I was always intrigued by Avocado Co-Wash as it's a bit different to the solid hair care that Lush have previously offered as it does both cleanse and condition the hair. I personally think that of the few times I have tried this product, it has always been more conditioning than cleansing which I have no problem with at all. I personally am not a fan of the solid conditioners that Lush have to offer as they have always clumped in my hair, leaving bit chunks of conditioner in my air even after washing out. Because of this I did put off trying Avocado Co-Wash but what made me try this was the incredible scent which I later found also left its scent on my hair.
As can be told by the name, this product contains fresh avocado that is known for it being perfect for re-hydration to the skin which results in smooth and healthy skin, perfect for the scalp. It also contains many vitamins that also adds to promoting healthy skin. It can also leave the hair soft and shiny.
Fair trade organic cocoa butter and cupuacu butter also moisturise the skin and are used as vegan alternatives to lanolin that is an oil taken taken from the fur of animals such as sheep, it is produced by the skin of the animal and taken off the fur. So these two alternatives are widely used across the whole of Lush's range as vegan moisturising ingredients. As they are natural products, they are easily available and amazing for the scalp and the hair.
Extra virgin olive oil is also used in this product and is known for its moisturising and healing properties. The vitamins in it help the skin to be cleansed easily and allow to keep the hair and skin healthy, even after it has been washed off the skin. Vitamin E is found within olive oil which is known for moisturising and repairing which is great for damaged hair.
Bergamot oil gives this product an uplifting scent which sticks to the hair beautifully and is undoubtedly one of the best smelling hair products in my opinion. Bergamot is part of the citrus family that isn't exactly too evident within the scent, but works with other scents to create this unique and beautiful smell. The addition of lavender and olibanum is undetected really within this product. Whenever I have used this product, people always know what I have used on my hair and this even happens the next day. It's evident enough to notice yourself and for others to do so but is not over powering.
To use this product, everyone finds their own way of doing so but I find that I get the best results by running it down the tips of my hair a couple of times the using the excess from my hands to massage the product into the tips. I personally have a greasy scalp so I avoid using this product on my scalp and I find that it works perfectly on hydrating and making my hair shine. I have dyed my hair for quite a few years and last year I stopped doing so and I wanted to look after my hair more and using this product every now and again is perfect for the dry condition of my damaged tips.
I would say I'm bothered by the price of this product but I'm really not. It works so well at moisturising, hydrating and the addition of the beautiful scent makes it acceptable for me to buy ever now and again when I feel as though my hair needs that extra TLC.
