Advantages: Smooth hair, shine and lovely smell

Disadvantages: A tad expensive if used every day

As a bit of a 'Body Shop' obsessive, I must admit a great deal of bias here, but I adore the Macadamia Straightening Balm. Although I don't straighten my hair an awful lot, when the inevitable special occasion arises and my hair has decided to take on the characteristics of the 'Hair Bear Bunch' this stuff comes in handy!

It is rather expensive but the price is offset by how economical it is - a small blob in my hand covered my shoulder length hair of average thickness. As it is a fairly large bottle it should last for quite a while too.

The balm is very easy to use, just a small blob rubbed into your hair, and it does not make the straighteners emit that disconcerting burning smell. Once in the hair, it does leave a rather nice, not overly nutty, smell too.

Overall, it makes straightening easier, and gives a smooth finish with a hint of shine afterwards. Definately one to be recommended to your friends, although only on a flush day.

Summary: Recommended - but only on payday
