Godiva

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I hadn't tried the solid shampoo from Lush before and picked up a bar of Godiva during my last trip with a friend who LOVES the solid shampoos. I. Love. It. I have thick hair and was worried that swiping it only a few times wouldn't produce enough lather but I do it about 3 times on the top of my hair and then lift my hair and do one swipe across the bottom layer just to make sure I get it all. Lathers wonderfully (and when it doesn't want to, I just add a little more water to my hair). It doesn't weigh my hair down or leave a funky feel to it. I don't feel dried out after using it and LOVE the smell. I'm leaving for 3 weeks in Europe soon and wanted to find a shampoo that will last AND make it through security.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

Product didn't condition my medium/long length hair at all and I ended up pulling out lots of hair while trying to comb it out after washing. The fragrance was too floral for my taste, too.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

This is the first shampoo I have tried with LUSH. I was fed up with my hair because it is very damaged from color and long and was getting very tangled every time I took a shower. Even though this shampoo is not for tangled hair is really has helped mine get healthier and less tangled. It smells amazing and the smell stays in my hair even until my next shower! I look forward to trying more of lushes shampoos!

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I bought this because I'm traveling to Europe this summer and didn't want to deal with bottles of shampoo and conditioner. I tried the product out at home and I loved it. It lathered really really well, which surprised me because I have very thick hair. It also smelled amazing and the smell lasted in my hair all day. My hair felt very clean after using it, but not dried out. I didn't use conditioner with the shampoo bar and my hair was fine.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I really liked the smell of this shampoo, but don't feel like it delivered it's job as a shampoo, especially as one for damaged hair. I was also told by an employee that these are supposed to last 13 months, and mine lasted about 3. When using the shampoo, my hair felt uncharacteristcly dry, crunchy, and tangly. I was so scared, it felt like it was drying my hair out. I rinsed and let it dry and it didn't feel the same but it is definitely not enjoyable to use. Also there were some strange bits in it that made me feel like it was inconsistent throughout the time I used it. It did not add any moisture either, it felt like it dried my hair out if anything. I also would not recommend this for color treated hair. I love you lush, your stuff ALWAYS smells good, but that's not enough. I will stick to liquid shampoo. Lush, hair is just not your thing.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

As a shampoo, it cleans & lathers very well, smells amazing, and gives my hair some good shine. The conditioning element isn't quite as strong as I'd like it to be, and avoid using it on the ends of my hair so it won't frizz it up. I wouldn't call it a 2-in-1 with the way it works on my hair, but as a shampoo it's fine.

My only real complaint is that the smell doesn't stay in my hair at all (and I really really wish it did!)

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I absolutely loved this product! This was part of my first online Lush 'haul' (our Lush store doesn't open till June) and my first shampoo bar experience. I picked this one because I love the smell of jasmine (in South India, women frequently will have jasmine flowers woven in their hair), and it definitely did not disappoint.

Even though I feel like I can just use Godiva as a shampoo and gentle conditioner, I do prefer to use another conditioner afterwards if I want very soft, silky smooth hair. But if I'm in a rush, I feel like I can skip the conditioning step. I've already purchased a second bar for my mom because she's in love with it too! #newLushie

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I was very skeptical about the idea of a shampoo bar ,but boy was i wrong this product hands down is the best thing i have bought at lush. It lathers well makes my hair feel smooth and just lovely. i don't love the smell but its not to strong so i can deal. If you're thinking about this product don't think just buy you will not be sorry promise.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I bought this as my first bar shampoo purchase. I was skeptical about the whole phenomenon at first, but I know that Lush makes great products so I gave it a whirl. Firstly, I use the Lust perfume and the Godiva shampoo bar has the same scent so I already LOVED that part of it. And it lathers well, and it seems as if it will last a long time if kept in a dry place, protected.

As far as the condition/don't condition debate, I think it really depends on your hair. My hair is medium thickness, naturally wavy and at the moment cut just above my shoulders. So, with the nice amount of butters in the bar, I can get away without conditioning when I use this shampoo. If your hair is very long, thick, curly, or dry, you may need extra conditioning!

