I have tried all the other scents in this range and LOVED them so recently gave this version a go, and it's just as amazing. The product comes in a very generously sized sturdy white container with a brown lid. I love that this comes with such a generous amount of product for the price, as I have thick hair and feel like most hair masks run out too quickly on me, but this one lasted me a while! The mask itself is a light brown in colour and a very thick texture, so a little goes a long way. The smell is lovely, I don't smell much of a macadamia scent (although I don't think macadamia nuts have much of a smell) but it has that typical delicious fruity Garnier scent. The smell is amazing and lingers in my hair for days afterwards which I love. As soon as I apply the hair food, my hair feels instantly nourished, smoother, straighter, and calmer. My hair always feels so healthy and soft are using this. I know this works well because when I ran out of this recently and didn't use this as my hair mask, my hair felt dry and awful like straw, so this is a miracle product. I typically use this as a hair mask on top of my conditioner, but sometimes when I am low on conditioner I use this as conditioner too. It works well as a multi use product, and is truly a supermarket miracle. Aside from the Papaya scent in this range, I'd say this scent is one of my favourite scents in the range. It smells good without being overly fruity, makes my hair feel so healthy and nourished, and is so affordable and good value for money. I cannot recommend this enough!

I was recommended this by curly girl method community, I rate this stuff so highly. I have super dry, frizzy wavy hair, this is one of the few products that has actually improved hair condition and helped tame some of the frizz. The banana verison made my hair oily and the papaya one was one.
The fragrance is plesant like fake maple syrup flavoured nuts and texture is creamy and luxurious.
It amazes me it's almost entirely made of natural ingredients, while at a decent price for a huge tub.
The packaging isnt the greatest as often water can splash in tub in shower but that's being trivial.
Definitely has now now become a staple for me.
Tips: Look for for half price Countdown sales
I really love this mask and purchased in different flavors. This one smells truly amazing. I love that you can use this as a conditioner and leave in treatment. Both ways t works great for me and my airs feel super soft and easy to brush.
This is one of two products I've been loving for nourishing my wavy/curly hair, I use it as both a conditioner and a leave in treatment depending on what I feel my hair needs. My hair is quite thin but there is a lot of it and this doesn't weigh my hair down or cause build up. The smell is ahhhmazing, even my fiance has started using whenever he finds the chance!
After reading great reviews about this hair product I decided to finally give it a try. It was the start of lockdown and I was miserable, my hair was a mess and so dry and I couldn’t get back to the hair salon for another hair treatment. I decided to send my husband to the supermarket and told him I wanted this exact one and he found it for me, I was so happy! I absolutely love the smell of this hair treatment, as soon as you twist open the tub you get this delicious smell of macadamia, although I think it smells more like mangos, it definitely smells good enough to eat! It says you can use as a conditioner, a hair mask or a leave in, I’ve already tried all 3 ways and my hair is so much better than it was. I really like that it’s made from vegetable oils and has no parabens, silicones and artificial colourants. It doesn’t weigh my hair down and I would definitely recommend this to anyone that needs something to help with very dry hair.
I purchased this specifically to be a curly girl friendly mask- that means no silicones or sulphates. This feels like incredible quality for a supermarket product, as thick as any I'd expect to buy from salon. A little goes a long way, and I do find my hair feels a lot less dry and frizzy after use (whilst not being too heavy for my fine hair). Will definitely repurchase
These masks are seriously so good. I now have tried all four. They are very affordable, even when they are not on special as the tub is a huge 390mls.
The macadamia smells nutty indeed, quite strong it isn't unpleasant but it's not my favourite scent in the range. I found it quite hydrating. It makes my hair feel soft so I differently notice a difference when my hair ends are super dry.
I think they are a fantastic range of hair masks especially for children. My daughter loves using these to help condition her hair as they smell fantastic.
Tips: Great for kids who don't like there hair being washed.
I got recommended this product by a friend who has dry hair like mine. Personally i do not love this, i use it like a hair mask rather than conditioner or leave in treatment because i find that's how it works best for me. I find with these hair masks i like the smell at first but i get over it so quickly as it can be overpowering. It is a very large container with plenty of product in it so the value for money is very good. I would not be likely to reach for this again simply because there are other things out there that i like more for similar products.
I don’t usually buy Garnier hair products but after seeing it recommended on here and in need of a new mask, I was keen to give the range a go. Even more so when I saw it on special at Countdown for $6! For such a huge tub, what a bargain. I decided to try the Macadamia version first as the description on the tub seemed best suited to my hair type. It can be used a few different ways but so far I have only used it as a mask, left in for an hour. I try to use once a week or at least once a fortnight and I adore the results. My hair is left feeling super soft, feeling and looking nourished, shiny and with less frizz and flyaways. Basically everything I want and expect from a mask but at a bargain price. Oh and it smells amazing! Can’t wait to try the other variations and also keen to try just as a daily conditioner. ..
I picked up several pots of this one . My hair is thick dry at my ends . My children also have hair like mine. I purchased jars of it for all of us to stop them from using up our conditioner.
This comes in a large sized pot . Labelling is bright easy to identify on the shelf. The thickness of this hair product is thick . This scent reminds me of caramelised macadamias sweet fruity and cheerful.
On damp hair I like to let this sit into my hair . Then wash it out. Other times I have left it in my hair and used it as a detangler to brush through knots in my hair . It works a dream. After using this my hair is smooth easy to work with .
It’s priced fairly . It’s becoming a family favourite. I would recommend trying this out if you have dry hair .
