Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon

Let's start with the fact that the pot is HUGE, and a little goes a long way so it will definitely last a while.

It was clearly stated on the pot how to use the product - either as a conditioner, leave in conditioner or a hair mask, so naturally I had to try all three!!

The product smells so good, you almost want to eat it, and the scent lingers in your hair for the rest of the day. The pot states that the ingredients are 97% naturally derived which is great as you know you won't have any unwelcome chemicals damaging your hair.

The texture felt thick and luscious and left my hair feeling strong, silky and smooth. I have quite fine hair that tangles quite easily and after using this product as a mask, I found it easy to brush through and get rid of any tangles which is a godsend for me!

My hair felt softer but more voluminous after use and that, combined with the gorgeous smell means I would definitely recommend this product!

Garnier Fructis Watermelon Hair Food comes in a tub with a fun bright watermelon design on the label. I tried using this product as a mask and a conditioner. I also trialled it as a leave-in conditioner. For my hair, there seemed to be no difference between using it as a mask and a conditioner. My hair was left feeling really soft and bouncy. When I used it as a leave-in treatment it wasn't effective in my hair. This Hair food is supposed to be volumising and as a leave-in treatment, it did not work. This product worked well as a Mask or Conditioner and left my hair smelling sweet like Watermelon. I found the design of the tub rather cumbersome. It is quite large and awkward to unscrew the top with wet hands. You need to be able to set it down out of the water to get the lid back on or it will end up full of water.

I trialed this product in exchange for a review, it was my first time ever using hair food. I think having a multipurpose product like this is really handy. I just know one day I'll realize I'm out of conditioner and will be grateful to use hair food until my next shop. Or I'll unexpectedly have to go out somewhere and if my hair isn't up to par, I can use hair food to quickly and easily get it looking decent.

It has a nice fruity scent that isn't overpowering, matching the coordinating shampoo and conditioner. It has a very creamy texture, reminded me of a thick day cream, but it's very easy to spread on hair. When using it as a leave in treatment I found that a little went a long way, and given the large size of the tub, I think this makes the product quite economical, even with my long hair. A downside of the large tub size is that it's awkward to use in the shower and it was too bulky to fit anywhere.

I preferred using it as a leave in treatment. When using it on dry hair I worried that it would leave my hair looking stringy or leave a residue, but it was quickly absorbed and I was pleased with the result. My dry split ends did seem noticeably shinierand smoother, though I can't say I noticed any extra volume. My fine hair is typically flat and volumising products don't ever really work for me, so I wasn't too surprised that despite it's claims, the hair food was no different.

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

Packaging- very colourful and appealing, but the lid isn’t that secure, it was so easy to open, I fear that if I drop this accidentally it will just open up and spill the product.

Fragrance - very refreshing , and not overpowering, even if after I washed this, the watermelon smell stays which I really love!

I have used this all 3 ways but mostly as a conditioner and a leave in conditioner. I wash my hair at night, and then in the morning I just used this as leave-in conditioner.

Texture- creamy similar to yoghurt consistency , a little goes a long way. Volume -I usually leave my hair to airdry. My hair definitely has more bounce and volume

After use, this made my hair feel and looked so smooth, detangled, so easy to comb. It also looked healthy/ nourished and just felt that my hair indeed had ‘hair food’.

I will continue to use this product and will re-purchase. So far the best conditioner I have used.

I am in love with this hair mask. It smells like watermelon Hubba Bubba in the best way, so delicious. I have quite fine, bleached hair and this left it feeling so soft and silky – could NOT stop touching it. I don't know if it really added all that much volume, but it certainly didn't weigh my hair down at all. I really love that this line is all cruelty-free as well, so great to see so many brands making this a priority. Will 100% re-purchase!

I was lucky enough to trail this Garnier hair mask. The product has a strong fruity smell which was pleasant. I applied to wet hair and left in for 5 minutes and then rinsed out. My hair felt nourished and clean after using this. It didn’t leave my hair feeling heavy either. My hair had a mild watermelon scent afterwards which was nice. I would recommend this product.

This delicious watermelon smelling hair mask helped my hair get its natural waviness back! I love this mask as my hair looked and felt great after using it. It comes in a 390ml tub which is great to just grab a dollop out, is vegan, doesn't contain silicons or parabens and is cruelty free. It can be used 3 ways - as a conditioner, leave in longer as a mask or just leave it on and style as normal. I used it as a leave-in and applied to my damp hair then lightly dried it off. Previously my fine hair had been looking a bit lank so I was overjoyed to get some volume and my natural waviness back. I will definitely be buying more of this when I have used it up!

I was lucky to be selected to trial this product. I love a multi tasker and a big, fat tub of this watermelon smelling conditioner can be used three ways. As a regular conditioner, as a deep conditioner and on dry hair as a treatment. Of thick consistency and white in colour, I quite liked this product. I tried it the three ways suggested and found it best on my hair as a deep conditioner. While it didn't act like a typical deep conditioner, I did feel that it nourished my hair better than a typical supermarket condtioner.

I tried this mask after the shampoo and another time after using conditioner too. Honestly, I didn't notice a huge difference between using it lone with shampoo or alongside conditioner too. As stated in a previous review on the shampoo. I loved the packaging and that it would deliver a deep treatment without weighing my hair down. Boy has it delivered! I left it on for about 5 mins before rinsing. My hair didn't seem overly ndifferent when first brushing but was completely different as my hair dryed and over the next couple of days. I noticed my hair was softer and not weighed down at all! Will definitely use this again!

Love the bright colors on the packaging, makes you definitely want to see what the product is all about. It definitely draws your attention. I love how you can use this in 3 different ways either as a mask, tips for your hair or leave in. To be honest I have only tried 2 ways with this. The head mask felt quit good and made my hair feeling so good afterwards, it detangled my hair and made it feel silky and clean. The other way I used it was just leaving it in the tips of my hair and rinsing it out. This way was just as good making my hair nice a silky and easy to brush.
