Big Solid Conditioner

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I just bought this today (a little early, I know), but when I dried my hair off after using it it was SO soft and bouncy! I had used the Big Shampoo, also purchased today, and then applied this. Great combo!

I actually had a lightbulb moment after realizing that I use way too much solid conditioner at once and needed a way to use the same amount every time: egg slicer! I found an egg slicer, which we rarely use, and used the slicing part to cut the block into about 15 slices. That way I don't have to tear off parts of the bar to use. I like to moisten the conditioner and rub it into a paste and then apply it to my hair. It does take quite a bit of water to spread around but the end results are worth it!

Afterwards, my hair was soooooo ridiculously soft, bouncy, and weightless. Try it!

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

While I was in the store, the salesman recommended I break the bar into pieces. I haven't done that and just rip pieces off :)

I really liked the smell while I was in the store and when I use it, I still like it.

When I first used it, I was really skeptical. I love conditioner and what it does for my hair. I've got pretty thick hair and take care of it pretty well (avoid blow drying and since my hair is short, I can't curl it or anything). I recently used LUSH's henna dye so my hair is in pretty good condition. Anyways, when I first used it I was afraid it wasn't working. Usually when I condition, there is some residue that I've gotten use to. Using this bar made my hair feel dry and I thought my hair would got super oily once it was drying.

I was actually wrong! I'm using it everyday and I have to say my hair is SUPER shiny. It feels conditioned, but not like it does coming from bottles. It's a different kind of condition, if that makes sense, and it feels much healthier.

I would recommend this product since it has made my hair feel great :)

I rub the product with water and just use my hands to apply it on my hair. It took awhile to get used to and wasn't sure if I was getting it in. With regular liquid conditioners (with cones) I feel the effects fast which is soft and slick hair in the shower but with this my hair still felt squeaky clean and tangly. But as my hair dried it had some volume!

Also the texture of my hair has changed. Although it doesnt give me a slick soft feel it looks healthier and feels much stronger than before.

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I wanted to try this one since I love Jungle, and had suggested/requested more solid conditioners, in new scents. The scent is light, so I couldn't smell much at the store. But when I got it home, WOW, the fragrance is intoxicating! Still light, but it is the kind of scent that leaves you straining to smell it some more! The first time I used it, I used too much. Though my hair felt GREAT, was super-soft, and detangled REALLY well, I did have a teensy bit of a greasy halo around my crown. That went away with my next (and subsequent) uses, just by using less product (I avoid getting too much at the roots and concentrate on the length of my hair and the tips). Amazingly, this conditioner does not weigh my hair down at all (it is superfine and stick-straight, volume-challenged!) despite making my hair uber-soft. It feels so nice when I run my fingers through it (did I mention my hair STAYS DETANGLED? Nothing has ever done that before!), and I love catching a whiff of the soft scent throughout the day! I will definitely buy this one again!

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I have been sampling Lush's fine creations for the past 5 or so years and I have to say that Big Solid is my favorite thing since I tried my first Lush conditioner, which was American Cream.

I have found that the key to using this lies in the pre-shower treatment of the bar: I cut off relatively small pieces/chunks and place them in a covered container to bring into the shower with me. I take a chunk in my palm and put a little bit of warm water over it, mashing it together. After spreading this over both palms, I run it through my hair and focus on the ends.

I am left with beautifully scented, shiny, soft, and relatively tangle-free hair--with no heavy residue. I adore the texture of this product and my hair drinks up the healthful ingredients.

Dare I say that I like Big Solid's scent more than American Cream?! I never thought I would find something that A. smells better or B. works better, but alas! I'd recommend Big Solid to anyone and everyone seeking a pleasant detour from the standard store-bought liquid conditioner.

Thank you infinitely, Lush!

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I purchased the Big Shampoo and was suggested to pair it with its counterpart - the Big Conditioner. There are two ways to use this product - 1) work the bar in your hands and apply the product on your hands in your hair, 2) directly apply the bar in your hair. I have fine, thin, yet wavy hair that is also frizzy/dry and is in need of some volume. I use both products along with Roots about every other day or twice a week. I like using all three of these products together. It provides the volume that I have been looking for. Now the cons, using the conditioner both ways that I have mentioned I feel does nothing to my hair. It is a tiny bit softer than what it feels like after using the shampoo but not by much. Directly applying it to my hair, I have noticed that my hair falls out a lot more than usual. My guess is from the tugging when running the bar through my hair. The bar also loses its "solidity" and has broken in half on me now. As for the other use, I feel that not enough product comes out to compensate for the amount of hair that I have. In turn, I don't think I would purchase this product again for my hair type. I may try it, if I have some left, with a combination of a liquid conditioner to see if the experience changes.

