Best Conditioner Products!

The Garnier Fructis Hair Food conditioners are my all time favourites. The watermelon flavour has a beautiful smell which is not at all overpowering.

I use this once a week in the shower after washing my hair. I tend to leave the conditioner on for 5-10 minutes while I am shaving my legs etc. I feel like you do not need to leave the conditioner in for a long for it to leave your hair silky smooth and knotless.

Yum!!!!

This is I think my favorite scent in this line, it's a fresh smelling yummy scent. I dont really notice what each of these masks do for the hair as far as what each one is for but they all do make your hair feel fantastic. I love the thick consistency and they are so versatile, use them as a mask or just use as a conditioner after shampoo, or as a leave in conditioner. The tub you get is huge so you get alot of product so you can be very generous when using and they last a while. These masks have become a staple in our house.

Tips: I put a wee bit into a spray bottle and hot water and use as a scent for the hair and makes your hair feel so silky!

Great smelling product!

I have used this product for a month or so now. It is a big jar so it goes a long way. I have bleached hair so for me finding products that work well when moisturizing without build up is hard. I found that the product works as it says it does and has a really pleasant smell. It's not too over powering. I think that the fragrance could almost be a bit more but that's just me! I use quite a lot of the product to get even spread across my hair. It leaves your hair smelling fresh and not weighed down which many products like this do. Great work Garnier Fructis.

Tips: Put in your ends first. Leave for a bit and then put through the rest of your hair and rinse. Don't leave too long on your scalp otherwise it will create heaviness. I do this with all of these types of products.

Melon me crazy

Loved the new garnier shampoo and conditioner so when I was seeking the banana flavour from countdown I grabbed this and I was not disappointed!

It was cheap which I always love and it lasts so long for a hair mask. I usually use banana but tried this and love it just as much.

My kid used it too which makes washing and brushing her hair easy as. Plus she loves the smell much like myself. It smells equally as nice as the banana.

The nice creamy mask texture again and smells so nice the next day when dry also.

Leaves my hair smooth and strangled. The one thing with it though... it’s hard to find as my usual pack and save don’t stock garnier!! So it means special trips to other supermarkets as I either use this of L’Oréal. I like to mix it up but I generally tend to have this in the house so it can be a hunt if I need it.

Love this and ultimately it’s worth the trip!

Watermelon Hair Food

How nice to have yet another lovely cruelty free, environmentally friendly and natural product - this one to really pamper my very fine old hair. Another faintly fragrant cream -easy to use lavishly from the tub. It is really lovely for those who, like me, wash their hair in the bath, Using this hair mask is just another excuse to luxuriate longer in the nice warm water. I am not so sure that the three minute wait would be so convenient for those who shower.but I think it would still be well worthwhile. Again this cream rinses out easily after the appropriate waiting time - and the result- bouncy, shining and easily mangeable hair that has kept its shape for three days so far - I no longer need to wash it daily to keep it looking good.

Morning Glory

I was surprised to receive a large pot of “hair food”. After shampooing and using conditioner I followed the directions and oh WOW this product is definitely up to expectations. My long fine hair is, full and soft and wavy and untangled. After it has air dried it is easy to put up and falls into easy tendrils. I love the gentle melon perfume, it is not sickly and with natural products I give this a big tick and will use it again. The three ways to use it, as per directions, work well. I will be buying this again.

Tips: Use a good dollop on wet hair and just a fingertip amount on the ends of dry hair.

Not sure..

I am not a fan of this kind of container for a product that you have wet hands using. I wasn’t sure how much to use and definitely got water in the product and product all over the container trying to scoop some out. I love the consistency and the smell and it felt great on my hair. After I washed it out I could tell it wasn’t going to leave my hair feeling greasy like other masks. I didn’t get to use it as a leave in conditioner yet and I don’t really like the idea of leaving chemicals on my hair. However I definitely recommend this as a wash off mask. My hair felt light and was not greasy and I felt like it definitely had more volume as promised.

So dreamy

This was my fav product from the range by far! I used it as a leave in conditioner and was amazed at how it left my hair feeling so silky for days! I find some leave in conditioners can leave my hair feeling greasy or heavy, but this worked a treat! It helped keep my hair pretty much tangle free which is a biggy for me as I have lots of very fine hair strands that tangle easily! I found the scent didn't last as long on the hair as others have from the range, but that wasn't a biggy. I don't think it really gave me much volume, but it certainly did leave my hair feeling nourished! I love that the packaging is all recyclable and that it's cruelty free.

