Lovely smelling, multipurpose hair product

Smells like banana - delicious! Although if you don't like fragrance this isn't for you because it's quite a strong smell.

You can use this as a regular conditioner, hair mask or a leave in. I think it's so great that this can be used for more than one thing. I used it mostly as a hair mask a few times a week.

It's very moisturizing without weighing down your hair, which is something I loved. I found it really helped moisturize my dry ends but wasn't too heavy.

Loved how much you get in the container, how easy it is to find in the shops, and that it's cruelty free with mostly natural ingredients. This paired really well with the banana shampoo bar and helped keep dry frizziness at bay for me.

Love my hair smelling like banana.

Tips: I used a wide toothed comb to spread this product evenly throughout my hair, focusing on the lengths/ends rather than the scalp to avoid greasiness at the roots.

The smell!!!

When you open the container you get a beautiful aroma! I used this in all ways it suggested you do, but I loved the effect most when I put it into my wet hair before running the brush through or drying with the hair dryer. My hair was soft, shiny and smelt gorgeous. I found it best teamed with my normal shampoo, rather than the same scent in a shampoo bar.

Very good

Very good pot of conditioner. A sizeable amount, great consistency (you don’t need a whole lot to cover shoulder length hair), and the smell is not overpoweringly banana. The price is fair for the amount you get in a pot, and especially considering that you can use this product 3 ways: conditioner, mask, or leave-in. For me, the results weren’t tremendous, but I do have very dry hair naturally and often dye it at home. I do find that using these Garnier conditioners helps a TONNE to keep my hair shiny and voluminous.

Fun treat, but not a forever friend

A really yummy smell, like a banana cinnamon smoothie, the smell lasts well and gets less 'foody' and more pleasing when hair dries. This conditioned my hair well when rinsing out in the shower, and when not rinsing it was good for the hair ends, wouldn't put it in dry hair further up though because it makes the hair look separated and strandy. I have thin straight hair and it didn't bog me down too much, it felt nicely healthy after use. One downside is the container is annoying to use in the shower, water gets in easily.

Tips: Good in damp hair as a leave-in on split ends/dry ends

Only two uses to feel a difference

Brought this to try after I used a Shampoo that dried my hair out. I couldn't brush it without it knotting and kept breaking my hair. But after just two washes with this product and NY hair already feels softer and less knotty. I hope to continue to see more improvement with my hair as I continue to use it.

Solid and consistent performance

This product has been great to use. I was a little apprehensive at first with it being banana but it has had great results when using as a mask or running it through after a shower. Hair is soft and easy to manage.

Tips: I cannot go past the mask, give your hair a good wash and sleep in it for a night before rinsing in the morning before work.

More than worth it!

This stuff is amazing. The smell is delicious and strong - long lasting as well. It always leaves my hair feeling soft and looking healthy and shiny. I always make sure to stay stocked up on this product and can't emphasize enough on how amazing it is.

Smells delicious!

The ingredients list has ‘banana juice’ amongst the top half of the list. I’m not sure if this is from real bananas or a not.

The hair food comes in a generous sized tub, it’s really easy to scoop it a nice decent chunk of product. Admittedly, when using a cream product in the shower, I wish it was in a pulp or squeeze bottle for ease of use and to avoid getting shower water in the container.

The banana flavour is very sweet, almost like a banana bubblegum flavour; it’s a very pleasant smell that I really enjoy.

There are 3 possible uses of the hair food; hair conditioner, hair mask or leave in conditioner. I have tried all three. In all honesty I have a tendency to let conditioners sit in my hair for a minute or so anyway, so I found the use as a mask and conditioner much the same. It did make my hair visibly soft and shiny which I really like. I also loved that I could occasionally get a ‘whiff’ of the banana smell during the day.

When I used it as a leave in conditioner I did not like the results. I have dry, coloured ends but my roots can get greasy. I applied a small amount of product to the ends of my hair when towel dried. My hair looked really dirty and greasy within hours of drying. I wouldn’t use this as a leave in conditioner again.

Overall I really liked the banana hair food, it smells delicious an it works well as a wash out conditioner. I will continue to enjoy using the rest of my tub!

Tips: Only use as a leave in conditioner on very dry hair, it was too oily for mine (I have dry coloured ends)

Banana Bliss

After seeing all the wonderful reviews about this hair mask , I had to try it for myself. My hair type is coloured with dry ends frizzy knotty mess. I picked up my jar from Countdown. I love to sneak in hair products every now and then .

Packaging comes in a generous sized pot . Much bigger than other hair conditioning treatments . Packaging is bright coloured easy to read packaging. Twist top lid.

Consistency is creamy and white in colour thick smooth. Scent is true to Banana scent. Sweet blissful aroma of Bananas.

Application I normally massage a palm full of melts into my hair like butter. Feels silky and smooth upon rinsing out .

Afterwards my frizziness is tamed . I can get the brush through my knotty hair . I’m amazed at the result.

Overall I think price wise it’s fair. One pot lasted me three months . Generous single use per week as a treatment for my hair . Had no reactions. I still had dry ends. Not a complete miracle treatment. I would recommend trying this.
