a little goes a long way. My preferred method is as a mask, left in in my hair for about five minutes after shampooing and conditoning . I finger combed it through and then rinsed. My hair was very silky afterwards and is not feeling as dry. Even after a few days before shampooing again it still looks shiny and is not greasy at all. I would definitely use this again as I am sure my hair is just soaking it up and the results show. Hair is easy to straighten and looks a lot healthier.

Tips: Careful when you scoop it out of the container that you don't get too much as a little goes a long way.

Hair Food for Thought

Let's start by saying that during winter my hair and skin become very dehydrated. On my skin I use a lot of hydrating products and on my poor coloured hair I need to step up my game. A recent convert to hair masks I had actually dropped and cracked my one, so the timing for this one was serendipidous.

Firstly the packaging is HUGE! You get a lot or product in here. I liked that Garnier were straight up about this not being 100% natural, but very close to. I really respect the transparency there.

The smell was very sweet, but I like it, especially first thing in the morning when you're feeling a little less fresh, having something so fruity and fragrant is lovely on the senses.

The product itself is white, thick and creamy. You can use this as a conditioner, a mask or a leave in conditioner. I used mine as a conditioner and mask. I really liked that there was a lot or product because I could really cover my long hair from root to top and make sure all the goodness covered everything. And because it's sulphate free I didn't have to worry about it stripping my hair of colour.

The result was that my hair was soft, silky and smooth. I found I didn't need as much hair oil to tame the frizz which is awesome and has left my hair a lot lighter in weight.

It definitely does what it says, and for a drugstore brand I'm really impressed. Garnier really came to the party!

Tips: Cover all your hair with a generous dollop, massage it in making sure the products covers all of you hair. Get a shower cap, put it over the top and take 15 mins to put your feet up and read a good book! For extra oomph you can wrap the shower cap in a hot towel and really lock in that moisture. Then rinse and enjoy those locks!

Amazing hair product!

This is so good! I used it in place of my normal conditioner and now I think I will continue to use it as a conditioner. It left my hair feeling so soft and it really hydrated my dry ends. It smells amazing and the scent lingers in your hair all day! It made my hair smoother and less frizzy. I also love that this product is so versatile, it can be used as a hair mask and as a leave-in hair treatment. It has really made a noticeable difference to my previously dry and dull winter hair. It now looks glossy and healthy again!

Hair Food?

Upon first look I loved the packaging and the product smells amazing! Instructions are clear and I can’t wait to use it. Using the product: I found it difficult to scoop it out using wet hands, and once I had scooped it out, returning the lid with the creme on my hands was was hard to do and I ended up losing some of it on the lid. But once it was on my hair it was great - no greasy conditioner feeling, no fake chemical smell. Washing it off was so easy and my hair felt so smooth. I let my hair dry naturally and even had a few comments about the nice smell. The most wonderful thing was usually my hair gets pretty greasy fast and i’m pretty sure this product was easing some of the greasiness. So overall I was pretty happy with the actual product and the results it produces my hair truly feels softer! but a little unhappy about the mess on my bathroom shelf everytime I used it.

Tips: Took me a while til I figured out to smear product on the back of my hand first to make it easier to close when hands are wet. Also I was able to combat my greasy roots by applying mostly on the ends of my hair.

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Goji

this hair food is for coloured hair, large tub 390mls, so will last for quite a while, nice fragrance, not too strong, my hair is fine and a short bob and found i used what they recommended and left it on longer for a mask, my hair was greasy, other than that it did make my hair feel softer

Tips: only use a small amount

go-go-goji berry!

I was super stoked to get on this trial, because I love hair products and I love my hair! I knew the tub was big but I didn't realize it was THIS big, a whopping 390 grams of delicious hair mask. In my experience hair masks come in 200g or smaller amounts, so I was very pleased to have such a large amount.

The product is a creamy off white and holy sh* is it thick!!! It also smells absolutely glorious! I'm not sure if it's goji berry esque, but it's still very nice. It applies very easily, I start from the tip of my hair and work backwards. It's easier to apply to wet hair but it's not impossible to apply on dry. Onto the results!

As conditioner: Less is definitely more with this. I applied maybe the amount of a 5c piece and found that it was plenty to cover my hair. Rinsing out my hair felt silky and smooth but once it was all out it kinda felt... dry? Like I hadn't put any in at all. I refrained from adding more and dried it partially au natural, partially with the help of my hair dryer. My hair felt soft and hydrated, even the super faded color looked good. I think I had less frizzy flyaways too. My only gripe is that my hair felt a little heavier than usual, and it got oilier faster than usual.

As a leave in: Again, less is definitely more! I ran my finger over the top of the product once for each side (so twice) and that was plenty for my tips. However it made my hair heavy, and was harder to brush - with oil it brushes easily and feels soft to the touch, it was the opposite with this. My hair didn't feel all that soft, it was weighed down but it smelled good. Not sure that's a selling point but! However after I rinsed it out the next day in the shower, my hair felt really good.

As a mask: I've tried this two ways, before shampooing and after shampooing like suggested. My preferred method is the former, simply because of how my hair reacted to this as a conditioner - I didn't want to shampoo my hair and condition and THEN have this on top. Too heavy and it would have been a waste of shampooing in my opinion.

I applied the mask and left it for a good 20 minutes, as my opinion of hair masks is - if they claim to do something, it's going to take longer than 1 minute to achieve that result. Rinsing and shampooing it out was easy peasy, and next time I'd use way less conditioner than I did on this occasion. The smell of the hair mask is enough to overpower my shampoo and conditioner combined! I also think shampooing it after the mask is better because my hair is definitely less heavy and incredibly soft. This is by far my preferred method of use for this hair product, and I'd happily repurchase (but of course in a different smell!)

Smell so good you could eat it

Before even opening the packet I could already smell how good it was! I love that it not only smells good but it's 98% natural! This is such a versatile product that doesn't weigh your hair down. I also love how it can be used three different ways.
