Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo and Conditioner

Love the range. Both products go so well together. From the smooth texture of the shampoo to the milky texture of the conditioner. I found my hair nice and clean and nice and bouncy after using both products. It made my hair smell great and looked really clean.

Since shaving my hair off in early 2020 lockdown for a fundraiser, I avoided shampoo's, taking on a C0-wash regime for over 12 months to avoid silicone-laden hair products which clogged my scalp in the past. As a result, my once-volumous, curly hair had become lank, my scalp oily, desperately needing a different approach to hair care. Along came Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shamppon and Conditioner. Disclaimer: I do not like real watermelon. The scent, the texture, the watery sweetness is something I have avoided since childhood. But the claims of the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo and Conditioner along with Garnier Commitments saw me wanting to try both products. The packaging is designed to mimick bottles of juice grabbed out of a cafe fridge, full of fresh goodness. Easy to hold, these stubby 350 ml recyclable bottles (50% recycled) have a non-recyclable green plastic lid, both with a pink watermelon image on the label, the shampoo bottle a soft pink, the conditioner bottle is white. There is a lot going on on the labels. There are also warnings in regards to do not eat and to keep out of reach of young children. Garnier state a Vegan formula, no silicones, dermatologically tested, the shampoo 97% natural origin formula, the conditioner 96%. Between them, these products, for fine hair, claim volume, gently cleansing, boosted moisture, express detangling, fast rinsing, and no weigh down. There is a clear list of ingredients on the back of both, with a breakdown on what is natural origin and what isn't. The shampoo is a clear, water-rich gel with a gentle foam. My hair and scalp instantly felt properly cleansed but not in any way stripped. The conditioner is a white, water-rich cream which absorbs easily, does the job, and rinses off without any residue. Yes both products smell of watermelon. Am I bothered? I am not bothered. It is not overpowering, and heck, I might even grow to like that sweet, summery scent. Post use. Hair feels soft, healthy, with a lovely bounce, not weighed down at all. My curls have revived with moisture, with a soft coil, and there is a more natural, healthy 'lift' to my hair. I love touching my hair again, and I no longer feel what is growing out of my head is someone else's hair. Did I mention how soft my hair feels? I love there are no silicone or parabens in this product. Despite the scent of watermelon lingering post use, I am a definite convert to this new hair on my head thanks to these products so will be reaching for these on the supermarket fridge, I mean, shelf, again.

I recently tried out the shampoo along with the conditioner. Over all they were great. They smelt good and did what they said they would. I found my hair to have more volume afterwards and it felt so fresh. I would recommend.

These hair products really are a treat. I love that the bottles are easily distinguishable from each other and that they have nice study flip tops. The perfume is fresh and pleasant. The shampoo is gentle and the conditioner is easy to rinse out and not gluey. My fine hair feels lovely, manageable, soft and definitely feels as it has more volume. These products are good value, tick the “natural” box and for fine hair a definitely must-buy.

I love the packaging and the products smell incredible. I really enjoyed using the products. I didn’t notice a massive overall difference in the volume of my hair but the products worked really well together and left my hair feeling nice and clean.

First off I really enjoyed the smell of watermelon, this just leaves your hair smelling so fresh and devine!!

I have very thin hair which dries very easily and normally anything with too much moisture in it results in my hair become flat and greasy. However the Garnier Fructis watermelon shampoo and Conditioner gave me wonderful texture and volume while still giving me softness and shine. It really is the perfect balance of moisture and volumising.

I love that Garnier is using more natural products in their shampoo/conditioners and love that it's vegan too!

Pros: - Amazing smell, kept my hair feeling fresh and clean for days -Gives my hair the ability to be more bouncy and have life, without being heavy or full of product -Helped reduce my oily roots in between washes

Cons: -None, I love this range!!!

I was lucky to be picked for this trial and was due for a new shampoo and conditioner. My past experience with volumising shampoos and conditioner has been that they tend to dry my fine hair out. Which makes my hair feel dry and strawlike.This one however promised to give my hair volume, movement and bounce. I was hoping that shampoo technologists (is that a thing?), had created formulas that did all this stuff AND nourished fine hair. I guess not. This duo smells great and cleanses and detangles, but my hair was stiffer (not bouncier or movey-er). I love the pink packaging, recylable and recycled. Win-win, it's nice to see a company doing this. The shampoo and conditioner were of standard consistency with the conditioner being white and the shampoo being clear. I did like the fact that I didn't need to wash my hair every day, but that was about it. I wouldn't purchase. Now, it those hair technologists can just get on with making the volumising shampoo and conditioner of my dreams (see above), that would be dandy.

I love this range! Its so easy to be a skeptic when you see a product that says it will be good for your hair with no nasties, will nourish but not overload hair and weigh it down...and then, they are looking out for our environment! I used the products (3 times so far) and have had awesome results! My hair really does seem to have new shine, is weightless and looking pretty darn good at the moment. You will see that all 3 of my previous reviews comment on the fragrance, I really don't like it. One good thing is it doesn't seem to linger on my hair once dried - if it did then I wouldn't use it. All in all, yes, I will definitely buy this range in the future. I hope to see a range of fragrances to make this a 10 out of 10 range!

I bought these with my review points from the beauty vault. I've noticed they are frequently sold out in the stores I've visited recently such as countdown band the warehouse. People have enjoyed the Garnier hair food line so when the new watermelon flavour came out obviously people wanted to try it. That and or the scent of watermelon is supper appealing. If you have not smelled any of the Garnier hair food line your missing out. I notice this smells like watermelon candy and in the shower while layering the shampoo I smelt something herbal I think it's lemon grass some kind of citrus is there looming in with the watermelon. Love the natural based products of this line and I have been using their conditioner treatments in the round tub for well over a year and I have many reasons why. The main one is I don't like using silicone & diamenthicone conditioners - I've mentioned reasons why and more about what diamenthicone and silicone does in many of my previous reviews. Sure I'll use them every once in a while but my frequently used conditioners are silicone diamenthicone free. I mix them with my temporary hair dyes too. I have tried all the Garnier hair food types now and so far I think my favourite scent is the Aloe Vera because of the scent but in the past I've loved Banana too. I enjoy having a stash of the different types and alternate them each wash and or hair colour. I enjoy the watermelon scent but it doesn't linger as much in my hair like the others and seems very youthful. I like that it cleans my hair quite well but did not notice volume differences but hair didn't feel weighed down, was soft and clean and a little goes a long way with the shampoos. I will keep buying this line depending on which scent I want.

I have used this duo for at least 5 days now.

I have fine, thin, flat, smooth silky hair naturally.

Packaging - very colourful, eye catching and appealing, great that it is recyclable too.It is great that this product is vegan and has all natural ingredients. Love the smell too!

Volumising - Definitely, my hair had a bit of bounce and looked volumised after airdrying it. The bounce looked natural and it looked really good ( I have lived with flat hair, so I really appreciated the volume)

Detangles? No. My hair felt very cleansed, did not feel dry, but when I touch my hair, it did not feel smooth, detangled or silky. My comb did not easily glide.

I would not purchase this duo just because to completely work for my hair, I will need to use the mask also and I just don’t have time to use all 3 products as part of my hair care routine.
