Review: Lush Shampoo Bar | Brazilliant
I really should have reviewed this one a few months ago when I bought it. But my previous Lush shampoo bar (Jumping Juniper) seemed to resent potentially being replaced and decided to last as long as possible.
Lush have recently released a whole new series of Shampoo bars
Since I’m a shampoo bar addict don’t be surprised if one by one I review them on my blog. I can’t remember the last time I used liquid shampoo, and my hair (and skin) thanks me for that. Even though this shampoo bar does still have sodium lauryl sulfate my skin doesn’t react as badly to it as it does with liquid shampoos. I find it very mildly irritating but for the moment I haven’t found a SLS free solid shampoo that can replace it.
I probably don’t need to point out one of the more obvious pros of this shampoo bar, it’s increadibly handy for travel. No risk of exploding bottles of shampoo in your bag (been there, done that) and, as I’ve already mentioned they last for ever! Mine, on average, will last between one month to a month and a half, and that’s with washing my hair twice a week.
Basics: 16 ingredients • £5.75 • 55g • Cruelty Free • Citrus Scent • Moisturising • Vegan
I was a little worried when the shop assistant mentioned it was moisturising, since the last lush bar that did that made my hair more heavy and oily than moisturised, but then to be fair I had very long hair at the time. This bar however is AMAZING! I can’t say if it’s my favourite quite yet, I still need to try out Honey I Washed My Hair, but it’s definately in my top five favourites.
It’s moisturising (without leaving your hair feeling heavy and oily) and at least for short hair it really gives it a real nice amount of volume. And before I forget, this shampoo bar smells incredible, a strong citrus-y smell, though as far as I can tell the smell doesn’t really stay in your hair after you’ve washed it for long.
