Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo and Conditioner

On receipt of the products I was a little amused as they looked as though they should be drunk. Unimpressive packaging belied the quality of the product. Not something you would put on display. The shampoo created an excellent lather and was easy enough to wash out. The conditioner left my hair feeling beautifully soft and silky. The only downside was the fragrance was a strong and rather pungent banana. However this was only whilst using the products and the fragrance fortunately did not linger. Great product but fragrance a bit strong,

These products from Garnier are lovely. They come in funky plastic bottles reminiscent of juice bottles. They are a lovely bright yellow with very neat branding. They have flip top lids and pour-able tops underneath.

The shampoo smells lovely and leaves my hair clean and lightweight. The conditioner is thick and creamy and absorbs into my hair in a way I really like. It has a divine banana scent that unfortunately doesn't stay in my hair after drying but is gorgeous while I'm using it.

The products claim to detangle & nourish dry hair with no weigh down, and leave users with deeply nourished, healthy looking hair. I feel they meet this claim very well. My hair feels soft, nourished and hydrated.

Overall, I enjoy using the two products together, and they work really well.

They are vegan, contain no silicones, and come in recyclable bottles, and those things are important to me in my products.

I recommend trying this set - the scent alone is a big drawcard if you like a creamy banana scent, and the gentle shampoo is a great complement to the creamy conditioner.

Packaging is nice I like the big tops so it can be set on a shelf upside down easily and the fact the conditioner is in a different coloured bottle so for use who need glasses no squinting in the shower and trying to grab the right bottle. The shampoo foams up nicely and cleans my hair without stripping it and the follow on with the conditioner is a perfect match. I’d say for a nourishing duo these are definitely worth a try especially with the price. It’s a nice set and such a reasonable price

A real winner form Garnier. Eco friendly packaging made from recycled materials, super fun, novelty design. Vegan and cruelty free formula means none of our furry friends were harmed in the making of these products.

Let’s talk hair. Before trialing these products, my hair was fluffy, dry, split ends, dandruff, itchy scalp. I’d pretty much just tie it up all the time. Was not proud of my locks. I had stopped using shampoos in the hopes of preserving some of the natural oils that help my hair, and was only using conditioners of similar price range from other brands.

For the most part the results for this brand have been the same, less to no dandruff, healthier looking hair. But there are a few significant differences: my hair is super soft. I serially can’t keep my hands away. It doesn’t weigh my hair down but I no longer have a fluffy mess. Since starting this trial I have been able to wear my hair down with pride. It’s so good to be able to use a shampoo along with conditioner as well.

I nearly forgot to mention the smell! It’s delightful in the shower, like banana candy! But don’t you fuss about the scent lingering on your bedding or clothes, it doesn’t.

All in all, I think I’ll be carrying on with these products. I’m quite keen to try the other “flavours” in this range too.

Overall, I like this range of Garnier Fructis hair food products. They come in super cute packaging and look just like delicious fruit smoothie bottles. It’s a catchy design. I prefer hair products to be in a bottle as well rather than a tub because they are easier to use in the shower. I also find the texture of both the shampoo and conditioner in this range to be perfect – not too runny nor too thick, it’s just right!

The conditioner has the edge for me over the shampoo because of its fragrance. It smells absolutely divine and it feels almost pampering to use because of its creamy-looking formula and luscious fragrance. The shampoo feels a bit more basic in comparison because of the way it looks and smells - its formula is almost colourless and its fragrance is fairly non-descript. But both products lather up well and rinse off well. Plus they both feel gentle and kind on my hair. I like knowing that both of these products are vegan, kinder on the environment, cruelty-free and mostly of natural origin.

The only negative comment that I have to make with this range is that it didn’t have any noticeable effect on my dry hair… They are pleasant and easy to use and feel gentle on my hair, but unfortunately they don’t have that wow factor in terms of being the solution to my dry hair.

I would still recommend these hair food products because they are mostly of natural origin, cruelty-free, sustainable, better for the environment and kind and gentle on your hair – they do rate well in all those areas. And also I think this gentle hair food range would work well on children’s hair because they are not harsh or artificial. But because they don’t make much of a difference to my dry hair, I am giving them an overall score of three and a half kisses.

I think this shampoo and condition work well together as a regime. They’re not life changing but work perfectly fine. If you had extremely dry hair, these products would be unlikely to be enough but for you. I would say my hair is dry on the lengths and oily on the roots and this regime seemed to work well.

The shampoo works well to clean my hair and the condition puts just the right amount of nourishment back into my hair without drying it out.

Both products have the same banana smell and compact packaging.

I’m a big fan of using a shampoo and condition part of the same range because I think that’s how they’re supposed to be used. You get the best of both products when you use it as recommended with the other product.

Thank-you Beauty review for sending me the Garnier Fructis Banana hair food shampoo and conditioner to trial. This range is recommended for dry hair to help cleanse and nourish. The range is 96-98% natural origins is cruelty free and vegan free yay!

The packaging is rather interesting and looks like a banana smoothie bottle. This is definitely one to keep out of reach from young children. The flip top lid was a little hard to open with wet fingers in the shower but not a big deal.

Unfortunately the shampoo did not meet my expectations. I found it left my hair greasy and made my scalp feel like there was product residue left behind. The conditioner was nice and left my hair soft, not completely knot free but more manageable.

Overall a nice smelling range but left me wanting a bit more and felt a little gimmicky to be honestly.

I was selected by the BR team to trail the shampoo and conditioner and have reviewed the individual products and now this is my thoughts on the duo. Honestly i wasn't the biggest fan, i don't like the packaging, its not pleasing and is just abit too "80" vibe, i like minimal. In terms of the performance together, it made my hair very flat and heavy feeling. There was no bounce and it got greasier two days sooner than normal. Even though i had washed out the product well it still felt like i had residue left in my hair. When i dried it, i had alot of fly away's. The smell is nice in the bottle but lingers around until the next wash and i kept getting waves of banana smells throughout the day, my daughter said i smelt like perky nana chocolate, not ideal.

Overall the product did what is said it would but it just didn't agree with my hair and left it feeling dull, flat and heavy.

I gave the rest of the product i had left over to my niece who has very curly hair and she loved it so it definitely didn't go to waste

I initially loved using this product, especially the smell. After finishing the bottles it has left my hair quite dry and brittle, the opposite of what it is supposed to do. I enjoy the all natural, vegan ingredients but will not be purchasing this again. I will however be trying their other options in this range.
