Nourishing Banana Shampoo
I always have quite dry hair and have been using the Garnier Fructis Nourishing Banana Hair Food Shampoo. The scent is divine it has a really noticeable sweet banana scent, the shampoo is clear in colour. I apply around the size of a 20-50c coin to my palm and mix with my opposite hand then lather into my wet hair starting from the scalp down. The shampoo lathers very well and gives my scalp a good clean while nourishing it instead of some shampoos that strip my hair or make it dry. I use this in conjunction with the Banana Hair Food Conditioner and Multi-Use Mask. I would recommend this great budget friend shampoo.
Great for dry hair
I love the smell of this shampoo, it has a gorgeous banana fragrance that is so yummy and the scent really lasts on hair. My thick hair can be dry in winter and this shampoo really helps with that and to lock moisture in. It’s thick and luxurious in consistency and lathers up well and rinses with ease. It leaves my hair really hydrated and easy to style and it helps fight frizz and static that comes with dry hair. it’s a great budget friendly shampoo as well. The packaging is cute and funky and I really loved it. I would buy this shampoo again
Smells amazing!
The smell is amazing and really stick to your hair, the packaging is so nice and different from other products, it looks super cute. It does it’s job as a regular shampoo, doesn’t feel heavy on the hair, but did not feel like it changed much on my hair.
Would purchase it as a “basic” and natural option, but if I wanted a different kind of treatment to the hair.
Do recommend it.
I have tried the banana hair mask before trying this and I was just as satisfied with it. Probably wouldn’t change a professional production for this but as a supermarket or pharmacy brand is a good option.
Fruity!!!
This shampoo has amazed me. First of all....the fragrance is so fruity and yummy.....resist yourself not to take a small lick of it. IT leaves your hair smell so fresh and relaxed.
The moisturisation is very good. My hair are dry and frizzy so am always after a product that makes them look soft and shiny and I think my hunt is over now. The product is so effective in getting rid of that dryness.
The fact that its 95% organic makes it more likable. In fact I also used it a couple of times on my 5 year old because of no harmful ingredients.
Will definitely buy again and would recommend to family and friends.
Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo
The packaging for this product is very minimal (But still very cute) and has a textured feel to the bottle as it is made from 50% recycled plastic. It is vegan friendly and has a nice little ingredient breakdown on the back to give a little more insight into what has gone into the bottle. The shampoo lathers really nicely. A little goes a long way. The fragrance is absolutely amazing, it's like a tropical holiday in your shower. Leaves me with with hardly any frizz which i was I was amazed with considering the ample lather it produces. Overall a really lovely product that I would definitely recommend and repurchase.
Smooth
The bottle is a nice shape. Great size for a holiday. The smell is strong. I would say it leaves my hair oily. Normally get knots in my hair. Which this shampoo helped my hair not get to knotty. It leave my hair smooth even tho it's shampoo. The smell after shower is done is still left in my hair. I do find it to be stronger.. didn't expect the smell to last a few days, but it does. I would recommend this product. My hair was bleached. So using it on bleached hair has helped me be able to brush put any knots without to much trouble.
Delicious
I’ve been lucky enough to have been given the Fructis Hair Food Nourishing Banana Shampoo to trial with the conditioner. I have long blonde thick hair and been using this shampoo for a couple of weeks now.
First thing is first... can we talk about the smell?! My gosh!! It smells amazing! I don't even eat bananas but it makes me want to!
It left a delicious scent on my hair, and it's not overpowering. My husband loved the smell and I have received numerous compliments.
Packaging is nice.. it looks like a banana milkshake or smoothie in a bottle.
A little bit goes a long way and it foams up quite nicely. I would purchase this product.
Good shampoo but nothing wow
When I first received this, I expected a lot from it because of what it is called, being a hair food and how it looked. The packaging is very unique and the size is so cute. It smells so good but nothing close to a scent of banana or banana candy. I just thought it would be smelling like that. I like that it is colorless. When I used the shampoo and massaged my head, my hair feels a bit stiff. At the back of my head, I was thinking that my hair may be frizzy without conditioner based on how i’m feeling my hair wet and with the shampoo. But having tried the shampoo and checked my hair after it dried up, I felt the difference instantly. My hair felt clean and soft. I recommend this friends.
Not for me
I had the opportunity to sample the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo as a part of Review Crew. This shampoo smells divine - exactly like bananas, which I love. The packaging is very cute and I found it easy to differentiate between the shampoo and conditioner which I think is a must. The shampoo makes my hair feel and smell quite nice initially however, I found that I was having to wash my hair more frequently as it was becoming oily sooner than usual. However, it is not a bad product for this price point. I really wanted to love this product as I love the smell and the fact that it is vegan. I would still recommend it to others to try however, I probably wouldn't purchase it myself as it is just not suitable for my hair type.
Love the fragrance
I loved the banana fragrance of this shampoo!
I have had drier and frizzier hair than usual since being pregnant but since using this shampoo and the conditioner I have noticed my hair looking healthier and feeling lighter. This bottle goes a long way with only a small amount needed to clean my hair. Love that this shampoo was made with mostly natural ingredients, is vegan and the recyclable packaging, it made me feel like I was being more sustainable using this product. The bottles were so cute! I would recommend for people with dry hair to use this shampoo.
Really love this shampoo!
The Garnier Fructis Hair food Banana Shampoo is one of my new favourite hair products. Not only does leave my hair being nice and soft, my hair is much less frizzy and I can brush my hair without worrying about my hair sticking out.
I pair this product with the hair food banana conditioner and love the results. I wouldn't say I love the smell when using it but I don't hate it and I love the smell of my hair after it's been washed. I also find a little goes a long way and I would be extra careful not to get any shampoo in your eyes as one drop accidentally dripped in my eye and it was sore for hours.
