Product Review: LUSH Solid Shampoo and Conditioner

Ok, so about LUSH.  
They have a great philosophy:


-from the website

However, their products are really hit or miss.  
Luckily you have ME to let you know which products are amazing and which are not-so-much!  
Today, I wanna talk about the Solid Hair Products.  

First: the Solid Shampoo Bars.   AMAZING.  
They all smell good, and they are amazing for your hair, 
the packaging is super environmentally friendly (no packaging at all!) 
and you can always get the perfect amount in your hair (no more estimating in your hand) 
by rubbing it straight onto your scalp.  
I love Jumping Juniper 
(Juniper, lemon, and lime oils, Rosemary and lavender decoction) 
and Ultimate Shine 
(ylang ylang and violet leaf oils with some delicious gardenia extract)
 but I would visit a LUSH store, or the website, to find one that is just right for your hair.  

Second, Jungle - the solid conditioner.  
Avoid this product.  
It is expensive and it DOES NOT WORK.  
It boasts cocoa butter and fruit extract, but it is a FAIL.

There is no way to get it to actually apply to your hair, and it doesn't condition!
Such a bummer, it is a great idea.  
But DO go for their liquid potted conditioners, such as:

"Fruity hair reclamation"


or Okra
"for hair in phenomenally bad condition"
 

These are yummy and make your hair ohhhhhhh so soft and luxurious.

To summarize: DEFINITELY invest in a solid shampoo and a liquid or potted conditioner.  
AVOID the solid conditioner.  
Ok, hugs and kisses

A Guide to Happy Hair

as per request (sorry it has taken so long! finals killed...)

Truth: Hair is difficult.
But here are some tips to make it easier!

*Wash your hair as little as possible.
Brush your hair lots to distribute oils and stimulate your scalp.
Always follow Shampoo with conditioner

BEAUTIFUL for curly hair!
If your hair has been chemically treated at all, this is your line
DANDRUFF DANDRUFF DANDRUFF... BE GONE!!!!
For dry, coarse, split end-y hair
Berit turned me on to this vegan color protection line, it's amazing

*in between washes, use a dry shampoo
(plus= superbly great texture and volume!)
Just spritz into roots and massage through and brush out the extra!

AMAZING, plus it's not an aerosol can!

*Deep Condition every three days
-unless your hair is frighteningly dry (SWIMMERS!)
then just use it every wash

K-Pak is awesome jawsome for curly whirly hair
smells AHHHHMAZING, and works great on dry hair
my sister's hair is thick thick thick and coarse and wavy
I feel bad because I got amazing straight soft japanese hair
Her stylist recommended this,
and she loves loves loves it!
It softens and smooths and delights
for dandruff, a tea tree oil scalp treatment is a must

*If you use heat, use a protective product to shield your strands from DEATH

*Use a great styling product for optimal BOWCHICAWOWOW

for hair that obeys
the best curl cream I have come across, not greasy or crunchy at all
this brand is owned by two african american women,
and is all around amazing for hair that has any texture other than straight and smooth.
it also smells good enough to eat.

*Get your hair cut.
Keeping your ends trimmed up is the only way to get rid of split ends.

Keep on glowing!