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I got this as a sample because I was skeptical about solid conditioner. It took a while for me to work up to using it and the first time, I didn't use it properly so I didn't like it. But I still had a good amount left so when I made my next trip to my local Lush, I asked the saleswoman what the best method was for use. And it's a little bit of a process - really working and melting the product with a little water until you have a better consistency - but it's SO WORTH IT. Second time around, I'm in love with this product. I'm going to get more asap. The scent is amazing and the sea salt gives my hair such beautiful body and shine. It's also wicked soft. It isn't too heavy, and doesn't do a wonderful job at detangling. I advise you brushing your hair with your regular brush and/or a wide-tooth comb before you shower and taking care to comb gently after getting out. It gets out a few kinks, but if you're matted, you won't be happy.

All in all, 4 stars, because it is a bit hard to use. But it is SO worth it.

I got this as a sample with another order and decided to try it out. Definitely no regrets. I have pin straight hair that won't hold a single curl, but with this conditioner, it became voluminous and bouncy. I like to leave it in for a few minutes while I shower and let my hair air dry. This stuff smells great and has improved the overall texture and life of my hair. Absolutely great. The only bad thing is you should rinse twice, if you don't rinse thoroughly it can leave a little bit of residue, but that's a user error, the product is wonderful.

I love this conditioner so much! Makes my hair so soft with the thick hair I have! :) Must have and a great buy

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I just switched to solid shampoo and conditioner this week. while the shampoo bar has been a no brainer, this not so much. I have oily hair so I only condition from about ear level down, but getting enough of this product at the right consistency to do that has been rather tricky. However! This smells absolutely amazing and what I have been able to get on my hair returns it from the tangly feeling the shampoo bar leaves it to actually feeling like hair again. So I don't mind having to wear pony tails till I get this thing figured out!

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

When I first picked up BIG Solid Conditioner, it smelled amazing. The smell kinda reminds me of American Cream, or some vanilla-y/soft scent. (Even though it's actually sea salt and coconut.)This was just one of the conditioners I picked out of random.

I was in desperate need of a conditioner since my hair is dyed and processed and heated. At first, it didn't do much for me but then I gave it another shot. I just took the whole bar and slid it through wet hair, just enough so you could feel it. After I rinsed, it gave that silky feel through the water. After I dried and straightened my hair (since it's naturally wavy), my hair was extremely soft and shiny. It did feel a bit greasy though, and the bar easily melts, but overall, it's my favorite conditioner!
However the reason I gave it 4 stars is because it's not TOO amazing to the point where it's overwhelmingly great.

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I didn't like it the first time I used it. But then I only used it from the ear down, and it was perfect. Just get it warm, rub it in your hands, and run your fingers through your hair, then rub it in and leave it on for a bit. It is really light, so don't expect it to detangle a huge mess. This solid conditioner is really soft, so it's best if you cut off a chunk and not get the whole thing wet. Even though it has salt in it, it doen't dry out my hair.

I also LOVE to use it as a body conditioner! I love Ro's Argan, but it's a little heavy for every day use. So this is perfect!

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I was really excited to use this product, but I was very disappointed that it did nothing it claims to do. It's really soft which makes it hard to apply and leaves a residue and random clumps in my hair. I do like the smell a lot,but other than that I would not buy it again or recommend it. Not a good product from Lush at all and I love all of their things.

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I had been using the Jungle Conditioner, which I liked, but found the scent a bit overwhelming. This one is perfect. It smells very nice and leaves my hair soft. I have color treated hair and I have not noticed any impact on my color with this product. Also, it volumizes my very fine hair. I am not currently using any styling products and I let my hair air dry and this product seems to be perfect for that leaving my hair with really nice beachy waves. Just as a tip for first time users of solid shampoos and conditioners, for me the conditioner only lasts about half as long as the shampoo so I buy double the amount of conditioner.

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

So, I probably should have held off on reviewing this product- my hair's not even completely dry! I was a little concerned with the reviews that it wouldn't detangle well enough. I have lots of very long, fine, wavy hair that likes to simultaneously frizz and look limp when not taken proper care of. I got in the shower with hair so tangly, it was practically matted. I used my Godiva shampoo and followed with the Big Conditioner, which I left in while I used my body wash and shaved. I couldn't quite run my fingers through my hair prior to rinsing it out and my hair didn't feel as squeaky as I usually like.

