Jungle

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I have pretty thick hair down to my waist, and I haven't touched it with a scissors in almost three years. Discovered Jungle about a year ago, and use it every few days. I won't ever go back to other conditioner! I have NO split ends, and my hair has never been shinier or healthier.

I tried to use it in the bar form, but had a lot of trouble. It's easier for me to use a knife to scrape off little bits, and then put them in a container. I add hot water in a 2:1 ratio with the conditioner bits, cover, and in a few hours it's a thick paste - even when I accidentally use too much water, I can let it sit overnight and it will paste-ify. (An empty small Lush product jar works perfectly for this!) The only downside to this method is it's not as airline-travel friendly as the regular bar would be.

My scalp tends to the oily side, so I make sure to only get a little bit on my scalp and concentrate the use on the ends.

Also, I keep the bar in my shower to rub on my legs before I shave - gives me a perfect smooth shave every time.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I ordered this online before smelling it and when it came in, I HATED the smell, but it's still a thousand times better than Veganese (*ahem* LUSH needs more vegan conditioner).
The first time I used it, I decided I liked the smell, especially after my hair dried. I couldn't stop smelling it. But I couldn't really find any differences between Jungle and the salon bought stuff I was using before.
After I went through the whole puck, I decided to just keep buying it for the smell. It wasn't until about 2 weeks ago that I discovered that I could shave bits off of it and mix it with hot water to make it into a liquid conditioner (just enough for one or two uses at a time). I cannot believe what a huge difference it's made in my hair since then. My ends have gone from dry, straw-like, frizzy messes to shiny, silky, smooth, beautiful ends in two weeks. I will never go back to any other conditioner I've tried. Thanks for making such an amazing product, LUSH. I don't even really mind that I have to take 5 minutes to make this into a liquid/cream.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I did not like this product at all. I tried many ways to use it. Applying it directly to my hair, trying to rub it in my hand with water, nothing seemed to work. I did not like the smell so just when I was about to throw it away my boyfriend started using it and said it worked fine for him. So at least someone is using it

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I bought this with high hopes, but low expectations. I've used LUSH solid shampoos in the past and have enjoyed the scents and convenience, but never tried one of their conditioners. I have very thick, fairly long, quite curly, usually frizzy hair and I've never found a conditioner that helps to calm it down and make it shine. To my surprise and delight, this one actually does. I've been using it in conjunction with the Trichomania solid shampoo for about two months now, and am just now nearing the end of it. I'm just writing this review on my way to re-upping my supply of it because those two months have been the best hair months of my life. My hair has never been so soft, so sleek and so co-operative. I would go on, but I have to go buy more now.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

While on Accutane/isotretinoin, my normally Asian oily skin/hair/scalp has dried up with much scalp itchiness and flaking. The Snake Oil Hair Treatment and Soak-and-Float have worked wonders with dealing with the above symptoms.

I initially bought the Jungle just so that I would have a detangler/conditioner after using the Soak-and-Float shampoo. I wasn't really expecting anything great, but after just 1-2 applications of the Jungle, my hair is now soft, shiny, and glossy, just like after I've had a hair treatment.

I usually blow-dry and straighten my hair every 2 days, and my hair now has not looked so healthy since I was a child. I've tried many low- to high-end products before in the past too.

Instead of running the bar of Jungle down my hair, I use my nails to scrape off a little bit, and warm it up in my hands (not adding water). Then, I just run it through my hair, and clip my hair up. Wait 5 minutes, and then wash it out. It doesn't feel like there's anything in your hair or makes much difference during application, washing off, or even towel drying. After blow-drying and styling, however, my hair feels amazingly soft and shiny!

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I am slightly confused on the check boxes on this one, it seems to be talking about a floral arrangement??

