Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Conditioner

This stuff is weird. I like the fun food/ smoothie like packaging to make you feel as though you are going on a healthy diet but LORD KNOWS this stuff doesn’t work. I don’t know what’s in it but it coats your hair to high heavens. Similar review to the shampoo, it made my hair oily and flat and not dry properly. Who knows…it may have worked for others but it sure didn’t for me. The smell is amazing, the consistency is very runny which I found odd for a conditioner (most are usually thick enough to stay plopped on your hand). Either way, I won’t buy this product unless it is the last conditioner on earth.

Oddly a bit on the runny side so was a bit difficult coating my hair. It smells vaguely perfumed but not anything that I can pinpoint. I leave it in for a few minutes before I rinse it off. It doesn't feel slick in my hair, more of a watery texture.

I finish by blowdrying my hair. I had the most hair fall out than I ever did with other products. My hair did feel more like "hair" however it then tangled a lot. My scalp also started to get itchy and I could see bits of dandruff when I brushed my hair. I really wanted to like this because of the ethical values for the products - vegan formula - biodegradable formula - recyclable - no silicone but I didn't enjoy using them or the results. It might work better for other people.

Along with the shampoo I trialled this conditioner. It has a fresh aloe vera smell that at times seems overpowering which I wasn’t a huge fan of. I applied to my hair following the shampoo. Afterwards my hair did feel fresh, clean and hydrated. It did the job but wasn’t any better than any other standard shampoo. It was ok however I wouldn’t re purchase.

After using the shampoo was keen to try the conditioner. Great that it was in a different coloured bottle too .,again found it a bit tricky to open easily .

I liked the size as fitted well in my shower caddy ,also be good to take away when traveling .,don’t know pricing but most Garnier products are reasonably priced .

I found the conditioner very runny ,I’m used to a more thicker solution ,so wasted a bit on the shower floor . It also had a nice smell to it ,was easy to use on the ends of my hair .

I left it on for a few few minutes then rinsed ,it rinsed off easily and left my hair feeling silky and smooth . It definitely nourished my hair and took any knots or tangles out leaving it very manageable. It worked well as any conditioner does ,I didn’t find it any better than any other I’ve used before but did do the job . For the right hair type this product is worth buying ,just not for me .

As with the shampoo, this product also smells amazing, the aloe scent seems to be a bit stronger in the conditioner though. The texture is quite lightweight. I'm used to thicker conditioners that are harder to get out of the bottle, so when I squeezed the bottle, everything kinda burst out with this one. I don't think I'd continue to use this conditioner, only because i don't see huge results after using it. With the garnier hair food ranges, i find that i prefer to just use the masks rather than conditioner, as I think the masks have a better effect on my hair.

I really enjoyed using the shampoo so I was a little disappointed with the conditioner. This was a light conditioner and didn't weigh down my hair however because the formula was so runny I found it didn't really stay on well so my hair didn't feel as soft as it usually does after I use conditioner. I had to reapply conditioner. Due to the runny consistency, each time I squirt out a lot and then lose a lot from my hand before I can apply it to my hair. I really like how this range uses recyclable plastic containers which can then be recycled again.

I was really excited to try the shampoo in conjunction with the conditioner - having been thinking about using an Aloe type product in my hair for a while. unfortunately it left my hair feeling dry and not as smooth as I had hoped for - certainly not the hydration that it suggested. This happened no matter how I dried/styled my hair afterwards. Also a note for the conditioner - the bottle indicated to just use "as normal" but every conditioner I have ever used has had different instructions on its use and how long to keep it in for - so perhaps this would have been an idea for Garnier to do too?

First thing you notice is the packaging. The green colour scheme is inoffensive and well put together. Consistency of the product is nice but the smell is...Odd. It reminded me of my Mother's face cream from the 80's...Oil of Ulan or perhaps Aqueous Cream? The smell also lingers once dry. At the beginning of the week of using this, my hair responded really well to the conditioner and it had shine and bounce but as I continued, my hair was left increasingly heavy, became knottier and my scalp turned mildly flakey. Such a shame after a good start.

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

After loving the Hydrating Aloe Vera Hair Food Shampoo I was disappointed in this conditioner. It is a very thin, runny consistency, unlike other conditioners which are usually a lot thicker and coat the hair to do their job. I didn't find it detangles as it claims but it did rinse off fast and my hair does feel soft but it's a bit fluffy for my liking. I feel it should have a bit more guts for dry to normal hair to give that conditioned feel and smooth look. It does smell lovely though with the same light scent as the shampoo, it's biodegradable, vegan and the bottle is also recyclable.
