Review: Lush - BIG Shampoo


About a month ago I had visited Lush here in Philly. I didn't really have any intention on getting anything (I like to read reviews on products pre-purchasing), but I did pick up a sample of a shampoo. There is a little description board that is usually alongside every product. 
Here is the one for BIG Shampoo: Sea salt and lemon shampoo to lift limp locks and mega watt shine.
Compared to all the other product names, I found this one to be generic, but I soon discovered why they had chose this name.
We'll start out with the smell of BIG. It has a very fresh ocean scent to it. Before I even looked at the ingredients I could account for the citrus, coconut oil and sea salt. These things combined make for a pleasing fragrance. The actual formula looks chunky. I had originally thought that there were actual chunks of sea salt in the product, but I think it is coconut oil. Not 100% sure, but it isn't hard, but soft and melts into your hair when lathering. Also you only need the tiniest amount to get this stuff going. My hair reaches just under the middle of my back, and I was able to work it through with a nickel size amount. Speaking of lather, it came full force! I could feel the results IMMEDIATELY. My hair felt light, clean and "bouncy," even with my hair still being drenched. Personally, I like to go a couple days, 3 tops, without washing my hair. Even though I have a naturally oily scalp I don't like stripping both my scalp and hair of it's needed oils. With BIG my hair looked, felt, and smelled just as amazing as when I walked out the shower. I did find after using it several times, that it was a bit drying, which is why I don't use it everyday. I use it about once a week and like I said the results last for days. Too much of anything is never a good thing, so I suggest to use this in moderation.
I definitely will be purchasing a full size, 11.4 oz. The price, $26.95, may seem a bit steep, but after testing it out I think it is a great investment. You're really getting what you're paying for.

The list of ingredients can be found on their online website: www.lush.com
It is also vegan + cruelty free. Any product with a "V" next to it indicates that it is vegan.

I would rate this a 5/5. If you're looking for volume and lacking vibrancy I highly recommend that you check this out!
