Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Shampoo

Oh Garnier. You have struck gold with the hair food range!

1. The packaging. It looks amazing - like little juice or milk bottles. The shampoo is orange - easy to tell apart from the white conditioner bottle. Very sturdy lid, so would be good for trips away. Lots of information.

2. The smell. PAPA-YES!!! It is strong, it last long. It makes you hungry. What more could you want from a shampoo flavour?

3. Cost. I had a quick google and these seem to be around the 11$ mark - very reasonable.

4. Economical? The shampoo is very economical, I'd easy get 3 months from this bottle, I don't use very much at all!

5. The results. WOWZA. My bleached ends felt hydrated and less brittle than before use. My hair was very soft and shiny but not fluffy or weighed down.

All up its about the best supermarket shampoo I've tried.

This shampoo smells absolutely delicious and comes in a 350ml recyclable bottle. It is vegan for those that prefer that and it doesn't contain silicon which is preferable to me. Garnier also commit to a world without animal testing which gets my vote. I used this shampoo a few times and it lathered up well and left my hair feeling very clean but I feel I need to use it longer to garner as to whether it repaired my chemically treated hair to any extent. I couldn't read the ingredients on the bottle very well as the print is quite small but aside from that, I give it a thumbs up.

I love good smelling shampoo that stays on my hair. I love the texture and my scalp feels clean after using it. I can only smell papaya rather than papaya and coconut but I still like it because it stays on my hair for a long period of time. I love the fact that it's using 98% natural ingredients and it's 100% vegan formula major plus is it's cruelty free! There are very few brands who does this and I really think it's a good initiative.

Fan of garnier as this didn’t disappoint.Lovely smelling product. A little goes a long way and it left my hair feeling more nourished. I love the packaging due to this it was easy to tell the difference once you know which is which, very helpful for myself as I’m shortsighted.

I love almost everything about this shampoo! It comes out very thick, almost gel like, and smells like a tropical smoothie. It doesn't have that fake sudsy lather feeling like other cheaper shampoos but it does really clean the hair well. I double shampoo anyway, so making sure the hair is well cleansed. I didn't find that it detangled my hair which was a slight let down, but I am yet to find a shampoo that does, so I won't fault it on that. It comes in a really cool bottle too which almost looks like a sauce bottle - very different, but very cool.

Thanks BR for giving me the chance to trial this shampoo . The smell is nothing short of a tropical platter in Fiji and the scent lingers all day. The packaging is eye catching and I love the flip top cap. The shampoo is clear and I really like this as it seems more natural. I was a little worried that it would weigh my hair down as I have incredibly fine hair but it didn’t at all. My hair has been shiny and soft and really healthy looking. I will definitely be purchasing this again and I’d love to try the Watermelon for fine hair.

Liked this product very much , it left my hair feeling sleek and shiny , l did not have to use too much to get my hair clean . Fragrance is lovely , and smells very natural

So I thought this shampoo was really nice. I felt like it cleaned my hair really well and wasn’t harsh at all. It smelt divine which I loved about it. After the shower my roots would feel soft but clean because in the past some shampoos have made my roots feel either dry and clean or soft and dirty. I think I would buy this again in the future as I do like products that I can easily find at the supermarket.

This shampoo ticks all the boxes!

It is nice and thick and comes in a squeezable bottle - so it's easy to get exactly the right amount.

It smells amazing! But the smell also doesn't linger very strongly after your hair is dry so it won't clash with any other scents you use.

The results also speak for themselves - even after just one wash I noticed a huge improvement in the texture of my hair. It makes my hair noticeably softer and feels oh so clean!

I found that I needed to use quite a lot of this product compared to my regular shampoo to feel like it was properly dispersed through my long fine hair. But I estimate that I would still get 35 washes out of a bottle so that still seems pretty reasonable - particularly for such great results!

One thing I did notice is that the label on the front says 96% natural origin but the label on top of the lid says 98% - hopefully not too many bottles have been mislabeled.

Overall I would highly recommend this shampoo - to the point where it will be replacing my current shampoo!
