Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo

I was so excited to receive an invitation for this trial (thanks BR) because I'm mad obsessed with all things banana. I tried the mask of this when it first came out and was hoping for a shampoo and conditioner to go with it. Thank the heavens someone was listening lol.

So let's talk about packaging first - comes in a squeeze bottle with a flip lid to open and close. I don't want to start off negative but do you have to be a super hero to open this lid? I struggled to open this and still have issues with it. Maybe I'm just weak cos man.......lol.

Anyhoo, enough about the negatives, let's talk about that smell - oh my goodness. It takes all of my self control not to want to eat it, it's soooo good. My hair smells like banana for so long after it's been washed.

It comes out really thick and clear (not yellow) and lathers up really well. By this time, my hair is already nice and soft before applying the conditioner.

It leaves my hair super soft and hydrated. Definitely helps with my dry hair.

Love love love this.

I was excited to try this new Garnier Fructis shampoo - less excited to discover the shampoo for dry hair was banana flavoured. It turns out the scent of these products is a delicious and not overpowering tropical fruity smell.

Being marked as 96% natural origin and of a 95% biodegradable formula, Garnier is acknowledging this product isn't perfect but is super close. I also appreciate the fact it's free of silicones.

This Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo squeezes out of the bottle easily and is thick and translucent, easy to measure out in your hand. it doesn't foam up too much but or feel as if it's stripping your hair of moisture, but it distributes through your hair easily.

Once dry my hair smelt pleasant enough and the final result lives up to the "no weigh down" promise on the bottle.

The bottle looks like it might contain a juice or smoothie. It is recyclable and made with 50% recycled plastic, however I find the flip cap a bit difficult to open with wet hands in the shower - it seems like the cap isn't quite tall enough.

I need to use the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo for much longer to understand the long-term benefits, however over the short term I'm happy to say my hair is looking clean and nourished.

My hair type Is naturally thick curly hair that is prone to be frizzy.

First off this shampoo smelt like banana lollies! At first I didn’t like it but it grew on me and wasn’t so strong the more I used the product. The scent does stay on the hair but is not over powering.

The consistency of the product is a little bit more of a light gel than really runny like some shampoos. For a natural shampoo it lathers really well as well, some natural shampoos barely lather at all. I found this to clean my hair well without weighing down my hair and making my scalp feel dry.

This shampoo comes in a 350ml bottle. The shampoo is clear and smells delicious. It foams well and cleaned my hair and scalp without any irritations. You don't need to use much as it's quite concentrated and I can see it lasting a while.

My hair has been bleached and is regularly subjected to heat. I really wanted this yummy bottle of shampoo to work at nourishing my damaged strands. But it made things worse!

The second ingredient is SLS - which I don’t have an issue with - but such a high concentration of it left my hair instantly dry. It was tangled and straw-like.

Because it smells delicious I will finish the bottle as a body wash, but Devi Italy won’t repurchase.

The Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo has been amazing for my hair. It feels fresh and clean after a wash with this shampoo and smells amazing.

The shampoo lathers up into a really nice lightweight foam which leaves my hair feeling fresh and cleansed but it doesn't feel stripped out or weighed down by product. My hair is left feeling clean and nourished.

The smell of this shampoo is just delicious, it is super fruity and yummy. Leaves my hair smelling like banana lollies.

I love that this is a vegan product with a lot of naturally derived ingredients but it is still and afforable accessible super market brand.

I will be buying this over and over again, my hair feels beautiful and healthy with this shampoo and I love it!!

I really liked using this range. I love their hair masks and these are perfect to add to the regime. I love the smell, this one smells like banana smoothie and also how it's 96% natural ingredients. I always shampoo twice as I find it cleans better. Would recommend

Thank-you Beauty review for sending me the Garnier Fructis Banana hair food shampoo to trial. This range is recommended for dry hair so prefect for me as I have long dry hair. The shampoo in the range is 96% natural origins and contains no silicones or artificial colourants. The packaging is yellow and looks like a smoothie bottle. The shampoo is clear and quite thick. I find it a little sticky but it does lather up well with water. I found I didn't need much either. The smell is quite strong with the shampoo so I tend to wash it off straight away. The first time I used this my hair looked clean but by day two my roots were quite oily. The second time I used it my hair looked and felt greasy and I could feel some residue on my scalp. I wouldn't say my hair is any more nourished or less dry. I definitely think there are much better shampoos out there and perhaps it wasn't the best suited for my hair at this point in time. I wouldn't repurchase this again as my hair felt greasy after washing.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this and I am so happy I was….this is my new go too (read my review for the set). First off, I love the smell…it’s not your typical banana smell. I said in the set review is like a banana vibe perfume smell…not a fake over the top banana scent. Anyway, it smells great and I’ve had lots of compliments on my amazing smelling hair. I like this shampoo because while it lathers up really nice, it’s not drying on my scalp or my curls. I can even wash hair in the morning before work, and I don’t have to worry about a big frizzy Afro. Get this product is all I can say…you won’t regret it.

I have been using this shampoo over the last 2 weeks and love it. It smells insanely good, like some sort of delicious cocktail you could drink. I have quite fine hair and I find it gives it a bit of a lift and my hair feels fuller. Highly recommend this shampoo!
