Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera

I was lucky enough to be chosen to review the Aloe Garnier Food Shampoo Bar and the Aloe Hair Food. It was the first time I had tried a shampoo bar, nice size and fits in your hand perfectly, I found that it lathers up thick and quite creamy so you don't need to use a lot. It's quite soft so finding a place to put it could be a problem as my shower is above my soap dish and it would literally just melt away quite quickly. I ended up taking it out of shower and leaving it to dry and then put it in small container. After shampooing I used the Aloe hair food to condition my hair. Great smell and I like the tub packaging, it can just be left on shower floor. I also like that you can just scoop the amount out you need and apply as needed. Blow dried my hair as normal and it looked great, hair was clean and soft but seemed to lack lustre. That evening my hair was quite lank looking and by the morning looked a little greasy and that it needed another wash, I only ever wash my hair twice maybe three times a week so was a little disappointed that it looked the way it did.

unfortunately aloe vera hair food was my least favorite out of all of the garnier hair foods. I tried using it as a rinse out and leave in and it left my curly hair very frizzy afterward. very disappointing, I won't be using again.

I have long coloured wavy hair which is always in need of moisture, so I was stoked to be selected to trial this. I used it in all three ways - as a conditioner, a mask and also as a leave-in. As a mask and leave-in, it left my hair smelling amazing and feeling soft, but sadly, also flat and lifeless.. my hair just felt heavy and had zero volume. It was somewhat better when used as a conditioner, my hair had a little more volume and body but still not fantastic. I think it may be better suited to straight fine hair as it does condition well.
