Review on The Body Shop Olive Glossing Shampoo


For Normal to Dry hair. A gently cleansing, gloss-enhancing shampoo that helps to moisturise and smooth the hair, leaving it shiny and healthy-looking. With regular use, it will help improve the condition of the hair.

Olive leaf extract - Helps add gloss to the hair. Has excellent antioxidant properties that help to protect the hair.

Organic honey - Moisturises and helps condition the hair, aiding combing and adding shine.

Olive Oil
The moisturizing olive oil in our products comes from an area in Italy that has produced olives since the middle ages. The Nuovo Cilento Co-operative formed as a result of people abandoning the land to seek work elsewhere. In a remarkable story of success over adversity, the co-operative has gone from strength to strength, cutting out the middle-man to sell their organically produced olive oil directly, maximizing their profit and so preserving their traditional way of life. Every product you buy containing Community Traded olive oil further helps the community and local environment.

Organic Honey
From Zambia. Helps protect and preserve the forest as well as providing necessary income for the beekeepers, an increasing number of which are now women.

I bought both the conditioner and the shampoo together last year, during one of The Body Shop sales but I always used up the conditioner much faster than the shampoo.

Despite rave reviews from many ladies, this is not a shampoo which I will purchase again. It leaves my hair rough  ( not tangle-free) and dry. I do find it difficult to comb through, just using my fingers.
The lather is not too much which suits me just fine and the scent is also alright.
Using a conditioner after the shampoo made the hair much softer and manageable though I do not see much shine on the hair.

This olive shampoo is my first TBS product I bought. :) I love it! The scent's unique until I really want to lick it sometimes...

It foams mildly and the result's satisfying for me.

But I stopped using this shampoo since I found out that it has more than 1 kind of parabens.
