I love this shampoo!!!! You would not believe how well it lathers up!! It rinses clean and smells amazing!! The bar lasts forever too!

Lush's NEW! shampoo bar is fantastic. It is especially great when travelling as it takes up almost no space and you dont need to worry about the bottle spilling in your suitcase(plus it can go in your carry on if you're not checking luggage). I love the cinamon scent and find that when i regularly use New! my hair does seem shinier and thicker.

It is a bt expensive but, I feel it is worth the price hence the 5 starts on price.

The only con is that you need to store it in a dry place otherwie like any bar of soap it will get mushy and bit nasty and not last very long..

LUSH claims that the product stimulates hair growth, and I really wanted this product to work. However, I have finished using the bar up and I don't notice any difference in my hair. I adore the exotic shampoo scent: sweet smelling spicy cinnamon with herbs. The shampoo provides a thorough cleanse - squeeky clean and shiny hair. I think the product is a tad harsh- kinda dries out my hair...making it "crunchy". In short, it's a nice product for that once a week deep cleaning treatment and for people with oily hair.

I'm not a regular LUSH shopper because all of their products seem too expensive for what they really are - $6.95 for a one time use bath bomb, really? - but I must admit I have made a mental whishlist of things that truly interest me, that are original and that can't be found elsewhere, but I keep saying to myself that I don't really need those things... I probably wouldn't have tried any of their shampoo bars if I hadn't let the sale assistant explain me in details what they are, how they work, what are their benefits, etc. I must admit, I didn't even listen to what she was saying at first as I came there for Boxing Day specials, wandering around and emitting random "huh-huh" when I thought it was appropriate... but when she mentioned "oily roots" somewhere in her monologue, I froze in place. I interrupted her, amazingly excited and full of hope: "Did you say one of these things is especially designed to control greasy hair?"

OK, I new they had a solid shampoo designed for oily hair and I would have initally gone for Jumping Juniper if I really wanted to try one, but the sale assistant told me this shampoo did nothing for her oily roots but that NEW! worked awesome for her, and that, as an added bonus, it was also great to stimulate hair growth. I was still a little hesitant because I thought that $10.95 was crazy for a shampoo - especially a strange-looking shampoo like this one - but then I rembered that I had read somewhere that one LUSH shampoo bar was the equivalent of three bottles of liquid shampoo, minus the nasty things such as silicone and the not-so-green packaging. So curiosity won me over and I came home with this cute little thing. I couldn't wait to try this and now I'm excited to share my thoughts with you!

Another thing that made me hesitant to try those solid shampoos is that I was afraid it would be hard to use and that it would not lather well - I know we have to get over the idea that a product has to lather to properly clean, but still, it's hard to say where I have put shampoo if I can't feel it! - but the sale assistant assured me it lathers really well, even better than most liquid shampoos! As soon as I came home with NEW!, I hopped in the shower, ready to put it to the test and let me tell you, the lady was right - it really does lather like crazy! It produces such a nice, luxurious and silky foam that I have never experienced with liquid shampoos - I never want to stop rubbing it onto my hair!

Because of its strange shape much like a hockey puck, I had no idea how I was supposed to rub NEW! onto my hair, but I went at it anyway and surprisingly, it does the job almost on its own! It glides well on the hair, making sure to cover all of it and leaving a trail of luxurious foam behind it. When I rinse the foam away, I can feel my hair being squeaky clean.

NEW! may seem small but just like solid soaps that seem to last forever compared to shower gels, it should last a great deal of time if it's true that it's the equivalent of three bottles of shampoo and honestly I do believe it is. I makes sure to let NEW! dry in a area free of humidity to keep it from melting before storing it in a little container I re-used (instead of the stupid-useless-waste-of-money tin they will try to sell you).

I personally love the cinnamon smell, yes it's strong but it's very pleasant and refreshing to me. It's not everyday that you find a shampoo that smells like that! I didn't notice it lingering into my hair but I think it would have been quite pleasant.

From the reviews I have read on the LUSH website, many people say this shampoo is drying but I didn't notice my hair being dry and I really don't care as I use conditioner and leave-in conditioner everytime I wash my hair, and honestly, I would rather have dry than greasy hair! After each wash with NEW!, my hair is left perfectly clean, really shiny - something I don't think I have experienced with any liquid shampoo - and also touchably soft.

After this great experience with NEW! Shampoo Bar, I'm seriously contemplating getting rid of all of my liquid shampoos because when I think of it, none of them really did something for my hair and they sure don't work as well as NEW!. Maybe I'll use them up and then stick to solid shampoos?

Oh yes, NEW! is safe for colored-treated hair, like all of LUSH shampoo bars except Seanik because it contains sea salt which can roughen up the hair and easily strip color from the hair.

You can get NEW! Shampoo Bar for $10.95 for 55g at LUSH.ca and be sure to have a look at their wide variety of solid shampoos!

I am very interested in using natural/chemical free beauty products. I liked the idea of trying a solid shampoo bar, mainly because I have heard they last a long time, therefore it's a good value for your money! Initially, I was wanting to try the Dr. Peppermint, but it was out of stock, so this was a close second. The first time I tried the bar, I was somewhat satisfied. It seemed to lather up alright, but I wasn't blown away. The second time however, was just frustrating! My bar was stuck in the little tin, so I had to lather up while it was glued to the bottom of the container. I went back to the store and they suggested it turn the tin upside down so it is easier to remove and use. I did this, but I am still unimpressed with the product. I would love to use their bottle shampoo, but unfortunately, the price is just too steep. I will stick to Dove.

I have thin hair and after washing with this solid shampoo, my hair feels so much thicker without being weight down. The peppermint and cinammon really wakes me up, which can be a bonus. Just a little rub between my hands gives me more than enough lather so the bar lasts me 2 to 3 months. Before using this shampoo I had to wash my hair daily in order to avoid getting that dirty look to it, I can go up to 3 days without washing and my hair does not look dirty at all. Cannot imagine using any other shampoo.
