This. Is. My. Fave. I will never live without this product from this day forward. BR sent me this bundle of absolute banana coconut joy and I was so excited to try it that I opened it up and popped a small amount on my ends straight away in the office. I also walked around my entire time begging everyone to smell the tropical banana delight - much to their excitement.
The smell is simply delicious. Like banana fruit bursts - sweet and yummy. You have to remind yourself not to eat it. The glossiness is great. It doesn't feel oily or heavy but my ends feel healthier than they have in a very long time. My hair is also looking shiner and healthier as well, which just has to happen from shea butter and coconut oil.
This is a true winner for me and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to try it. It's one that I will continue to buy for sure - and maybe even try out the Goji or Papaya scents if they smell as incredible as this one.
It does feel a little bit off scooping it out of the container because it feels like you're whacking on a handful of Body Shop Body Butter but you get used to that.
I have used it in all three formats suggested - as a conditioner, as a mask and as a leave in. And over the course of a week my hair is feeling glossy, healthy and smelling incredible.
Perfect fit in the Fructis product range - the fragrance is so delicious its hard not to get a spoon and dig in! It comes in a generous 390ml tub, attractive packaging and is 98% natural ingredients. Its got no silicones or parabens and I love that its got coconut oil, shea butter and olive oil - some of my favourite natural products. So I have long, blonde highlighted hair and Im super particular about products and care. First use of this - great texture, easy to apply and rince. Needless to say my hair smelt amazing afterwards! Texture wise it was ok - definitely not as silky as usual though. My daughter on the other hand has dark, non coloured curly hair and after she gave it a go is totally sold. Her hair looks glossy and healthy and the fragrace lingers in her hair for days! So we will definitely keep it as a staple for her - after we try the other treatments in the range. Next couple of washes I used it as a treatment and my hair was a better texture afterwards rather than using it just as a conditioner. And as a sidenote - Ive been using it as a body lotion..its great! Only need a little pea sized amount for arms, lather it on and good to go. Skin feels soft and slightly silky. Overall I would recommend- its a great all rounder.
Tips: Better as a treatment - I left it generously coated in damp hair for 30 minutes while in the bath.
