Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo and Conditioner

Thank you so much for inviting me to be on this trial, I've thoroughly enjoyed trialing this duo. I'm so glad that they brought out a shampoo and conditioner to compliment the mask in this range.

I have issues opening the shampoo bottle lid but not the conditioner which is strange but once you open it (I had to use a towel to grip on with) it comes out easily. The conditioner is alot thicker than the shampoo so does take a little bit to get it to come out but no major.

The smell is so good - like banofee pie or banana cake- yum. This set really should come with a warning because you just want to devour it. My hair smells like banana for so long after using both the shampoo and conditioner.

They compliment each other well - with the shampoo getting in there giving a good clean and the conditioner leaving your hair soft and hydrated.

I love this duo and would definitely purchase this in the near future. Maybe try out the other ones in the range too.

Thanks again Beauty Review x

This shampoo and condition is going to be my new go to. I am so impressed, especially considering this is a supermarket brand! First off, the smell is amazing! I was a bit worried when I saw I was receiving the banana one, because sometimes banana scented stuff really stinks. This scent, is not over powering and isn’t your typically banana scent….it’s more like a banana perfume vibe, if that makes sense. And I have revived so many compliments on my hair smelling nice! I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to shampoo and conditioner…I’m not expecting miracles. I just don’t want a big frizzy Afro once my hair has dried. I have curly hair, so I can go from beautiful curls to Diana Ross frizz in a matter of seconds. For the sake of this trial, I was my hair 4 times. I normally only wash once a week. I let my hair air dry, and guess what…..no Diana Ross frizz! My curls were actually more defined, super soft and look so shiny! I also received many compliments on my hair after the first wash. I was so confident with the shampoo and conditioner, I even washed my hair one morning before work….I never do this! I can confidently say I absolutely love this set. I am definitely repurchasing. My hair looks and smells amazing, and is feeling very soft. It is definitely a must if you have curly, dry hair. You will be impressed. I’m now going to go out and get the hair mask and see how that goes all together!

These products come in two small sized bottles handy for keeping in the shower Both the shampoo and conditioner had amazing tropical fragrances which instantly make you want to use them. There are real ingredients in the products. After using the shampoo and conditioner together my hair was in much better condition and it smelt great. I would buy these products again.

I was very lucky to be selected to trial the banana set of shampoo and conditioner, firstly because I love banana scented products and they are hard to find and secondly because these products are for dry hair and my hair and scalp became so dry in the winter(mainly from dry air inside due to heating), so this set was a perfect match for me. Aesthetically I really like the packaging of all hair food products, I find them cute and the shape of the bottles are nice and sleek, user friendly, easy to open and disperse. I also like the turn garnier took with creating more environmentally friendly packaging, as these are made of 50% recycled plastic, plus the bottles are 100% recyclable. Their ingredients became really good, more natural and silicone-free, even though I’m not against silicones in hair products at all, but it still gives a more affordable option for people who follow the curly girl method(no silicones allowed for that). I like the bar they set for supermarket brands, we can expect a surge in better quality, yet affordable prices in the future and it is great for our hair and our wallets! I absolutely loved the shampoo of this range, however the conditioner couldn’t deal with my heat-damaged, coloured hair, but luckily they have hair masks that are more heavy duty and I can just use the conditioner for my scalp only and the deep treatment mask on the lengths of my hair. It is also possible that as soon as winter is over and the heating won’t mess up the moisture balance in my hair that the conditioner will suffice to hydrate my lengths too, will have to wait and see.

If you've used and loved the Banana Hair Food mask you'll love this pair too - they're deliciously fragranced and work well together to leave hair clean and nourished.

I LOVE the packaging - they look like milk bottles, they scream natural and are recyclable.

This shampoo is thick and foams well. I like a sudsy shampoo so it's an enjoyable experience in the shower. The fragrance fills the shower!

My hair was easy to comb immediately after use, and felt clean and soft.

The conditioner is quite runny which I found unusual, but it still did the job. My hair felt nourished and supple after use.

