    I have a very short, messy style of hair and this is fabulous. I used to use Goth Juice or Big Tease to get the style, but they were unmoving and you couldn't re-style during the day. A little dab of Dirty and I can play and re-muss my hair all day long, smoothing down the front, spiking up the back, fluffing the whole thing around... whatever I want! And in windy Kansas weather, it'll stay where I put it, too. I have very thick, somewhat coarse hair, and this is fantastic to get it to stay "up" and where I want it without being stiff. Love, love love.

    I have VERY CURLY LATINO HAIR. I used this product right out the shower after I put R&B in it. At first my hair looked limp, so I thought "Hey, let me use my blow dryer to defuse it and help with the drying process"..yeah, lets just say my mom told me I looked like the Lion from The Wizard of Oz when I came out the bathroom.

    It smells GREAT (I like masculine scents), the hold is good, but for curly hair, it doesn't really make the curls stand out in a good way. It gives volume, but there's no way of styling your curly locks. However it dries is how it stays and a crazy mane is not what we curly haired chicas are looking for.

    I may keep the product because the price isn't that bad and it's a good "go-to" product for quick, out the shower, up-dos, but that's it.

    It also sucks for taming frizz. I think I may try the Big Tease instead, but this just wasn't for me.

    Best Uses

    • On dry hair

    Comments about LUSH Dirty Hair Cream:

    For men with curly hair that prefer a straight look (my hairstyle is the 1920's undercut... Jimmy Darmody look.) I use this after I've shampooed any debree out of my hair. I also like to use a hair dryer and bristle brush to smooth out the curls and waves in my hair before adding product. Once your hair is dry after brushing and drying hair into place, I rub a quarter size amount of the product vigorously on finger tips to palm. Then comb my fingers through hair and spread with palms evenly throughout the rest. Your hair will feel rewarded after this. The fantastic masculine smell will linger on for a few hours. I've had many compliments since using this. Don't miss out!

      Comments about LUSH Dirty Hair Cream:

      In attempts to Lush-convert my boyfriend, I bought him dirty hair cream. The smell is magical, its different on everyone and it blends with whatever other products you use. He has straight thick hair and uses it as a gel, he likes that it's not shiny.

      Everytime I would go to his house, I would sneak a bit of it into my hair. I have thick and curly latin hair which doesnt get washed every day to preserve moisture and texture.

      Here's the trick:

      wash and condition. I use trichomania or godiva, then jungle or retread. then style as usual, for which I use R&B.

      Dirty is a next-day fix. You can take a swipe of it and use as a pomade, or add some water to give it a creamier consistency. It won't get hard or crunchy, if you use the correct amount it wont be greasy and the texture it gives is just what the (hair) doctor ordered!

      I reset my curls this way, both for next day or when I am on the go. My curly haired sisters will understand when I say that curls expire with the elements, and dirty is the saviour. Eventually I bought my own, my poor boyfriend was wondering why he would run out so quickly. When mixed with the R&B it gives a very refreshing scent that lingers softly. I get many compliments about smelling good and I know its the Dirty.

      Dirty Works

      By Violet

      from Florida

      Pros

      • Good for curls
      • Good hold

      Cons

        Best Uses

        • Curly Hair
        • Frizzy Hair

        Comments about LUSH Dirty Hair Cream:

        I have VERY frizzy curly hair that I've struggled with for years. I succumbed to a straightener/treatments for the past 6 years, but a few months ago I decided to go natural. I started using R&B which was wonderful, but I live in a very hot/humid place and my hair is extremely thick and frizzy, so I definitely needed more hold. I was at Lush and one of the employees recommended Dirty to me and gave me a sample. I washed my hair, combed it, and applied some R&B and Dirty on wet hair, and it was amazing! I am so happy. It gave my hair a lot of volume, defined the curls, and completely got rid of the frizz. I couldn't stop admiring my hair in the mirror. It also didn't make the curls crunchy at all, they looked soft and defined.

        The smell is very strong, but I think it wears off a bit through the day and I know I got used to it. Its a wonderful product.

            Comments about LUSH Dirty Hair Cream:

            FIrst of all, the smell is amazing. Even on days when I don't need hair product I still put a tiny bit of this in my hair just to smell it all day. Having short hair, I need something with good hold that isn't too sticky or makes my hair rock hard, and this is just the thing for me. It keeps your hair soft, in place all day, and smelling fantastic. It also lasts a long time since a little goes a long way. If you're not sure, just try it. I promise you won't be disappointed.

