Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Shampoo and Conditioner

I grabbed this at countdown as my usual pack and save don't stock this!!!! Like what is wrong with them! I find all mu garnier products are best at countdown and so its worth the visit. I love these and have tried a few in the range and must say this scent is now my fave!

They are so affordable.. I notice that shampoo and condition has gone up in $ but this is still very reasonably priced.

You don't us a lot and so it lasts a long time. It is easy to pour and comes out of the bottle easily - no constant squeezing. Its a viscous formula so pours easily and spreads easily so be fast to get them into your hair.

Along with the shampoo it smells amazing and combined made my hair feel nourished and soft. Packaging is great and pricing looks very reasonable online. I have and will recommend to others .

These bottles are cute. They remind me of juice bottles. They are plastic (recyclable) with a flip top lid. The shampoo bottle is orange and the conditioner white. 96-98% natural origin (fantastic). Instructions are simple (it is shampoo and conditioner) with lots of info on the labels. The shampoo lathers up extremely well, and both the conditioner and shampoo rinse out really easily. They don't have an overly strong scent, the shampoo is slightly stronger on scent. If juicy had a smell, I think this is what it would smell like. I have had less hair fall since using and my hair in general looks healthier, shinier and feels softer, almost silky without looking oily. These products detangle my hair, so no knots when brushing, which means less breakage and damage. Loving these products so far. Along with the shampoo and conditioner, there is also a hair food mask. Will be keeping an eye open, so I can give this a try also.

I loved this combination! My hair looks and feels really healthy after using these two together. They gave my hair a nice healthy shine, but not an overly glossy shine which can sometimes seem like the hair is coated in silicon. The smell is amazing and the packaging is nice that it comes in. These two are great for healthy looking hair, but not so much for detangling.

Oh Garnier. You have struck gold with the hair food range!

1. The packaging. It looks amazing - like little juice or milk bottles. The conditioner is white, the shampoo orange - easy to tell apart. Very sturdy lids, so would be good for trips away. Lots of information.

2. The smell. PAPA-YES!!! It is strong, it last long. It makes you hungry. What more could you want from a shampoo flavour?

3. Cost. I had a quick google and these seem to be around the 11$ mark - very reasonable.

4. Economical? The shampoo is very economical, but I do use thrice the conditioner to shampoo, so I'm going to need to replace that soonish. I do wish hair care companies would realise the imbalance of shampoo to conditioner usage ratio and bottle accordingly!

5. The results. WOWZA. My bleached ends felt hydrated and less brittle than before use. My hair was very soft and shiny but not fluffy or weighed down.

All up its about the best supermarket hair care range I've tried.

I've previously used Garnier's banana hair food mask which smells amazing, so I was really excited to try these.

First impressions were I was very impressed. The bottles are a good size and shape with a good lid and an "eco" feel - they're nice recycled material. The bottle is 50% recycled plastic which I think is awesome given other brands like Monday heavily market themselves on being made from recycled plastic but their bottles are only 20% recycled materials - so 50% is great.

I also like that both the shampoo and conditioner are colourless, so it's not like colours have been added.

Both shampoo and conditioner smell fantastic, like a fruity yoghurt, and the smell reminds me of a tropical holiday. I've come to expect this of the hair food range.

I'm not one to buy expensive hair care - I always buy from the supermarket based on being natural and having a nice smell - and this range ticks both boxes. I will buy these moving forward and look forward to trying the rest of the range.

In terms of being "repairing", I haven't noticed much difference - but I'm sceptical that hair care even delivers on some of those claims!

I really like this shampoo and conditioner regime, though I love the shampoo and just like the conditioner. The shampoo is everything I look for in a good shampoo - amazing scent, lathers well, no extra colours etc, and cleans my hair well without drying it out or leaving it "squeaky" clean. The conditioner was ok - great scent and nice and creamy, but the consistency was a little too thin for what I look for in a repairing conditioner and I don't feel like it is as nourishing as I hoped it would be. Together they work absolutely fine as a regieme, though I might swap out the conditioner for the hair mask version next time!

Nice to see such a pleasant fragrance which smells of Papaya and coconut, not to strong , and found using both shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling silky and moisturized For long hair you may need more conditioner than the shampoo Bottles are cute ,

The products come in an easy to use and store bottle. I have very dry damaged and dull looking hair. The papaya hair repairing shampoo and conditioner work very well together. Products lather and rinse off very easily without weighing the hair down or leaving a greasy feel. I personally didn’t really like the papaya fragrance but found that it didn’t really linger on after drying and using other styling products. After a weeks use I can see that my hair feels a lot smoother and does look less frizzy as well. I didn’t really see much of a difference with shine but would probably need to use it for longer to see any major difference. I like that this is vegan and cutely free a extra tick just for that. Overall a good product and I would like to try the other products in this range as well.