Again, this is something I bought to travel out of state with. It works really well but I think it is a product people with extremly thick and/or curly hair might have a harder time with. I have very very, stupidly thick hair, and it wasn't a hassle to use but it deffinatly took more than the 3 strokes they say to use in the instructions. My hair is medium length, so I imagine people with longer hair would also find it a little more time comsuming than liquid conditioner. I really like the smell, and since I've been home, and back to my liquid conditioner, it has been sitting in one of the bathroom drawers and makes the bathroom smell so fresh and clean, I think even if it wasn't a conditioner I would buy it just for the bathroom. Once I managed to rub it into my hair enough it is very light and smoothing, and in general a great conditioner.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

This is my favorite conditioner, followed by American Cream. However, unlike American Cream, it has a much more subtle scent - perfect for when you want to wear your favorite perfume but still want a lovely smell when your significant other holds you and smells your hair. Because it's hard to crumble and mix in the shower, I recommend looking up Youtube videos about how to blend it with water so you have a liquid form. The smell lessens a bit, but it's easier to use. It also needs to sit on your hair for about five minutes before rinsing.
I go to a "hippie school" here in the USA and my sister tells me it smells like "dirty hippie" in the best way possible. Plus, the tropical smell is perfect here in FL where I'm in school, but the earthier tones are also great for colder climates. The conditioner works best in hot to cool weather, and during the winter, it's good to add a little extra to towel-dried hair. I've also discovered that it also works well as a styling cream when properly diluted. I have curly hair and it keeps it tame, soft, and shiny no matter how humid it gets in these sub-tropical climates.
Lastly, it works wonders as a shaving cream for people with sensitive skin. It's very nourishing and leaves no red bumps, plus your legs/pits/face/wherever will be baby soft!

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

Overall, I like this product. However, it is necessary for me to use R&B and completely blow dry my hair after I wash it. I used to just wash and go, but if I don't blow dry my hair feels really rough and untamed. But, once blowdried, my hair looks amazing. It still doesn't always feel as soft as conditioners with silicone, but it certainly looks great.

Also, at first I cut about 1/4 of the bar off thinking this would extent it's use, but it made it very difficult to use. So I would recommend leaving the bar intact.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I'm surprised to read that people need a lot of this product! I just rub it on my hands a bit and smooth it into my hair and it comes out looking awesome. I think I've been guilty of using too much conditioner in the past and even though it doesn't feel like much at all in the shower, I can't argue with these results! My hair is soft and nourished and light.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I am a lifeguard instructor, and I teach class every week, so I spend many hours a week in chlorinated water. I'm also a haircare freak. I have found that this conditioner does GREAT for pre-soaking my hair before entering the water every day. I just rinse my hair in warm water, then dampen the bar and rub it all over the shaft and ends. Then I get some of the creamy conditioner on my hands and rub a bit into my roots and scalp and leave it in while I teach. The next day, it's like my hair never went in the pool! Better yet I can still use my regular shampoos (usually Godiva or Seanik) with it, rather than chlorine neutralizer. Sometimes if there is excess conditioner, it will rinse off in the pool, so be sure that you only use what you need so your hair can absorb it. I hate using silicone and synthetic conditioners and shampoos for my hair when I'm swimming; I'm so glad that my beloved Lush products still save the day!

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

This, along with my Godiva bar, is the first thing I have tried from Lush, and I LOVE it! The first time I used both of them, I knew immediately that I love the smell - both of them are fragrances I'd probably never pick but they work great together and even the hubby noticed I smelled nice.

But more importantly, this stuff genuinely moisturizes the hair shaft. When I first used it, I thought, as my hair was drying, that it had dried my hair out, because I'm used to conventional conditioner. Most conditioners have at least some silicone in them to give you that slippery, soft feel. This one doesn't, which actually allows the hair to "breathe" and keeps it from building up.

When I first had this product in the shower, I thought for sure it wouldn't work - my hair didn't feel slippery like it normally does with conditioner in it. I did have to work it in a little more than what the instructions indicated.

After my hair was completely dry, it felt beautifully silky. And the next day, it seemed to get even softer. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has split ends or long hair like I do, because I can tell it is going to help me through the winter.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

This was way too heavy for my fine hair - couldn't get it distributed evenly and lightly enough through the hair, so it was impossible for me to use. I also found the scent too strong, such that it would compete with my regular perfume.

