Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Shampoo

This is a clear shampoo its a thin consistency no squeezing of the bottle is required (at the start of the bottle), as you will just end up using to much. It has a flip type lid that is reasonably easy to open and closes easily too so no wastage. Its has a very strong fragrance when you first apply it really fruity and summer which i really like in a shampoo ans is also a little surprising as I've found that the more natural things get the less fragrance there is. Depending on the length of your hair (mines long) will depend on how much you use 30ml will do my daughters shorter thin hair and i would do that and need to go back again to get all my hair thoroughly covered, which means i would use a little than my regular shampoo. My hair was easy to comb after i washed it silky smooth and once dry it was left with a nice natural shine which i like,and it stayed that way for a good couple of days so i wasn't needing to wash every other day. I could go 3-4 days before it has that greasy feel to my hair but i never seem to get those really dry ends like i normally do. This is on the more expensive side for supermarket shampoo and i really like the results so would purchase this every now and again but not every time. The bottle is a slender rectangle not too high fits in the shower cavities nicely and didn't take up too much space, it has nice pictures and is nice and easy to read and you can find all the info easily.

This is a great shampoo that left my hair light and clean with a light fragrance my hair was a lot more hydrated and i didn't get dry frizzy ends when it was needing washed again.

I would totally recommend this shampoo to anyone who has dry hair and looking for a bit more moisture so that you don't to wash as often to help tame those frizzy ends.

The first thing I like is the packaging! Different from the classic Garnier shampoo/condition slim bottle - it is super cute, reminds me of a juice bottle. The bottle looks and feels like a premium version of the classic Garnier range. The breakdown of ingredients on the back of the bottle is easy peasy to understand, with 96% of natural origin products I found it an interesting read.

As all Garnier products do - it smells yummy. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with Aloe Vera, it was light and refreshing but not overpowering. The texture is jelly-like, I did find a bit more product came out of the bottle than I typically use.

I shampoo my hair twice before conditioner - it lathered nicely in my hair. Once my hair dried it felt nice and soft (maybe due to no silicone?). I didn't see any outstanding or surprising results, it did the job it states.

At a 350ml volume bottle, I would expect it would last me a few weeks. It is on the smaller size, which is good if you are just wanting to try a new product out. The price point of $12.00 (full price at countdown) is more than I wouldn't want to pay for a supermarket brand hair product especially since I grew up using the classic Garnier range which on sale was $3! It is currently on sale for $8.40 which is more realistic in my opinion.

Firstly I want to say that I actually liked this product, it's just not the one for me to use more than every now and then.

The first time that I used the shampoo I was pleasantly surprised, it looked nice - if a little thicker than I was expecting, it smelt pleasant and it lathered up nicely then rinsed out well. My hair didn't feel stringy or stripped when rinsed so I thought I was onto a winner.

Not sure what happened when I used it for the second and third time thou :( All the above re the lather & the rinse were true again but my hair felt completely different, dry and coarse. Not even the conditioner could get it back to how it felt the first time I used it.

The only think that I can think of is that I had product build up in my hair the first time which the shampoo removed and the second time it just dried out my hair? I don't really know.

I'll definitely keep it in the rotation and maybe use once every couple weeks when my hair needs a break.

I loved the size of the bottles and shape but they do somewhat resemble smoothie bottles ,not so good to have around young children ,I really liked that the bottles were different colours ,as I wear glasses and in the shower find it hard to distinguish between the two products ,so definitely points for that ,fairly clear labelling ,but a bit small print but overall good information about the product , great that bottles can be recycled ,I was pleased to see Garnier thought of the environment . I found the tops quite hard to open having arthritic hands .

The smell was very pleasant ,the shampoo lathered really well , in fact I used too much first time ,,most other natural shampoos don’t feel nice on my hair or Lather well ,this one exceeded my expectations on all levels .,it also rinsed off easily .

My hair did feel nice and soft and shiny ,and not as dry after using the product ,but it wasn’t really suited to my hair type ,left my hair a bit flat and really did not do anything special for it ,no different to others I’ve tried and I’ve tried many for that reason alone I wouldn’t buy it .,and reflective on my ratings .

Garnier doesn’t fail to produce a decent hair product ,just not for me ,however I would definitely try the volume one which I missed out on getting .

This stuff was fun to look at and sniff. It’s one of those products you stand reading in the shower (I know we all do it!) BUT … it really coats your hair! I usually wash my hair every 3 days. I started using this 3 days ago and I have had to wash everyday due to it making my hair feel greasy/ almost not drying properly after shower. The benefits are the natural packaging natural ingredients etc but I wouldn’t purchase again as it leaves your hair oily and flat which is not particularly desirable. Or it might be for some ?!

First of all, I love that this uses less plastic and is 100% recyclable (just remove the cap). For years I’ve worried about plastic waste and I’m glad the big brands are trying to do something about it. In terms of the product itself, I wasn’t blown away by the formulation but I wasn’t disappointed either. Just a good, no frills shampoo. The smell is lovely though and lasts in your hair all day. If you’re looking for an affordable but natural and environmentally conscious shampoo, give this a go.

I have been wary of using 'natural' products after a few friends have had skin reactions to them. I also find that sometimes they do not feel as nice or work as well as the usual products. However, I have really really enjoyed using this shampoo. It lathers well, cleanses my hair without stripping it dry with a faint pleasant scent. The bottle squirted the perfect amount of shampoo each time I used it. I also get the added satisfaction of knowing that part of the packaging was made with recycled plastic and it is also recyclable. I will definitely try other lines in this range in the future.

I hadn't used Garnier in a hot minute as ive been trying out more natural products so when i got offered to review this i put my hand up.

The packaging is simple, easy to read and biodegradable!

Im glad it smells yummy and not like aloe vera!

This cleaned my hair nicely. i only apply on the roots and am pleased it hasn't made my dandruff worse. I leave on for a few minutes and the roots don't feel oily at all! i really like this shampoo
