Review: The Body Shop Brazil Nut Define and No Frizz Cream


TBS Brazil Nut Define and No Frizz Cream Review

The Body Shop Brazil Nut Define and No Frizz Cream
I picked TBS Brazil Nut Define and No Frizz Cream during a 20% members-only sales.  I have very unruly hair, and something that promises to banish frizz seemed like a must-have.  I don't have very defined curls to start with.  My hair is lost somewhere between wavy and oh, wait, I want to be curly!  So really, what I was looking for when I picked up this product was something that would keep my hair settled in place, and if it keeps a bit of the curl that would be a bonus.  The TBS Brazil Nut Define and No Frizz Cream comes packaged in a tube with a flip-open cap.

This is a pale pale brown cream and has the consistency of a lotion.  The first thing that I did notice about this, though, was the smell.  It smells like caramel and looks like molten icecream, and I wanted to eat it up right away :P :P

How to Use TBS Brazil Nut Define and No Frizz Cream

Apply sparingly to damp hair and style as usual. Can also be used on dry hair between washes.  I had some simple expectations from a product with simple claims plus it was on sale, so the tube joined the growing pile in my shopping basket.

A conditioning cream that helps define curls and tame frizz,
leaving your hair smooth, shiny and feeling great.

TBS Brazil Nut Define and No Frizz Cream - My experience with the product

For me at least, this is a complete waste of money.  It doesn't work.  It doesn't control frizz.  It does not define any curls.  Nothing.  Oh wait, that's not really true.  It does do one thing - it made my hair rough and tangled.  Or maybe that's how it controls the frizz - hair gets all rough and tangled, so no flying around and getting frizzy.  It smells good - yummy - and that's all there is to it.  If it was a harmless yummy-smelling cream, I won't have minded so much, but it made my hair feel like I had never ever conditioned it.  Needless to say, I won't be buying this ever again.

I bought two haircare products from TBS - Rainforest Moisture Hair Butter and this Brazil Nut Define and No Frizz Cream - both superuseless and left my hair worse than it was before my experiments.  I don't know if I could brave another haircare product from TBS ever.

    HAWww too bad!! :( I wonder what in it causes your hair to become rough and tangled??? IS it that potassium sorbate? They should have included some alcohol in the ingredients!! hee hee...alcohol softens hair naa!! :D :D :D

    Wow, thanks for the review... I am always on the look-out for my holy grail to tame my frizz into curls, so I guess I can scratch this one from the quest. I did like the banana line though, although not enough to justify the extra money it cost. I have frizz and a lots and lots of hair, so I go through hair products at mind boggling speeds ;-)

    thank goodness i read your review. too bad it didn't work. you know the hair butter did nothing for me either! Strange how anti-frizz products can do the opposite to your hair! I'll tell you what worked for my super frizzy, moody hair - baby hair oil followed with a hydrating shampoo and then Himalaya's detangler. My hair has never felt better and very little hair fall. I feel blessed!

    Cali - because the veg shop might be selling turmeric roots and I might want to buy that to grind and put on my face as a DIY face mask!!!

    Farha - Generally, TBS seems to be superbly useless with haircare :D :D :D but I have read good reviews for their Rainforest range - shampoo/conditioner, so maybe it does suit some ppl :D

    er...what else will you add in that face mask?

  41. RatiFebruary 3, 2011 at 12:17 AM

    errr... why dont you give that Loreal TEC a try...It's for frizzy hair. I saw it at the salon also the other day.

    I personally am going to pick up the rainforest rage because it's been a month I have been looking for a hair acre range without harmful chemicals and only TBS is fitting there.

    I have been reading some of your posts and I really enjoy them :) Before I started reading the review I already knew the product wasnt going to work, it sounds all mild mannered and I think frizzy hair needs some serious sounding stuff...I should know, considering I have curly and frizzy hair too..!..I am planning to try Kerastase, since natural products have let me down where frizz and curls are concerned...

  55. RadhikaFebruary 4, 2011 at 2:47 AM

    Too mild mannered for frizzy hair :D :D True :D
