BEAUTYcrew Beauty Editor / April 12 2021

The product

No matter your hair type, there’s something to benefit everyone when making the switch to a natural haircare formula. Whether you’re all about that no-nasties life or just want to help out good ol’ Mother Earth, natural products give you the option to enjoy a clear conscience as well as great hair.

Garnier Hair Food Shampoo & Conditioner delivers potent, naturally-derived ingredients in combination with hardworking formulas so you can serve looks without a sweat. 

There’s Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Conditioner for smoothing and taming dry, unmanageable lengths, while Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Conditioner delivers lasting nourishment to dry strands. Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera Conditioner tackles a lack of hydration without adding unnecessary moisture back into your hair (think: no greasy ends), and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner gives hair that extra boost of volume for that covetable va-va-voom look.

Here’s what our panel of Review Crew® testers had to say about these naturally-powered hair care offerings.

The panel

Beauty Crew employed the help of a panel of women aged 18 to 35 to try Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Conditioner for smoothing dry and unruly hair; Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Conditioner to nourish dry hair; Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera Conditioner to help hydrate normal to dry hair types, and  Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner for volumising fine hair.

The lowdown

Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the Garnier Hair Food Shampoo & Conditioner range.

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera Conditioner: Our members loved how lightweight and gentle the aloe range was on their strands, leaving their hair feeling soft, smooth and easy to manage.

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner: Buh-bye Frizz! Well, at least that’s what you can look forward to once you introduce this set to your shower, according to our Review Crew members.

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Conditioner: Our members loved that flyways didn’t even have the opportunity to rear their ugly head after using this duo, thanks to the nourishing addition of bananas.

Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Shampoo and Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Conditioner: Dry hair meets its match with this macadamia-infused formula. Our members loved the sleek, hydrated finish this pair gave their hair.

The verdict

“[Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera Shampoo is] so light and easy to apply. As I have long hair I have to use a generous amount to give my hair a good clean. Easy to lather up and once I wash it out, leaves my hair feeling light and smooth (I perspire quite significantly due to my job and even after my hair being excessively oily it feels amazing!).”

This [Garnier Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera Conditioner] smells amazing… It makes my hair super soft and easy to brush and style. But my favourite thing is the divine smell! So fresh and nice! And I like the smooth texture that makes it easy to pour out of the bottle. I would recommend this conditioner. So fresh and nice!”

“[Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo is] a great new product by Garnier - it's vegan, no nasties and in an eco-friendly bottle, but most importantly it does a great job! It foams really well and my fine hair felt silky and looked healthy after every wash. It's a refreshing scent that does not linger like other chemical-filled products and it rinses out easily leaving no residue.”

“For someone like myself who has very fine thin hair, I was pleasantly surprised that this [Garnier Fructis Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner] worked so well! I found that when using both the accompanying shampoo and conditioner from this line my hair was super voluminous without any frizz yet still so silky smooth after I had blow-dried it!”

“The Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Shampoo is one of my new favourite hair products. Not only does it leave my hair nice and soft, my hair is much less frizzy and I can brush my hair without worrying about my hair sticking out… I love that the bottle is made from 50% recycled plastic and that 96% of the ingredients are natural.”

“I found that using [Garnier Fructis Hair Food Banana Conditioner] left my frizzy and dry hair feeling nourished and looking shiny. I liked the thick formula and found my hair detangled easier and felt nourished when I applied this conditioner to the mid lengths and the ends. I am a little obsessed with the banana fragrance and received some compliments from people about my hair smelling lovely. I liked that it is made with 98% natural products and that the bottles are recyclable. I would recommend this product to people who have dry hair.”

“I liked how [Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Shampoo] lathered in my hair, distributed evenly all over, and rinsed out well. I actually have quite dry hair along with a lot of flyaways, but I felt it helped just that little bit, my hair just felt smoother and more manageable which I loved.”

“[Garnier Fructis Hair Food Macadamia Conditioner is] simply a miracle product, which works great on my hair. I have got thin long and frizzy hair and style very frequently... and yes, it has made my hair less dry and less frizzy. I would 100% recommend this product to everybody. It is a non-greasy formula and makes hair very soft and more manageable after every wash.”

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven.
