The Lush haircare routine.

I think you've heard about me going to my first Lush event (squee) and whilst I was there, a fabulous lady consulted me on what to get for my hair - as ridiculously greasy at the roots and dry at the ends hasn't been coping well with hightstreet brands, and I actually think they've been making it worse; I think it's the buildup of products that was leaving me hair, quite frankly, disgusting, and something I had to wash everyday. Not impressed with that. I'm a lazy hair washer as it is, so washing it everyday was a no-go for it. Second day hair involved a lot of dry shampoo and putting it up - however, if I was merely staying inside on my day off, then I'd throw it up and avoid putting any product into it. So, that was the tale of my old hair. Enter, Lush with their amazing products, allowing me to get to three days, and it still being altogether, acceptable to leave down and wear to work. Huzzah for me!

First comes the shampoo, and from Lush, we have the aptly named Rehab (£5.50, here). This stuff seemed to strip all of the rubbish out of my hair, whilst still leaving it clean and not at all dry, it feels healthy and manageable - leaving me so impressed, as I was coming to the end of my tether in terms of my hair. Now, three day old hair isn't a nightmare, and I'm very thankful for that. It does have the tendency to bring out a bit of dandruff on me, but that was coming through even with my old products - so I'm countering that with an intensive Lush hair mask, just to keep my scalp in check. That intensive hair conditioner will get a post all on its own, so keep your eyes peeled.

Next up, Veganese (£4.50, here). I'm still trying to work out what the scent is, but it's gorgeous, and really works hard at moisturising the ends of my hair, whilst not weighing it down, which was a problem with other conditioners. I thought, the thicker the conditioner, the more hydrating, right? Nope. It made it lank and greasy, two things that were a huge no-go for me, and made me so frustrated with my hair. This light, creamy product feels more like a shampoo, but it does its job so well. Just applied to the ends of my hair, it detangles, hydrates and leaves my hair bouncy. Everything I ever wanted.

R&B (£11.50, here) is a hair moisturiser, something creamy, buttery and a delight to massage into the ends of my hair - it gives that hit of moisture, without weighing hair down which is a massive plus; but the best thing, is that you only need a touch, especially if you have thinner hair like me. Just a dab on the finger, and you're away. Rub your fingers together before applying to the ends of your hair - it doesn't have that synthetic smell, it smells natural and just good for you, you know? You know how you can tell fruit is good for you, it's the same kind of method; it smells good, made from natural products - and its good for the hair. We're not loading them up with synthetics or anything like that. It's naturalness we're going for. But remember, if you're got thick, dry hair, unlike me, slather this on, even on the scalp. I have dry ends, and this works wonders for me. 

My hair was atrocious before these three products came into my life. I literally cannot get enough of them - they've changed my hair, and once I get it cut, it'll be bouncy and wonderful again - all in all, these three are the bee's knees, and I cannot recommend them enough if you're fed up with products that claim to be 'good for your hair' but are actually causing terrible buildup, and are in fact making your hair worse.
