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.
