Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo and Conditioner

I love the cute little bottles the shampoo and conditioner come in. It's quite unusual and helps it stand out from other products. When my husband first saw them he thought I had bought fancy juices, I can see where he was coming from but I still like the way they look lol.

They both had the same scent, as you'd expect. A subtle fruity watermelon fragrance, smells so yummy.

The thing I found most impressive about the products was that they didn't give me dandruff. I have a dry, sensitive scalp, so I have to be very particular about which shampoos and conditioners I use. But I'm pleased to report that the Garnier Watermelon Hair Food products passed that test. This is surprising considering the shampoo contains sulfate, which would normally cause me to avoid it, but it wasn't a problem at all.

They were both easy to apply, lather up and rinse off. Left my hair feeling nice and smooth and clean, as you'd expect.

My hair is fine and naturally has very little volume so I was hopeful that this range could help me with that. While it didn't seem to weigh my hair down, it also didn't seem to give me more volume than other shampoos and conditioners. My hair is usually resistant to products that claim to be volumising, so I think a lot of the fault might lie within my stubborn flat hair.

Overall I do really like the products. I received them in exchange for a review so I didn't pay anything. I looked them up after using them and I was surprised to see they go for $11 to $12 each, considering their small size and the products don't seem extraordinary. To be honest, I'm not really sure if it is worth the price. There are cheaper products that I am just as happy with. So unfortunately I don't think I'm likely to buy more of these unless there's a really good sale.

Garnier Fructis Volumising Shampoo and Conditioner smell good enough to eat. They come in easy-to-use compact bottles with fun bright labels. The packaging is made from 50% recycled plastic and is recyclable. As a regime, this duo is quick and easy to use. You don't have to leave the conditioner in for ages for it to work and both products rinse out cleanly. These products left my hair very soft and bouncy and smelling of juicy Watermelon.

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.

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.

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 trialed this product for a week, and my 10 year old daughter also used it. We both have fine hair, but while hers is healthy and wavy, mine is coloured, greying and probably not as healthy. Overall, these products worked for her but not for me.

My hair was left detangled, and clean, but lacking in volume or shine. I had more frizz with the baby hairs on top of my head, which was not ideal as the rest of my hair stayed flat. My daughters hair was soft, detangled and had more volume than usual (not that she cares about that as a 10 year old!! But might help someone else knowing how it worked).

I liked that the bottles are very easy to tell apart - the shampoo is pink and the conditioner is white, so no squinting at tiny print in the shower to figure out which is which. I love the smell, and how easy it is to rinse both products out.

I am not sure of the price, but if it is reasonable I would repurchase these both again for the kids. I would be keen to try the other 'flavours' out to see if one suits my hair, as the products themselves were nice to use, just didn't suit my hair.

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.

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.

The shampoo and conditioner came in a bottle which reminded me somehow of those yogurt drink bottles, especially the conditioner bottle due to its white bottle. It’s going to take me a while to get use to it’s rather unique packaging. I loved how it had those warning labels for young kids who might somehow mistaken them for food or drinks.

Anyways, i fell in love with its green click clack lid. It was sturdy, and strong, but easy to use. It’s fun to open and clicks back firmly into place so easily without leaving a mess.

The pair is very lightly scented so the hair comes out smelling natural without a strong scent.

The shampoo cleanses my hair well and conditioner smoothes and softens my hair. The shampoo and conditioner doesn’t weigh down my hair, but leaves my hair light, soft and smooth after drying to keep me and my hair happy.

Overall, i think it could do better with the volumising, but as a hair set i very much enjoyed it, and looking forward to trying others in this Garnier series. Next on my list would probably be the Aloe.

I liked these because they didn't make my hair frizzy, and made my curls more defined. They also didn't weigh my hair down, which a lot of shampoos and conditioners do, especially ones that add moisture. The fragrance is just so strong that it's a little hard to get past, but if you can, then it's a really good combination.