A fantastic supermarket buy!

This shampoo and conditioner set is great, the smell is like banana fruit bursts. They are both vegan and silicone free which is a huge plus! The containers are a good size (small enough for travel) and you just squeeze the bottle to get the product out rather than a pump, so there's no wastage. The containers are also a very cute design, almost like smoothie bottles.

The shampoo foams up nicely and removes scalp build-up well. The conditioner texture is thick and slippery enough that it coats the hair nicely for detangling and is easy to get out of the bottle. I have dry hair and I use the Garnier hair food once in a while to deep condition, whereas this conditioner is great for use every wash day. I've also tested it out as a leave in conditioner - I have wavy hair and when it gets a bit flat or out of shape I wet it with my hands and smooth in a small amount of conditioner. This works great for that purpose as it's quite lightweight.

Garnier is usually quite affordable so I would definitely recommend both of these products if you see them at the supermarket.

Packaging is nice I like the big tops so it can be set on a shelf upside down easily and the fact the conditioner is in a different coloured bottle so for use who need glasses no squinting in the shower and trying to grab the right bottle. The shampoo foams up nicely and cleans my hair without stripping it and the follow on with the conditioner is a perfect match. I’d say for a nourishing duo these are definitely worth a try especially with the price. It’s a nice set and such a reasonable price

A big fan of the fruity Garnier Fructis Hair Food  3-in-1 hair masks, I was excited to try a shampoo and conditioner from the same range.

My hair is thick, past my shoulders and I have dry lengths while my scalp gets greasy if I don't wash my hair every second day. Nourishing products for dry hair are what I need, however one to leave Banana Fruit Bursts in the packet I was initially disappointed to find that the products I needed were banana flavour. Fear not - turns out the smell of these products is "tropical fruity" rather than "chemical banana".

The smell and texture of both the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo and Conditioner are great. Not tested on animals and both vegan formulas, the shampoo is marked as of 96% natural origin and the conditioner of 98% natural origin which acknowledges these products are not perfectly natural but super close. The bottles look like they might contain a juice or smoothie. They're recyclable and have been made with 50% recycled plastic, however I find the flip caps a bit difficult to open with wet hands in the shower - it seems like the caps aren't quite tall enough.

I need to use these two products for much longer to understand the long-term benefits, but they work well together and my hair looks clean and nourished. I certainly like what I've seen over a 10 day trial period. 

On receipt of the products I was a little amused as they looked as though they should be drunk. Unimpressive packaging belied the quality of the product. Not something you would put on display. The shampoo created an excellent lather and was easy enough to wash out. The conditioner left my hair feeling beautifully soft and silky. The only downside was the fragrance was a strong and rather pungent banana. However this was only whilst using the products and the fragrance fortunately did not linger. Great product but fragrance a bit strong,

Thanks BR for the opportunity to be part of this trial team.

The shampoo and conditioner duo are a cute pair of bottles - the clear yellow bottle is the shampoo, and the opaque white bottle is the conditioner. I love that you can tell them apart without having to read the labels, especially when you're in the shower with water dripping down your face and you don't have your glasses on!

As I mentioned in the individual reviews, I love the lids. They are easy to open with wet hands, and close with a really satisfying click. I'd be confident using these to travel with knowing they wont open and leak everywhere.

The biggest drawback for me was the scent - neither smelt like banana to me. I guess it is a hard scent to recreate, they still both smelled nice, just didn't make me think of banana.

The instructions are straight forward - the shampoo recommends wash and rinse and follow with conditioner (interestingly doesn't recommend to wash twice), and the conditioner say to massage through and rinse (again, interestingly it doesn't recommend to leave in the usual 5 minutes). Both suggest to end with the treatment which may just take this duo to the next level!

While for me there wasn't a huge wow factor, I really loved how gentle yet effective the shampoo was, and how weightless the conditioner left my hair feeling. I am now off to buy another hair food treatment to trial them as a trio
