There’s something about the combination of Lush Cosmetics’ Big Shampoo and American Cream Double Strength Conditioner that makes my hair smell sooooo good. Ever since I started using them last December, I received many compliments from ladies smelling my hair from up to 4 feet away! haha
I only got the smallest bottle of the American Cream Conditioner, since I didn’t know how I would like it — the smallest size shown on the right is 3.3 fl oz for $8.95, and it lasted me about 3 weeks using it 3 to 4 times per week (keep in mind that I have long hair). Now I wish I had gotten a bigger size (8.4 fl oz for $18.95; 16.9 fl oz for $28.95), because the strawberry vanilla scent is amazing! In addition, American Cream is made of fresh oranges, honey, and clary sage to make your hair softer, shinier, and bouncier (as well as hydrating dry ends)!

Big Shampoo (shown below) only comes in one size… big.
It’s a bit pricey for $22.95 for 11.6 oz, but mine lasted for well over 2 months (3 to 4 times per week) and I think it’s well worth the price. This volume-inducing shampoo is made with over 50% fresh sea salt that gives your hair oomph. Big also has avocado butter for softness, lime juice for shine, and seaweed for strength.

At first glance, this shampoo looks a bit odd with all that sea salt. When you first apply it on your hair, it will look like the picture below on the left. Once you gently massage it into your hair, the sea salt easily dissolves and will look like the picture on the right. Coarse salt is very effective in lifting hair from the roots, giving you natural volume. Since my hair is long, I could notice a little more volume and bounce to my hair, but I would imagine that the volume would be even more noticeable on shorter hair.

If you want to have good hair days with hair that smells fragrant yet light, then give these a try!
Lush is known for their fresh handmade products made from organic fruit and vegetables, essential oils, and safe synthetics. I have been a big fan of their products, and have written reviews on some of their facial products, like the Lush Colour Supplement that can be used as a concealer, foundation, or tinted moisturizer and Lush Lip Scrub to exfoliate your lips!

I just visited my local LUSH store yesterday for the first time. I’m lucky enough to live near one of only 3 in my state! OMG! I am SO hooked already.My entire family is smitten. All three of my kids are DYING to take their next bath/shower! lol
You had at me at “Volume”. I think I’ll give this one a try.
Hi Sara! That is too cute! LUSH makes so many great products!
Hi Lily! How long is your hair? I always blow dry my hair — after using these LUSH products, I definitely saw some extra lift. Let me know how you like it!
Hi Wycee,
My hair is layered and down to my underarms. I usually can’t stand Lush products due to the overbearing scents, I always speed walk pass the store when I’m in the mall, but after your review I went out and bought the Big shampoo and I must say, great results and I absolutely love it!!!
Thank you!!!
Hi Lily! I finally got the huge 16.9 fl oz bottle of American Cream at Lush a couple days ago after being without it for a while. Yes, all the different scents in the store just kind of beat up my nose haha
I’m so glad you are enjoying your Big! I always have great hair days when I use these.
I’ve never tried any Lush products, but I’m down to try anything for some volume in my hair. I’ll have to try n look out for this next time I’m near a Lush store..
