Review: LUSH Big Shampoo


Lush products are a big hit and miss for me and their scents are really an acquired taste. Every time I watch a review or haul on YouTube about Lush it always makes we want to go down to Lush and get their products. But when i'm in-store after sniffing around the products, I usually don't end up buying. Some of their products seem or smell too artificially flavoured for me and do not really live up to the hype.

I know there are a ton of Lush product reviews online but i believe that everyone has their own opinion about each individual product and especially when it is a sponsored review I just tend to shy away.

Big shampoo however, has definitely been one of my recurring purchases from Lush. To be honest with you it is something i cannot live without. My hair is pretty long at the moment so every 2 weeks or so i do need to use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of all the build up from washing and hair products that i have been using. This product is really unique as it does have sea salt in it. The sea salt does a really good job in removing all that build up and giving my scalp a good clean. I don't really recommend it for someone to use this more than once a week though, because it really is clarifying and you don't want to over clean your hair, and much like the face a little oil is usually good for your hair. The shampoo has drying effect, so for those with really dry hair i would suggest for you to not use it too frequently and you might need a good conditioner after use. I also notice that this shampoo does give a lot of volume to the hair, so on days where i need a little bit of boost and volume i do reach out for Big......







... As for the formulation of this shampoo i have not been too impressed lately. Lush has changed its formulation, and the sea salts now are coarser than it used to be. When i say coarse it's really is coarse to a point where i tend to be more careful so as to not hurt my scalp. LUSH WHY OH WHY? The old formulation was really perfect and was not as big as what you can see in the picture above. The portions in white are the sea salts, and i think you have a rough (pun fully intended) idea of how coarse the texture of the salts are. Major plus point though: the smell of Big is my absolute favorite! It always reminds me of a beach vacation, because of the Extra Virgin Coconut oil that is infused in the shampoo. Oh, and let's not forget the Fresh Organic Lime Juice!

For those who would like to get their hands on the Lush Big Shampoo, Lush Singapore now does island wide delivery on their website here for SGD39 and if you are in the Orchard road area you can always pop by their store at Wisma Atria Shopping Centre.

Hope you guys have a fantastic day ahead!
