Garnier Fructis Hair Food Papaya Shampoo

This smells amazing and I like that it's clear and colourless, so feels nice and natural. The smells lasts on your hair the next day.

It foams up nicely so you feel like you're getting a good clean.

First of all the packaging is very modern and is able to be recycled which I think is really good, although I had it sitting in the table when it arrived and my 3 year old thought it was a bottle of juice!! Not sure if that’s a good thing or not? Anyway the shampoo smells amazing and I love the idea of it but does it clean and repair my hair? I find the consistency a bit watery and it doesn’t foam up like others. My hair smells nice and seems clean but after a few uses it’s just not helping my hair at all if anything it’s making it dryer. My hair is very dry and damaged so it’s going to take something amazing, my husband likes it and I’m happy enough to use it in my kids hair so all is not lost.

This shampoo smells great, the texture is great and didn't leave mine or my childrens hair weighed down. We all had soft hair afterwards two chlorine damaged and one bleached! Loved that there's no rubbish in it and packaging looks good enough to drink. A solid supermarket option would buy again!off to sniff the other flavors in the supermarket because this one smells so good!

So I thought this shampoo was really nice. I felt like it cleaned my hair really well and wasn’t harsh at all. It smelt divine which I loved about it. After the shower my roots would feel soft but clean because in the past some shampoos have made my roots feel either dry and clean or soft and dirty. I think I would buy this again in the future as I do like products that I can easily find at the supermarket.

My first thought was that it's quite a thick liquid, and the bottle opening seemed quite large for the consistency of the shampoo, a little squeeze and bloooop out drops a large portion of shampoo, probably a bit more than I needed. It lathered really nicely, lots of luscious thick bubbles which felt really nice. My hair felt pretty squeaky clean using the shampoo. The fragrance was ok, a touch bitter in its papaya scent but not overwhelming. Did the job, would use again.

After about a week and a half use of this shampoo along with the matching conditioner, my ends are still looking pretty damaged but I'm incredibly surprised by how super soft my hair is feeling, though with that it seems to also be looking a touch fluffy but that would likely be solved with a hair straightener.

Overall, I think my hair did really like this shampoo and conditioner combo even though it took a few washes to see some results, and I suspect I need to keep using it for a bit longer to really decide if its a good match for me (plus going for my overdue trim would likely help the situation), sometimes I find my hair will only like shampoos/conditioners for a certain amount of time before it feels like my hair goes backwards, hopefully not the case with this one because I do think its great its 98% organic. I would probably use this again, especially if my hair stays this soft using it!

Garnier Papaya with coconut shampoo. Product comes in an easy to use flat bottomed bottle with flip top lid which is pretty easy to use and store. The shampoo is of gel like and easily lathers up with out using up large amounts. Washes and rinses out very nicely without leaving it feeling too dry. Not a huge fan of the fragrance but that doesn’t really linger on once hair is dried up. Found that it did leave my hair a lot less frizzy and I must admit after blow drying I could see that it was a lot smoother. I cannot really comment on the shine bit as my hair is currently very dry and damaged looking, so might need to use it for longer to see the shine effect. Overall a good product and I would re use again.

This shampoo smells absolutely delicious and comes in a 350ml recyclable bottle. It is vegan for those that prefer that and it doesn't contain silicon which is preferable to me. Garnier also commit to a world without animal testing which gets my vote. I used this shampoo a few times and it lathered up well and left my hair feeling very clean but I feel I need to use it longer to garner as to whether it repaired my chemically treated hair to any extent. I couldn't read the ingredients on the bottle very well as the print is quite small but aside from that, I give it a thumbs up.

My first impressions is this looks exactly like a bottle of juice or smoothy! I guess that is the point but hide this from young kids they will think it is literally to eat or drink. It smells very sweet like mango and apricot I didn't get coconut smell! I expected this one to be a sulfate free shampoo which do not lather up (firm soapy foam) because if is such a seemingly natural product. Nope. This one's definitely soapy! A little bit went a fairly decent way. I don't think it "absorbed" into my hair like some tend to do. With ones like that the soap of foam usually disappears quickly I didn't notice that happening here. I believe there is stuff in the product that is good for my hair but I am.nit sure if it really can do much unless it really does absorb into hair and even then, with the sulfates / soap suds it's getting washed out? Anyway it smells good and dies the job a shampoo should! I had freshly coloured my hair with a wash out dye and this was not too harsh in terms of stripping colour from my hair even though it doesn't specify that it is to help maintain dyed hair. It does claim to repair which I don't totally understand how they do that perhaps the oils will smooth and hydrate but again with the sulfate washing them out I feel it might just be worth using the conditioner for better absorption of these "repairing" additives. In saying this the oils in here may absorb after all and this might mean your hair could feel like it needs to be washed more often but on the plus be less frizzy I notice the vegan stuff and cruelty free but are the plants sustainable? Anyway this product is very perfumed and sweet scented and I am excited to try the watermelon scent. I like that the bottle can be recycled kids will enjoy using it at playcentre. I will buy this if it's on special for sure. But for now I fully enjoy the tubs of hair food conditioner. I like silicone free conditioners but am less fussy when it comes to shampoo because if I'm washing my hair I just want it to feel clean afterwards & smell good. Can't be sure this actually repairs but it's a nice product.
