I will add to all the praise of the straightening miracle! My hair is naturally very fine but wavey (including cow licks!) and so requires a lot of but is very prone to frazzling and split-ends! In the past I have used several heat protection spritz sprays that are applied to dry hair always left my hair feeling plastic-y, dry and in spite of what i assumed, it was difficult to aim the product to evenly coat my hair. The Body Shop's macadamia balm puts an end to this difficulty. It works much like a leave in conditioner and is best applied to towel dried/damp hair (apply to dry hair and you're likely to be left with a bit of residue). I ...  Read the complete review

The Body Shop Macadamia Straightening Balm Description: Brand: The Body Shop / Hair Care Type: / A heat-activated and humidity-resistant, lightwieght balm, straightens hair for a smooth silky finish free from kinks and frizz!

Here I am going to review a product that has been sold by the body shop for the last few years. It is the Body shops Macadamia straightening spray. I have become obsessed with my hair straighteners over the last six years and I am never ever known to leave the house with out my hair sleek and straight.

As my hair has become overstressed over the past few years, I always like products that help protect my hair. I have tried many straightening and heat protector sprays over the years and this is one that really stands ...  Read the complete review

*****Introduction***** I have never really straightened my hair as I have a nice natural wave that is very easy to maintain and keep tidy, the reason I have never really straightened my hair is because it is very time consuming and it goes curly within minutes of leaving the house on a damp day. So when I went to a friends body shop at home party I was less than impressed when I got given a sample of this Macadamia straightening balm, as I didn't straighten my hair enough to warrant using a product like this. I have since washed and straightened my hair so I could review this product and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised at how ...  Read the complete review

I used to straighten my hair every single day in a battle against frizz, but recently I've relaxed this as my hair's getting a bit longer. However I still do straighten it sometimes and for this I need a product to protect my hair from the heat and, if possible, help to straighten my hair. This Macadamia Straightening Balm from The Body Shop seemed to fit the bill. I buy a lot of products from this shop, mainly because of their fantastic discount codes and offers. This product costs £7 which I feel is very reasonable anyway when you think of similar products sold in stores such as Boots. However I think I paid about £3-£4 for it using a discount code, which is ...  Read the complete review
