LUSH review- Products for coloured/dry/heatdamged hair- Part 3

TREATMENTS

I use Jasmine and Henna Fluff ease every 2-3 weeks and R&B once every 6 weeks. 

1. Jasmin and Henna Fluff Ease

(see separate review for details)

2. R&B Hair Moisturiser

Product category: Hair Treatment

Price: £9.95/ 100g

Contains: Oat milk soothes dry, sensitive scalps; Organic avocado butter adds strength to dry brittle hair; Fair for life olive oil softens and conditions dry or frizzy hair; Extra virgin coconut oil moisturises and softens the hair; Organic cold pressed jojoba oil conditions the hair adds shine and increases manageability; Bay oil promotes health hair growth; Orange blossom and Jasmine absolute to beautifully scent the hair; Cupuacu butter protects and conditions the hair and adds shine and Candelilla wax to prevent moisture loss and protect the hair.

How to use: R&B can be used in three ways

1. Use as a leave in finishing treatment. Take a tiny amount of the product (less than a penny size for shoulder length hair) and apply to the ends (and a little on the mid lengths if you wish) of wet or dry hair, to tame frizz and flyaway’s while softening and conditioning the hair.

2. Use as a prewash hair treatment for damaged or very dry hair. If using it this way you will need to use more product (about a tablespoonful for shoulder length hair). Run the product through the hair using your fingers, until it is distributed evenly.  Your hair will feel quite oily. Leave in for 20-30 mins and then shampoo and condition as usual.

3. Use as a scalp treatment (the oat milk is great for calming sore/irritated scalps). Use it in the same way as for a pre-wash treatment but concentrate on massaging it into your scalp. Leave for 20-30mins, then shampoo and condition as usual.

Verdict: I’ve only used this product as a finishing treatment and a prewash treatment. R&B has a fantastic strong tropical scent with a hint of floral from the orange blossom and jasmine, which really lasts in the hair. Admittedly it took we a while to get the amount of product to use as a finishing treatment right, though once I did I have been more than impressed with the results.  Used in this way on wet or dry hair it really protects the hair when drying and straightening and adds a lovely shine to the hair and definition to layers while softening and conditioning. It also tames frizz and flyaways (used on dry hair).

Used as a pre wash treatment it is much heavier than Jasmine and Henna Fluff ease thus adding more weight to the hair. Because if this I only use R&B once every six weeks, usually just after colouring, or if my hair is feeling particularly parched. It intensely and deeply moisturises the hair, leaving it beautifully scented, soft, shiny and easier to manage. I need very little (sometimes no) conditioner after shampooing this product out. A great one for seriously dry/course and unruly hair, or those who just want to give their hair a deeply conditioning treat (just use less often).
