Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Review

This is the first of the hair food range that I've tried and I love it so much that I'm not sure I'll bother trying the others. I have fine, high porosity curly hair and this product is like the magic all-in-one, holy grail product. It's a great conditioner. It's perfect as a leave-in styler. It's a great mask. It works beautifully to refresh dry hair in between wash days. It really does it all! Oh - and it smells divine too! And it's budget-friendly (I grabbed my pot at the Warehouse for $12). I think that about covers it?! I would not hesitate to purchase again and am currently raving about it to my friends. This product is an honest-to-goodness all-rounder.

These hair masks are amazing. The papaya smells so sweet and tropical and the tub is HUGE.

I have coloured/dry hair and the Papaya hair mask really hydrates and puts some shine back into my hair. I love using it as a conditioning treatment after shampooing, and I also put a small amount on my ends after towel drying my hair.

My hair is always left smooth and healthy feeling. It's not a heavy or oily product, so even on my find hair I don't get that oily feeling or look.

I've bought all the 'flavours'. Love them all, but Papaya is definitely the best for my stressed hair!

I love the hair food range! I have tried the goji and banana which were both amazing so it was time to try papaya. Just the macadamia left to try.

I love the big tub it comes in, so easy to scoop out the right amount of product. This smells amazing! Very tropical, so fruity and sweet and I love getting wafts of it throughout the day. It is so gorgeous and thick and feels luxurious to use.

I use this in place of my conditioner, I like to slather it all over my hair then let it sit as I go about my shower. It washes out easily and leaves my hair tangle free and smelling devine.

Once dry my hair feels super soft and hydrated. I get less frizz and it does not feel weighed down at all. I highly recommend the hair food range, I have not been disappointed by any of them, one more to try then I shall pick my favourite.

I have long hair so naturally the ends are damaged and since I loved the banana hair food mask in the same range I decided to try repairing Papaya.

The jar is a very descent size of 390mls. It's easy to use by twisting of the lid and scoping  the desired amount out. The formula is the same as the banana, thick & creamy. The Papaya smell amazing very tropical and fruity without being too over powering or artificial. It's seriously delicious and the smell lasts for days on my hair. The hair food can also be used as either a hair mask, conditioner or leave in treatment. I tend to use the Papaya more as a mask then a conditioner and I haven't tried using it as a leave in treatment yet.

While it smells nice it didn't repair my damaged ends or make it feel stronger but it did leave my hair soft and manageable without making it greasy so it is nice to use. I will continue to use the tub up but will stick with the banana in the future.

I fell in love with the sound of this product reading through all the reviews. With all the different flavours I ended up buying 3 different ones to try them out.

I have long hair with lightened ends so the length is quite dry. I’ve struggled to find a nourishing conditioner that treats my ends without making my hair dull and lank. I love the versatility of this product - a conditioner, a mask and a leave-in treatment.

This was by far my favourite scented one. It has a fresh, fruity, holiday scent that makes me feel like I'm lying on a beach somewhere.

I tried this product the 3 different way (conditioner, mask and leave-in treatment). After a bit of trial and error, I found the perfect balance. This one is more intensive than the Macadamia one (my favourite), so I only use this as a treatment if my hair has had a particularly tough week. I found if I used it unnecessarily it made my hair dank and oily and just looked like it needed a good wash. This was perfect after a beach holiday to restore moisture and softness to my ends.

I am such a follower! I read and got caught up in all the hype about this hair food that I had to get some for myself. Boy, am I glad I did. This is the most gorgeous smelling hair product I have used for ages. My shower smells like a tropical fruit bowl, and so does my hair. I colour my hair frequently and so using this is so good for keeping my hair in great condition. I use this as a regular conditioner, every 3 or 4 washes and then once every two weeks I use it as a mask. My hair is so soft and shiny and looks healthy.

I find this awesome value for money, such a huge pot which lasts an age and such a great price. I have to say I have never paid the full retail price for this as it is quite often on special.

I had serious doubts about this - how could something so cheap be getting such rave reviews?

My hair is probably a good test for any conditioner - long, the colour is completely fake (naturally grey, dyed every 203 weeks with very specific dyes as i'm allergic to PPD, heat styled daily, has to constantly put up with airplanes, hotel heating/cooling and all the rest of it). This conditioner makes short work of it!

I use this 2-3x a week, and I always double condition anyway, but this can stand alone if it needs to. I tend to use it as a mask - work through hair, leave for a few mins, and wash out. My hair is currently silky and smooth - healthier and prettier than it's been in years. Adding in this product is the only real difference I've made.

This has come with me all around NZ, and to Fiji so far. I have a dedicated wee container to pop it in for travel though - I really wish they made this in sachet form for that purpose!

The huge tub is such good value, and this goes a really long way. The price is cheap, but I've bought two of these on serious special for around the $7 mark which is even better. The scent is 'just papaya-y enough' detectable and pleasant without being too much.

I'm converted, I'll be using this for a long while yet!

I got this for half price at coundown amd i thought its a good price. I lile how generous the soze of the pot is.

I opend it and fell in love with the smell. Its a in your face sweet fruity smell. Its a thick light orange paste. I took a handfull and juat rubed it into my hair and it went al over my hair so a little goes a long way. My hair smeld like fruit the entire day. When i rinsed it of my hair was just so soft and shiny. Tbis is the best hair mask i have ever tried. I went back to get the other flavours

Omg this is one of the best drugstore hair masks Leaves your hair soft and shiny ; great value for money Highly recommended
