Love this hair mask!

Smells amazing and made my dry coloured blonde hair feel so much smoother and softer. It was far less frizzy and feels healthier.

Tips: I washed and conditioned my hair and then towel dried it lightly before putting the mask on for the recommended minute.

Banana Hair Food

I saw these on sale at Countdown so thought I'd give it a go after mixed reviews online. I use this on both my daughters hair and mine. I've found it does more for my daughter than me, used while hair is damp and just a small amount on finger tips, then brushed through.

It definitely hydrates the hair and makes it easier to brush. The banana smell is not too much either. My ends are still a little frizzy but I just keep applying this when needed. I'll continue to use this product as after more uses it may do more for my hair. But definitely helping my daughters hair and we both have wavy dry hair.

Tips: Can be used as a conditioner or on damp hair and left in. Apply small amounts at a time so you don't over do it, and doesn't need to be used everyday.

Banana Hair food

I joined the Curly Girl Facebook page, as I have wavy hair, and this was highly rated by other Curly Girls, so I thought “why not give it a go?”. Firstly I feel the tub isn’t very handy to work with in the shower, I think it needs to be in a bottle. The smell reminds me of banana lollies, which is that kind of a fake, chemically smell but it’s not too overpowering. It’s nice and thick and is easily spread through hair and washes out well enough. I did like how my hair felt at the start but it didn’t really stop the dryness at my ends as much as I’d hoped. I must admit it is good as a hair mask but I don’t feel it’s good for long term or daily use.

Tips: Good for a weekly hair mask

Placebo effect?

This will not be your savior, If your hair is already split and frizzy etc. it cannot bring it back. However, if your hair is already in good condition i think it helps hydrate and soften. The smell is also amazing!! always get compliments after I do a mask with this. I use this product mostly as an overnight hair mask and sometimes as a leave-in conditioner. I would love to eventually replace this product with something that gives a more dramatic result, however for the price point i'm happy with this.

Tips: brush through hair with fingers and leave overnight for weekly hair mask

Fantastic hair treatment!

I had heard great things about this hair treatment, and decided to try it when I saw it on sale at Pak n Save during the August level 4 lockdown. My hair is dry and frizzy, and this adds a lot of moisture, and helps smooth it out. I use it as a hair mask after applying shampoo and conditioner, and as a leave-in conditioner on wet and dry hair. A little goes a long way! There is still lots in the container even after using it several times a week since August.

Very average

To set the scene I have very dry, thick, frizzy hair. I found the packaging was ok but I prefer a bottle as I find it more convenient to dispense the product into my hand rather than having to scoop it out of a tub. The banana scent was not too overpowering for me, and I'm not a fan of banana but this was fairly subtle. The product is quite thick and felt nice to apply. I left it for the recommended time then rinsed it out. Once I rinsed the product out my hair did not feel nice and smooth as I had hoped but instead quite course and dull. My hair wasn't awful afterwards but it wasn't great either, it just didn't quite sit right and was a bit fuzzier than I'd like. To be fair I do normally use salon products on my hair but this just didn't stack up for me.

Tips: Wouldn't recommend for dry frizzy hair but might be better suited to normal to oily hair.

10/10

I love using hair foods, they're so amazing and leave my hair so luscious and silky. The scent on this one is so amazing and stays all day! It's a fresh smell and is so yummy.

The product overall is so good and i definitely recommend.

Great product

I was very excited to try this ,having extremely dry hair ,and no success with many products this was definitely something I was hoping would actually improve my hair .

The size of the container is good ,only thing is wasn’t sure if it’s recyclable ,and I would have preferred an inner seal to make sure no contamination could occur .

The fragrance was definitely Banana and I found it a bit over powering ,but it doesn’t make your hair smell excessively of banana thank goodness .

The cream was soft ,creamy ,silky ,like marshmallow,felt good on your hands and hair ,I used this as a conditioner and found it excellent .

My hair now feels soft,silky and Manageable ,I just wish it was able to add body to my hair as well .

It really delivered for me ,no longer does my hair feel dry or brittle hence the 5 star rating .

I intend to keep using this product and might try as a leave in treatment next time ,I particularly liked that there were more than one option for its use . Highly recommend to anyone wth dry hair issues .

Tips: If your hair is very dry do be liberal with the amount you use

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Review

This product is wonderful! My hair is very fine and thinning (thanks menopause!) and although this is a conditioner it gave it texture and fullness without any other product added. I used the conditioner in the 3 ways suggested on the back of the pot and the result was the same!

Tips: Make sure you put the lid on or water from the shower gets in it haha!! whoops!
