The Body Shop Nettle Oil Balance Shampoo

When the time came for a new shampoo a few weeks ago, I decided not to try a Lush shampoo as I thought they might be a little unusual and not what I wanted so I turned to their nemesis The Body Shop thinking they would be just like all the shampoos I have used in the past so not much of a change. My hair is past my shoulder blades and very thick. The ends are very dry due to the abuse that my hair has been put through with me doing home colours and even home highlights. I haven't put any chemical dyes on it since May 2006 now and only use henna to put colour in to hide my greys. My roots are the opposite to my ends, after a day of not washing they are greasy! ...  Read the complete review

I was given a free sample of shampoo and conditioner in The Body Shop last week from their new hair care range, shampoos powered by natural ingredients. I've had bad experiences with shampoo from both Body Shop and Lush in the past so was a bit wary of trying this, but when I'd used the sachet I was back to the store *the next day* to buy a whole bottle of the stuff. The sample I was given happened to be the Nettle variety which is for normal to oily hair types, now whereas I haven't really got oily hair I do wash it every day (sometimes twice) because it feels greasy sometimes even if it doesn't look it. The shampoo is oil free and contains a ...  Read the complete review

Many, many years ago, as a school kid and when The Body Shop was über-cool I fell in love with their mint shampoo. A nostalgic moment found me back in The Body Shop only to find that the mint shampoo was no more but that it had been replaced by a nettle shampoo. Oh well, I'd give it a go. The nettle shampoo is designed for normal to oily hair types, the same as the mint variety. The shampoo is oil free and contains a nettle extract to naturally help reduce any excess oil on your hair and scalp. I was rather expecting a green shampoo (and stored in a brown plastic bottle there was nothing to dispel this myth) but in fact the shampoo is clear. The shampoo ...  Read the complete review

I recieved a bottle of this shampoo as a gift and I thought that with it being a Body Shop product it would be very good, but I was very disappointed with it. According to the Body Shop it's an oil-free shampoo that helps to remove excess oils without stripping the hair, leaving it shiny and healthy looking. Well, that's not the experience I had of it, but anyway.... It comes in a clear bottle which you can get in 3 different sizes - the little travel size 60 ml bottle costs £2.50, which I personally think is very steep for such a tiny bottle. Then you can also get a 250ml bottle for £5.50, and a 400ml bottle for £8. The bottle is easy enough to ...  Read the complete review
