    It's a shame this product appears to be discontinued, because it's quite a good shampoo. I picked mine up in one of those summer mega-sales, and found it to be a great shampoo for dry, thick hair....

    This is a great product, especially for banana lovers. I do have to be careful because it does make my hair oily at the roots yet soft at the ends.

    I got a bottle of the Banana Shamppo on a 1/2 price deal at the Body Shop. <br> It smells nice - and seems to actually contain banana pulp, however the product did not seem to really cleanse the...

    I did not like this or the conditioner. They seemed to make my hair dry. I do like the scent though.

    Bought it at The Body Shop Sale in England a few months back. Got a small little 'sample' bottle for 2 pounds. NO effect whatsoever! None! NADA!

    I love everything about this shampoo! I've been using it for 2 weeks now, and my hair has never been softer.

    Smells nice, cleans my hair. Somehow it seems to make my hair too soft - sort of dull. If The Body Shop discontinued all their other shampoos, or if this was half price, I would buy it again.

    I love it too! It has a very nice smell and it's a rather thick shampoo which makes a lot of foam (I like that) and it's easy to rinse. It makes my hear nice and soft.

    Love, love, LOVE this line. I have dry, thick hair and this shampoo is the only one I've tried that leaves it feeling clean AND restored. The conditioner is great too.

    Heaven! The banana scent is just a must-smell. You'll never want to stop washing your hair ^_^;; I found myself smelling my hair all day long and the scent kept in it for a few days.

    Great smelling shampoo, but this leaves my natural curls feeling like a tangled mess of straw! I must pass on this one, but I'm sure it's fine for someone with thinner and straighter hair which...

    I love this product. I've used it on and off for so long, probably 8 years (that's gotta be a record!). It's the ONLY banana shampoo (or banana anything for that matter) that I've found to smell...

    This smells great! Really banana, not artifical at all. And it doesn't cost the earth. Cleans fine, smells great, that's all I need to repurchase this.

    Great Shampoo; moisturizes, but doesn't flatten. It smells yummy and isn't ridiculously expensive. Update: scalp itchy, doesn't rinse well, oh well, back to the drawing board

    The very first time I tried this product, my hair turned ultra soft and fine. It was great! However, the effect wasn't that obvious after using it for a while. Guess it's because my hair was...

    I was so glad to see that this shampoo was back at Body Shop. I tried this many years ago and I remembered that I liked it so I wanted to have it again. It's good for my dry hair. Smells great...
