Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Conditioner

I picked this up in the Beauty Vault, thanks BR. Not sure why I didn't get the matching shampoo also lol I must have been having a moment.  I love this range and I have nearly tried them all now. I adore the packaging but one thing that annoys me is the lid can be quite tricky to open sometimes, especially with wet slippery hands.

I wasn't sure what to expect frangrance wise but I like it, it smells very fresh and isn't too overpowering. Consistency wise it is sooooo thin and runny. I really hate a runny conditioner as it tricks my mind and makes it feel like I am applying shampoo. I have long hair so I feel like I need to apply a lot to get my hair covered.

Once my hair is coated I let it sit while I go about my shower, it washes out easily and I get very minimal colour come out. Once dry my hair feels lovely and soft, it smells clean and it appears to have less frizz.

I would love to try this with the matching shampoo to see how well they go together. I do like the conditioner I just hate how runny it is as I prefer something thick and luxurious.

I love the way the bottle is totally different from most of the other shampoo and conditioner bottles kind of like a fruit juice bottle I keeping with the fruity range. I really chose this one from the whole range because I hate products that smell like fruit and this is the only one that doesn’t and I was dying to try. It’s still scented but not too overwhelming. It’s quite a thin consistency for a conditioner which was a surprise. I’m not going to say it’s amazing, it’s gets the job done and it easy to rinse out. I won’t use everyday I don’t think but I actually quite like a conditioner that’s not as thick as gluggy as most for a change so I will probably repurchase occasionally if on sale. I think the price point is too high for what it is if it’s full price.

Like the shampoo the Packaging is vibrant trendy and very cool, love how its also easy to tell the difference between your shampoo and conditioner especially when your all wet and other brands are same colour..

also finally a shampoo and conditioner combo that fits nicely in the shower caddy

Love the smell of this product, the constancy maybe a little runny, but that's OK, goes a long way, and conditions the hair very well.

i found the conditioner is a great, my hair looks nice and clean and shinny enough for a supermarket conditioner. was easy enough to style after too. so very happy with these products.

thanks again to be able to try

I would recommend this product for a every day or every second day wash.

Beautiful sustainable packaging with a lovely scent but that’s as far as my positive words go. Super thin product that most hit the ground before actually reaching the hair, hair was not as soft as it is with normal routine and I was having to wash my hair a lot more often than with my normal routine

I used this three times in conjunction with the shampoo and it's certainty got some good points!

But first: The bottle - looks cute, I quite like a smaller size to join the crowd in the shower but its weirdly difficult to open with wet hands, and hello who doesn't have wet hands after shampooing their hair? The conditioner itself is quite thin, a bit of a shock after the shampoo is super thick but has a pleasant scent.

I found that I used a second squirt after putting the usual amount into my hair, and my hair is quite short so people with longer hair might use quite a bit more than they usually do :(

It rinsed out well and my hair styled nicely after using both the shampoo and conditioner the first time.

The conditioner is good but for me couldn't make up for the dryness I had in my hair after using the shampoo the next couple of times so it will get a "use occasionally" place in the rotation for me.

The first thing I like is the packaging! Different from the classic Garnier shampoo/condition slim bottle - it is super cute, reminds me of a juice bottle. The bottle looks and feels like a premium version of the classic Garnier range. The breakdown of ingredients on the back of the bottle is easy peasy to understand, with 98% of natural origin products I found it an interesting read.

As all Garnier products do - it smells yummy. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with Aloe Vera, it was light and refreshing but not overpowering. The texture is lighter than the shampoo (which is more jelly-like), I did find a bit more product came out of the bottle than I typically use.

Conditioning is my favourtie part of my hair routine - it feels satisfactory running my fingers through my detangled hair! It seems like a standard conditioner, I wouldn't say it does anything spectacular or groundbreaking but it gets the job done!

At a 350ml volume bottle, I would expect it would last me a few weeks. It is on the smaller size, which is good if you are just wanting to try a new product out. The price point of $12.00 (full price at countdown) is more than I wouldn't want to pay for a supermarket brand hair product especially since I grew up using the classic Garnier range which on sale was $3! It is currently on sale for $8.40 which is more realistic in my opinion.

This Garner Aloe Conditioner is nice. It does the job and leaves my hair smooth and shiny, but it didn’t blow me away with amazingly soft hair. What I was impressed with was the long-lasting smell power it has, more than other conditioners I’ve tried. Used with the shampoo, it’s a lovely combo. A few things I’m not a fan of is the consistency and packaging. I found it a little watery for my personal preference - I prefer thicker creams. The second is that the packaging just isn’t cute. It looks like a health vegetable smoothie in my shower and some thing that children would accidentally drink. I’ll use this up and would recommend to friends but probably wouldn’t repurchase myself.

This conditioner is a thin milky almost watery. With a flip lid it is easy to use. It does have fragrance which i didn't like so much it was almost like a fake flowery but it doesn't last long and isn't too powerful. a little goes a long way with this and i could get really good coverage for my long hair with a little in the palm of my hand. It really left my hair hydrated, shiny and silky smooth for 3-4 days before it got that a heavier greasy feeling. So with less washing it will last longer so even though its on the pricier side fir me it will last longer so there for i think worth the slightly higher price tag for a supermarket Conditioner. It comes in a white, slender rectangle bottle it fits nicely into my shower cavities. Its clearly labelled with Pictures and all the information you will want. I really liked this conditioner it says that it would hydrate my hair and i really feel that it has, i would totally recommend this to anyone who hair needs a little extra hydration and extra natural shine.

This conditioner has a milk-like consistency which I wasn't expecting and am not used to - the liquid was quite runny and at times I found it hard not to squeeze out too much product. I also found it hard to control - getting it from my hand to my hair actually turned out to be quite a mission!

Unfortunately the thin consistency didn't feel great to apply. It felt like I needed to apply quite a lot, but on contact with my hair it just soaked in and felt like it wasn't even there. While trying to comb it through my hair wih my fingers, I was encountering knots and my hair didn't feel soft/silky while it was in or after I rinsed it out. I also ended up having knots that I had to brush out after the shower (I don't get this from most other conditioners).

I liked that my hair didn't feel weighed down after using this conditioner - probably because the consistency is so light. However, it felt like the light consistency resulted in my hair not looking/feeling shiny and soft. I was left underwhelmed by this result, especially as there are plenty of conditioners that will leave hair looking shiny without weighing it down!

The scent of the conditioner is a toned-down version of the shampoo, which I am happy about as I'm not really a fan. It smells quite artificial and clinical to me. I would prefer a floral scent or no scent at all.

I will continue to use the conditioner but I won't be repurchasing. The consistency was just too thin and left me feeling like I needed to follow up with a more moisturising product like a masque or leave in treatment.

I am in love with this product. Even after the first use, My hair felt strong, clean, and manageable. I noticed significantly less breakage and fall out. So you can imagine how awesome my hair feels after 2 uses. It has a beautiful scent, a really smooth consistency and it lathers well. When my hair dries, it isnt frizzy any more and I don't require additonal product to keep it tamed. I really want to try the mask now too...
