Before I start my review, I would like to say that this is my own personal review and I wouldn't want any of you to be put off by anything I say. Anything negative I have to say about a product is how I feel but I know many people would strongly disagree with what I will say; especially this conditioner bar which unfortunately didn't work for me but does for so many others.
There's good things I can say about this product along with a couple of negative things so I'll start with the good points I have to say. First, I was so happy with the scent of this product! It smells like the Big sea salt shampoo that Lush currently sell all year round in stores. However, I personally find that it has a little bit of a creamier, sweeter smell than the shampoo which I was more than happy with. Also, the shape and size of the bar is great as it fits perfectly with the shape of my hand making it easy to work for either rubbing it into your hair or rubbing it between your hands to then transfer it to your hair.
Another thing I like about the product is that it is naked, like a lot of other Lush products, which means that it needs no packaging making it economically friendly.
The product contains many things that would be good for hair that gets greasy with added fresh organic lemon juice and fresh organic lime juice which are known for removing grease from the hair and skin. However, this product contains extra virgin coconut oil which will help condition the hair along. The added sea salt adds texture and volume to the hair, making it a great conditioner to use with the sea salt shampoo under the same name.
Saying all of this though, personally I found that the scent of the product didn't really stick to my hair and was hard to detect after I had washed the product out and dried my hair. And although the bar is a good size for my hands, for my hair, I had to use a lot of the product to be able to even slightly feel it within my hair. I only use conditioners of the ends of my hair so I was not happy with the amount I had to use to just do my tips.
I would say after about three uses of this product on my hair, it has took about a third of the bar to use to saturate my hair. And at £5.95 per bar, this would be a pricey alternative to liquid conditioners.
I tried using the bar in different ways; rubbing it directly onto my hair and rubbing it into my hands then applying it into my hair that way. Rubbing it directly onto the tips of my hair worked faster but I found my hair was snapping and sticking to the bar. I personally would consider my hair to be rather healthy so to find the extensive amount of breakages on the bar, I was sceptical about how much hair had actually been pulled out. As well as this, when I washed the product from my hair, I found little lumps of the conditioner in my hair and even had to re-wash my hair as it had clumped that badly.
When I next used the bar, I rubbed it between my hands and used the build up on my hands to transfer it onto my hair. Although this meant there was no hair breakages, it took significantly longer to use the bar this way and again I had to use a lot of product and time to saturate the tips of my hair.
Maybe this bar would work better for someone with finer hair than myself as there will be no need to use as much so it won't take as long to use the bar and it would work out more cost effective. However, I don't like this bar and am a little sceptical about using other conditioner bars.
