Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo and Conditioner

I love this range! Its so easy to be a skeptic when you see a product that says it will be good for your hair with no nasties, will nourish but not overload hair and weigh it down...and then, they are looking out for our environment! I used the products (3 times so far) and have had awesome results! My hair really does seem to have new shine, is weightless and looking pretty darn good at the moment. You will see that all 3 of my previous reviews comment on the fragrance, I really don't like it. One good thing is it doesn't seem to linger on my hair once dried - if it did then I wouldn't use it. All in all, yes, I will definitely buy this range in the future. I hope to see a range of fragrances to make this a 10 out of 10 range!

First off I really enjoyed the smell of watermelon, this just leaves your hair smelling so fresh and devine!!

I have very thin hair which dries very easily and normally anything with too much moisture in it results in my hair become flat and greasy. However the Garnier Fructis watermelon shampoo and Conditioner gave me wonderful texture and volume while still giving me softness and shine. It really is the perfect balance of moisture and volumising.

I love that Garnier is using more natural products in their shampoo/conditioners and love that it's vegan too!

Pros: - Amazing smell, kept my hair feeling fresh and clean for days -Gives my hair the ability to be more bouncy and have life, without being heavy or full of product -Helped reduce my oily roots in between washes

Cons: -None, I love this range!!!

Thanks BR for selecting me to review these products. Also trialled the hair mask (see seperate review) The packaging for both is very appealing on the eye and look great in my bathroom as they are not too big and dont take up too much room. The bottles are easy to handle but noticed the flip lids were a bit stiff to open. Loved using both shampoo and conditioner together. The conditioner compliments the shampoo really well. Both shampoo and conditioner are a thickish consistency and a little goes a long way which is great! The shampoo was great on its own and with conditioner I used them without applying any other hair products and didnt experience any static, frizz or fly aways and didnt weigh my hair down which is a major problem for me with conditioners having fine hair. These are great products but i will try to buy when on special.

Really impressed with this range of shampoo and conditioner! Firstly, the packaging is simple but cute, it reminds me of this raw juices you can get from the supermarket, and it’s made out of recycled materials! I’m not a huge fan of watermelon but I like this scent, it’s not too overpowering but it’s nice and fresh. The idea of ‘discovering the menu’ is a cool idea too, as all the new range is fruit scented. Now to the actual product! I have really fine hair and this worked nicely for me! It helped my hair feel light and lifted, without leaving any texture as some volumising shampoo and conditioners do, it didn’t weigh my hair down at all. I also have oily hair and this helped my hair not get as oily throughout the day! I didn’t have to use as much dry shampoo as usual which is amazing. The shampoo lathers heaps so you don’t need to use as much as you think. When you wash out the shampoo you definitely feel like you need to use the conditioner. The conditioner makes your hair feel super smooth and stronger! I love how this shampoo and conditioner is silicon-free, that’s something that I look for in my hair care. It’s vegan, cruelty-free and mostly plant-based, with no nasty chemicals. Its absolutely amazing to know that such a huge company like Garnier is going in this direction. If all big companies did this the world would be a better place!!

Thanks BR for putting me on this trial by Garnier!

I have thin fine hair that is very limp and dull so I was really excited to trial these two products (together with the mask). The shampoo claims: cleanses, volume and no weigh down - and the conditioner claims: detangles, volume and fast rinse. They are also new vegan formulas that are 96% and 97% natural origin ingredients, the packaging is made up of 50% recycled plastic and are 100% recyclable. I love these movements made by Garnier.

First of all, my hair doesn’t particularly tangle, probably because it’s quite thin so I couldn’t really judge whether this works. However I can say these products do give volume, they are fast rinsing, my hair felt really clean and what was really noticeable was how light they felt in my hair. I have shoulder length hair and found I only needed a small amount of product. My hair felt really soft after washing as well and didn’t get oily on top which is a really big bonus as this is hard balancing act when it comes to shampoo and conditioner.

I loved using these products together, together with the mask, and will continue to use them both. My hair also smells incredible!

I have medium length, fine hair and tend to wash it 4-5 times a week due to exercise . I was excited to trial Garnier’s new Hair Food Watermelon range, specially made for fine hair and was especially keen to see if it would deliver on the hydration and bounce!

Firstly - the smell is insanely good . I love that it is sweet and fresh without being cloying and over powering. The scent lingers in the hair and meant I didn’t need to add perfume - bonus !