My boyfriend, however, took to using this when styling his hair, used it right up.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I have bought this product twice...mostly for the smell. It gives out wonderful aroma that stay on you hair for the whole day. But that's all I like about this product. The conditioner doesn't moisturize your hair enough unless you use a lot of it, and that will make your hair smell like heaven too. However, you will run out after 2 weeks.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

...because I want to stay in the Jungle! This is one of the best conditioners that I've tried in a long time and I've tried more than a few! I have curly-kinky hair which is by nature more dry than oily but still soft which means it is more easily damaged by the elements. This conditioner is awesome and I love the smell. I use Trichomania for shampoo and they pair well together.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

grabbed it on a whim, my hair is straw like and pretty well beaten up.

my first go was a complete failure, i was confuzzled by this "solid conditioner" so i didnt use it properly and it made my hair greasy and very heavy. so i decided id give it another chance to wow me and holy moly did it impress me!

shampooed my hair like normal, and ( i ut the bar into quarters) ran the small hunk through my hair *paying close attention to my ends and i was feeling no love still, and after rinsing it was not feeling like it was working when my hair was wet. but after i dried my hair... it was shiny and soft, smelled amazing and i didn't even have to straighten it...let me tell you how this will be a staple in my home from now on. and i will preach the gospel of 'solid conditioners' now im excited to give the solid shampoos a go! you have made a true believer out of me <3

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

This product is hard to apply but once you learn how to use it it's amazing. I have a ton of fine hair and the first two times I used it I totally over did it and the results were oily and heavy although my hair smelled fantastic. The instruction video didn't work for me at all. I use the top of the tin and add a small amount of jungle (pea sized, slightly bigger) and about 1-2 tbs of warm water in the shower. I mix it until it looks like a normal conditioner then apply to my ends. It doesn't give you the slick feeling of conditioners you are used to but when you dry your hair it's de-tangled and shiny. My favorite use is after I blow dry or straighten my hair; I take a small amount and heat it between my fingers/palms and use to smooth out fly-aways and give texture. The scent sticks around and it really smooths out my split ends.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I purchased this on Saturday and I have used it on my daughter's and my hair. My daughter has a lot of hair. It is fine and curly. My hair is shoulder-lenght fine and wavy. We both used Trichomania to wash our hair and applied Jungle after rinsing (duh). When I applied it to my daughter's hair, I was not sure if it was going to do anything at all. When I rinsed and towel dried her hair though I could comb it through without a problem. No tangles! On my hair I applied it as per instruction and let it set for 3 or 4 minutes. Right there and then I could run my fingers through my hair!! After rinsing and towel drying I used a little bit of R&B and I let my hair air dry. It is so shiny and soft! And, smells so good between Jungle and R&B!!! Another plus is that it will last a long time and when I am done with it there will be no bottle to throw way!

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

Maybe my hair is too thick for this product, but it did not make my hair softer or feel more conditioned. It was also hard to use and I had to break off huge chunks to feel like I was getting enough coverage. Breaking pieces off resulted in a lot being wasted. I like the smell but my husband said it made me smell like a hippy.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I have long (waist length), thin, extreamly straight hair that gets oily really quickly. It also gets tangly really easily. The main worry with this conditioner was that it wouldn't get rid of my tangles.
It takes awhile to get used to. It is a bit more difficult to apply than a traditional conditioner, but it's worth the extra effort. I personally get it wet in hot water in the shower, rub it between my hands to get it really slippery, and then rub it on the bottom half of my hair, like from my neck area to the ends. I stroke it up and down that length of my hair about 10 times until it feels really slippery and then I rinse it out.
It is a little bit more challenging to comb my hair out after using this conditioner when compared with traditional ones, but I still like it better. It gives enough moisture to make my hair look healthy and not dried out but it also doesn't weigh it down like other conditioners did.

Comments about LUSH Jungle:

I bought this months ago with a bunch of Lush goodies. I used it daily for weeks then, since I'm always looking for other products, started using some other things. This has lasted me for months, and I still have a decent amount left, but decided to buy a replacement anyway.

I personally love the smell. I can see how it isn't for everyone, but it reminds me of the smell of my local co-op (which has a lot of herbs and body products near the front door): earthy but inviting.

How I use it is mostly on my strands...I usually don't use this on my roots. I'll take the bar (back side usually) and run it down the length of my strands, top and underneath, and concentrate it on my ends. Then, like with any conditioner I use, I let it sit while I wash with other Lush goodies. When I rinse it, I feel like it rinses really cleanly. It doesn't leave my hair caked in product, but still manages to make it soft and smooth.

I don't know if it's this product, the shampoo bars or both, but I can honestly say that my hair dries quicker with this, and with more volume. It does NOT weigh your hair down at all. For that reason alone, I was sold. I can't explain it! I've used other products (from drug store like Aussie/Pantene to higher end Aveda/Wen) and love this product above the others.

Wish I had been around for Jungle perfume!
