The Golden Cap

I bought this product two weeks ago and have been pleased with the results! I am not a glitter person myself, but I found the layer washed off of the conditioner in just a few seconds, and has not been a problem since. I personally do not mind the smell; I am also using the "Honey I Washed my Hair" shampoo bar, so I find that the two scents pair together nicely. But for me, this was what made me the happiest: I have *barely* wavy hair. But, after using this, I was shocked to see it form slight ringlets after drying. The lightness of the conditioner keeps my waves from drying out, without weighing them down. I have not gotten that result from any liquid conditioner before! Also, the shine on my hair has been incredible! I used to use a silicone product to increase shine, but even that does not rival the shine I have gotten from this conditioner. If I had curlier hair, I would lean away from this. However, with 2a hair, it has worked like a charm!

I've tried the 'big' conditioner bar and decided to get a different one. The smell is very subtle and sweet, and this one lathers a bit better than the big one. My hair is thick and curly and really makes it so soft afterwards. Love it!

The smell is amazing. Creamy, warm vanilla. Pineapple? I think so. Not like beer or hops. The exact smell is something I had to think long and hard about because it was So familiar. It's the Pot o' Gold Shower Jelly smell! Like, exactly that smell! Okay. Also my hair is so soft after using it. No frizz after air drying, almost flowy. And has a light perfume to it throughout the day. The pressed conditioner product is still something I'm getting used to, but I think it's just a learning curve. It's all about lathering in your hands. (I also use a reusable mesh soap bag to help it lather more). Will definitely buy again.

Glitter was a bother to get off; technically functioned as a conditioner (a little heavy? I used it twice, different amounts each time) but smell was tooooo much so it got trashed. Sample first!

The first use is nice, it's easy to apply and the shimmer is pretty, but after that it's hard to get any product to come off the bar and into my hair. You really have to scrub at it or scratch some product off and that still doesn't really do the trick. The scent is... Something. Definitely not too nice. I wouldn't buy this again and honestly if I knew beforehand what it would be like I wouldn't have bought it

My review is the same as all the other negative ones. My favourite quote from one user was that it's basically a "scented paperweight." I'm here for conditioner bars but this one never transferred any product into my hair.

I was so looking forward to this pressed conditioner being the one. First, I expected it to smell like something from the Honey I Washed the Kids family, but it didn't. it smelled like one of those plastic baby dolls from the 80's with this weird underwhif of dirty floor? Maybe it's the stout. Not a big deal, as I was still looking forward to how it would condition my hair. Once you get the glitter off, you have to really rub it between your hands to get any kind of product from it, and basically scrub your hair with it from ends to scalp. I have enough damage without adding that kind of brutality to my shower routine, so I thought I'd try to crumble a bit off to see if that made it easier. When I cut the bar in half, the inside smelled just like rotten fish for some reason, to the point where I physically gagged. Not sure if I just got a lemon or if there's something about the inside of these bars that just goes sour until it's exposed to air? Would love to talk with customer service about it, but it seems like they're more interested in trying to save the company $13 than fixing problems.

Tried actually rubbing the bar in my hair, then tried rubbing it on my scalp and it still won't work. It smells good but that is all I does. It's like a paper weight that smells good.

I love Lush products and my favorite conditioning bar ever is Jungle and unfortunately they discontinued it. I wanted to remain a loyal customer and try out this new product and I am deeply disappointed. This product dries my hair out so badly. Even after I put Super Milk in my hair, my hair is still left so dry and frizzy. I would technically give no stars because I can't even use this product and literally wasted $15.

Pros first. I've bought a lot of Lush's solid conditioners before, and i prefer the because they seem to last longer than liquid conditioner. For example, I bought candy rain back in September and had to replace it with this in November. Since then (it's now March), after using Golden Cap 2-3 times a week, I've seen very little difference in the bar. I probably have six more months or so before I'll need to replace it, which is pretty cool. The cons however.... For the first two months or so, the smell was overpowering. Like, I smell-it-from-my-room-across-the-hall-type overpowering. Bright side, it doesn't smell like beer. It also doesn't smell like vanilla. I dunno what the smell is tbh. Not in love with it. In addition, this bar doesn't slough off quite as easily as Any of the solid hair treatments I've used before (which could be why it's lasting so long). I have to really, really dig in to make it stay on my hair. These are minor issues. I could live with them. However. The real reason I will not be buying this bar again, is because of how badly it made me break out. I don't have a history of sensitive skin, but my back and shoulders look ROUGH. I love Lush products, but I won't be getting this one again.
