New Shampoo Bar

Comments about LUSH NEW!:

I was amazed at how well this shampoo lathered! It's my first solid shampoo, but I will be a lifetime user. It's really an amazing product

My whole family uses this product - if low on soap or out of shaving cream, it is so rich, gentle, and makes sooo much lather that you can use if for all the above. If you have to travel just take New! You have to learn how to store it: leave it up on one end, allowing it to drip dry. You cannot shut it in the tin or leave it to soak or where water will run over it. If you buy in the store they will give you these tips, if you have a good salesperson. My kids also use it (2 teenage boys - they love it!). I find it lasts forever.

I was skeptical about this product as I have wavy/curly thick hair, and I didn't think a solid shampoo would get all of it clean, let alone help me grow mine back out! Well I was wonderfully mistaken!! LOVE THIS! I love the cinnamon scent, it lathers well and quickly, and my hair dresser even commented on how fast my hair has been growing since my last appointment! I'm excited to try some others, but will definitely continue to use this product!

I used this product for about a month and a half after it was recommended to me by a sales associate at the Lush store. Probably due to a change in seasons, my scalp was really dry and flaky
(ick!!), and I had just discovered Lush's solid shampoos. I couldn't bring myself to try Soak N Float because of its smell, so the girl at Lush recommended New as an alternative.

Upon my first wash, I couldn't believe how fun this shampoo was to use. It gets really foamy and bubbly and feels great as you work it through your hair. It also smells delicious. Then you rinse it out- my hair felt like a dried out rat's nest every time. I followed it up with Jungle conditioner but this didn't seem to make much of a difference.

I would say the dryness is my only complaint. Ironically, my scalp is no longer dry now, just my hair! New really does a good job of cleansing your hair though, and I can go a couple days between washes without it looking greasy. I think I'll just switch to another solid shampoo with more hydration. I would recommend this shampoo if you want more body to your hair, need a good cleanser, or if your scalp is a little dry.

I bought this shampoo and I was really excited. I was told about how I'd get more washes out of it than a regular sized bottle of shampoo and I was sold. I purchased the tin can to go along with it.

After my first use, I dried up the shampoo and stored it in the tin can. It got stuck. I had to pry it out multiple times and at this point it started to break apart. This process continued to the point that after 2 weeks that my shampoo had broken into two and there was a soupy layer of liquid shampoo forming at the bottom of the tin can.

I didn't really know what I was doing wrong. I feel like this shampoo is super high-maintainance for it to not completely fall apart and I don't have the time to sit and clean my tin can every single time I wash my hair. I am confused as to why I had such a terrible experience whereas it was great for everyone else.

It also left my hair feeling pretty dry. Now my hair is super oily and for it to feel unusually dry is weird. My hair felt unhealthy.

A LUSH saleswoman recommended this product when I mentioned that I was trying to grow my hair longer but that my hair had been the same length for months. She said this bar would help stimulate hair growth and she was right! I've used this bar for two months a few times a week, and my hair has grown another three inches. I tend to use it a few times a week because it is very cleansing and (maybe I'm imaging it) drying. I like to use it between uses of Ultimate Shine and Karma.

PS - I am always so confused by the name of this shampoo bar. Was the LUSH naming department out to lunch when this shampoo bar was created? It's so confusing to see the word NEW! when looking at products. I always think this is a new shampoo bar, but I have to remind myself it's not. The name NEW! isn't memorable either.

Wonderful smell and lasts FOREVER. Definitley a good financial buy.

I love how this product makes my hair feel, and I have found that it helps your scalp.

My Husband has thinning hair and I told him to use it but the cinnamon bark scratched his head. I found the bark would tangle in my hair, and I am happier now that the bark has fallen out.

Lush take out the cinnamon bark and this product will be even better.

So the only other place I have ever gotten anything for LUSH was in the Netherlands, and when I found out they had one in Dallas I just HAD TO GO! I had already tried a different kind of shampoo bar from them and it was legit! So I had an associate help me and she said that this one had nutrients that aided in hair growth. I was pretty much sold at this point (I had a lady cut 9 inches off of my long hair and regretted it) because my hair already grows really fast and i was hoping that this would help it grow even faster! And the answer is YES! I am SOOOOOO happy with this product! :D mad props to LUSH!

P.S. if you aren't extremely fond of the smell of cinnamon this isn't too strong and really grows on you!

I finally took the vegan dive, thus, the Lush dive! I was looking for a cone-free shampoo that would wash my hair well, not dry it out too much, is vegan, and would help me on my journey to grow my hair longer. Wow, little did I know that I would find all of that in one bar! Not only that I tried using it by itself without Veganese conditioner afterward, dried my hair, and it was still super super soft and shinier than it has ever been in years, I'm HOOKED. I've always wondered how I could get my hair super shiny like I've seen other girls do, now I know my secret :)

I soak my hair and squeeze out a bit, then I swipe the bar in strokes all over my scalp, start scrubbing, I scrub for quite some time to let the hair-growth herbs sink into my scalp well, then let it sit for about another minute, and rinse. All of the herbs in this bar are great for thinning hair, and accelerated hair growth, as well as an oily scalp without over-drying it. My scalp is nothing but happy and soft

One con, if you have damaged ends, it will dry them out a bit. Healthy and undamaged hair that I have did fine with it. Then again, it is already damaged hair, there isn't too much you can do about it once it's damaged. I think I am going to try Godiva for my ends :)

I just want to put it out there, this is no miracle cure for falling out hair. You will not wake up the day after use to a head of new healthy hair. It does however help with hair shedding in the shower, after I use my NEW bar and put conditioner in my hair I comb it out wit my fingers and since I began using the NEW bar less hair comes out when I am combing my hair. Which is great, so when you use this you lose less hair, even when you are on medications that cause hair to fall out (which is why I bought it) so if you want to lose less hair pick up the NEW bar. It also stimulates the scalp when you message it in which promotes new growth.

