Let me first give a shot out to my friend JillieCat for convincing me to start blogging again. Thanks Cookey!
I love surfing blog spot/you tube looking for product reviews. I find myself doing it for hours a day. I guess it’s time for me to start voicing my opinion and maybe it will help someone out there!
My first (new) blog is about a TERRIBLE experience I had with WEN shampoo. (yes I am a INFO commercial junky – which is WHY I love reading reviews, hehe) After researching WEN and reading all the great reviews on the shampoo, I decided to purchase it. It came on a Saturday morning. I was so excited to use it. I snapped a picture and posted it on facebook. Many of my friends were commenting on my picture about how they loved it and wouldn’t use anything else. My hair texture is normal, It’s niether dry nor greasy. It has to be washed daily for the most part but sometimes I can skip a day. I quickly got in the shower and started washing my hair. WEN is a conditioning shampoo. My hair is always tangled after shampooing so, I was shocked when I didn’t need any conditioner after. WEN was sweet almond mint scented and it smelled amazing. I couldn’t wait to start styling my hair to see the results. I let my hair air dry for about 30 minutes and then started blow drying it. I noticed the top of my hair wasn’t “drying” but I clipped up the top section of my hair and started ironing the bottom. My hair had a sticky feeling but I didn’t think anything of it. I took down the top section and started blow drying to get the dampness out. After another ten minutes of blow drying I looked close in the mirror and noticed it was a buildup. I ran into the bathroom and shampooed the front pieces of my hair with regular shampoo. I went back into my room to blow dry it again! It looked like I was prepping my hair for dreadlocks! I went out and bought clarifying shampoo and used it for a few days. My hair was still flat and lifeless!
I started researching shampoos and I came across a website called Lush homemade cosmetics. I thought it looked familiar and realized I had been in that store when I was in Ireland. It is a all natural/organic soap shop that is based out of the UK. They sell handmade soaps, bath bombs, hair products, shower gels and a whole bunch of other fun things. I started looked around the site. The shampoo and conditioner bars caught my attention. They have amazing reviews. I checked locations and they happened to just open up a store in my local mall. I went in and the staff was AWESOME. I told them about my bad WEN experience and they went over all the products with me. I’m not really into the whole organic thing so I wanted to just buy some things to try.
Here are the items I purchased:
Seanik solid shampoo bar:
Description: Its has Sea salt gives body and volume to hair that's fallen flat and the lemon oil makes hair shiny.
My thoughts: AMAZING!!!!!! My hair felt sooooooo clean and smelled wonderful. It has a very earthy clean sent! All you have to do is rub the bar from root to ends. (Rub the sides and then down the middle) It leathers very nicely so you can really massage into scalp.
Jungle conditioner bar:
Description: Jungle feels different on your hair from liquid conditioner; until you wash it off, you hardly notice it's there. It smooths and detangles, leaving a fruity scented coat of shininess. Smooth it along the length of your hair from root to tip, then rinse out.
My thoughts: After rubbing the conditioner in (apply same way as shampoo) I had mixed feelings because It didn’t feel like my hair was soft. After letting it sit in a towel for about 20 minutes. I was a little bit nervous but I used a wide comb and it wasn’t tangled at all!!! I don’t think I would recommend this conditioner for people with dry thicker hair but if you have the in between hair this product will be PERFECT! It worked great for my hair type
I started to blow dry my hair and was scared of the results but I was 100% happy!!! My hair has volume and life again! I blow dried and ironed my hair (had NO other style product) and my hair looks and smells fabulous! Lush is amazing!!! I’m going to go back and buy EVERYTHING!!!! I hope they have styling products because I need some type of protection from my hair iron! =)

I also purchased soap that I haven’t used yet. I will blog my review about it in another post!
