Lush Shampoo Bars



A shampoo bar was one of the first items I ever bought from Lush (Seanik I believe). At the time I wasn't really too fussed by it but I recently decided to try the bars again and now I have a little collection of three!


New - This cinnamon and clove scented bar (which is what drew me to it - it smells amazing) aims to promote healthy hair by stimulating your scalp and boosting blood flow to the hair follicle.  It lathers up really nicely and my hair always feels clean after I've used it. Unfortunately though, the smell doesn't linger for very long in my hair which I wish it did.


Squeaky Green - With more of a herbal scent to it this one contains 'invigorating' cleansing herbs and essential oils to again stimulate your scalp and promote hair growth. I find the dried herbs in this one, that you can see in the picture, really snag and pull on my hair when I'm using it which is a bit annoying. I'm hoping they might soften over time/use.


Lullaby - This one has a really strong lavender scent, which I love but it again doesn't seem to transfer onto my hair. I really wish they did because these bars all have lovely scents. Lullaby also lathers nicely and it seemed to rinse out of my hair much easier than the other two.

You can use the bars by rubbing them in your hands first or just straight onto wet hair, which is what I do. Lush claim that they should last between 60-80 washes. I have found that after quite a few uses they haven't really changed much in size but I haven't completely finished one yet so I can't really comment on that! I don't really see much difference between the three (besides smell of course) and I don't feel they give my hair the same softness that a regular shampoo does but I do really like them. 

 Have you tried any of the Lush shampoo bars?

    These look so nice (and tasty haha)! They remind me of macaroons :)

    I really cannot imagine using bars for shampoo, but I am so intrigued to try them. Plus the amount of washes in one that they claim does sound pretty great. I shall have to pick one up at some point!

      It was weird to me too at first but now I don't think anything of it. Let me know which one you pick up if you do, they have a bunch!

    Most underrated Lush product ever! I can't get over how long they last. I love your collection - especially Squeeky Green, it's my absolute fav!

    I have been wanting to try these for the longest time! The new cinnamon scent has really appealed to me which makes me want it even more! Need to pop into Lush asap!

      Ah, it smells so good. I sometimes will just randomly grab it to sniff it! ;)

    60-80 washes is pretty incredible and if that's the case then they seem to be great value for money. Never tried these but I'd be interested to give them a go as the concept is interesting.

      We shall if they really do last that long, not that I can really keep track. I also like to really rub them on my hair, so I'm probably going to get through them a lot quicker..

    I have only ever tried Jason and the Argan Oil which I absolutely love - smells incredible, lathers up so well (which when I first tried it, I was so surprised!!) and I'd definitely buy another one! I'm looking for one that is seriously cleansing to help me get rid of some product build up!

      New acts as a cleansing shampoo (which I didn't realise when I bought it but the name says it all!).

    I use the New bar all the time :) It doesn't leave a product build up in my hair and my hair has definitely been healthier since I discovered it a year ago. Might give the lullaby one a try as I love the smell of lavender.x

      I know, it's a bit disappointing :( Their other shampoo's (ie BIG) leave my hair smelling amazing but these just don't have the same effect :(

    I've always wanted to try the shampoo bars but i can't imagine using a bar! Ahah but the fact that they last 60-80 washes is incredible! I might have to try them out!

      You should! They're a lot easier to use then you think.

    I'm so intrigued by these but I think I'd be confused try to use it haha. I love how they're meant to last a long time but my hair is quite dry so I don't know how well my hair will respond

      I have really, really dry hair too and sometimes I feel like my hair doesn't end up as soft as with normal shampoo but last night I used Squeaky Green and my hair feels pretty soft today! As for using them, they're easier than they seem :)

    I've already wanted to try these! I had no idea they last as long as they do! Also Lullaby sounds lovely just by it's name :') x
