Did you like the Lush bars? I have checked them out on line but they seem expensive. Do you have any problems using a conditoner?

I do like the Lush solid shampoos but I am very curious and like to try other new shampoos until I absolutely fall in love with one. Lush shampoo is very cleansing and the texture of the shampoo bar is rough so it really gives your scalp a good scrubbing expecially dry scalp. The cons about the shampoo are if you have any color in your hair it will wash it out. The shampoo leaves behind leaves, seaweed, little pieces of bark in your dreads. Whatever the shampoo happens to be made of. But I usually blow dry my hair and they the leaves or seaweed pieces fall out with no problem. The shampoo last for 80 shampoos according to the sales associate. I got through about 6 to 8 shampoos no lie. I don't know where that lady got 80 from. They are lil pricey around $10. I think I paid $23 for the conditoner which is maybe 8 oz. I just started using conditoner on my dreads because they seemed really dry and I noticed some breakage at the ends. I wouldn't suggest conditoner unless your dreads are really tight and locked. The conditoner did loosen up the ends of the ends of my dreads but I just backcomed and palm rolled and they were fine. If you do try a Lush shampoo try the Squeaky green. They also have one called Godiva that has conditoners in it but it smells really good I am going to buy that one next time. I hope this helps you the shampoo is worh a try. Right now I am using a shampoo made by Carol's Daughter the work really well to. I think they have a website if you want to check them out. Peace

I use the Lush shampoo bar 'soak and float' it smells like campfire (cade), which I love. I break off a peice and dissolve it in a squirt bottle of warm water. That way the little leaves can't get stuck in my dreads. It works very well. I squirt it in and massage my scalp before I ever even get in the shower! The one I am using now has SLS, though I didn't realize when I ordered it. I think it is SLS-free in the latest catalog, though. It has been more beneficial to my scalp than any other shampoo I have tried.

I love my Lush Shampoo Bar! I only discovered them back in December, but swear by it now. I've had dreads for 7 years so they are quite long (past my waist) and I tend to wash em 1x per week. I bought a Shampoo bar at the end of December and I still have a small bit of it left now, and that is considering I also do a "rinse and repeat" each time. I use the Soak n' Float bar, and though they say it smells of tarmac, i think it smells absolutely lovely, and has been the only thing that helps my itchy scalp.

I tried Knotty Boy myself, as well as Dreadhead before, and didn't like either, to be honest. Still have partial bottles of both under the sink in the bathroom.

nice to hear Lush is kind to dreads I am addicted to their products.
