Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Shampoo and Conditioner

This shampoo and conditioner range is vegan, recyclable, cruelty free, free from silicone and smells amazing!

The packaging looks so good- I love the size and shape. I really appreciate the ingredients list on the back- so easy to read and see what you are putting on your hair.

Did I say these smell amazing??? The fruity smell lasts for ages! There is no way my 3 daughters can hide having used my hair products now! You can smell it a mile away.

These products work really well together. My hair is easy to wash and when it dries naturally I think it enhances and keeps my natural wavy curls looking good. I usually use a smoothing oil in my hair but I haven’t felt I needed it while using this shampoo and conditioner.

I did notice I used way more conditioner than shampoo- this could be annoying but I just look at it as saving money the next time I go shopping because I only have to buy the Conditioner and not the shampoo as well!

Mmmmm the smell of these two products is absolutely incredible! I love how they are made of mostly natural ingredients.

However, I was not impressed with the shampoo and conditioner.

The shampoo was a nice consistency and lathered up really well. It did make my hair feel dryer than usual and it definitely didn’t hydrate it.

The conditioner was quite runny and it weighed down my hair noticeably. It felt lank and heavy. When I was blow drying my hair, it was also frizzier than usual and was quite staticy.

I was so disappointed as I had very high hopes after previously using the papaya hair mask

Not only do these products work amazingly well on my hair to repair damage but they smell incredible.....feels like I'm in a tropical paradise when using.

Easy to use with a fast rinse formula, they are vegan friendly, contain no silicone and left my hair feeling refreshed, nourished, light weight, shiny and fizz free.

Bottles come in a generous 350ml size and are fully recyclable. I also give Garnier a massive tick for not testing on animals.

Honestly smells amazing! The perfect blend of papaya and coconut, along with other goodies!

My hair felt pretty nourished and soft afterwards, I think the longer I use it the more it will help with repairing damaged hair. The textures go well together, not too thin or thick. And definitely do what it says! The packaging is great being recyclable and biodegradable. Great natural and vegan product and no testing on animals! Really rate duo shampoo and conditioner and highly recommend a top favourite vegan and natural hair product!

This really does work! Since using the shampoo and conditioner my hair looks healthy, less frizzy and is smooth. I've never had my hair looking this good before - except for when walking out of the hairdressers. I also love the smell, which really surprised me, I think because I don't like eating papaya so I expected not to like it, but it's a beautiful tropical scent which lingers after washing the product off.

So before you read any further I’ve been using Olaplex shampoo & conditioner consistently for about… 4 years. I have curly hair prone to dryness/frizz that has been professionally coloured every 6 months or so including lightener.

Packaging: The bottles are really cute and I love that they’re 100% recyclable, made from 50% recycled plastic, have a vegan formula and are silicone free. The lid is easy to open when my hands are wet, and its fairly easy to pour the amount I want (though the conditioner is runnier than expected).

Product: The shampoo smells really amazing and definitely does an ok job. My curly hair doesn’t appreciate it though and I started to get the ‘straw-like’ feeling when rinsing the shampoo out so swapped back to Olaplex part way through the trial. My partner says “hair is cleaner than it was 10/10, nice and foamy, smells like papaya which is fun, made my hair nice and clean feeling” The conditioner was definitely runnier than I expected (again, I’m used to Olaplex which definitely has a thick creamy feeling). It smoothed out my hair after the shampoo fairly well but I did feel a bit like I wanted to condition twice or have a thicker product. My partner has been exclusively using this since we got it and says “Conditioner felt super lovely and creamy, rinsed out easy and now my hair is real soft.” His hair isn’t quite as soft as it was with Olaplex, but definitely smooth and smells lovely.

The verdict: This is definitely an “ok” product. It smells great, it works fairly well and I think for most hair types that aren’t of the moisture craving variety – this would be an excellent option. For me its not quite there, but will definitely be a backup, and I’ll buy it for my partner/guests to use. I’m really glad to have another product in the house so he doesn’t use all of my expensive stuff.

I liked these products individually, but they worked wonders for my hair together. Only a small amount of each product was required and my hair's condition feels improved afterwards - my hair is quite dry and damaged due to colouring, particularly on the ends. The products feel light weight and there was no residue

These bottles are cute. They remind me of juice bottles. They are plastic (recyclable) with a flip top lid. The shampoo bottle is orange and the conditioner white. 96-98% natural origin (fantastic). Instructions are simple (it is shampoo and conditioner) with lots of info on the labels. The shampoo lathers up extremely well, and both the conditioner and shampoo rinse out really easily. They don't have an overly strong scent, the shampoo is slightly stronger on scent. If juicy had a smell, I think this is what it would smell like. I have had less hair fall since using and my hair in general looks healthier, shinier and feels softer, almost silky without looking oily. These products detangle my hair, so no knots when brushing, which means less breakage and damage. Loving these products so far. Along with the shampoo and conditioner, there is also a hair food mask. Will be keeping an eye open, so I can give this a try also.

I really enjoyed these products together . They made my hair smell amazing all my friends loved the smell , my hair felt really soft afterwards and my hair is extremely damaged so it doesn’t usually feel that good! I really enjoyed getting to review these products .

Along with the shampoo it smells amazing and combined made my hair feel nourished and soft. Packaging is great and pricing looks very reasonable online. I have and will recommend to others .
