Perfect for Dry Damaged Hair

This hair mask smells divine - makes me almost want to eat it!

The pot is massive and will no doubt last a long time. I've used the mask every wash and love the thick creamy consistency which I can work through my hair without issue.

I never use hair products sparingly as my hair tends to be on the dry side. This hair mask works wonders and leaves my hair smelling gorgeous, manageable and soft to the touch. I will continue to use the hair mask several times a week as my hair needs it.

I'd highly recommend this hair mask!

Love these hair masks

I've already tried a couple of others they have, and I absolutely love these Garnier hair masks, they make my hair so soft and smell amazing. Highly recommend their entire range!

Tips: I personally put it all over my hair even the scalp

Garnier Fructis Banana Hair Food

I am Garnier fan so was looking forward to trying this product. It comes in a very large bright yellow pot containing a thick white creamy formula. The scent is an overpowering mix of fruity banana. I slathered it onto my hair after using the Garnier Shampoo Bar and massaged in well. The pot is a bit more fiddly to use than a normal flip top bottle, because of the size and screw top. After rinsing and drying, my hair felt soft, healthy and moisturized, also smooth. I would not purchase be because of the intense scent which I don't like, and the large pot which is awkward in the shower.

Tips: Use a small amount, it goes a long way.

Lovely smelling, multipurpose hair product

Smells like banana - delicious! Although if you don't like fragrance this isn't for you because it's quite a strong smell.

You can use this as a regular conditioner, hair mask or a leave in. I think it's so great that this can be used for more than one thing. I used it mostly as a hair mask a few times a week.

It's very moisturizing without weighing down your hair, which is something I loved. I found it really helped moisturize my dry ends but wasn't too heavy.

Loved how much you get in the container, how easy it is to find in the shops, and that it's cruelty free with mostly natural ingredients. This paired really well with the banana shampoo bar and helped keep dry frizziness at bay for me.

Love my hair smelling like banana.

Tips: I used a wide toothed comb to spread this product evenly throughout my hair, focusing on the lengths/ends rather than the scalp to avoid greasiness at the roots.

Garnier Hair Food

No silicones, no parabens or artificial colour and the most amazing banana scent. This product can be used 3 ways, as a conditioner, a mask and a leave in conditioner. I have used it all 3 ways and absolutely love this product. It doesn't weigh my hair down and has left my hair feeling soft and so much healthier. I have mainly used it as a conditioner and use a wide toothed comb to spread the product through my hair. The container is slightly too large for my smaller hands which can make getting the lid back on while in the shower tricky, but that is the only negative I have with this product. Love it, and will be purchasing.

Tips: Wide toothed comb to spread the product

Sickly Sweet

This product is 98% plant origin, and is packaged in a large, easy open tub, which gets ticks in my book.

The hair food has a lovely rich consistency, making it easy to take the perfect amount out of the pot, using my index finger tip, and a small amount is all that's needed. It does what it says, giving my short, fine hair essential volume and extra body, when I use it as a conditioner or a mask.

However, the fragrance is way too overpowering and very sickly sweet. I nearly fell backwards when I took the lid off and got the first whiff, and no, I didn't stick my nose in the pot! The heat of the shower water intensified the smell, making it quite difficult for me to leave the mask on for too long. Even once washed off, I could still smell the sickly fragrance.

Will I add it to my shopping list? No. the fragrance is too off-putting.

Banana-Rama hair!

This product smells AMAZING! The consistency is as you would expect, and the jar is a large twist top. It gets a bit tricky to close when you have product in your hands and shower water making things slippery and i almost dropped the entire jar a few times!

I used it as a mask so put on a good sized blob to work its manic whilst showering.

The end result, smooth and shiny hair that smells great! I even had people compliment me on my hair asking if I had had it straightened. So that’s always going to make something a winner in my books!

Love it.

I truly loved this product! As a conditioner my hair was left hydrated, soft, tangle free and manageable. It smelt devine and rinsed out easily. As a hair mask it gave my hair an extra boost of hydration and left my hair shiny, my curls more defined. I found using it as a leave in conditioner was amazing for my very curly, normally frizzy hair. I didn't need to use any additional styling products, my curls were defined and frizz free without any greasy residue. I highly recommend this product, I'll definitely be buying it again!

A really nice product

A very generous sized container, with a great product inside. You did not need a huge amount of product, and I noticed less frizz, did not completely get rid of it, but did make a difference. Fragrance was just right

Strongly scented, Effective Hair Food

I've used this product before the trial and enjoyed it, so it was nice to get chosen for this trial to give my thoughts on it.

My hair is dry and curly, so I've used this mainly as a leave-in conditioner. It does everything it says it will, but does tend to leave my hair looking a little dull. A simple hair oil helped with that, but was necessary. The scent is very strong, and not for everyone. I have workmates who are very sensitive to product scents, and this one sadly affected them in a negative way. Because of that, I will keep this as a weekend treat for myself. I think they could improve the jar it comes in as it is very large and awkward. The top is a screw-top, and I struggled to get my hands around it to open. Women with smaller hands than me would find this even harder, I imagine.

Overall, I enjoyed this and my curls enjoyed the extra hydration too.

Tips: Great as a leave-in conditioner to tame the flyaways.
