Vegan Conditioning Products; Lush Cosmetics

I have always been a faithful Lush Cosmetics user when it comes to haircare; shampoo bars, conditioners, hair treatments, the lot! However, when I took the next step in my cruelty free life roughly six months ago and became Vegan, I all of a sudden discovered that I was unable to use my favourite conditioners; Damn you Lanolin! I had to wave bye-bye to American Cream & Retread and have a hunt around for a suitable replacement and here they are;




1. Veganese
I was so unsure of Veganese at first. This is one of Lush's lightest conditioners which I thought may be a problem for me as I need to feel the product thick in my hair to believe it is working however, I actually found Veganese to be rather thick and did not need to use any more than usual. The Lemon oil gave my hair a lovely shine as well as giving the product a gorgeous scent and the Seaweed is used as a softening agent which is a good replacement for Lanolin. I have purchased two more bottles since the first use & I love it!

                                                         

2. R&B

R&B is a leave-in hair conditioner which I LOVE! This is one of my favourite Lush products ever. I use a really small amount on the ends of my hair when it's damp and it adds an extra bit of strength & helps smooth out any split ends I may have (when I say 'may have' I actually mean the gazillion split ends I do have). Another incredible benefit of this leave in conditioner is the smell; Orange Flower Absolute and Coconut Oil make for a deliciously tropical scent which sticks around in your hair forever! I have lost count of how many people have complimented me on the scent of my hair, as odd as that does sound.

3. Jasmine & Henna Fluff-Ease 

I have only used this product once so far however I was extremely impressed. Lush suggests using all or half of the tub in one application to benefit from it however, my hair is currently a bit thinner than usual and I was a bit worried that I might be left with a heavy feeling of product in my hair afterwards so, I just applied some treatment to the ends of my hair and left it in for about twenty minutes before washing out. The website says that the Olive, Hemp and Soya oils help to strengthen the hair which will reduce breakage, and I definitely feel that it has improved the condition of my hair. The Henna infusion in this product is beneficial for people with dyed hair (A.K.A me!). The only downside I have with this product is the scent; It reminds me of the generic hair dye scent but it's not a problem as you wash the product out with your standard shampoo and conditioner afterwards.

Hallelujah for Lush! I now have lovely, soft, conditioned, cruelty-free, Vegan hair!