This is my first shampoo bar, and I have to say I'm very impressed with the results on my hair. It leaves my hair soft and clean without being dry. To use it, I do 5 simple downward swipes with the bar (lower half of both sides of my head, upper half of both sides of my head, and straight down the middle), and that creates plenty enough lather to wash my hair thoroughly. I use it once every two days, and on my "off" days I still shower, get my hair wet, and rub/massage my scalp, but I don't wash my hair. I don't condition my hair unless I do something harsh to it (usually going in the ocean... the salt water really dries out my hair). Even just shampooing with this shampoo bar once every two days, my hair looks great and has never been healthier. (I should probably add that I don't dye my hair or heat style in any way, which is part of why I don't need to condition my hair.)

My hair was squeaky clean after 1 wash.

I like this shampoo. It's very mild on my scalp, but helps keep my dandruff in check. It lathers so well, and is a great bargain as one bar usually lasts me several months. I love the cinnamon smell. It blends well with the other hair products that I use.

Comments about LUSH NEW!:

This shampoo is wonderful! It smells great and lathers very nicely. My hair always comes out smooth, soft and easy to style. The only thing that would make it better would be to have a matching conditioner! The cinnamon is wonderful! I leave it out to dry in the shampoo tin so it will make the room smell great.

I have course, thick, wavy hair and so it would seem that this wouldn't be a product I would need to even consider trying. Although, recently I was not very nice to my hair and dyed it with one of those new harsh chemical foam box-dyes (btw, don't ever try one of those, they are horrible). And soon after more of my hair would show up on my comb and when I would run my fingers through my hair, more than what I was used to. A while back I had suggested NEW to a friend of mine who has extremely thin hair. So she took the plunge and bought a bar and I tried it out while she stayed at my house.
Whoa is all I can say! For years I used Karma Komba for the amazing scent and the detangling action. I recently started using Seanik and was fairly happy with it...but this stuff, this stuff is great! Within two washes I found less of my hair was falling out. On the first wash I noticed twice as much detangling than Karma Komba. Each time I used it (paired with Veganese which I was happy to report I didn't need to use very much of) my hair was shiny, soft, and far less wild than it usually is.

My only con is that the bar is squishy, not hard like the others I have tried in the past (all except for Soak N Float). I don't know if that is because of the cinnamon stick pieces in the bar or the formulation itself.

On the smell, I usually don't like anything that claims to smell of cinnamon because I dread the false Christmas-y smell you would usually get. And when I first smelled this in the shop I figured that was what I was in for. But when it lathers the clove and cinnamon come together in harmony and produce a scent that is more Big Red than Pottery Barn. Which is fantastic because it lingers a bit.

I cannot get over how amazing this product smells. I only wish this was a 2-in-1 bar! The peppermint and cinnamon really wake up my senses every time I use it. It really warms and tingles my scalp. For anyone with dry, itchy scalp, this is a good choice. A little goes a long way. Just the slightest rub between your hands and you will have a head fully of bubbles! I love this so much. :) I could never use another shampoo after this!

I have used this product for about 2 weeks now and I just noticed this morning that it leaves a residue. Sort of like a greasy syrupy residue, thats the best way I can describe it at the moment. Anyways the residue fades as it dries but it then leaves my hai dry and crunchy. I loved this product but after finally realizing the after effect it has on my hair I don't think I would make another purchase.

My boyfriend has been experiencing male pattern baldness during the past couple of years. I used to joke he shed more hair than the dogs. I gave this to him as a way to relieve both his hair loss and his dandruff and oh boy does it work. He had severe dandruff that has been lessened almost to the same degree as using high chemical shampoos. In addition, his hair loss has completely reversed (sort of). He, of course, has natural hair loss but we saw over the first couple of weeks that the amount of hair loss lessened. It's been a few months now and I can say his hair is definitely thicker so not only it he not losing as much hair but it seems like his hair is growing back and staying. This stuff is a miracle worker. Please Lush never discontinue or my honey may be bald!!!

I now swear by this shampoo! I have recommended it to many friends, and plan on continuing to purchase it.

I have medium/long, hair that I have completely tortured with dyes and heat, as well as occasional winter flakes for the first time this year. This shampoo bar is a complete life saver! Not only did it rid my scalp of any dryness (after one use), but I only shampoo my hair about twice a week and it doesn't get greasy between washes. Although I would only recommend that if you have dry to normal hair, not hair that tends to be on the greasy side anyways.
It cleans SO well, and you barely need to use any for it to get completely sudsy- I only do the typical three or so swipes down my hair as well as a quick lather in my hands which seems to be sufficient. The shampoo has an amazing, natural cinnamon smell that fills your entire shower and gently scents your hair (not enough to clash with conditioners or other hair products).

On another note, for others who are saying they wish the solid shampoos would last longer in their showers, I don't use mine without the tin. It is definitely worth the extra couple of dollars. I have used only this shampoo since early winter and I am just now getting towards the end of my first bar.
