Dry/damaged/chemically treated hair
What Do I Think?
These two products have sat languishing in my beauty stash for probably over 2 years *ducks head in shame*, so I thought it high time to use them up! First off, the smell is delicious, with strong aromas of honey and brazil nuts, giving it a sweet but not cloying scent that lingers in the hair. I really wanted to like these products, however, despite seeming well suited to my hair type and requirements {dry, damaged AND chemically treated}, they just don't perform well enough in my opinion. The shampoo is creamy but lacks substance, and I had to use a LOT of product to get any form of decent lather with which to wash my hair efficiently. It seriously tangled my hair beyond belief, leaving the conditioner a pretty tough job to follow, and actually exacerbating the breakage and splitting that it claims to prevent. The conditioner is thicker and feels more nourishing, but needed the help of a wide toothed comb to work through the knots. My hair was left soft and feeling 'healthy', however it was so flat, static and quite difficult to style {baring in mind I don't do much to it}. After a few days of daily use I noticed that my hair seemed lacklustre and dull, but once I used another of my shampoo and conditioner duos it's vibrancy and shine returned. Normally products aimed at dry, damaged or chemically treated hair work relatively well for me, but I was shocked at how badly these performed.
Where Are They Available?
The Body Shop products are available instore and online.
How Much Do They Cost?
These are 400ml each, but I can't actually find them on the website, so perhaps they are discontinued.
Would I Recommend Them?
Sadly not, no. To me these products under perform significantly, and leave my hair less than desirable. If it were based on smell alone I'd love them...!

I genuinely find body shop overpriced & not that good, maybe that's just me? Helpful post :)
