Garnier Hair Food Repairing Papaya for Damaged Hair

This is a great product for when my hair gets very dry. It’s super easy to use, I just smooth it on after shampooing and leave for a few minutes and rinse. It has he most delicious fragrance and makes my hair smell amazing and after using this my hair is so easy to style and feels really soft and silky and it’s so much shinier. This is a great leave in conditioner for winter as it helps repair damage and hydrates my hair. At $12.00 it’s great value for money and I only need to use it once a week. An added bonus for me is that it also helps control frizz, I have very thick hair so this extra moisture makes my hair so much more manageable. I really like garnier products and I love this papaya hair food. I would recommend it

First things first - it smells amazing...no wait delicious - yes that's word... just want to gobble it up like fro-yo delicious. That was also the reason the reason why I purchased this product and after every use my hair have the same deeelliicciiiooouuusss fragrance to, unless/until I put another layer of hair styling product. But unfortunately fragrance is all I have to say about this in terms of plus points. While it has right kind of texture and applies easily, it either ends up doing nothing or bit too much. Here is how all my various experiments with this product has worked out so far - Apply on dry hair (yup impatient me couldn't just wait till next wash)- feels smooth for two minutes but then get absorbed or dry up - in any case hair goes back to feeling dry with bit of weight. Apply as conditioner - alright result but not as effective as much usual conditioner. Leave in - nopes, not doing that again, too heavy for that. Hair mask as directed but I kept it for 5 minutes vs as advised for 1 minute - initially I was impressed but that oohh la la smoothness barely lasted for half day before the dryness returned. Hair mask - as before wash an with hot towel treatment - after the wash and using my usual conditioner this one actually showed good results but none of that delicious fragrance was left :/ So over all, I am going to use it up as hair mask with hot towel treatment but don't think will be buying it again...which is sad cause I'm really going to miss the tropical smell of it.
