Wow it has been a long time since I have actually posted on here. I wish I could keep the motivation to post regular but Uni and work take so much of my time that I rarely have any content to post.
However luckily I have found an item that has made a BIG difference to my hair care routine.
Are you ready to know what it is?
Ready?
Drum roll please…..
It is the BIG Sea Salt Shampoo by Lush.
Sea salt shampoo for shine, softness and big endowments. This pot of oceanic goodness is 50% sea salt to give limp hair the volume it deserves, with seaweed infusion to soften and fresh lime juice for shine. After using Big, your hair will be bouncing back to life. (Lush product Description)
Guys, this stuff is amazing. I am simply in love with this product.
I found this product because I was having trouble with my scalp, it was always really itchy and flaky and I began to get these slight puffy lumps which were not attractive nor a nice feeling to have so I thought, I need to find a deep cleansing conditioner that is exfoliating, will help dry out my scalp to stop the blistering but to also give it some moisture to help the flaky dandruff while giving me some slight volume, as I have very flat hair. Than I thought, wow that cannot be possible to find a product that will provide my scalp with moisture, whilst drying it out and exfoliating at the same time. However, apparently it was possible.
I bought the BIG Shampoo on Friday night just recently and couldn't wait to get home to try it out and hopefully sort out my horrible head. As soon as I got home I jumped straight into the shower and used the product. The BIG Shampoo is a very coarse shampoo with actual coarse sea salt bits in it to help exfoliate the scalp. I dug out a tiny bit, about the size of a 20cent coin, and began massaging and scrubbing gently. The product quickly becomes a thick lather of soap, when it gets to this stage i stopped scrubbing and let it sit for maybe 20 seconds just to treat my hair a little bit, then I rinsed it off. I then proceeded to do another shampoo with the product to make sure it really cleans and treats my damaged scalp and boy did it clean well. By the end of the second shampoo my hair was so clean that it began to make a squeaky sound, yes squeaky clean is a literal phrase as well.
You can see the tiny bits of coarse sea salt
After the second coat of shampoo I conditioned it with the conditioner I am using at the moment, the
TRESemmé Salon Silk Conditioner. I then hoped out of the shower, towel dried my hair and continued my normal hair care routine of Argan oil and night time Pantene leave in treatment massaged into my mid lengths-ends. I try to keep leave in conditioners and hair oils away from my roots as they tend to weigh down my hair a little bit and I like to keep my roots dry so it gives the illusion of volume.
After about 4 hours my hair was dry. As I didn't put any other products on my roots I decided to investigate them first. My roots were so soft, there was no flakiness on my scalp and my hair had more volume than it ever has without a blow-dry.
All in all I would definitely recommend the BIG Sea Salt Shampoo by Lush for anyone. My hair feels and smells great and I am in love. I will be repurchasing this one over and over.
Ps. Did I mention that Lush freshly hand makes their products and also doesn't test on a animals? Plus this shampoo is Vegan. Can it get any better?
Well, I hope you enjoyed this blog post, and I am going to try my hardest to post more.
Thanks a bung lovelies.