Garnier Soft Hair Food

Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of real watermelon. Childhood memories of too sweet, too watery fruit with a strange texture. The same cannot be said for Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Hair Mask. The packaging reminds me of a hair mask I used about 20 years ago from an international body products chain store. Maybe showing my age. A whopping 390ml recyclable white plastic tub (50% recycled), a non-recyclable green plastic lid, with pink watermelon image on the label. Garnier state a Vegan formula, no silicones or paragons, no artifical colourants, a 98% biodegradable formula with 97% natural origin formula, dermalogically tested. This mask claims it gives volume, bounce and movement to fine hair, hair feels soft and not weighed down. Product Use is 3 ways, as a conditioner, a mask, and a leave-in, directions given for all 3. There are also warnings in regards to do not eat and to keep out of reach of young children. The Mask is a thick, white cream, a subtle but definetly watermelon fragrance. Downside if using as a conditioner/rinse off mask, being packaged in a tub mean's it's a little hard to apply in the shower without getting water in the container, unless you have a shelf away from the shower head. The product is a lovely texture, feels rich in natural oils without being heavy, absorbs beautifully and your fingers feel like you've just applied a nice hand cream. It is easily rinsed off as a conditioner/mask without any weighed down heaviness to the hair shaft. I used this product in all three ways suggested, especially prefering it as a leave-in, which I topped up on a day when I'd been in a heated room. The mask instantly smoothed and hydrated the frizz that had occured from the environment. As claimed, the mask makes your hair feel soft - in my case, super soft! Hair feels lighter, creating the 'bounce' as claimed, which I attribute to creating the look of increased volume.

Side note: Since shaving my hair off in 2020 lockdown for fundraising, I took up a No-shampoo then a C0-wash regime for over 12 months to avoid silicone-laden hair products, which led to my once-volumous, curly hair being lank and oily-scalped, prone to humid fluff. I love there are no silicone or parabens in this product, and despite the scent of watermelon lingering post use, I will absolutely use every last bit of this huge tub, as my hair looks alive again.

Tips: If using in the shower, put in a small container you can take into the shower so as not to fill the original container up with shower water upon use.

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon

The product is packaged in a rather large container. The screw top lid opens easily to reveal a white creamy product with a scrumptious smell, although I didn’t associate the smell with watermelon at first, it was pleasant. Like the shampoo, the fragrance was not overpowering or sickly sweet smelling as some fruit based products can be. I used the product as a conditioner after shampooing then rinsed off in the shower. I also used this product on other occasions as a leave-in product applied to my dry hair the morning after simply shampooing. This was my preferred method of application as we have a limited water supply so it saved time, thus water, in the shower. This product also suggests to use as a mask by applying to wet hair after shampoo and conditioner, leave in for 1 minute then rinse. I did not try this suggestion, mainly due to the fact that our water supply is limited, but also felt that my hair didn’t need extra attention as it looked to be in better condition than before I started using these products. The product claims to give volume, bounce and movement to fine hair that feels soft and not weighed down. I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. I loved that my hair looked full of life and retained a styled look without my hair feeling heavy, sticky or claggy as it has with some styling products I have used. In the past I have not liked this feeling and couldn’t wait to wash them out. Not so with this product, I didn’t even feel a textural difference. My hair felt light and soft, even after reapplication the following day. The ‘tub’ of product would last a long time as you only need to use a small amount of product to get great results, literally a 10c sized dab smeared between fingertips and applied sparingly. I personally would prefer a smaller container, especially if using while travelling. Being environmentally aware I liked that this is a Vegan product and is 98% biodegradable. I liked that the product contains no silicone, parabens or artificial colouring. However, I was a little disappointed to discover that the container was not recyclable unlike the shampoo bottle that was made from 50% recycled plastic and was 100% recyclable. I will continue to use this product as I am very happy with the results and the new life it has given to my hair. However I would prefer a smaller container and preferably one that could be recycled.

Tips: Great product to use instead of regular conditioner if you have water supply issues. I used this in conjunction with the watermelon shampoo which was a light foam product that rinsed out easily and quickly. Then simply apply this product to wet or dry hair as a leave-in conditioner saving both time and precious water in the shower. Really handy for saving water in camper vans or on camping holidays. To prevent using too much product, dab one fingertip into the tub then spread onto all fingertips before rubbing through your hair. You can easily add a little more if needed.
