If I ruled the world I would make a law that ALL hair products should smell of coconut.

There are.

theer is a range in Sainsbos which is coconut flavoured.

Ditto Boots. They also have a coconut scented leave in conditioner for £1.50 so your hair smells of bounty bars all day. I use it every day and love it.

Agree ALL shampoo shoyuld smell of coconut or almonds.

Don't M & S do one too?

Shaz10 · 31/08/2010 15:11

Oh yick. I hate coconut smelling stuff. It reminds me of a bad night with Malibu. Blush

Superdrug do it too. Think it's actually Sweet Almond and Coconut or somesuch but it smells v coconutty.

noteventhebestdrummer · 31/08/2010 15:20

Lush do a lovely solid coconut shampoo bar which even makes teenage DS small lovely :)

GetOrfMoiLand · 31/08/2010 15:28

there ya go, Yuno

vinovino · 31/08/2010 15:32

I can recommend the M&S one, make hair really shiny and smells of coconuts all day long I too would enforce this rule. Also they havea great shower gel/hand wash/soaps that smell really coconutty too

I tried a bumble&bumble coconut shampoo once and it didn't smell of coconuts really so I wouldn't recommend that one

vinovino · 31/08/2010 15:35

Hate almonds though- doesn't cyanide smell of almonds?

BitOfFun · 31/08/2010 15:36

Inecto is in all superdrugs etc. Very nice, and silicone-free for curly girl followers too.

TrillianAstra · 31/08/2010 15:36

Superdrug have a nice one.

YunoYurbubson · 31/08/2010 15:39

Sadly no Superdrug either.

I do believe there is a tiny Lush at the other end of town though.

Oooh GetOrf - even the pic on that shampoo is perfect.

I don't know about cyanide smell. I've never had a cyanide flavour shampoo.

I think the superdrug naturals stuff is silicone-free too.

GetOrfMoiLand · 31/08/2010 15:40

Lol at Cyanide Miss Marple tangent.

TrillianAstra · 31/08/2010 15:41

I thought only something like 1% of people could smell the bitter almond cyanide smell - somehow that 1% always end up embroiled in murder mysteries.

BornToFolk · 31/08/2010 15:42

"I think the superdrug naturals stuff is silicone-free too."

It is. I am a curly girl follower too. Grin

vinovino · 31/08/2010 15:52

Oh I sniff everything for almond smells Grin

Lulumaam · 31/08/2010 15:55

i use the inecto hair serum which is also coconuty , get it in bodycare

boots naturals range there is a coconut and almond one but is does not smell of almonds or cyanide

look in discount places, they seem to have some more esoteric shampoos !! inecto also do coconut facial wipes

GetOrfMoiLand · 31/08/2010 15:56

The coconut Body Shop style body butter from M&S is marvellous.

veryconfusedandupset · 31/08/2010 16:02

Tesco do one too, I always buy it. 90p?

traceybath · 31/08/2010 16:13

Can anyone remember the vidal sassoon ones from years ago in brown bottles that smelt of marzipan - I loved that stuff.

GetOrfMoiLand · 31/08/2010 16:15

OOH I loved that Vidal Sassoon marzipan stuff. It smelled divine.

Pinner35 · 31/08/2010 16:17

That Vidal Sassoon stuff was gorgeous....I loved it too.
