This conditioner has a beautiful fragrance, which does in fact smell a lot like watermelon but sweeter. It was also pretty moisturising on my hair. Unfortunately, it didn’t improve the volume of my hair at all, which was kinda why I chose it. My hair looked pretty limp after I used it. It is cheap, and a decent conditioner, but if your looking for extra volume this isn’t a good option, despite what the bottle says.

Reviews
I'm obsessed with anything watermelon scented or flavoured so was very excited to try this out. It smells great, but I wish the scent hung around a little longer once rinsed... once washed and dried the scent disappears from my hair completely. The conditioner overall is ok. Very thick consistency so able to get a nice lather through my lengths. I have very fine hair and I didn't find it boosted any volume or added bounce but I did not use in conjunction with the shampoo so it may be user error.
I was very excited to get a hold of this along with the shampoo. It seems to be sold out in supermarkets and the warehouse stores that I have visited recently. I think it is because it is a new flavour / scent from the Garnier hair food line and they did so well with the others. I bought this from the beauty review vault. What I have noticed with the conditioner is in comparison with the papaya one this watermelon one is thick. I was a bit put off from the papaya as it seemed like a watered down version of the hair food in the round tubs. (I have tried the round tubs of hair food in all the flavours except the watermelon) what I have noticed is the watermelon scent doesn't linger in my hair as long as the others do. As I have said with the hair food conditioners if you're new to using silicone / diamenthicone free conditioners you might feel like this doesn't smooth your hair enough and that you need alot. That is because silicone diamenthicone free conditioners are missing that silly slippery smooth soft additive in them which gives those feelings to the hair when wet. They build up in your hair long term, can dry hair out and prevent dye from good absorption into the hair. They do give an impression of healthy hair because it masks damage by disguise - putting a coating on the hair and smoothing. It's a costume though it's not actually nourishing or hydrating. Anyway I like this product and I'm going to mix it into temporary hair colour in the future and use as a mask to try make the scent linger longer. I don't think this is my favourite of them all but I'm so glad I have finally got to try it. Didn't notice extra volume though but the shampoo made my hair clean and the conditioner left my hair feeling soft and not all weighed down.
Just like the shampoo, this stuff smells freaking good. Anyone who loves watermelon will appreciate that Garnier have hit the nail on the head with the scent. However, my personal opinion is that the scent is the best thing about this product. The conditioner didn't leave my hair feeling overly silky/smooth, neither before or after rinsing. Also, it didn't 'boost' my fine hair. Perhaps this will work better for others, but I can't see myself using it again. Cool packaging though!
I like the packaging as non slip, nice fit in the hand and easy to use flip cap. I liked that the conditioner bottle is white whereas the shampoo is pink because I can tell the difference in the shower without my glasses. The product is thick and creamy which makes it easy to control dispensing a small amount as I have short hair. I found a dollar coins dab was enough. It has a nice soft fragrance, not sweet and sickly and it lingers after the hair drys which I didn’t mind as the smell is pleasant. The product spread through my hair well and washed out easily and quickly. My wet hair combed easily and once dry my hair felt silky smooth. I haven’t used conditioner in a while as I find it flattens my hair out and feels heavy. Using this conditioner my hair gained bounce, felt light and clean and looked healthy and shiny. I agree the product meets the claims on the packaging. I like that the bottle is made with 50% recycled plastic and is recyclable. This product ticks all the boxes for me and I will continue to use this in conjunction with the shampoo and conditioning hair mask.
Tips: Keep away from small children as the bottle looks like fruit drink. I traveled away with the shampoo and conditioner and the lids held closed well in my toiletries bag so no leaks.
My big tick for this product - along with the shampoo - applies! The delightful watermelon fragrance is a gorgeous surprise. It’s a great conditioner that doesn’t leave my fine hair limp and flat. Instead it is non-frizz and soft, and stays feeling wavy and full of volume al day. I like the compact recyclable bottles (good for travelling too) and the sturdy flip tops. These are good value and I will buy again.
Tips: Use in combo with the shampoo for very good results indeed.
Good to see that this is another cruelty free, natural and environmentally friendly product.. For me it has just a very faint and pleasant but unidentifiable scent - appealing to use. Like the shampoo it is very economical to use - great coverage with just a small amount - about enough to cover a $2 coin. Lovely white creamy product not too wet and not too dry so it comes out of the bottle easily - covers the hair beautifully and then rinses out quite easily. The result, whether I blow dry or leave it to dry naturally, my very fine old hair has lift , body and shine that lasts Sadly the white bottle is not translucent so it is impossible to see how much product remains (peering down the top at white product in a white bottle is not the answer)
Cute packaging, almost looks like a wee bottle of milk. Conditioner is a good consistency and smells nice but not overpowering. I felt I needed to use a generous amount to get it all over my medium length hair. I wasn’t used to the fact that when you wash it out your hair doesn’t feel smooth and silky like other conditioners but I guess that is a good thing because when I dried my hair it was fantastic! There was volume because it wasn’t weighted down by chemicals and greasy hair. I am super pleased by this product!
I really loved the matte packaging for this! It feels really lovely in the hand and doesn't slip out with wet hands in the shower! I found the formula of this really lovely, it comes out so thick and creamy that it almost looked like icing! Not to mention it smells good enough to eat too! I did quite like this product but felt like it was only made really great by following up with the hair mask as the conditioner alone didn't feel quite as smooth on the hair when used alone.
I use this for my daughter who is 13 yrs old and never had a haircut due to cultural reasons so it is important it have something natural this is over 90% natural, smells like you could eat it, does everything it's meant to and is cruelty free so even better.