I love that the bottle is made from 50% recycled plastic and that 96% of the ingredients are natural.
I really am impressed with this product from Garnier and definitely recommend it!
Surprisingly pleasant
The smell of this reminded me of summer cocktails as opposed to bananas (which I enjoyed). The smell didn't really linger for me post-shower unfortunately.
For a relatively clean shampoo, it lathers up surprisingly well so a little goes a long way. I found it was pretty lightweight but still provided a good cleanse without further drying it out. I have normal roots to very dry, knotty and frizzy ends. My hair didn't feel particularly nourished where I need it the most (the ends) but the definitely felt more manageable while brushing.
I appreciate that the packaging is recyclable and makes an effort to incorporate recycled material as we all have our parts to play in reducing our footprint.
Overall, having tried quite a few shampoos for my very dry and frizzy hair this falls short in comparison, however I would recommend this to those looking for a good cleanse with mostly sustainable ingredients and a great smell!
Vegan Friendly and Silicone Free!
The packaging is super cute, just like a smoothie bottle and it also smells amazing! It doesn’t have a strong banana smell (which is what I was worried about). The other thing I love about this is that it’s vegan friendly and has no silicone. Only thing I noticed for my dry, long, curly hair was that I had to use a lot more in my first round of shampooing. After that it was super foamy which I loved. It made my hair feel really clean, although I was hoping for more shine and nourishment. Overall decent shampoo.
Hair feels clean, smooth and nourished.
I've been obsessed with the Garnier Fructis Banana Hair Food Mask for years and am happy they have made a shampoo and conditioner as well. I have no problems with the shampoo, a little goes a long way and it lathers easily. My hair feels clean, smooth and nourished after use. The scent is very nice (it isn't as strong as the banana hair mask). I like the shape and compact design of the bottle. I agree with a previous review that the packaging is a little busy, but I can overlook this as it matches the hair mask packaging which I already associate with a product I like. It's a plus that the formula is vegan, 98% natural origin, silicone free and biodegradable. While I like this shampoo and will most likely buy it again, I give it only 4 out of 5 stars because it doesn't WOW me or produce better results compared to other products. It works well and does what it claims.
Not What I Expected
My hair is very dry at the moment so I was excited to try this Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo and the matching Banana Conditioner. I actually own the Banana Hair Mask and adore the smell and conditioning effects it gives so I was hopeful this would be just as good, if not better.
The lid is easy enough to open and I love the shape of the bottle.
It smells exactly like the Banana Hair Mask, a strong banana smell though not the artificial sickly type. It’s perfect and I love smelling it for many hours after washing my hair.
The Shampoo foams up really well and I don’t need much to massage through all my hair which is fairly long.
Unfortunately, using this with the matching Conditioner hasn’t hydrated my hair much at all. It’s no different to any standard shampoo for regular hair. Perhaps my hair is far too dry for this to work or I need something different, but I have definitely tried other shampoos that are more hydrating. I will continue to use it up though and see how my hair is once it’s empty.
Devine smell
When I first received this the smell was so devine I couldn't wait to use it. Unfortunately for my hair this shampoo was a big no no. My hair felt so dry and was so full of knots I could barely brush it. After numerous uses I realized this shampoo is just not for me. My hair felt so dirty and horrible and the only good part was the devine smell. The packaging was not easy to open if your hands are wet and you have no nails. I was so very disappointed in this shampoo. I followed up with the matching conditioner and had no luck. I also tried it with my favorite conditioner and still it didn't work.
Not bad, not amazing
First of all, if you don't like the smell of bananas - you will not like this product period.
Luckily, I love it!
I was surprised by the size of the bottles, they looked a bit small at first glance.
After using the product though I realized it is quite concentrated and you don't need a lot of it at all which is a plus.
I like that it's a vegan formula, the natural design of the label and the fact that it is 100% recyclable is great.
It's an okay product, it does the job as far as a shampoo goes however its not amazing for dry hair in particular and I can't see myself repurchasing.
Better suited to dry hair
I was lucky enough to try the Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo as part of a free trial. When first looking at the packaging of the products I could understand they were going for a juice/smoothie drink look. Not something I would normally gravitate to, perhaps better suited to a younger demographic (I’m in my early 30s). The product it’s smells and feels great. Washes normal as you would expect any shampoo. On day 1 my hair was lovely and shiny and felt clean. My challenge however was my day 2 hair... it was oily and looked like my hair normally does on day 3. For that reason I am giving my review as low. If you have dry hair and not prion to an oily scald this may work better for you.
A little goes a long way
The packaging for this product is so cute. It almost looks like a banana smoothie or something. I like that it is vegan friendly even though I am not vegan, it just makes me happy to know that it is 96% natural origin shampoo. The packaging is also 100% recyclable and made with 50% recycled plastic. I have thick frizzy hair but this shampoo helps smoothen my textured hair and lathers nicely. It doesn't make my hair not feel oily. I find that a little goes a long way, which means the bottle lasts longer than other shampoos. My hair and scalp feels clean and nourished. It has a pleasant smell and very refreshing. Overall, I would recommend this product and would most likely purchase it for myself.
Smells like heaven
This was such a lovely shampoo to use. The first thing you notice is the smell - it is HEAVENLY! It smells like banana but more like a foam banana than an actual fruit. It is sweet and long lasting, I find myself smelling my hair for hours afterwards because it smells so good. I love that this is a vegan formula as well and the fact that Garnier doesn't test on animals further reinforces this. In terms of how my hair felt, it felt clean but not stripped. As a blonde, it is nice to have anything hydrating so this was lovely to use. Highly highly recommend - even for just the smell alone!
