The Golden Cap

I am frankly surprised by how many reviewers dislike the smell of this product. I used to love the Creme Anglaise body lotion and this conditioner shares that scent. I couldn't stop smelling my hair after I showered with it the first time. I would recommend it highly to anyone who misses Creme Anglaise. Simply as a conditioner, I thought it had nice "slip," more so than Big or Jungle, and my hair was surprisingly detangled.

I have long fine hair that is naturally wavy. For a long time I had issues with dryness and split ends and I just couldn't find a conditioner that could help me keep my hair soft and moisturized. Then I was recommended this conditioner by an awesome person at Lush and now I am completely in love with Golden Cap! I was surprised how it would help me untangle my hair in the shower during my first time using it. And after the third time using it I noticed a HUGE improvement. My hair feels so soft now, and I love the shine that it brings to my dark hair. I am receiving so many compliments! It has a lovely vanilla smell that isn't strong and it doesn't leave any residue on my hair. I also love how it helps me untangle my hair during the shower, which I thought it was impossible! :)

Lush products are addictive. I have been a customer in the past and had to stop because I couldn't stop buying every new product that they make! However my daughter recently got a job at a Lush store. Soon after that I celebrated a birthday. I'm sure you can see where this is going. I received a beautiful gift of Lush products selected by my daughter. Today I used a shampoo bar and a conditioner bar. I also used a delightful sparkly star-shaped shower bomb which produced gorgeous foamy, silky suds. The shampoo bar is new and smells strongly of cinnamon which acts as a volumizer. The gold cap conditioning bar has a lovely clean scent and it definitely adds shine. Hooray for Lush you just keep getting better!

I bought this to try as Jungle is discontinued. Compared to that, this one is not great. I found the smell sickly sweet, almost like baby powder, and I've found it more difficult to work with and that my hair doesn't seem particularly moisturized after. It's not the worst, but I definitely wouldn't bother getting it again.

This is my second pressed conditioner and I'm really enjoying how my hair looks and feels, it is moisturizing, but this smell. It's very strongly black licorice/anise to me and I hate it. I've found the smell usually goes away after I add in my styling products and blow dry, so it's manageable, but I worry that the smell isn't going away, I'm just not noticing it anymore haha. Does everyone around me smell horrid scent?!

I can't get over the smell it's so overpowering. The product was great for my hair but super disappointed about the smell

Bought a bar of Gold Cap two months ago because the American Cream bar was out of stock. For context I have shoulder-length, un-dyed, very fine hair. PROS: Pleasant smell, fun but subtle shimmer. Impressive structural integrity compared to other conditioner bars - Three weeks ago I cut it in half and it hasn't crumbled at all yet. CONS: Requires 3-4 minutes of vigorous rubbing to get the conditioner to transfer to my hair. Feels more oily than lotion-y. Hair does not feel moisturized or hydrated afterwards. Reminds me of the old solid conditioners that came before the current pressed conditioners, which in my opinion were never that effective. Overall I buy conditioner to make my hair feel moisturized, which this doesn't do, so I can't recommend.

I was excited to give this product a try since it was replacing the amazing Jungle bar. I unfortunately could not get over the scent to try it :( While we all have differing scent preferences I feel Jungle had a lighter and more appealing scent for a wider population. Golden Cap has an almost baby powder smell for me and if that is something you like then this is the bar for you!

I used the product once and seemed comparable to other lush conditioners I have used. However, I ended up having to get rid of it. I wasn't a huge fan of the smell and my partner found it nauseating. Really wish I could continue to use it because it seems to work fine, but the smell is so strong and really overpowers anything else I have in the bathroom!

Meh. The smell isn't bad, it has potential but I feel Like it takes a lot of work to get as much product as I need in my hair to detangle and condition. It is not as moisturizing as I thought it would be for my naturally curly hair. Maybe I'm just doing it all wrong?...
