I love the cute little bottles the shampoo and conditioner come in. It's quite unusual and helps it stand out from other products. When my husband first saw them he thought I had bought fancy juices, I can see where he was coming from but I still like the way they look lol.
They both had the same scent, as you'd expect. A subtle fruity watermelon fragrance, smells so yummy.
The thing I found most impressive about the products was that they didn't give me dandruff. I have a dry, sensitive scalp, so I have to be very particular about which shampoos and conditioners I use. But I'm pleased to report that the Garnier Watermelon Hair Food products passed that test. This is surprising considering the shampoo contains sulfate, which would normally cause me to avoid it, but it wasn't a problem at all.
They were both easy to apply, lather up and rinse off. Left my hair feeling nice and smooth and clean, as you'd expect.
My hair is fine and naturally has very little volume so I was hopeful that this range could help me with that. While it didn't seem to weigh my hair down, it also didn't seem to give me more volume than other shampoos and conditioners. My hair is usually resistant to products that claim to be volumising, so I think a lot of the fault might lie within my stubborn flat hair.
Overall I do really like the products. I received them in exchange for a review so I didn't pay anything. I looked them up after using them and I was surprised to see they go for $11 to $12 each, considering their small size and the products don't seem extraordinary. To be honest, I'm not really sure if it is worth the price. There are cheaper products that I am just as happy with. So unfortunately I don't think I'm likely to buy more of these unless there's a really good sale.
Garnier Fructis Volumising Shampoo and Conditioner smell good enough to eat. They come in easy-to-use compact bottles with fun bright labels. The packaging is made from 50% recycled plastic and is recyclable. As a regime, this duo is quick and easy to use. You don't have to leave the conditioner in for ages for it to work and both products rinse out cleanly. These products left my hair very soft and bouncy and smelling of juicy Watermelon.
Tips: Don't leave these products on the kitchen bench as they could be mistaken for something edible!
