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 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 .
After a few days of swimming for hours at a time in our hotel's pool, my daughter's hair was full of knots and tangles. Even a tiny dread was forming. And no amount of brushing with my favourite Mita brush was helping.
I recalled seeing good reviews for the Garnier Fructis Hair Food range, so on arriving home I popped out and bought a tub of the Macadamia Hair Food.
The scent is GORGEOUS. By the end of treating her hair with a mask I was hungry. I like the tub format too, although I have to be careful to screw the top on as I can see myself knocking it over and getting it everywhere if I don't.
Her waist-length hair took about two small finger scoops of product for it to be saturated. I left it on for five minutes then ran my Mita brush through the knots. To my surprise they disappeared - like magic. Even the stubborn ones. After rinsing it out her hair was silky smooth and smelt delicious.
There was no screeching, no moaning, no complaining throughout the process, which is unheard of. For $12 on special, and still with loads left, I think this is worth the price, and a must-have for parents or carers whose kids are prone to tangled hair.
Absolutely in love with this hair mask, helped my hair so much to get healthier, it’s hard to believe there’s no silicones in this! I was either using it as a pre shampoo treatment where I basically drenched my hair in this, put a hair cap on and did some housework to leave it in for an hour or just used it instead of my hair conditioner. Both ways have given me amazing results and if I could air dry my hair I’d use this as a leave in conditioner cream too, but at the moment I’m very frizzy, so need to use a hair straightener and I’m not sure how this product would react with heat, but will give it a try when my hair is in better health and can ditch the straightener. I really liked the scent, not overpowering and it’s very delicious, doesn’t stay in the hair though, but still nice to smell it while using it. It’s a huge tub and so affordable that I wasn’t stingy with application, I used lots and I went through the tub rather fast, maybe I will slow down a bit with the other scents I’ve purchased to try next. I’ve had no problems with the packaging, I don’t find it bulky or hard to open and close and I never once dropped the tub in the shower.
Tips: Use as preshampoo treatment with a hair cap on and do some housework while it does its magic!
This is one of the best hair masks I have ever used! It smells so good and leaves my hair smelling beautiful, shiny and bouncy. I have curly hair and this helps with the frizz and dry ends. Love this!
This product has tamed my frizzy curly dry hair. It is CGM friendly and can be used as a co-wash or a leave-in to tame frizz. I am extremely happy with this Garnier product and such a relief knowing I am not putting harsh chemicals on my hair.
Tips: Personally, a coin size of product is not enough as it mentions on the product. I had to use more than a coin size to fix my curls and get the expected result
I love love loveee this for my hair since I've had it cut my curls have come through and this not only helps nourish my hair but also I feel like it helps my curls be more curly and bouncy!
I also always find that if my hair is slightly knotted when I wash it that this will help relax my hair and I'll get out of the shower to completely untangled hair!
I use it all the ways that it says and alternate depending on my hairs needs that wash..
Tips: I have quite a lot of hair and definitely needed more product than what they suggest
Leave it in for longer than suggested- I'll often turn off the shower and either get out and do something or just wait such good results!
If you use it as a leave in conditioner use the smallest amount imaginable! I found it did make my hair look slightly oily when I used too much
I love this hair cream! Smells lovely and comes in a decent size! It’s quite thick cream which is amazing for my curly thick dry hair! But i f you have fine hair i wouldn’t use too much of this cream. A little goes a long way. After i shampoo & condition my hair, i apply this cream a generous amount (because i have curly thick hair) and apply serum to keep the frizz down.
Tips: Apply straight after cleaning your hair.
this is my favorite hair treatment! i have thick long curly hair and it makes my hair so soft and less frizzy! also smells amazing and a really good price !
Tips: leave on for 10 mins!
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
