Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Review

After reading all the fantastic reviews I decided to add this one to my stash . I got this one along with the Goji berry one.My hair is thick and dry especially on the ends .

Packaging comes in a large sized pot . Labelling is bright and reminiscent of the fruit . Consistency is thick and creamy . This scent reminds me of freshly sliced papayas. It takes me on a tropical journey with this sweet explosion of summery fruits. I like to grab a table spoon of it .I brush it through my thick hair . It melts in easily . I like to leave it in for a few hours . The longest ever was a 9 hour shift . I know naughty . But when I got home and rinsed it out my hair was soft and hydrated. My hair smelled wonderful. I like to use it as my leave in conditioner . I don’t have hair drying time in the morning. This saves my hair from having a damp smell.

So far my tub has lasted me over a month with daily usage . Sometimes I reduce to every second to third day . It’s priced fairly . When I see it on special I buy it . I’ll keep buying this one.

This is a great product which has multiple uses. It can be used as a conditioner, a mask or a leave in treatment. I always use it as a mask. It leaves my frizzy hair smooth and shiny and smells divine. Great value product.

Got really good deal two for one. Smells nice but not sure there is any noticeable difference - I’ve got very thick hair and apart from making it slightly greasy didn’t seem to be any significant benefit? I also found the very large container quite unwieldy and hard to handle with slippery hands

I bought this a while ago, used it for a few months, and this did nothing, all it did was smell good, my hair didn't change. And that's because your hair is a) genetic and b) related to your diet, so you can't change it from the outside. Using this after showering in damp hair didn't do anything but weigh my hair down and make it look limp and look like it had less volume. Would not recommend or purchase again.

I got this about 4 months ago and used it once a week for a few months and noticed no changes other than a lovely smell. I found this to make my hair feel a little flat and greasy but maybe thats just me? It is very cheap which is great and I am sure for some people work. I think this was a flop as my hair is very thick maybe?

I was never really a garnier fan until I found this beauty! It was heavily discounted at my local Countdown (around $6) so I decided to buy it. And my gosh I am so glad I did! I’m actually disappointed that I didn’t grab a few more. I use this as a conditioner, hair mask and also as a styling product. My favourite is the leave in hair mask! Not only does it make my hair smell delicious (seriously good enough to eat) but leaving it in overnight, I always wake up with gorgeous wavy hair that (believe it or not) doesn’t need to be brushed! It seriously blows me away at how amazing this product is with my hair! After every use my hair always looks vibrant and fresh and gorgeously wavy. I’m not sure what kind of sourcery this is but I am 100% here for it! I can’t wait to try the other scents!!

Firstly, this smells amazing - sweet and tropical. I prefer this scent over the banana scent, however both products work mainly the same. I found this product nourished my hair for a few days post using. It made my hair look shiny, more bouncy, and stopped dead ends from being dry. This product is affordable and lasts a very long time. It's definitely worth purchasing and trying if your looking for some deep conditioning, without the hassle of a hair mask.

i love hair masks, and i love these garnier hair masks. they're affordable, are generous with their sizing and they last literally forever because you don't need heaps! and they are nearly always on sale somewhere for half price! what more could you want!!!

i bought papaya not expecting to be wowed, and more to finish my fruit cocktail of hair masks (i already had the banana and goji). me being me i couldn't wait and i mixed all 3 together and used them - heaven. my hair smelled so darn good i wanted to eat it.

by itself though, this mask is great. the smell is fruity but not overpowering. it's enough to make you wanna shake your body while using it and sing the pina colada song. this is a repairing mask so i was interested to see if it was going to help my ends or not, or just help in general.

to be honest i didn't notice it repair anything, but man the hydration! my hair felt salon soft! i applied it as a hair mask to damp hair (i sprayed my hair with a spray bottle), and then i placed all of it in a hot towel for 5 minutes before showering and shampooing it out. i followed with a tiny bit of this down the ends and rinsed. salon soft, i'm telling you!!!

it may not be expensive but man it's impressive. the size, the impact it has, the smell alone... it's just a glorious product. im so glad garnier made these, for real. they're going to be a staple in my cupboard for a long time yet. this is definitely a hype i'm glad i bought into.

After trying the Garnier banana food and loving it I was confident to try this variety and in short it doesn't disappoint me at all. The scent is sweet and intoxicating like the banana but not as heavy though still quite strong. The viscosity is very thick like you would expect a hair mask to be. I like to use this product in several ways. 1. As a hair mask - I like to leave it in longer than a minute. 2. As my normal conditioner after shampooing! 3. As a leave in or smoothing product for fly aways and frizz! The scent lingers and the benefits to me are really worth spending the money to buy a tub of this goodness. I get no product build up from silicones and diamenthicones in regular conditioners, less dry hair, stronger healthier hair over all and doubles as several other separate hair products in the one tub. 1 tub lasts me months. The trick is to get the right ratio for your hair. At first I used too much. Once you allow it to soak into your hair a little goes further than you think. I can find I can get away with cheap shampoo if I'm using the Garnier hair food. The container is recyclable and product is excellent for natural product lovers. Long term - as I have been using it for almost a year now I think - this beats salon products and my hair has never been healthier. I can't wait to try another variety but banana is my favourite.

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