Palmer's Hair Food Formula

Product Overview

Palmer’s Hair Food Formula is described by the brand as a nutrient‑rich balm/cream for hair and scalp. It features a blend of essential oils, vitamins (A, D, E) and proteins, formulated to soften and condition the hair and scalp and to restore sheen to dull, lifeless hair. In many markets it is the 150 g size (for example product listings for 150 g).  

So essentially: this is a treatment‑style product (rather than ordinary conditioner) aimed at nourishment and shine.

Why Choose This Product?

Here are some reasons you might pick this product:

• If your hair feels dry, lacks shine, or is hard to manage and you want a treatment product rather than just a basic conditioner.
• If you want a product that addresses both hair and scalp, since many conditioners ignore the scalp.
• If you prefer a brand that’s been around and offers treatment‑type solutions (Palmer’s has history).
• If you are looking for something relatively affordable but still offering vitamins + proteins + oils.
• If you style your hair often (heat styling, chemical treatments, colouring) and want a “finisher” or boost product to restore sheen.

However, there are some things to note:

• If your hair is very fine or easily weighed down, a rich balm/cream may feel heavy or leave residue; you’d want to use sparingly.
• If you have oily scalp, applying too much product (especially to scalp) may make hair greasy. Indeed, one user on Reddit noted:

“Friend said to apply it after wash, but it makes my hair super greasy!” 

• It is not a replacement for a deep treatment mask if your hair is severely damaged; rather it is a mid‑level “hair food/treatment” product.
• Always check that you are buying authentic product, as imported variants may vary and prices may be higher in India.