              Absolutely love this product. It smells great first of all, and it lasts ALL day long. I take a finger tip amount, rub over my hands, and run through my hair. It sets quickly, and holds each hair in place. Dries quickly, which is awesome, and holds all day long.

                Comments about LUSH Dirty Hair Cream:

                I took a finger tip and a half, massaged it all over my hands, applied it by running my hands through my hair in the opposite direction of how I wanted it to sit. After you pull the hair into place and there is a nice, volumizing effect without the greasy look. I have very fine hair that gets really oily, really quickly with bad product and a lot of pomades. This worked really well and smells great. My hair looks very naturally textured.

                  Comments about LUSH Dirty Hair Cream:

                  I wanted to start using a styling cream that would not make my curly Hispanic hair frizz, dry, flaky or feel crunchy, so what better products to check out than in LUSH? The Lush attendant suggested this product.

                  When I tried it out for the first time I washed my hair (with Big shampoo and Retread conditioner ... LOVE) and put the product straight on my damp hair. I let it air dry and WHOOLA my curly hair was shiny, smooth to the touch, soft and bouncy, and very little fly-a-ways. I always receive compliments on my curly hair since I begun to use this product.

                  Just don't use too much of it or it will be too much. I feel great that I'm using a great product with natural products in it.

                  I gave this four stars because while I cannot stand the smell and found it overbearing, the product is incredible. If you like the Dirty fragrance then I definately recommend.

                  I was disappointed that its smell did not really match the description. A lot more of the Thyme than any other scent.

                    Comments about LUSH Dirty Hair Cream:

                    I am a girl with super fine, thin, dark hair. I wear it short (about half way down my neck) and very layered because when it's long, it becomes even more obvious how thin and fine it is. I prefer a messy, frilly style, but no matter what products I used, it was always obvious that my hair was fine and thin, pomades all weighed it down and plastered it to my head, hair powders always made it feel gross and get tangled too easily.
                    On one of my tri-monthly Lush binges, I decided to give Lush Dirty a try and am I ever glad it did! In the bottle it smells very herby, but once it's on your hair other scents start to come out that make it smell clean and fresh (try rubbing some into your wrist at the store, because the smell in the container really is different).
                    This product really does have a great hold, and on my super fine hair (which is also very shiny), it builds up without weighing it down. It has a mattify-ing effect which makes my hair appear thicker and more full, and, even though this might sound like a contradiction, because of this mattify-ing effect, it actually brings out natural highlights that I didn't even know my hair had!
                    I use it when I get out of the shower on my damp hair, brush it into the style I want and let it air dry. Once it's dry, I brush it again into the style I want, coat my hands with the product and work it through again for finishing details. I've never found a need to re-apply throughout the day, but if I need a touch up, it doesn't get tangled like other products, so I can just run a brush through my hair and muss it up all over again!
                    I also feel as though I should add one final thing. I live in Boston and over the past few days, we've had a ridiculous heat wave (95+ degrees!) and when I used to use pomade in similar weather, it would literally melt on my hair, leaving me looking disgusting and totally greasy for the entire day. Not the case with Dirty! I can get into my sweltering car, put the windows down and not worry about cranking my AC just to keep my hair looking decent because this product does not melt in the heat!
                    If Lush ever discontinues this product, I will be absolutely inconsolable!

I have natural african american hair (mostly 4a for those who go by hair type) and i have tried so many products to use for wash and go's and none of them get the job done right (leave my hair dry, cause build up, no curl definition, bad ingredients, etc.) I bought this this styling cream yesterday and worked it through my freshly washed, wet hair in the shower this morning and when I got out ad looked in the mirror, I WAS AMAZED!My hair smelled great (this product has a very natural fresh/minty smell)and looked awesome! When it was mostly dry a few hours later, my hair felt soft, had get curl definition, and was left moisturized! Couldn't ask for more! THANKS LUSH!

                      I have very short curly hair and typically used gel to style my hair. I decided to try this because one of the descriptions was "gives hair a wet look." Unfortunately for me, my hair looks pretty dull when I use this product. I love everything about it except the lack of shine. Leaves my hair soft but controlled, tames frizz and smells great. But no shine. That just won't do :(

                          I went from very long fine hair to very short hair. I bought this for my husband for Christmas but in the end grabbed it from his shelf and never returned it. I DID return the expensive item my hair stylist recommended I use. I will be heading to LUSH to get my second pot of DIRTY! It is easy to use, lightweight and allows you to sdjust your style during the day, if needed. Love this product! Thanks.

