Garnier Fructis Hair Food Shampoo Bar – Banana

I love the idea of the product, however after using it for the first time it just didn’t lather over my hair very well. i have fairly thick hair and it just didn’t reach my roots as much as the liquid shampoo does. i also noticed after blows drying and straightening as per usual, my hair was still left looking and feeling greasy. i usually shampoo twice and only out conditioner on my roots and i did the same with the bar but it just doesn’t seem to get my hair as clean as i’d like it too. the idea behind the product is amazing but i wouldn’t recommend if your hair gets greasy easily.

Hair food 2 in 1 has an Amazing scent, I could smell it through the box before opening it, we were very excited to try this, Both myself and my son liked using the banana hair food and will be buying this more regularly. It’s a great product and was easy to wash my 4 year olds hair and made our hair smell and feel great. Hair food made my hair feel fantastic, I wish I knew about this product sooner. I love that the shampoo bar is a simple way to wash hair, is free from chemicals and smells amazing all in one bar of soap. It’s really helped my dry hair become less dry and feel amazing again.

The Garnier Whole Blends banana shampoo / conditioner are possibly my all time favorite shampoo / conditioner, so I was so excited to see them come out with a banana shampoo bar! For me, it works just as well as the regular shampoo - it smells great, is easy to use and lathers well, and keeps my hair clean for a satisfactory amount of time. Plus, this shampoo bar doesn’t cause any tangles in my hair, unlike some other shampoo bars that I’ve tried. My hair is bum length, so this soap goes relatively quick even when not using it on the full length of my hair. It seems one bar will likely last me 3-4 weeks using it 2-3 times a week. Based on this, it might still be cheaper for me to get the regular liquid shampoo, but I love this just as much. I’ll definitely come back to it later, especially for traveling!

I have never used a shampoo bar instead of normal shampoo liquide. It was a very exceling and new experience. First thing that hits you is the amazing smell of the product. I did not think it smell exactly like banana but close enough. Overall the smell was lovely. Once using it,, it was easily to apply and use. Afterwards my hair felt soft and smell lovely. The only down side is how do you store the bar after using it. I stored it on the soap holder but it went everywhere. Therefore I felt like i wasted a lot of the product

The idea behind this product it self is great having used no plastic since that's the way the world is heading The shampoo bar didn't seem to work amazing for me I have very normal sometimes dry ends but I found this to dry my hair out and make it a tangle mess I love the idea but it isn't for me I find it very hard to find a shampoo and conditioner that actually work for my hair even though I have a normal hair type alot of products dry my hair out or make it very oily and this product did that the smell is nice but the bar does seem like a normal soap bar does shrink and start to crack like soap

It smells absolutely delicious and I have loved the concept, this product worked very well with my hair, and has been getting me so many compliments of how well it shone and smelt after every use! I Will definitely be wanting to buy it again! It Made me feel summery and put me in an instantly good mood !! I Felt refreshed and the bar lasted ages!! I have since recommended this product to a tonne of friends, colleagues and family members, who have gone on to buy it themselves and are also highly impressed :) I can’t wait to buy more of this and use it all over again :)

Thanks Beauty Crew for sending this product for trial! The shampoo bar presented an interesting concept that is environmentally friendly too. I also used this product while travelling to Melbourne, thus saving me the worry of having to carry extra weight in the form of a shampoo bottle. While this product is easy to carry and use, my hair felt rather drier upon first time use. I believe this may have been also attributable to the change of weather we are currently experiencing with winter conditions taking place. Following further uses, I felt my hair was cleaned well and also remained grease free for up to 2 days. I do recommend using a conditioner in order to restore the moisture and hydration in hair.

Tried this Garnier Fructis Banana Hair Food shampoo bar as part of beauty crew team and quite like it. Love that this product has zero plastic waste! They Made my hair feel soft and smooth, and the smell is incredible. I was hesitant at first to use it as I don’t want my hair to smell like banana but at the end i still give it a chance to use and no regret! The only minus from this product for me is leaving a residue/ abit of chunck after use so i have to make sure i clean my hair properly and its taking a bit longer time than my usual bath time. Great for travel as you don't need to worry about leaking bottles!

