When Fresh Pineapple was recently added into the summer scents this
season, I hated it. The lotion smelled fake and the pineapple scent was
overthrown with a strong scent of plastic coconuts. I avoided the new
scent when it came to body sprays, washes, and lotions.
However I have a strong liking towards the signature shampoos and
conditioners, and when I saw that this scent was also made as a
conditioner I had to have it. I have tried all of Bath & Body Works
conditioners with excellent results, and scents.
I popped the top and got a sniff of it before purchasing the bottle.
It was that same scent I knew I did not like, but as a conditioner I
knew I wouldn't mind. Weird I know, but I knew that using this would
make my hair smell like coconuts, which I don't mind. Besides, I had
every other scent in the collection, so giving this one a try was a
must. When I saw that they were still on sale for 2 for $10, I figured I
would sister it up and buy the shampoo as well. I bought the
moisturizing formula, but this scent is also available in volumizing.
The bottles each hold 12 ounces of shampoo and conditioner. The
shampoo bottle is clear and has a yellow transparent colored shampoo
inside, while the conditioner is in more of a thick cloudy bottle. The
conditioner is also yellow, but a murky cloudy yellow. Fresh Pineapple
is easy to find seeing how it is the only bottle in the collection of
shampoos and conditioners that includes a pineapple scent, not only that
wedges of pineapple are clearly on the bottle, so it's pretty hard to
miss unless you are half asleep.
The Shampoo-
I ran my hair under running warm water and squeezed about a handful
into my hand. I began rubbing it into my hair, the lather worked up
pretty quickly and the pineapple coconut scent hit me. It was pleasant
in the shower, but I have used much better scents before. After
squishing it around I rinsed off. The shampoo did leave my hair feeling a
bit parched, but clean at the same time. I knew that once I used the
moisturizing conditioner the dry feeling would be long gone.
The Conditioner-
After shampooing I applied about the same amount of conditioner into
my hand and ran it through my hair. I had to use another small handful
of it because I have long hair. It did not take long for my hair to
begin to feel smooth and silky, but I waited it out for 3 minutes before
rinsing.
Once rinsed my hair felt much softer, and the knots and parched feeling were history.
I got out of the shower, and I was able to easily run my brush through
my hair without running into any snags. The scent was also still
present, and it smelled exactly like I thought it would, coconut with
barely a trace of pineapple. I am still baffled as to why this one was
called fresh pineapple. It smells more like a tropical coconut. The
pineapple wouldn't even be recognized if I didn't know it was in there.
After drying up my hair was left softer, and easier to manage. I liked
it. The scent stood with me for the entire day, which was a plus.
Usually scents don't last long in my hair, but when it comes to
Signature shampoos and conditioners I always win.
Issues:
One issue, and the only issue I have with Fresh Pineapple shampoo and
conditioner is that it is not the best scent in the collection. I
foresee this one getting discontinued fast, because once everyone tries
it, it most likely will not be a scent they come back for time and time
again, when they have scents such as coconut lime verbena, and sweet pea
sitting right next to it. Even though I got results I like, I can get
better results and better scents with my money next time around. I
probably wouldn't buy this one again unless it went on a $3.00 sale.
It's just a shame that Bath & Body Works released a scent called
Fresh Pineapple, that smells nothing like pineapple. Maybe next summer
than can give it another go, and create something a tad more realistic.
What BBW says about Fresh Pineapple Shampoo:
"For dry, damaged or color-treated hair. Maximize your pampering
experience with this superior moisturizing shampoo, available in our
most popular Signature Collection scents. Nourishing formula seals in
moisture and restores shine and manageability. Restores strength to
color-treated hair, keeping it looking radiant. Leaves hair soft, silky
and healthy "
Where to get it:
You can purchase this one right now at any local Bath & Body Works
for 2 for $10.00. Sometimes these shampoos and conditioners go on sale
for $3.00. However without any sales they will cost you $7.50.
Overall:
In my opinion Fresh Pineapple shampoo and conditioner works great, but
the scent lacks, and why would one waste money on this scent when there
is a slew of other scents that are just heavenly? My recommendation
would be Moonlight Path.
