My Experience With TBS Banana Shampoo:

This was the first time I had used any product from The Body Shop. All these years, I have read a lot of good reviews about this brand, especially their hair cleansers. So finally, last year I took a plunge and purchased this shampoo. If you remember my August 2016 haul, it was part of that haul. I didn’t buy its partner, banana conditioner and used it with my other favourite conditioners.



As all of you know that I experiment a lot with hair cleansers, so how could this be left behind 😁 I tried out this cleanser with different conditioners and in various ways, so that I can find out what’s actually so great about it 😶

My findings are as follows-  
                                                   
When used with my favourite TNC Nori Hair Conditioner:
Post wash, I took a good amount of Nori conditioner into my palm and applied liberally on the dry hair ends. With this conditioner, I must admit that it worked really well but something was missing, SHINE & LUSTRE EFFECT! Despite being natural products, both the shampoo and the conditioner are enough to make your hair look soft and bouncy. Though, with the chemical-laden deep conditioners, you would get a super soft, silky-wilky hair. But remember, that would cost you HAIRLOSS for sure. Since I have not tried it with its partner banana conditioner, not sure if they together would work like magic!


When used on Oily Hair:
I regularly oil my hair and on the day of shampooing, I don’t use conditioners afterwards. So, basically, you need to apply a copious amount of this hair cleanser for hair wash. Sometimes, I had to apply the double amount of this hair cleanser to get rid of all the oiliness from my hair at one go. Nevertheless, the after effect was quite amazing; bouncy, softer hair is all you get😊 

When used alone:
This shampoo is basically for thin and limp hair beauties. The job of this cleanser is to provide you with squeaky clean, lustrous and voluminous hair. To be honest, I feel that it is not made for all hair types😞 Although, it thoroughly cleansed my hair, I felt it made my frizzy hair ends more rough and parched. So for dry hair, it has to be combined with deep conditioners or leave-in conditioners, but don’t miss any!

If not used with conditioners, it worsens the hair condition, making hair more dry, frizzy and brittle. However, this cleanser is a boon for oily, limp and thin hair beauties. It adds volume and bounce to the hair, which looks excellent. Regarding hair fall, it didn't help me either😭 It doesn’t produce much lather and smells exactly of banana fruit (so tempting 😋). The texture is also quite similar to the fruit, a soft & mousse, but when mixed with water, a pale yellow liquid solution is formed.



If you use apple cider vinegar as the last rinse, you will get an amazing result! Got Soft, silky and nourished hair every time, I used this trick. Try this method 😉

Although I haven’t tried this cleanser with banana conditioner, the shampoo alone provided me with a clean scalp and refreshed hair. It worked amazingly when combined with apple cider vinegar or any deep conditioner.

  13. This is one of my favorite shampoos and i use it with its partner banana conditioner, it works better that way..you are right it can make hair dry if used on non oiled hair and not followed up with conditioner, specially in chilly dry weather... Initially j didn't like it because it made my hair detox of chemicals and then after that phase my hair were lively volumenous and all good things :).
    Do give it a second chanve and this time with banana conditioner..and buy them in sale ;) i do :D

  14. I have thin and limp straight hair and this shampoo tends to turn my hair a little in between wavy and curly and really very very frizzy and honestly it looks really bad.
