Lush Jumping Juniper

Having got bored and even more bored with trying different Shampoo’s that are available in every high street shops, all promising to turn your wild locks into luscious, frizz free tresses I decided that I would go to my ever increasing favourite shop – Lush for those people who haven’t yet worked it out, in the hope of finding that wonder shampoo. The problem with my hair is that whilst it is lovely and blonde it is thick (no comments, puns or remarks needed thank you) and I have a lot of hair on my head… so that can lead to a dry scalp making me look like one of those snowstorm ornament things you buy your Gran from holiday. Actually that is probably an over ...  Read the complete review

Well I suppose that I am a fully fledged member of Doo Yoo now, I have purchased my first Lush product! I just popped into my local store as my other half wanted to look in there for Christmas gifts. I was very intrigued by the solid shampoo, having not been particularly impressed with any other liquid shampoo that I have used in the past, except for perhaps Head and Shoulders. On seeing this one and that it was the one most suited to my hair type I thought that I would give it a go. It costs £4.53 for 55g and apparently contains lavender, the titular juniper berries, lemon and lime. The block itself is purple. On initial smell, the main scent ...  Read the complete review

Bored of the usual high street shampoo's and having a slight obsession with all Lush products, I decided it was time to give Lush's range of shampoo's a go. Lush do solid and liquid shampoo's and if I'm honest I wasn't particularly interested in the solid range, however I did read some positive reviews on the solid shampoo's so I looked more closely into them. I have terribly oily hair with dry ends and knew that Jumping Juniper was for me. Jumping Juniper is made from lavender and juniper to help control oily hair, and is bright purple in colour. Juniperberry oil has many good properties which can be beneficial to skin, and the antiseptic quality of the ...  Read the complete review

Another Lush review, I know, I know, I swear I will review something else soon! This is actually not a product I've just sampled for the first time in my recent haul of goodies, but one I've been using on and off for a few years and I am really impressed with. I think it was the first Lush product I ever tried. Jumping Juniper is one of Lush's solid shampoo bars - well they're called bars but to me a bar is rectangular, these are round like hockey pucks, but whatever - and is aimed at those whose hair leans towards the greasy side. They were produced to cut down on waste by using plastic bottles to package shampoo, but I've always bought them because the fact ...  Read the complete review

I get very greasy hair and in order for me to wear my hair down every day I would have to wash it every day, which obviously takes valuable time and is annoying when I hear other people state that it can take up to three days for their hair to become greasy. Well, I will never not love the shampoo bars. They are extremely easy to use, will build into a wonderful foam using less of the bar than you ever would with a liquid shampoo, and lasts for millions and trillions of washes (even with my hair!). In my early teens I experimented with all of the shampoo bars, as I obviously then was not aware of skin types and hair types etc. After realising that my hair was slightly ...  Read the complete review
