Lush Lust: Jumping Juniper Review

I used to be scared of solid shampoo. I tried this natural one from Whole Foods ages ago, and not only did it not lather well, but what I got onto my hair completely destroyed it, leaving behind a dry, tangly mess. Therefore, I was rather skeptical when trying the Lush Solid Shampoo bars.

I got Jumping Juniper as a part of a hair kit that Lush put together last summer, and I am now completely sold on the whole solid shampoo thing. This lathers better than a lot of liquid shampoos, lasts ages (if you use a soap-saver to keep it from melting in a puddle of water), is great for traveling (solids in a carry on = not taking up space in your liquids bag! :D), is great for the environment (no packaging - even recycling uses the environment's resources), and makes your hair super shiny. Also, it barely has a fragrance, so if you are sensitive to fragrances, this won't bother you.

I just wet the bar, wipe it all over my wet hair, and massage it in with my fingers.

As much as I love this, I'm not sure if I'll repurchase it. It's supposed to be for oily hair, and as mine is quite dry, I think I'll try one of the other Lush solid shampoos for dry hair (like Godiva). But if you have oilier hair, this is perfect.

Jumping Juniper is also one of the cheaper shampoo pucks that Lush makes at $9.95 as opposed to $10.95, so if you want to save a dollar...
