I have been avidly using Lush's 'Big' shampoo for the past 6 months and absolutely adore it, along with some of there solid shampoo bars, so thought it was time to give their conditioning treatments a whirl too. As someone who has naturally fair hair that has a few highlights in it I opted for Marilyn. The Marilyn Hair Treatment is specifically designed with blonde hair in mind, but can be used on all fair hair. It contains extra virgin olive oil, linseed mucilage and soya lecithin to improve your hair condition and several brightening and lightening ingredients which include lemon juice, lemon oil, and charmomile. The treatment is supplied in one of Lush ...  Read the complete review

So, with Summer imminent I took a little trip to my local Lush to find some products to brighten and lighten my dull winter blonde hair and give me a sunkissed and shiny look for the holidays. As always the very helpful sales assistant pointed out a few products for me to try. I came home with Marilyn hair moisturiser as one of them and couldn't wait to try it out. Marilyn itself (quite aptly named after Ms Monroe) is a creamy almost custardy yellow conditioner and comes in one of Lush's big black tubs (collect 5 to return for a free fresh face mask!). The smell is heavenly chamomile with a hint of lemon, a really 'soft' scent yet one which is strong ...  Read the complete review

If, like me, you spend a lot of time battering your hair with chemicals, bleaches, scalding hot straightening irons and tongs, you might find that your hair eventually gives up and lacks life and lustre. There are lots of shampoos and conditioners on the market which will claim to bring life back to damaged hair but I haven't found anything which works quite as well as Marilyn hair moisturiser from Lush. I use a lot of Lush products and have never had any complaints about any of them and I think Marilyn has to be my favourite. So, what is it? Marilyn is a moisturiser for your hair (whatever will they think of next?!) which, when applied ...  Read the complete review

When I was a child, I had very blond hair, and my mum was determined it was going to stay that way, which is why our garden always had a little patch of camomile and an infusion of the flowers was used for rinsing my hair. It worked to an extent and I remained fairly blond. That is until I moved to Britain and the sun to rain exposure ratio was reversed... Now being blonde is not something I obsess over and I certainly wouldn't mind nice brown or black hair, but my hair was starting to turn a sort of off-blonde non-descript colour. I hated it and in desperation I turned to the bottle... The chemical bottle my hairdresser uses for highlights that is. At first ...  Read the complete review

After I coloured my hair, I found that no matter how many lovely LUSH conditioners I used, my hair still felt very dry after being washed. After a lot of debate I settled on Marilyn as the most interesting-sounding of the available Hair Moisturisers. Marilyn definitely does everything it says on the lable; what I like best about it is that it is a very versatile product. My hair has bleached-blond highlights, and I really do find that the lemon-juice and chamomile bring out the shine and even out the colour of the bleached segments, although I did not really find that they lightened them significantly, even after a few weeks of use. The smell is absolutely lovely -  Read the complete review
