Now it's no secret to the people that know me, that i am a complete sucker for anything that remotely smells like coconut or shea butter, so when i saw this a few weeks back on The Body Shop's website for something crazy like 2.50 (5.50 full price) I thought "Why the hell not!"
This solid oil balm is presented in a cute, perfect for your handbag sized tin, that aims to get rid of those annoying stray hairs.
Now if you're like me, you could spend an hour frying your hair to the point of perfection only to walk out the house for the maximum time of 2.34 seconds before you have hairs sticking up/curling in every direction. This is by no means a miracle cure, but for the price, it does a pretty good job. This little pot of coconutty goodness has been sitting at the bottom of my handbag since it was purchased and is whipped out every now and then just to tame my hair. It's the sort of product i imagine would be better for those with thicker hair, just to run through the ends- yet for the finer haired girls (like me) too much and yes you'll have shiny hair, but not the type you're after.
Pros: It smells great. Lasts ages as you only need the smallest bit. Tames the stray hairs that have a life of their own. It's light and doesn't feel like its weighing your hair down, plus its easily washed out! Oh and it's Cheap!
(Works well in conjunction with their straightening balm - coconut or macadamia)
Cons: Naturally the consistency can be quite greasy so applying it to hair that perhaps hasn't been washed for a couple of days results in a bit of a greasy mess. It's not a miracle worker, and there are better products on the market.
3.5/5
