I reviewed the Strawberry Body Shop Beautifying Oil not that long ago - link
and said that yes it was great for adding a quick intensive moisture boost to the skin
but really didn't rate it on dry hair as it suggests.
Well that was before I learned why you apply it to dry hair and saw just how great it truly is.
The concept is that you apply it to dry hair but you don't go ahead and try tostraighten it
or blast with the hair dryer the idea is that you apply it to dry hair and leave it over night so
it can work it's magic then rise out in the morning.
Before that I was bemoaning the sticky oily hair

because I was using it incorrectly, you live and learn eh?
Admittedly I don't enjoy oily products 100% but at least when it's in your hair you can slick it back
and forget about it until the morning and man is it worth a slightly oily pillow case!
Nowhere on the bottle does it state where you should apply this hair wise so you do have to use
common sense and ask yourself where is your hair dry - normally the ends but if you have
over processed hair or a fondness of bleach you may need to apply it a little further up
but I wouldn't go all the way up to the root unless greasy hair is your thang.
Again when it comes to rinsing, it is completely up to yourself,
I have tried it both rinsing purely with water and then doing a full wash and condition.
Admittedly I prefer the latter as it I feel that way I have got

Admittedly I prefer the latter as it I feel that way I have got
rid of the oil completely yet I have the added moisture boost from the over night treatment
not to mention my hair feels so much more silken after each use with a lovely glossy sheen.
Oh and for those who asked in my previous post yes this works well as a bath oil,
albeit a little slippery but it scents the water and gives the skin a light veil of moisture.
Have you tried The Body Shop Beautifying Oil's? How do you prefer to use them?
The Body Shop Beautifying Oil's cost £9/100ml and come in a variety of scents - link

I can't decide whether I want to buy these, I just can't imagine putting oil in my hair/on my body... ewww!
ReplyDeleteI'm like that too but I promise it's not as bad as it seems :)
DeleteYum, strawberries. I like the look of this product, might check it out xx
ReplyDeleteI hope you do :) I'm picking up the coconut one soon :) yummy!
DeleteThe coconut one smells amazing! Haha I love it :)
DeleteI couldn't wait to buy one of these and after reading your post I bought the mango one :] i've just ordered my second! The only problem i've found is it's really expensive for something so small. I tend to use it after I have a shower as it makes my skin feel amazing all day but it gets used up so quickly then :/ Shame they don't do a slightly bigger bottle! The lemon also smells amazing but the body butter smells like alcohol after a while so wasn't willing to risk it with this :]
ReplyDeleteMy mum and I love the coconut oil. Not too keen on using it in my hair but for legs it's amazing. Especially after shaving or if skin is dry. :) x
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amaaazing... Ill definitely pick one up soon.. Thanks for the review! Very helpful ;)
ReplyDeleteI've gotta say I've tried this and I don't particularly like it. I used it in several ways but it's just nothing special. I have however, tried the Body Shop Monoi oil and it's so much better! Especially for the hair.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I usually wash my hair at night though, do you think leaving this in for just an hour or two would work at all? :)
ReplyDelete(late comment is late!) I received a gift card for the Body Shop and I bought this. I find it's great for dry, scraped-up and calloused knees and elbows. (oh, the fun of being a girl in the world of martial arts...)
