Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Review

This is one of the only products that is a constant in my hair care routine. It has so many purposes and all work great. I have a dry scalp and hair and my hair is curly. It is such a good leave in treatment for afterwards and helps my curls feel hydrated. Essential in my hair care routine!

I was sent this as a tester, as soon as it arrived in the courier I could smell it! It wasn't a bad smell though, it is quite strong so it may dominate anything else you have on if you use it as a leave-in, I personally like it. 1st time I used it as a leave-in, which is my favourite way of using any hair product - no excuses! I love how it can be used as a conditioner, a mask or a leave-in. As a leave-in I noticed immediately my hair looked good, I have coarse Asian hair and prone to frizzing and becoming too poofy, this really tamed my hair and this was the first time I left home without having to tie my hair up, which says a lot. 2nd time I used it as a mask, my hair felt soft afterwards and the smell wasn't as strong but it left a nice fragrance. P.S. love the size and how non-greasy it is in the hands, would buy!

I was really pleasantly surprised with the size of the tub. The contents was near full and was a great first impression. The tub itself is beautiful and the hair food smells lovely. Not too strong but very pleasant.

I tried it all three ways stated on the container. The first day I tried it I used it as a Leave-in Conditioner and I found this great on the dry ends of my hair because I get such staticky hair and this calmed it down really well. Next I tried it as a conditioner and wasn't too impressed. I felt my hair look oily and dirty after using it but I didn't wash it out until a few days later when I washed my hair and used the product sparingly as a hair mask. After that wash my hair looked great. Silky and smooth and well moisturised.

I feel this product does what it says and I will definitely continue to use it and recommend it to my friends.

I really loved this product. It is so versatile. I loved that I had so many ways of using it. As a conditioner it detangled beautifully and the yummy fragrance was simply devine. My hair was left soft and shiny. After using it as a hair mask my hair felt well nourished and looked lovely. I especially liked the short amount of time required to leave it in. My favourite way of using though was as a leave in conditioner. My normally frizzy hard to manage curls were soft, defined curls - with no frizz and no greasiness! I was happily surprised by the results. The light weight texture made it so easy to use. I definitely recommend using this product.

Well, this is most definitely my new hair care must have! I love love love this product! It smells lovely, is nice and thick and the packaging is nicely designed. It's an easy screw top pottle so it's easy to use even when your hands are wet from the shower.

I'm so excited that the mainstream brands are starting to get on the natural and environmentally friendly bandwagon. This formulation is just as good, if not better, than Garnier's other, not so pure, formulations.

I tried the product is all of the three ways listed on the back: - as a conditioner (I really like this, it felt like a really rich conditioner and left my hair feeling smooth and silky) - as a mask (I got the same result from using this as a mask as I did using it as a conditioner, so given the extra time involved in using a mask, I'm not as convinced by this one) - a leave in (this is my favourite - I used this instead of my usual argan oil hair product and this is so so so much better! My usually frizzy hair became lovely waves. Someone asked me if my hair naturally did that and they were shocked when I told them it did. Also, a little goes a long way).

All in all, I love this product and I'd definitely 100% recommend to anyone.

I just loved how you can use this product 3 different ways, a normal conditioner, a leave in treatment or a hair mask as well as the fact it is 98% natural origin. I tried all 3 ways but have to say the hair mask was my absolute fave!!! I used the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia along with my Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo or the shampoo & conditioner combo (got hooked on this after trying it via Beauty Review!) depending on what treatment I was doing. While using as any of the 3 your hair is left smelling absolutely yummo and feels as well as looks more settled, but I found using it as a hair mask the best for me as when I let my hair naturally dry it still kept the curl looking soft as well as together and controlled instead of the annoying little halo of static frizz I still got a bit of normally as well as keeping the curl well controlled even after a couple of days. My hair feels even more healthy and soft and I just love having no frizz after using this. I totally recommend this to anyone with a bit of frizz to their hair or has curls that go a bit out of control because you will love it and not want to part with it once you start!

My first reaction when I "met" this product is that it is huge tub. It is in a ice cream like tub, which plays on the whole food thing. It is a really eye catching design. It definitely brightens up the shelf in my shower. I always use a hair masks a conditioner. My hair is super dry and coarse so anything that promises to smooth and moisturise unruly hair...I'm in! I use a hair mask as a conditioner all the time. It seems like a more nourishing effective way to condition my hair. I have no issues with products weighing my hair down since it is so fluffy and coarse. As you would expect of a mask, this mask is very thick and creamy. It makes it easy to apply a thick coating to my freshly shampood hair. It has a subtle fragrance. Which is a bit different to what I would expect from Garnier Fructis. I have always thought Garnier Fruictis had strong sweet fruity fragrances. This mask seem like a more grown up hair product. I left it on my hair for 5 mins, and rinsed it out. I was really impressed with the results. My hair felt softer and less frizzy. It left a really nice subtle fragrance in my hair. I have a feeling the condition of my hair will continue to improve after every use. I look forward to using this product on a regular basis. And I would definitely repurchase again....although that wont be for a while.....since the tub is so big!

I absolutely loved trying this Hair Food. Now I feel like it is a must have for me. There's no turning back now.

I like how it comes in a jar type container. Its easy to access and I am in control of how much product I am getting out and using so there is hardly any waste during application. A little goes a long way which is awesome. The product itself smells bloody delicious! I'm very impressed of how it smells. I have used this as a hair mask, conditioner and a leave in treatment and each time I have had the best results. My hair is left super soft, healthy, nourished and smoothe.

I completely recommend giving this a go and Im going to buy and try more flavors ( flavors, smells, hair food)

When I first received this product I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the tub. It contains 390ml of product and after only a few uses I've hardly made a dent in it.

I especially like that this is a 98% natural product. The 2% of ingredients that are unnatural are necessary to ensure the product doesn't go off, which is fine with me. It contains coconut oil and macadamia seed oil that helps to ensure my hair is left nourished and moisturised. It doesn't have any parabens or silicones in it, which is great for people who are sensitive to these

The texture of the product is thick and creamy. I find that only a small amount of product goes a long way. It has a nice smell which is a cross between coconut oil and a fruity scent. The smell lasts on my hair for at least two days after I've used it.

I've only noticed positive changes in my hair since using this product. I've definitely noticed that my hair has become visibly softer and shinier. I even had a co-worker comment on how healthy my hair looked the other day, so something must be working!

My favourite method for using it is to apply it to wet hair will already in the shower. I find that it applies much easier this way. Then I leave it for a few minutes and wash it out.

Overall I've really enjoyed using this product and I will continue using it until the tub runs out.

This is the second scent/fragrance I bought from the hair mask range and probably my least favourite as it doesn't smell as scrummy as the others but that does not stop it from being just as amazing when it comes to the actual results of using it.

I bought this when it was on special at Countdown for $6.99 and I really should have gone back and stocked up because it is that good.

It has a very thick and creamy consistency, almost silky I guess you could say, so easy to apply and the tub is massive that even if you paid the full price, it is so well worth it because it will last you ages.

There are 3 ways to use it which I think is fantastic:

1) As a straight conditioner after shampooing 2) Hair Mask while in the shower and then massage and wash out and 3) A leave in treatment without washing out - you could put on before bed and put a cap on and sleep with it if you wanted to.

I have done all 3 and they all work really well leaving hair feeling and looking soft, silky, shiny and really healthy. The only thing I'm not fussed about with this one is that the scent is not that strong. It would suit someone that might have a slight sensitivity to fragrance.

Highly recommend using this hair mask as it really does what it says it is supposed to do.