BUT! After rinsing, I was able to comb my hair easily and, as my hair began to dry, the waves have shaped beautifully. It's smooth and still has body. It feels silky, looks shiny, and still has texture. Plus it smells delicious. It seems too good to be true... Hopefully, I'm not jumping the gun on my new romance.

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

So, when I first put the product in,I was actually kind of disappointed... I did the whole, break off a little piece, and when i got it in my hair it didnt feel like there was anything there. Now, I have really thick medium length hair but I also color it a lot and have bleached parts of it multiple times, so its dry and tangled and just needs a lot of conditioning, but i just figured if i need to condition my hair more when it dries I can. So after I rinsed everything out i did use a little bit of the R&B hair moisturizer in the ends, but i really dont think I needed it. When my hair dried it was soft and not tangled and even my rough over processed ends felt amazing, and it smells good. I also like the fact that it is solid, because i travel a lot. And something with the solid that i noticed some people didnt like was that you cant fit it in a tin, but if you are buying it in the shop (or you can do this at home by yourself) is to ask the attendant to cut it in half and then you can fit it in a massage bar container perfectly. any way, I love the conditioner, it's amazing, buy it.

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I got this as a sample a couple of times, the first time I tried it I hated it, I thought it was too hard to use and ended up throwing it away. Then I got it a second time, and decided to give it another try. Soo glad I did! It's super light, you might not think anything is on your hair. I find the best way for me to use it is to turn the water on a little hot, get my hands wet and roll the bar around in my hands and get the conditioner on my hands, and run it through my hair. Also pinching off a bit and smooshing it in my hands to make a kinda paste [similar to the cleansers] works good for the ends if you have dry ends.

I hope this makes sense, lol. If your not sure, get a sample! It's actually really good!

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I have fine, straight hair, and I'm not brand loyal about many things, but I can't live without my BIG shampoo. Well, last time I stopped in the store to buy it, they told me about the new conditioner, and I got a sample to try. The first time I used it, I wasn't too sure about it, but now that I've figured out the tricks to make it work well for my hair, I LOVE it! I've been using it for a month now, and it still works great. (I've been tricked too often before by a product that worked great for a few days but then started weighing my hair down.) Looks like I'll have one more item to be brand loyal to. :)

Here are my suggestions:

1. Rub it all over your hands and then work through your hair with your hands. I found this easier than rubbing the bar on directly.
2. Let it sit for a few minutes while you do other things in the shower.

I should note that I do use a spray-in heat protectant afterwards, and that adds some detangling power, b/c this doesn't perfectly detangle my hair. But I LOVE the way my hair feels using this combo of products - I haven't been this happy with my hair in a long time. It is soft and has lots of movement and I can run my fingers through it with ease. It's hard to find a conditioner that doesn't over condition my hair, but skipping conditioner altogether leaves me with tangled, unmanageable hair. BIG conditioner does the trick!

I only gave it 4 stars simply b/c of the lack of total detangling and because I don't love applying it. It takes longer to put on my hands than a liquid, and it takes a bit more effort to distribute it through my hair. But it's worth it for the final effect!

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

I don't shampoo my hair everyday, but when I do shampoo, I make sure BIG conditioner is with me.

I suffer from awful dandruff and dry scalp, and
by dry scalp I mean itching until my head bleeds.

This product is a God-send to me because it helped my scalp TREMENDOUSLY when nothing else would work.

A must have from anyone who suffers like I do!

Comments about Big Solid Conditioner:

Not sure about this one. I want to love it just as I love most of Lush products, but... Smell is awesome. The process of application - not so much. I have shoulder-long, relatively straight hair, that does not tangles. I expected Big Solid will apply as easily as solid shampoos do, but I kept rubbing and rubbing my hair with it, but it never felt that I have anything in my hair. I quit trying after a while, and just left my hair with whatever I got on, for 5 minutes or so. Then I rinsed. My hair felt very, very dry, coarse and tangly. Like it never felt before. I was afraid that I will not be able to brush it when blow-drying, and I sprayed 2-3 times with my bamboo oil spray. Well, my hair WAS hard to brush through, but I managed to get through it pretty quick. Drying time though was probably 3 times shorter than always! And in the end my hair was ok. Not its shiniest, but with some extra volume, and without extra frizz.
Bottom line - I will not buy it again. Taken how much the product melted, it will be pretty pricey. And I definitely do not recommend it for long hair.
