100% OF CHICKS DIG IT
Let me tell you about my hair first:
I have dry, color-processed naturally wavy/curly hair that is just past my chin. It's fairly coarse, but I don't have a lot of it after countless times getting my hair thinned out. I'm lacking in volume.
Using it:
I wet my hair and run the bar three times over my hair, once on top, and once on each side of my head. I massage it into my roots and squeeze it gently through to the end of my hair, being sure not to rub as it creates tangles. I rinse and follow with conditioner. It cleans well, so I usually don't have to repeat the shampooing process.
What I love about it:
Okay, first of all, can I just say that it SMELLS AMAZING? The site lists it as being scented with mimosa and orange blossom. I personally can't pick out either of those scents, but I can definitely smell the Jasmine. The scent lingers really well, too. As for cleaning, it cleans amazingly. Almost too well for my dry hair, but I just remedy that by only shampooing once. It has sea salt for volume, and nori to nourish the hair. It honestly really reminds me of Big Shampoo in a solid form. Also, I love the packaging. As in, no packaging at all. Each shampoo bar replaces three 250 mL shampoo bottles, which I thought was great. And while this is completely unrelated to the bar itself, I love that the LUSH website lists all the ingredients with a link to a page with what they actually are.
What I don't love about it:
I do find it a bit drying at times, and I do wish it were a little bit cheaper, though it wouldn't stop me from buying it again.
Ingredients: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Irish Moss Gel, Perfume, Nori Seaweed, Sea Salt, Lemon Oil, Mimosa Absolute, Orange Blossom Absolute, Jasmine Absolute, Cocamide DEA, Limonene, FD&C;Blue No. 1
Overall, I think that the Seanik Solid Shampoo Bar is a great purchase at $9.95 CAN and I would definitely recommend that you try it if you enjoy fairly cheap natural products.
I just wanted to let everyone know that I can no longer use this as my daily shampoo, as I need something to help deal with my dry itchy scalp. I still use this once weekly as my clarifying shampoo, and I find it works great for that usage as well. It really leaves my hair squeaky clean and my hair feels about ten times lighter.
I also wanted to point out that it does contain SLS, as do a fair amount of their other shampoos. If you were looking to avoid sulfates, I probably would not recommend LUSH shampoos to you.
