Review - Bodyshop coconut oil hair shine



I bought this because I heard that coconut oil has very good properties for enhancing the condition of dry hair.   It smells like real coconuts with a creamy scent involved too, I do like this scent and it is quite strong but wears out within a few hours. The texture is like a thick paste that has been pressed so I just scoop a little out between my fingertips and rub until it turns into an oil. I like putting this through my hair at just then ends to help lock in my curls. I would not add this near the roots because it is likely to cause greasyness lol! All in all I like this as a finishing product for curly hair.

Review - Bodyshop banana conditioner


The best part about this product is the scent - its so fruity and even though I don't particularly relish bananas this smell is wonderful! Its like a fruity mix including bananas! Even though the size of the product is not that great you only need a little for it to work. I found that for my hair its particularly good to use once in a while when I have used a lot of styling products, this helps remove all that residue left over after shampoo. I use it after swimming to moisturise my hair since it gets extremely dry after being in the pool for some time. I will continue to love this product for years to come :) Try it out !

Review - Pantene pro-V colour seal concentrate


This is targeted to be a deep conditioning treatment for hair that has been coloured and also to help maintain the colour. I was quite disappointed in that it just felt like a normal conditioner and after I dyed my hair I didn't notice it holding in my colour all that much either. Also it is a very small amount of product that you get, which could be useful for travel but as far as use for medium-long hair it is quite little. Smells nice just like most pantene products but overall I would pass on it in my opinion.
