    Hmmm Im wondering if this shampoo is sulfate free because my hair does not respond well to it. It cleanses well, it just strips the moisture from my hair, like all sulfate free shampoos do. It has...

    I have loved this shampoo for years! It smells amazing, cleans great and is moisturizing. For even better results follow up with the Banana Conditioner which is also amazing! 2 thumbs up!

    This shampoo really does clean your hair - but it cleansed it TOO good, it stripped all the oil out of my hair leaving my hair frizzy, dry, and unhealthy looking, it acted more like a "once a week...

    This shampoo is fabulous, my hair feels softer when I use it. The best part about it is the smell - it smells like pure bananas! If you don't like bananas I doubt you would like this shampoo :)

    I like the shampoo, just like the conditioner. What I like best is the smell. It also works great. I like the honey shampoo better, but I this is also a nice shampoo.

    I bought this because I absolutely ADORE bananas, so I fell in love with the scent in the store. Unfortunately it did nothing whatsoever for my hair, after washing it it was dry and tangled up. It...

    Smelling this in the store made me want to throw up! both the smell and consistency reminded me of the thick banana flavoured medicine my mother gave me when I was sick as a kid. Blech!...

    The banana shampoo and conditioner is back on the shelves here in Sweden for a limited time. For me, the scent reminds me of childhood. My father once got this for me as a child, since I hated...

    TBS must bring this shampoo back!!! It's really one of a kind. I would pay twice or 3X its price if I could still get it. I've always had a great hair day with this shampoo. This is THE BEST...

    Of all the shampoos I've ever used on my straight, fine, Asian hair, which is neither oily nor dry but lacks volume, The Body Shop's Banana Shampoo was the best. It was noticeably softer and...

    After a year of use, I still find this shampoo to be satisfyingly 'nourishing' (as the name claims) for my thick, coarse hair. Because I don't wash my hair everyday -- as that'd be damaging and...

    The banana smell is quite pleasant, but this and the conditioner dried out my hair and made it really flyaway and frizzy.
