HAIR: Lush Shampoo Bars in Braziliant and Copperhead

Ditch the shampoo bottle and opt for shampoo in solid form. The much loved Lush Shampoo bars are now available in six new varieties - Jason And the Argan Oil, Braziliant, Copperhead, Lullaby, Honey I Washed My Hair, and Montalbano. I find the shampoo bars to be mega-travel friendly (i.e. not a liquid) and super easy to use. I've previously reviewed Squeaky Green - which I find is great for removing buildup but a little harsh on my scalp for regular use. Thus, I was excited to test out a few more varieties from the line. 

Braziliant ($9.95)

Get Rio-lly good hair with this shampoo bar, reminiscient of the Brazilian sun. Whole fresh organic oranges are packed with nutrients which will make your locks super shiny. Andiroba oil makes this especially moisturising when use on curly or Afro-Caribbean hair. We've also added ylang ylang oil and sweet orange oil to treat your hair to tropical fragrance.

Pre-Braziliant, I had been experiencing a bout of dandruff. Post-Brazilliant and there’s no white fluffs in sight. I definitely don’t have Afro-Caribbean hair but I my locks do get frizzy and dry and dull during the winter months. Not only does the orange scent smell bright and invigorating but the shampoo bar leaves my hair looking and feeling soft, shiny and healthy without creating build-up.

Copperhead ($11.95)

Don’t be latte for work, invigorate with a double shot of coffee grounds and roasted cocoa extract. Persian red henna leaves hair feeling deeply conditioned and gloriously glossy. Escape the daily grind with Fair Trade vanilla absolute and vetiver oil for a rich, enticing aroma. Great for darker shades and those with red tones.

What crazy lady wouldn't want their hair to look like a richer colour. Although I don't have red tones, I have quite dark hair that could use a bit of a shiny pick-me-up. Copperhead isn't as true-to-ingredients smelling as I expected. It's more of an herbal scent rather than coffee, cocoa and vanilla. The result was kind of meh. My hair felt cleansed after use but I couldn't see much gloss or shine. 

It's important to note that both of these shampoo bars contain Sodium Laurth Sulfate, which is in most non-natural shampoos, is also an irritant to many people's scalps, and not particularly environmentally friendly (doesn't degrade easily). So if you're not a fan of SLS, please be aware. 

Overall, I'm quite happy with Braziliant and Copperhead is totally useable but just so-so. Lush Shampoo bars seem to last much longer than traditional shampoos and the resulting quality of my hair is equally as good if not better using shampoo in bar form.
