Bargain!

I absolutely loved the Papaya one of this, so I thought I would try the banana version. I have bleached blonde hair, so my hair is quite dry and damaged, and needs a good hair mask twice a week. The mask comes in a very generously sized cheerful yellow and white tub for the price. I find this is super economical compared to other supermarket hair masks, the price is lower and way more products is included. I have very thick hair and it takes me a long time to get through the Garnier hair food. The hair food/mask is quite thick in texture, so you can easily grab a chunk and apply it to the hair without making a mess or dropping product. The banana scent is very strong, it smells more like banana lollies than actual banana, so I really enjoy the scent, but if you don't like strong scents, this isn't for you. The scent lingers long after my hair has dried which I love. I use this both as a hair mask, and occasionally as a hair conditioner. It washes out easily. and instantly my hair feels so much softer and healthier after using this. My hair feels soft for days after washing when I use this.This also reduces my frizz and makes my hair smoother. I'm not sure what ingredient in the product is doing it, but whenever I use this my hair looks much blonder and brighter, and I get a lot of compliments on it, so something in this is working it's magic. Although I do prefer the papaya one, I would happily use this again!

Nourishing and Hydrating

This smells divine and feels expensive. I have also tried the papaya and I do prefer the scent of that one, as I love sweetness. However, I found both products work pretty much the same in term of texture of products and results. I much prefer this product - an intensive conditioner over a hair mask, as you don't need to live it in for as long and worry about any of it washing away while you continue your shower.

Personally, my hair is not in bad condition, I've never dyed it, rarely use heat - maybe twice a year I'll curl my hair for a special occasion, and I don't suffer from dry hair. However, my hair is thin and dead straight with no volume, and I thought a bit of nourishment would help to liven my hair up a bit. It definitely did, my hair felt soft and hydrated, with a bit of bounce for a few days post using the conditioner. It comes in a very big tub and lasts a long time, it's also pretty natural for a cheaper hair treatment product, which is great to see!

Garnier hair food banana mask

I had been eyeing this up at the supermarket for a while and when it came on special I decided to try 2 of the varieties, banana and papaya. I was really impressed. I usually treat my hair to a conditioning treatment of some sort on a Sunday. I loved these hair masks! I like how you can scoop a good dollop from the generous tub and slather your hair with a lovely amazingly scented conditioner. I left the product on for about 5-10 minutes and then rinsed off and my hair felt beautifully soft and easy to comb, but not at all greasy or weighed down. I would totally recommend anyone to give one or all of the fragrances a go. Just pick your favourite scent. Or all of them!

Fructis hair food Banana

If I could eat this amazing hair mask I probably would. Love that it's in a big pottle and I can be generous with it. After leaving it on my hair for about abou 10 minutes and then washing it out, it left my hair feeling nice and hydrated. Also left my curls looking not so bad

Smells devine

I love this product. Really bright and appealing packaging. Its smells strongly of tropical banana. Product is very thick and creamy. I use a fair amount then leave overnight after brushing it through. Hair is softer but doesn't necessarily repair damage. Very conditioning however and has lasted me quite awhile.

Tips: Brush in and leave overnight for best results

LOVE

I absolutely love this Garnier product. I use it as a mask or conditioner. It makes my hair soo smooth, shiny and smells AMAZING. It's my favourite conditioner. I like to leave it in my hair for 1+ hours to really get the moisturizing benefits. Highly recommend. I already want to try all the other scents!

Tips: Leave it in your hair as a mask for super hydrated locks!

smells good and a good conditioner

i used it as a leave in conditioner without rinsing them off it makes my hair smell so good , just do not apply it onto your scalp directly cause it will make your roots get oily more quickly ,so i like to use it as a conditioner and rinse it off .

Great slip

This conditioner has great slip and it perfect to help detangle. I have thick curly hair and this is my favourite hair food variety. For a low cost deep conditioner it's fab. It's great that it is mutli use- deep condish, condish, and leave in.

Tips: Be aware that all the varieties have different recipes and some are not as good as others.

Some banana for the hair?

If anyone out there loves their banana, this is product you must try for your hair conditioning needs. It’s a hair mask, conditioner, and leave-in treatment 3 in 1. Although it doesn’t smell strongly of real banana, it’s lovely sweet scent was light enough to make even those who won’t usually go for banana flavours, to keep sniffing it. It was so.. good... I really enjoyed having this scent around me while i was hair washing, too bad the scent didn’t last long. Well, have to consider the fact that it’s a natural product after all... That’s a bonus!

After drying, my long hair felt light and soft, but it looked like it was double straightened with a straightener. It was just hanging down flat straight on both sides of my face looking a little too straight.

However, my hair looked better the next morning i woke up. It had some of it’s bounce back. And was very easy to comb through.

My hair is very straight already, so i tend to love products that can give my dehydrated and sometimes malnourished long hair a little healthy bounce and volume (as well as giving me that silky smoothness feel). However, i don’t think it’s the products fault. I think i’ll love it more after getting that hair cut. But for now, i think the more intensely nourishing macadamia hair food also from the Garnier fructis range worked much better in satisfying my now long hair.

Overall, this product would be a good choice for those who wants to enjoy a nicely scented hair wash ritual with a natural product, and lightly nourished, straight, soft and weight-less hair that’s easy to comb.

Recommend trying out other hair mask products in this Garnier range. Amazingly they even have one in goji berry.
