Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Review

I found the tub quite large and fiddly for the shower. It wasn’t the easiest to get the lid screwed back on with product on your hand and rinsing the product off to screw the lid on seemed a waste of product. I tried this as a conditioner, a mask and a leave in but it just wasn’t right for me. It smells great but for me it had a strong after smell which I wasn’t a fan of. It has a thick consistency and coated the hair well but when rinsed out my hair didn’t feel conditioned like I get from other product. I wanted to love this like I do the shampoo bar but unfortunately it’s just not a product I would purchase

First off, this is a huge pot! Very good value. Oh my gosh the scent is dreamy, sweet like banana lollies, so nice. This hair food is thick and deliciously creamy, a little goes a long way. I use as a conditioner after washing with the banana shampoo bar and it glides through my hair like butter. This product is fantastic! It's nourishing, my hair appears less dry but at the same time it does not weigh my fine hair down! I always find my hair looks flat after day 1 but these two combined I have volume for days. I love this treatment and will buy again, I've not used a moisturizing product in the past that wasn't heavy so this is a winner!

I have been a longtime fan of Garnier Hair Food, but honestly can't remember if I have tried the Banana one!

This time I used it, following the Shampoo Bar (also amazing. The shampoo Bar left my hair feeling clean, but tangly (to be expected with my curls).

I slathered on the Hair Food, and went about the rest of my shower routine. After a few minutes, I was able to run my fingers through (slowly) and detangle my hair. I rinsed out the Hair Food, and my hair instantly felt soft and delicious.

Combined with the Shampoo Bar, the Hair Food left my hair smelling amazing all day - even prompting a compliment from my pre-teen (so rare).

Hair Food is an amazing product. I use it for deep conditioning, a normal condition, and a leave in conditioner. The tub last for ages, and I have shoulder length curls.

Love, love, love this product! A little goes a long way and it leaves my hair feeling fantastic!

I have fine hair that is just below my shoulders in length. Because it is so fine it can feel weighed down quite easily but this product manages to be thick and luxurious without being heavy. I love that Garnier Fructis Nourishing Banana Hair Food can be used as a conditioner, hair mask, or a leave-in treatment.

I apply a small amount to my hair and leave it in while washing my body before rinsing off. It is so simple to use, smells great, leaves my hair feeling fantastic, and all for a great price. This is one product that I will be buying again!

Used this is conjunction with the hairfood shampoo bar - what a combo! The packaging is really bright and cheerful and somehow feels eco friendly. The scent of this is absolutely stunning. I tried it as a general masque first which I left on for about 2 minutes and then washed off, i have also tried it as a general conditioner but found it a bit thick for general use. However my hair was sooo silky and smooth after using it. The price point is slightly high and you can get other products with the same results, but I really rate this product for the eco friendly and natural feel it gives, with really lovely ingredients. Awesome product.

This product is now going to be a staple hair conditioner, treatment or leave in mask. I want to try all the flavours. It surprisingly made my hair soft and smelling delicious and wasn’t too heavy either. My mum used some also who never uses conditioner as her hair is so oily but this was really good on her hair and didn’t make it extra oily.

Thanks for letting me review this product I was first blown away by the size of it and I thought this is great it’s easy to use and store in the shower I good generous size. I smell it and it almost smells like a really nice banana smoothie lol. It’s has a nice creamy texture and goes on your hair nice and thick and I leave it in for a good five minutes or so it rinses out nice and clean and my hair feels really nice but smells amazing. I’ve used it as a mask/conditioner now for a good week and I really like it, I have thick dry frizzy hair and once it’s dry and styled I find it’s definitely not that frizzy so this is def going to be my go to for the moment and to be honest I can’t resist the smell it’s so nice.

I received the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana pottle as part of a trial team. The bright yellow 390ml container fits on the shelf in the shower. Not so convenient if you're used to a pump as you need to take the lid off to use. The fragrance is pleasant without being overpowering & not overly banana which I appreciated. 98% of ingredients are natural based - no silicones or parabens. It's a thick white "cream" which you scoop up to use either as a conditioner, hair mask or a leave in. I haven't used yet as a leave in as my fine hair tends to go limp with this format. I've been happy with the result - soft, shiny & easy to manage hair. It seems to be combatting the dryness so I'd say this product overall is a winner and I'd recommend it.

I have so many mixed feelings about this product

The tub is quite large (which should be a good thing!) but it is a little awkward to fit in the shower and tricky to put the lid back on when your hand is full of product. Plus I am not a fan of putting my fingers in a tub of product - just a personal quirk. I would definitely prefer if it came in a bottle. The banana smell is a little more like a sickly sweet banana lolly and is very strong but the scent does calm down and I can always purchase a different flavour so no biggie. The product is thick and creamy and easy to apply.

I tried using the product in all three ways suggested on the back of the tub - a conditioner, mask and as a leave-in.

It worked ok as a conditioner and there was definitely no weigh down, I had volume like you wouldn't believe! I looked like I had sooooo much hair! The next day I had to straighten it to calm it down but then I found it got greasier so much quicker than my hair normally would. I usually only need to wash my hair twice a week but with this product I had to wash it every couple of days. I thought using it as a mask after using shampoo and conditioner would be excellent but sadly it definitely made my hair greasy quickly. For me I don't think using this product all over my hair is the way to go. I tried it as a leave-in on the ends of my hair when my hair was dry and I was nervous as it it looked like it was going to make my hair look very greasy but after a few minutes the ends of my hair soaked up the product and apart from the smell you wouldn't know I had applied any product. But using it as a leave-in on my mid length/ends on wet hair was the best outcome for me. I always air dry my hair and instead of my hair getting all frizzy through the day as it dried it just looked soft, moisturised and healthy.
