Banana is the reason this shampoo exists. It carries potassium, natural oils, carbohydrates and vitamins, and in a cleanser that translates into hair coming out soft rather than stripped.

Coconut rounds out the scent and the conditioning. The formula is 98% natural origin, vegan and free from silicones, so nothing is coating the hair to fake the smoothness. Dry, dull and frizzy hair is the target, and the shine that comes back is the hair's own.

It lathers well for a silicone free formula, which is usually where these shampoos fall down. Lather, rinse, and follow with a conditioner or a mask from the same range if your hair is very dry. The banana scent is the part people either love or find too sweet, so it is worth knowing before you commit to 350 ml.

Application tips

Wet the hair properly first. Thirty seconds under the water beats any amount of extra shampoo. A ten-pence blob is enough for the scalp on most heads, and the scalp is the only place it needs to go. If you wear braids or twists, dilute a little in a bottle with water and squeeze it along the parts instead of trying to work a thick lather in.

Results

The hair comes out cleaner than a co-wash and softer than a clarifying shampoo, which is the gap this one fills. Frizz is less obvious once the hair dries because the cuticle has not been roughed up by the wash itself. Dull lengths pick up a little light again. Dense curls do not feel stripped at the ends, and second-day hair is easier to refresh with water alone.
