LUSH Quick Tips: Solid Shampoo Bars:
Thanks for the link! It looks like it lathers up even more than I expected, I'm definitely going to look into these when I go pick up another tub of ocean salt!

I go through those huge bottles of shampoo and conditioner on an almost monthly basis and I feel like solid ones would maybe last longer?

I use the solid shampoo bars like I would normal soap bars!! I lather them a little in my hair and then scrub lightly.  They are really easy and "natural" to use once you try it out, it's very intuitive, I think.  I haven't used the solid conditioner bars so I can't speak for that, but I like the shampoo a lot.

I'm nervous about using their shampoo bars because they contain SLS.

This is not a thing I need to be aware of.  Block it out.. block it out.......

I went to Lush this weekend and picked up Trichomania and it smells AMAZING! Like, I had to tell myself not to eat it amazing! And it made my hair super clean.

I'm pretty sure it's got magic in it!  :wizard:

I'd love to hear more thoughts/reviews on current Mother's Day products!

About the shampoo bars : They should only be used continously for a month as after that it will dry your hair out, it's really meant for travellng but every lush solid has a similar non solid shampoo that they sell. Personally I like the honey one the best.

I don't agree, and I've never heard this from LUSH themselves. 

I've been using their shampoo bars religiously for 2 years and my hair has never been healthier! (my fave is the white, Ultimate shine) I use it for months until it's just slivers, and then start a new one. I can definitely tell a difference when I stop using them though, nothing else I've tried works as well for me as the bars. 

 

[Maryam DiMauro]

Well I used to work there ( up to this January ) and that's what they trained me and well, you CAN use it otherwise but the thing is it is very concentrated... at the very least use rehab shampoo at least once a month for a couple days to replenish your hair. I am not saying don't buy it but just realize that it is very concentrated ... But the new training is to encourage shampoo bars with shampoo as well. I have three shampoo bars ( hehe  I got a lot half off working there)

Also be aware that EVERY lush product should be tossed after the due date. Most shower gels and shower jellies double as shampoo as well.

 

[Maryam DiMauro]

Here is another quick tip :
You can return almost anything except for bath bombs and bath products, so even if you use a shampoo and you didn't like it you can get something else even if you don't have the receipt. Also, try to get samples for hair care and skin care to try it out. But please buy something as well in the shop as the sales attendants need the sales boost /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Wait, for real?  So like, my Trichomania shampoo that I didn't realize had SLS in it and absolutely made my scalp freak out- I can take it back?  Without a receipt?  I'll buy eighty things I swear.

I tried the little Rose bubble bar and the Inhale/Exhale bomb and I'm in looooove.  I almost always like everything I get from Lush so I'm a bit biased but those are two items I would buy forever if they were permanent. 

 

[Maryam DiMauro]

Yup. So basically that is a case where definitely return it, you can get something of equal value or pay the difference. I returned a shampoo curly surly the coconut one because the guy i was going to give it to we weren't dating but had no receipt. I also returned roots because it did nothing for my hair but it was half through. With that I got rose argan and  the 25 dollar gift set. 

You can ask for samples of the soaps or anything really except massage bars and bath products. But only limited to two or three samples. Don't go in the store just for samples please though gah when people do that it's soooo bad for sales. At least get a sugar scrub haha. Also lush demos absolutely everything in their shop so if you aren't sure ask for a demo… ( I highly recommend the hand treatments)
