- Wet hair thoroughly.
- Emulsify a small amount of Bain Restructurant à la Banane shampoo for curly hair between your palms.
- Apply to the scalp and massage, adding small amounts of water progressively as a gentle lather builds.
- Rinse thoroughly.
Pro Tip: Do you shampoo your hair just once a week? We recommend you wash, rinse, and repeat. Two applications will most effectively remove a week’s worth of buildup from dust, pollution, dry shampoos, and styling products.

Launched in 1982 when perms were de rigueur, Bain Restructurant à la Banane was the first shampoo created specifically to address the resulting chemical damage to hair cuticles. Jean-Marie Greyl innovated this natural shampoo for curly hair to gently cleanse while preserving bounce. The hero ingredient, banana extract, helps with definition and shape, while plant proteins help protect and strengthen. Even without the perm, we know natural hair tends toward dehydration and frizz. That’s why Bain Restructurant à la Banane remains a true favorite for curly and wavy hair enthusiasts today.

I was worried about the clear gel consistency of this shampoo because those kinds of shampoos tend to really strip my hair and scalp, but I was so pleased to discover it made a gentle lather. It did not leave my hair feeling stripped or squeaky either. Best of all it has a light banana scent. I echo the calls for a Banane conditioner!

I love how thick and rich this shampoo feels. It is definitely the richest shampoo I have ever used and it does a great job cleansing and hydrating my course, curly hair. I am not a huge fan of the scent, but it doesn’t last on the hair so it’s not a deal breaker. Complimentary from leonorgreylusa.

The first thing I noticed when I picked up the bottle was how sleek it was and how it fit perfectly in my hand, the bottle has a great design. The shampoo is thick, so you don’t need to use much. Just be sure to emulsify in your palms before applying it to your hair for even coverage. The scent is light and fresh, not overpowering at all. After washing, my hair felt clean but not stripped or dry. It helped give me volume in my hair by not weighing it down with residue. Overall, a lovely shampoo. I received the BAIN RESTRUCTURANT À LA BANANE shampoo from Leonor Greyl in exchange for my honest review.

This shampoo is a game-changer for anyone with dry, damaged, or brittle hair. From the very first use, I noticed a significant improvement in the texture and strength of my hair. It feels softer, smoother, and incredibly nourished.

I bought this for my daughter who has very lovely but fine hair that loves to get into tangles. She does not like washing her hair but when I offer her the “whipped cream” shampoo, she is very willing to have her hair cleansed. This comes out all foamy like whipped cream and smells so wonderful. She says it does a good job not making her head itchy -this is a big concern for us as she is prone to scratching her scalp with her fingernails which causes cuts. A wonderfully gentle shampoo that smells so wonderful!

Turned my hair ORANGE! Salesperson told me all Leonor Greyl products were color safe. This shampoo is NOT! My hair is ORANGE!

Hello Terena,
I’m so sorry you had a bad experience with our product. Could you possibly send me ‘before and after’ photos? All of our products are indeed color safe and tested for it. I reviewed the ingredients with our chemist and there doesn’t appear to be any ingredients in the formula for the Bain Restructurant a la Banane that could cause color change. We would be happy to refund your order or just that one shampoo if you wish. Please reach out to me if this is what you prefer – info@leonorgreyl-usa.com.
All my best,
Caroline

I absolutely love this shampoo, it cleanses my hair so well without drying, it’s very moisturizing. I also love the banana smell and I look forward to washing my hair! My hair has never been healthier or looked better since using Leonor Greyl products. Nothing compares to the quality and luxury.

Magic! I am new to curly hair thanks to a medical treatment. I tried so many products then this! With each shampoo my hair becomes more luxurious, easier to comb thru, healthier looking and feeling and it smells wonderfully decadent, too. I highly recommend this amazing product! I am lucky to have found it! Daily, I get stopped by people telling me that I have beautiful hair! The frizz that it used to be is completely gone! Best ever!
