Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo

The packaging, as with the conditioner, looks more like a bottle of juice than shampoo. The texture was silky and it created an amazing lather with a tiny amount of shampoo. Very strong banana smell which was a little off putting but it did an amazing job and left my hair squeaky clean and silky soft. Definitely does the job and I will use again.

My hair type Is naturally thick curly hair that is prone to be frizzy.

First off this shampoo smelt like banana lollies! At first I didn’t like it but it grew on me and wasn’t so strong the more I used the product. The scent does stay on the hair but is not over powering.

The consistency of the product is a little bit more of a light gel than really runny like some shampoos. For a natural shampoo it lathers really well as well, some natural shampoos barely lather at all. I found this to clean my hair well without weighing down my hair and making my scalp feel dry.

To start off this review I’ll tell you about my hair. At the moment it’s shoulder length, and before trialing this product it wasn’t doing too badly. Usually, my hair and skin are dry as a bone. I suffer from dandruff because of this and I’ve quit using shampoo altogether in the hopes that I can preserve some of the natural oils that help my hair not to be so dry. I’ve only been using conditioner. This product seems to be around the $13 mark and that’s what I’ve been paying for my conditioner.

Okay, so the packaging. It’s fun! Not only is it made from recycled materials, it’s shaped like a little juice bottle, and I love it! Novelty is never a bad thing in my books.

The shampoo lathers really well which means you don’t need heaps and heaps, a saving grace at $13 a bottle. It smells delicious! Like banana candy, so you get a delightful little aromatherapy head massage as you apply. I was a little worried the scent would linger and rub off on my bedding and clothes but it really doesn’t.

Results, you ask? It’s pretty similar to the products around the same price range that I’ve already been using. My dandruff is non existent. My hair isn’t weighed down, and yet it doesn’t go all poofy and unmanageable. I did notice A LOT more softness (seriously, I can’t stop touching my hair…)

I’m well pleased with this shampoo, I haven’t found another that I’d prefer to use so this routine is definitely being added to the essentials!

I have been using this shampoo over the last 2 weeks and love it. It smells insanely good, like some sort of delicious cocktail you could drink. I have quite fine hair and I find it gives it a bit of a lift and my hair feels fuller. Highly recommend this shampoo!

If you've used and loved the Banana Hair Food mask you'll love this pair too - they're deliciously fragranced and work well together to leave hair clean and nourished.

I LOVE the packaging - they look like milk bottles, they scream natural and are recyclable.

This shampoo is thick and foams well. I like a sudsy shampoo so it's an enjoyable experience in the shower. The fragrance fills the shower!

My hair was easy to comb immediately after use, and felt clean and soft.

A fantastic supermarket buy!

It works it definitely makes hair smooth and moisturized but the smell is very strong and I don't like banana smell much so wouldn't buy it again.

Firstly I love that Garnier is cruelty free and that this shampoo is vegan and made from 96% natural origins. It comes in a bottle that kind of reminds me of a juice bottle, its quite clever and looks good. This banana hair food shampoo smells so good! I love that it fills the whole shower up with the smell of banana when I use it. It lathers well so you don't need to use a lot. My hair can get really dry as I dye it blonde, so I was really happy to find it was specially for dry hair. It made my hair so soft and didn't weigh it down and I found I didn't need to wash my hair as soon as I did with the last shampoo I had been using so I decided to just continue using this one as it was perfect for my hair type. My 10 year old daughter who has extremely thick hair also used it and it made her hair so nice and smooth! We were both really happy with the results and will continue using and definitely be repurchasing.

The shampoo from this range is definitely 5 stars for me, it is very hard to find something that won’t make my scalp itchy and flakey, usually supermarket shampoos are a no-no for my scalp, the old range of garnier shampoos years ago were disastrous for me, so I was a bit weary, but it managed to exceed my expectations for sure! It also didn’t strip too much moisture off my scalp, yet it felt really clean after just one wash. The scent I really love as I’m a huge fan of banana scented products, it is a really nice scent, not too artificial, strong enough to smell it while using it, yumm! Great pricing, great results, I will try other flavours in the future for sure!

I really enjoy this shampoo, the smell is like banana fruit bursts! I have dry hair and I am also prone to scalp build up, and this shampoo works quite well. I like that it's vegan and silicone free. The container is a good size (small enough for travel) and you just squeeze the bottle to get the shampoo out rather than a pump, so there's no wastage. Garnier is usually quite affordable so I would definitely recommend!
