Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Conditioner

The conditioner smells soooo good. It smells even more delicious than the shampoo!

The formula was quite runny so sometimes when I wasn’t paying attention, too much would come out and I’d have to scrape it back in.

I felt that the conditioner weighed down my hair a bit. When I was blow drying my hair it also made it frizzier and puffy which I didn’t like I also had more static in my hair which I didn’t like

This conditioner smells even more amazing than the shampoo. It claims to detangle, repair and be fast rinsing. This conditioner is a white coloured liquid- I say liquid because it is rather watery- so be careful when using as you don’t have to squeeze much at all for a lot to come out. I would prefer it a bit thicker as I don’t like it dripping off my hands as it is wasteful. After rinsing out very quickly my hair was left easy to comb through afterwards. It felt soft and conditioned and when left to dry naturally it still appears soft and smooth.

I really liked how this conditioner made my hair feel after using it but I felt I used a lot more than I normally would because it was quite watery and thats why it lost a point for if I’d use it again or recommend to a friend.

While I really enjoyed the packaging and scent of this conditioner I didn’t find it helped much with my dry ends or do anything for the damage. It does de tangle my ends but I actually prefer to use the original tub (mask) as a conditioner . I will use this again because I do think it’s good value and I love the fragrance but for my dry ends I need something a little bit more nourishing. This is a great option for those that have fine hair though as it doesn’t weigh it down at all.

Oh Garnier. You have struck gold with the hair food range!

1. The packaging. It looks amazing - like little juice or milk bottles. The conditioner is white easy to tell apart from the shampoo's orange bottle. Very sturdy lids, so would be good for trips away. Lots of information.

2. The smell. PAPA-YES!!! It is strong, it last long. It makes you hungry. What more could you want from a conditioner flavour?

3. Cost. I had a quick google and these seem to be around the 11$ mark - very reasonable.

4. Economical? I use thrice the conditioner to shampoo, so I'm going to need to replace this much sooner than the shampoo.

5. The results. WOWZA. My bleached ends felt hydrated and less brittle than before use. My hair was very soft and shiny but not fluffy or weighed down.

All up its about the best supermarket conditioner I've tried.

Picked up in the vault. Matching cute milk bottle look packaging to the shampoo. Fits easily in my small shower caddy. Smells wonderful. Quite a liquidy formula, not like traditional, thick like conditioners.Quite a good conditioner but not as hydrating as I need for my wavy, thick hair.

It's a nice product but just not enough for my hair. I will finish this up but won't be repurchasing. Plan to try some other products in the range instead.

I picked this up in the Beauty Vault, thanks BR. I love the hair food mask range so was very excited when they bought out the shampoo and conditioner range.  Of course I made it my mission to try them all!   I love the cute packaging which resembles a smoothie bottle. The conditioner is nice and thick and smells so good! Good enough to eat but it specifically says on the bottle to not do that lmao. I like to use a big dollop on my hair and slather it all over, I let it sit while I go about my shower.

It washes out easily and I get no colour washout with this. It makes my hair feel so soft and hydrated. It looks super smooth with considerably less frizz. I used this with the matching shampoo and I think they work great together.  I will definitely purchase this again.

I used this 4 times over 10 days, and really wanted to like this conditioner. Sadly, I didn't find it to be as moisturising as I need my conditioner to be. The consistency doesn't really allow you to layer up the conditioner either.

I really love this conditioner for a number of reasons.

Firstly, the conditioner goes really far as it's quite light and milky. You should be able to get approximately 35 uses out of a bottle - so long as you don't spill it!

Secondly, it smells amazing. I can't go past a good smelling hair product - it really makes my morning.

I was a bit perplexed by the 'fast rinse' claim on the bottle - but it really does rinse out very fast. I didn't know this was what I needed in my life. There is nothing worse than hopping out of the shower to notice you've still got conditioner on the back of your neck!

Finally and most importantly, I noticed the results instantly. After the first use my hair was noticeably softer and healthier looking. What more could a girl want?! This will definitely be my new go-to conditioner.

So first of all I have been using the tubs of hair food for a long time now and know that silicone and diamenthicone in conditioners prevents hair from absorbing hair dyes and just hides damage doesn't hydrate or repair hair and builds up in the hair. I also know that it is what makes conditioners feel silky and smooth on wet hair. I knew not to expect the silky feeling in this conditioner being silicone free and I knew I could mix some with my temporary hair colour to help it absorb into my hair and treat it. My hair feels soft and smelt amazing. If you have never used a silicone free conditioner before you will think you need more product when you use it and might think your hair looks bad after use. In truth you need to give it time. Your regular conditioners build up in your hair - silicones and diamenthicones don't fully wash out - a clarifying shampoo will help remove the build up. Once your hair is free if the coating only then will your hair start to absorb the benefits in this product and with long term use your hair will become more healthy. I can't wait to try the watermelon variety. My only gripe with this is it seemed like a watered down version of the tub hair food product so I might as well just use the tub of hair food. - Will be buying the watermelon one to try regaurdless. Yes I will re purchase because silicone free conditioners are my thing.