                            This should be renamed to "Yes, ma'am!" because it makes your hair do what you want! I was amazed when I tried it - it is what I have been looking for all my life! (and I am in my late 40's). I am a female w/ curly & fine hair which can be a difficult combo to hold a style or ever look good. This product smooths my hair, gives volume, and holds the style without making my hair greasy or flat - a combo I have never been able to see another product achieve. my friends were amazed at the difference in my appearance. I use a tiny amount, rub together on fingertips and quickly & lightly spread thru hair. Different amounts give different effects. Whoever formulated this is a genius - PLEASE don't stop making this LUSH!!!

                            I have a very short, messy style of hair and this is fabulous. I used to use Goth Juice or Big Tease to get the style, but they were unmoving and you couldn't re-style during the day. A little dab of Dirty and I can play and re-muss my hair all day long, smoothing down the front, spiking up the back, fluffing the whole thing around... whatever I want! And in windy Kansas weather, it'll stay where I put it, too. I have very thick, somewhat coarse hair, and this is fantastic to get it to stay "up" and where I want it without being stiff. Love, love love.

                            I walked into Lush and told the lady I was looking for a "styling cream that holds without making my hair hard or stiff or crunchy" and bingo she took me straight to this little pot that goes a long way with just a little dab.
                            For going out I scrunch it in for fun sexy volume and it keeps my side fringe in place all day. For work I sleek my hair back in a bun and it keeps the flyaways in check.
                            I also got my husband using this product cuz he loves the herbal scent & it's just like his drugstore styling cream, only mine is earth & animal friendly :)
                            I love converting people to great products with a clean conscience!

                                  I have VERY CURLY LATINO HAIR. I used this product right out the shower after I put R&B in it. At first my hair looked limp, so I thought "Hey, let me use my blow dryer to defuse it and help with the drying process"..yeah, lets just say my mom told me I looked like the Lion from The Wizard of Oz when I came out the bathroom.

                                  It smells GREAT (I like masculine scents), the hold is good, but for curly hair, it doesn't really make the curls stand out in a good way. It gives volume, but there's no way of styling your curly locks. However it dries is how it stays and a crazy mane is not what we curly haired chicas are looking for.

                                  I may keep the product because the price isn't that bad and it's a good "go-to" product for quick, out the shower, up-dos, but that's it.

                                  It also sucks for taming frizz. I think I may try the Big Tease instead, but this just wasn't for me.

                                        this stuff is fantastic if you have short hair and you want to keep those little hairs in place. I love the hold it gives, and the smell is amazing. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a moderate hold, without the crunch. It can sometimes give a slick look, but that usually goes away, but I don't mind the slick look it's in right now!! My hubby even uses it to keep his hair styled. We both love it and the tub is big, you only need a dab.

                                          Got this in the Dirty box set and unfortunately had to send it to a male friend as the scent is VERY masculine. A shame, because otherwise I LOVED the consistency/feel of the creme and it worked great! Great for smoothing over frizzies and made hair soft/moist. Just couldn't get past the strong manly scent all day. Also it made my scalp itch, but I have very dry/sensitive scalp so hopefully that wouldn't be an issue for most.

                                              Hey Maria22,

                                              I have very curly hair, but my hair is also very thin. I suggest to go to your nearest Lush store and get a sample. This will allow you to check out the product without spending the whole amount. Samples are usually free and Lush employees will be more than happy to supply you with some.

                                              My experience with this product has been positive. This is a great alternative to gel or mousse for me. However, every head of hair is different. Since your hair is thick I wouldn't be able to guarantee that this will be great for you. BUT it does work for me and I do have very curly, dry, fly-a-way hair.

                                              Hope you get a sample and like it. If not there's always Big Tease you can try too. Have fun!

                                              Depends on how you like your hair. If you're looking for natural, yes. If you want some measure of control with very curly hair I'd say look for something with a stronger hold.

                                              I find that the Dirty is a great product for exactly that! It doesn't leave you with that crunchy feeling that some other hair products can (although when you first start to use it, be sure to apply sparingly, as a little can go a long way, and too much can leave you looking a little bit greasy/weighed down). Enjoy!
