Lush Give Good Hair
From solid shampoos and conditioners to natural dyes and styling gels, Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics knows how to Give Good Hair!
Lush's hair care range incorporates the very best and freshest ingredients, with herbs, fresh fruit and vegetables, seaweeds, flower absolutes and essential oils. Handmade fresh, ingredients are organic where possible and bottled products carry a made on date, use by date as well as the name of the person who lovingly made it. Nothing is tested on animals and Lush takes great care to source ingredients that match their high standards.
The Complete Lush Hair Care RangeSolid ShampoosTo use, simply wet hair gently, stroke directly onto the head coating the hair evenly, then massage to work up a lather. Rinse well. You can also use much as a soap, work up a lather in your hands and apply to wet hair.
Lush patented its solid shampoos in 1982. The solid formulation has many benefits: you need to use less product so there is less risk of irritation; it allows a higher volume of essential oils, which not only fragrance the hair beautifully, but are carefully blended to aid the properties of the shampoo; and there are less preservatives and minimal packaging. Lush solid shampoos are as vibrant in colour as they are effective in cleansing the hair, treating the scalp and boosting shine. Economical to use, each bar lasts up to 100 washes. They are practical and convenient and can be carried around in Lush's smart and sassy little shampoo tins.

The lavender and rosemary in Veganese care for scalps, while the lemon gives great shine. Vegans and everyone with fine hair should choose this one and stick with it.

Jasmine and Henna Fluff-Eaze: Jasmine scented, supremely calming hair moisturiser. This does exactly what it says on the tub, it eases hair that normally goes fluffy and uncontrollable after shampooing. Made with henna for brilliant shine, but not enough to change the colour so blondes and greys can use it too. Made with lots of emollient oils, such as almond oil, jojoba oil, Brazil nut oil, hemp oil and wheatgerm oil - all of which were especially chosen to calm fluffiness, add shine and to control the ends of the hair. There's also olive oil, which gives added shine and acts as a great tonic for the scalp. A great detangler, the effects last long after use; it stops static and prevents tangles from forming and the scent of jasmine lingers on the hair for days!

Henna Hair Dye: Lush use the finest Persian henna, which has been used since ancient times to dye the skin and hair. The leaves are dried and ground into a powder and it is this, mixed with conditioning cocoa butter, which forms the basis of our Cacas. As well as having its own conditioning benefits, the cocoa butter we use helps the henna cling to each hair, maximising its effect. That's one of the things that makes our henna so much better than anybody else's. Because henna coats each individual hair, smoothing the cuticles and protecting it from damage, it is the ultimate conditioning treatment. Hennaed hair is strong, glossy and absolutely gorgeous.
Caca Brun: dull browns will transform into gleaming brunettes. Made with a mixture of red and indigo hennas, we've added in a coffee infusion for even more voltage and nettles too for endless shine and to keep your scalp in tip top condition.