That being said, I think it's a wonderful product. 5 stars and I'm recommending everyone try it or something similar.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

This is my very first time using a shampoo bar in my life! Usually I have to shampoo twice because my hair is so THICK and the first time I shampoo it doesn't lather well cause of the oils etc. but with this bar, one shampoo was all I needed!! I still did two cause I LOVE the smell and how clean it rinsed out! I didn't have a lush conditioner yet (it's coming in the mail cause I don't have a lush store near me) so I used my regular conditioner and applied the RB leave in and all I can say is I have never felt my hair so soft in years!!! I abuse the heck out of my hair (color, highlight, straighten) and I was shocked that my hair felt like I was 18 again!!! (I am 33 now) Thank You Lush!! I can't wait it use this with the American dream conditioner and the H'sung Wen Sua hair mask!!! Hurry up UPS man!!!!!:) LOL

Smells so good, but doesn't last long.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I love this solid shampoo! I have thin, fine hair, and where I live they add A LOT of chlorine to the water, so a moisturizing shampoo is a must. This wonderful product works easily into rich, foamy lather, smells absolutely amazing and is very moisturizing. I can't willingly skip conditioner, but if I need to, I am sure Godiva will keep my locks presentable. Like with all handmade bars (soap, shampoo or other), keep it in a cool, well drained place or it will melt away faster then you want it to.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

Hmm... so... maybe I'm just a freak but I actually don't like the smell of this product at all. It's very strong, and when I first used it I found the scent downright off-putting. I can stand it now, but I still don't like it very much. It does clean hair well and is a good shampoo overall, but I couldn't get by without using conditioner.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

My hair is thick, wavy, bottle blonde, and down to my fanny. Because of this, it can easily get dry and brittle if I wash it too much. In general, hair like this needs tons of TLC, especially the ends. After using Godiva in conjunction with American Cream, I saw immediate and drastic improvement. The most notable was it tamed my frizz and brightened the color. It's day three since washing and it is not greasy at all despite the climbing temperatures here in AZ. My only beef with it is the scent doesn't last very long and that it falls apart if you don't dry it out right away.

To use this product I wet my hair and rub it directly onto my hair from root to tip. After my shower, I immediately move it to a dry place to dry out before putting it back in the tin. You probably won't need to follow up with a conditioner if you have oily hair.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I absolutely LOVE this shampoo bar! I read all the comments that said that it dries out their hair, but it's not true. When I was rinsing my hair, it felt dry. The person from LUSH told me to not use conditioner after using this because when my hair dries, my hair will be soft and moisturized because of the cocoa butter or oil in the shampoo. She was right! My hair not only smells heavenly, but it is very soft and moisturized! One small flaw is that after I wash my hair and put it back in the tin, it melts and after about 25-28 washes, I have to buy a new bar. All in all, I LOVE THIS BAR! AND I LOVE LUSH!

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I first tried Godiva about four years ago. I bought it on the recommendation of a friend, but it just would not lather for me. I could only get it to lather if I stood under the running water and scrubbed it on my head and then stepped out from under the stream, held my hair flat in my hand, and swiped it four or five times across the length of it. My hair is a bit on the fine side, but wavy and long. Still, I thought I was using too much product.

I will say that my hair felt great afterward, smelled great - I loved it! But then I started to get dandruff. At first it was just a flake or two so I thought that I hadn't been thorough enough. Then it became enough that it was humiliating and noticeable from a distance. I started to use conditioner with the bar, but that barely helped. I had to use clinical strength dandruff removing shampoos for maybe three weeks before my scalp returned to normal.

Because Godiva smells so good and because I've been happy with other Lush products, I tried it again about a year ago. This time I tried it first with a cream conditioner from Lush (I don't remember the name, it was something I got a sample of) and it seemed okay. After that I used it with Big conditioner and even that seemed okay...for a few weeks. Then the dandruff started to come back. I tried to use Godiva only once a week, or only on the ends, but finally I just gave up.

My skin and my hair are very dry, but I don't usually use products that are specifically moisturizing. This was very disappointing.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

My first shampoo bar purchase from LUSH. I bought this specifically for the purpose of travel. I have color-treated, thick, normal to dry hair. Product did not strip my color and I swiped it four times because of the thickness of my hair and it worked up a good lather.
I did not want to attempt conditioner on the first try to see how well it works. It works well as a shampoo, definitely cleaned my scalp and my hair felt soft after drying it but the bar did not do anything spectacular as a conditioner.
I would still consider using this for travel and then using whatever the hotel (or whever you are staying) supplies as a conditioner (my hair reacts well to all types of conditioner), just to avoid packing a bunch of liquids, especially if you're only taking a carry-on.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I have never used a shampoo that has completely worked for my hair before. I have VERY curly and thick hair so making sure that my entire head is lathered in shampoo is a challenge. Godiva lathers very nicely, and makes my shower smell amazing. I have had it for about 3 weeks now using it every other day for showers and I still have much left of it. Definitely worth getting.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I was really hoping that this shampoo would be conditioning so I would only have to use one hair product in the shower. However on my hair it barely felt moisturizing as a shampoo. It left my hair feeling matted and coarse so I had to immediately use a conditioner. I gave it three stars because I adore the smell, one of the best smelling lush products, and it did leave my hair feeling clean but I will not be repurchasing this.

Comments about Godiva Solid Shampoo:

I have never used a solid shampoo bar, and I'm so glad I did! It smells wonderful and lathered up so nicely! It's a little small, but it seems to be lasting awhile.
