Hey! This is review of a few LUSH hair products I love; Shine So Bright, R&B and Sea Spray.
Firstly, Shine So Bright which is a treatment for split ends and comes in a little lip-balm like pot. I've never used a split end treatment before but I did have a few dodgy split-ends starting to show so I thought I'd give it a go as I'd heard good reviews. I was quite skeptical to begin with and wasn't entirely sure the best way to apply it. You can either rub the pot straight onto your ends or rub it between your fingers/palms until it's all soft and oily and then apply it to your hair. You only need a small amount - it lasts ages!
It works amazingly! It makes my hair so much more bouncy and the split-ends have completely faded. Obviously it doesn't stop you from getting split-ends, if you need to get your hair cut. You need to get your hair cut. But it definitely conditions the ends so well! I use a lot of heat on my hair so it gets very dry and this made my hair all silky and shiny. Yay!
The balm includes extra virgin oil, organic eggs and fair trade coconut oil as a base, as well as orange blossom absolute, grapefruit, neroli and rosewood for fragrance. I find the smell a bit peculiar, not unpleasant just a bit strange. I can't smell the orange blossom which one of my favourite scents! I think it smells much better after it's settled onto your hair. Also, you don't just have to use on your ends. Use it on the body of your hair to tame fly-aways or give your roots a boost. Fab product, priced at £4.50
Secondly, R&B (I love the name of this considering this product was originally aimed at people with afro hair. Rhythm & Blues and all that - not trying to be racist or anything!!) This revives and balances hair fantastically. It has the same texture as your average moisturiser so it did feel a bit weird rubbing this into my hair in the knowledge I wouldn't be washing it out. I just rub a tiny amount on my fingertips and work through my hair and it makes it feel so much more hydrated and happy. My hair is very coarse and dry and this worked magic. I also love the smell - it's really unusual, the mix of Jasmine and Orange absolute combine to make this really intriguing smell. It's awesome.
You can apply this throughout the day on dry hair and it just gives it that extra boost. I will definitely be repurchasing. Priced at £10.95 it may seem quite pricey but if you have dry/curly hair it's definitely worth it!
And lastly Sea Spray which is a hair mist to hold your hair in place or give your hair a bit of volume. I generally use it to give my hair that beach look like all waves and effortless curls. But I also use it to roughen up my roots after I've backcombed to give myself a bit of volume and it works beautifully. It also smells great like the sea with a hint of grapefruit (I actually hate grapefruit but somehow quite like this) and neroli. I haven't really used it as a hairspray but I think it only has a small amount of hair gel in it so if you want a really strong hold I wouldn't recommend this.
The amazing thing about this product is that it doesn't leave that clumpy residue in your hair which other hairsprays do - a feeling I hate. It just feels all bouncy and light - chemical free! This costs £9.95.
Have you used any of these products? Any other LUSH hair products you'd recommend?
Much love, Jas xXx