I received the garnier fructis banana hair food shampoo bar as part of the beauty crew trials. I was very interested to try this product as I never knew they made anything like this. I love that it is zero plastic waste and is packed in the cardboard box just like a normal soap bar. The product has a delicious scent like fruity banana smell, smells good enough to eat! It lathers really well and I can imagine the bar will last for a long while, much longer than a bottle of shampoo/ conditioner. I really wanted to like this product as I would gladly swap from bottles to shampoo bar to minimise plastic waste, but I found my hair just wasn’t as thoroughly clean as normal. One thing I will say is I would buy this again for travelling. It takes up far less space them bigger bulky bottles, wouldn’t leak, and you don’t have to worry about the liquid on flights. So I would recommend for this reason.

I have very thick wavey hair and because of this I have never tried a shampoo bar before. It did take a bit if work to get enough lather in my hands to create enough product for my type of hair but when I did it gave a great clean feeling. The banana scent is quite strong when lathering but it leave a nice subtle scent after rinsing. After conditioning my hair it felt clean and soft and I could continue with my usual routine of washing my hair twice a week without any greasey build up that can come with some shampoos. I love that the product cuts down on plastic waste and is made from plant based products. I would definitely recommend this product alongside a great thorough conditioner.

Thank you for introducing me to this shampoo bar, it’s my first shampoo bar I have ever tried. I don’t know what to expect. PACKAGING: simple small paper box, no extra plastic wastes, Eco-friendly, good for the environment. I’ve been searching for an alternative solution to reduce plastic wastes, and I supporting all beauty companies taking their moves. I’d love to see other coming with better packaging solution. TEXTURE: solid block of soap like other body soap on the market but this one is for the hair. It has a slightly banana scent, very refreshing. ABOUT ME: I’ve oily long straight, fine hair, no coloring, sometimes flaky. When I use it, I wet my hair first then I wet the soap to create a layer of foam, just enough to wash my hair. I find it’s effective on my hair as my normal liquid shampoo. I use the same range of banana conditioner/mask after washing to de-tangle my hair. This small bar will last up to a few months, because you can control the amount of foam, and you just need a little bit. After used, you let the bar air dry as normal on the rack. I highly recommended this bar to everyone because I personally loved it so much and likely to repurchase it.

This Shampoo is eco friendly with its no plastic packaging and has less wastage as none gets stuck in the bottle. I love the idea of being eco friendly and try to buy products like this to support the environment. On to the testing I found that the shampoo was a bit drying for my hair as I already have dry frizzy hair so if i used it on its own it wasnt any good for my particular hair but when i paired it with the garnier fructis bannana hair mask my hair came out nice and silky smooth. With the two together my hair has felt better than it has in a long time. I struggle normally to brush my hair if it is not wet and have conditioner in it but after using these products for a week I can brush my hair anytime. I love the banana fruity smell which I noticed does last a long time in my hair so I can smell it most of the day. I would definitely recommend this product for an almost salon feel to your hair.

Smelt amazing but found it made my hair feel itchy and not as clean. The smell was incredible though and my partner has been using it in his beard and finds the product great for that. The product just may not have agreed with my hair hence why it felt itchy. Was very easy to apply which was nice and surprising as I thought the bar of soap shape would make it difficult. I was thankful to try the product as I had been curious for awhile but don't think I would continue using it or purchase it myself. I did notice that it made my hair shinier but once again it just didn't feel as clean and made my head quite itchy. I reccomend to give it a go as everyone is different and it works great on beards apparently! Haha

The Banana Garnier Fructis Hair Food Shampoo Bar works just as well as any shampoo. I love that the packaging is more environmentally friendly than regular shampoo bottles. But the real selling point is the smell! It smells amazing and it’s so strong! I absolutely love it. The only negative thing I have to say is that it gets cracks like a regular bar of soap does, but that’s only a very minor/cosmetic thing. I would definitely recommend this product, as you will help reduce plastic waste, and because it will leave your hair smelling absolutely incredible.

