Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Shampoo and Conditioner

Honestly smells amazing! The perfect blend of papaya and coconut, along with other goodies!

My hair felt pretty nourished and soft afterwards, I think the longer I use it the more it will help with repairing damaged hair. The textures go well together, not too thin or thick. And definitely do what it says! The packaging is great being recyclable and biodegradable. Great natural and vegan product and no testing on animals! Really rate duo shampoo and conditioner and highly recommend a top favourite vegan and natural hair product!

I absolutely love the packaging on this duo. A flip top lid makes it easy to use one hand to open and close it when you’re rushing in the morning. The Papaya scent is exactly the same as the original 3 in 1 mask (in the tub) and leaves a beautiful fragrance in the hair when freshly washed. I have very fine hair with extremely dry ends and while my hair was beautifully clean and manageable I didn’t notice any changes to my ends. You can definitely tell that this range is more natural as the scent doesn’t smell artificial and they don’t weigh the hair down like most hydrating shampoos and conditioners. I tried both products separately with other products and they both performed well but I found my hair was greasier than when I had used the shampoo and conditioner together. I will definitely be purchasing these again and use the hair mask once a week to help with the dry ends.

I used the conditioner mixed in with a wash out hair colour and left it in my hair with the dye for a few hours to deep condition while colouring I was impressed with how the scent lingered in my hair. The conditioner is ideal for mixing with temporary hair dyes because it will not prevent the dye from absorption due to being silicone free. This is the type of conditioner I look for. The shampoo cleaned well and a little really did go a long way it is not sulfate free it lathers really easily. I noticed salycilc acid in the product which is often in acne medicines because it's an anti inflammatory I think this makes for a good cleanse and may help keep scalp purified. My hair is not left looking frizzy following using the conditioner and shampoo and while my colour has washed out it is not too bad in terms of stripping colour away. Now I feel if you're not used to silicone or diamenthicone free conditioners I think your not going to like this. This product is one you will get benefits from but you need to give it time like most natural based products. The silicones in conditioners give that rich slippery silky smooth feeling in the shower and basically hide damage not actually fix it or hydrate the hair. I suggest looking up the benefits of silicone free conditioners. Regaurdless you probably will like the shampoo!

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 ,

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.