The packaging is problematic for me . It is designed to look like juice or smoothie bottles and I realise that can be perceived as clever and in line with the branding - BUT as the mother of small children , one of who asked for a sip (!!!!) this is a big no no in my books. Keep out of reach of small, curious hands!

The duo compliment each other beautifully. I found the shampoo cleansed my hair without stripping it and the conditioner was the perfect weight to hydrate my hair without weighing it down. Overall my hair feels softer and has a nice , natural volume to it. I have noticed my hair is significantly less frizzy and is lovely and shiny.

I would happily purchase these products again, making sure to keep them on the high shelf in the shower !

Since shaving my hair off in early 2020 lockdown for a fundraiser, I avoided shampoo's, taking on a C0-wash regime for over 12 months to avoid silicone-laden hair products which clogged my scalp in the past. As a result, my once-volumous, curly hair had become lank, my scalp oily, desperately needing a different approach to hair care. Along came Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shamppon and Conditioner. Disclaimer: I do not like real watermelon. The scent, the texture, the watery sweetness is something I have avoided since childhood. But the claims of the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo and Conditioner along with Garnier Commitments saw me wanting to try both products. The packaging is designed to mimick bottles of juice grabbed out of a cafe fridge, full of fresh goodness. Easy to hold, these stubby 350 ml recyclable bottles (50% recycled) have a non-recyclable green plastic lid, both with a pink watermelon image on the label, the shampoo bottle a soft pink, the conditioner bottle is white. There is a lot going on on the labels. There are also warnings in regards to do not eat and to keep out of reach of young children. Garnier state a Vegan formula, no silicones, dermatologically tested, the shampoo 97% natural origin formula, the conditioner 96%. Between them, these products, for fine hair, claim volume, gently cleansing, boosted moisture, express detangling, fast rinsing, and no weigh down. There is a clear list of ingredients on the back of both, with a breakdown on what is natural origin and what isn't. The shampoo is a clear, water-rich gel with a gentle foam. My hair and scalp instantly felt properly cleansed but not in any way stripped. The conditioner is a white, water-rich cream which absorbs easily, does the job, and rinses off without any residue. Yes both products smell of watermelon. Am I bothered? I am not bothered. It is not overpowering, and heck, I might even grow to like that sweet, summery scent. Post use. Hair feels soft, healthy, with a lovely bounce, not weighed down at all. My curls have revived with moisture, with a soft coil, and there is a more natural, healthy 'lift' to my hair. I love touching my hair again, and I no longer feel what is growing out of my head is someone else's hair. Did I mention how soft my hair feels? I love there are no silicone or parabens in this product. Despite the scent of watermelon lingering post use, I am a definite convert to this new hair on my head thanks to these products so will be reaching for these on the supermarket fridge, I mean, shelf, again.

The bottles are very cute however not very practical. I found that they both need to be stored upside down in order to make it easier to use. Which is lucky that they have flat lids. They both smell divine without overpowering. The shampoo felt clean and the conditioner finished it off lovely without feeling like it would get greasy in five minutes after my hair has dried. My hair definitely felt like it had more volume and I could even go an extra day without washing! I thoroughly recommend this combination.

I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to try these three lovely natural and environmentally friendly hair products, It was a big ask to anticipate that there were any products that would make any noticable difference with my old (mid eighties) now quite fine hair currently in dire need of a good cut and shape following a couple of serious operations and a couple of months of after care. The fine hair shampoo and conditioner I had been using left my har feeling slightly heavy and sticky and needed to be used daily to keep any shape. What joy to use these lovely, quality, products and get bouncy, soft and shining hair that stays in shape for days . I have yet to try the mask as a leave in product or on dry hair but am now confident I would get satisfying results should the need arise.

Yes I love the products but I cannot say the same for the garish packaging that screams "cheap supermarket" products -not doing justice to the quality of the contents. I am aware that there is a great deal of information to be delivered (hence the tiny and for many of us totally unreadable print) so I have no issue with crowding it all onto the back and sides but, in my opinion, the front would look much more elegant with just a tiny picture of, in this case, the watermelon with the minimum of wording - possibly in a gold and fancy script - something to match the quality of the contents. That said I repeat my eternal plea to all producers of beauty products - If there are directions for use thatneed to be read PLEASE put them (on the back) in a slightly larger, bolder print that is easy enough to read without a magnifying glass