The Garnier Fructis Hair Food Shampoo Bar - Banana came as a pleasant surprise. I won’t lie that I was apprehensive to get a shampoo bar for the first time. The 94% plant-based ingredients that are made with 100% FSC recyclable cardboard packaging, meaning there is no plastic waste is so important with daily items such as shampoos which I tend to run through. The product itself had a lovely not over baring scent and with a bit of water created a great lather for ease of application. Only thing I’m unsure about is the amount of washes you can get out of it. After the first couple of washes my bar as dramatically shrunk. The portion control is slightly harder to manager with a bar than a pumped bottle solution. Guess I’ll have to wait and see on that!

The Garnier Fructis Hair Food 2-in-1 Shampoo Bar – Nourishing Banana is a nice solid shampoo bar. It was easy to use and it sudsed up well. The shampoo bar has a nice fruity scent that stayed on my hair after rinsing and blow-drying it. The shampoo bar left my hair feeling kind of smooth and easy to brush, even when I did not use a conditioner after washing my hair with the shampoo bar. Garnier shampoo bars come in small cardboard boxes so there is zero plastic waste. One Garnier shampoo bar is equivalent to two 250ml bottles of shampoo. The Garnier Fructis Hair Food 2-in-1 Shampoo Bar – Nourishing Banana is a decent shampoo bar that I would recommend to someone wanting to try out solid shampoo bars.

I’ve tried the shampoo bar for a few weeks and found the banana shampoo bar smells AMAZING, I love that it’s eco friendly packaging, but it leaves my hair feeling extremely dry and just out of control. I have frizzy hair, so I’m not sure how it would go on straight hair. I wouldn’t recommend it on hair that is curly or frizzy because it made it unmanageable. The application of the bar is difficult to and as much as it smelt good, and it’s eco friendly, I’ve found I would prefer a shampoo bottle for ease of use and convenience. I wouldn’t personally purchase the product for myself but I definitely say if you have straight hair and don’t mind a bit of application time if you have long hair, then definitely try it.

The Garnier Fructis Hair Food Shampoo Bar Banana smells delicious! It comes in a little cardboard box which eliminates a tonne of plastic usually encountered in haircare products. It is such a great idea to eliminate excess packaging and provide a sustainable solution. I was a little unsure about using a soap for my hair but it certainly was easy enough to use and it seems to go a long way. The bar made my hair feel soft and clean, but most of all smelt amazing. My hair afterwards was quite smooth and soft. I felt as if it was effective and will continue using the bar.

I was really excited to try the Garnier Fructis Hair Shampoo Bar as I've wanted to try a shampoo bar for ages as I want to get more and more green with the items I am purchasing and using. The scent was probably the biggest downfall as I felt it lingered a tiny bit too long. I'd love a mint or green tea scent and hope they extend the range. Its great that its vegan friendly, dermatologically tested and biodegradable too. This way more people can use it and its better for the earth. The product itself I found pretty easy to use once I got the hang off it. For reference, I have shoulder length thin hair that's dyed pink right now. It washed out easily and didn't leave a residue. I'll definitely continue using it and am looking forward to trying different scents.

Love this! This shampoo smells amazing. This is perfect for me and my partner, it lathers amazingly and goes a long way. My hair feels super clean and shiny. Downside is my hair does get a bit frizzy and dry with this and my hair gets greasier quicker which means I am washing it much more than usual. I love the idea of no plastic bottles as I'm trying to implement more sustainable beauty items. My partner loves this so much and he doesn't use have a bottle, perfect for kids as well. I think this is a great basic shampoo for the whole family but nothing special in terms of hair care. The smell is so good and I'll be getting the leave in conditioner. But while the idea is great the formula isnt great. I have long curly hair, so just getting the product into my hair was a chore. It definitely wasn't as hydrating and nourishing as I was expecting it to be. I will not be using this product again due to my thick hair. However, this product would suit thinner hair.
