Getting Lush

I've never been big into hair care. Somehow, I always have healthy hair, and it normally looks alright (whether it's styled well... that's not my department...) One of my best friends is super into hair care. She dyes her hair, and she's very conscious of her care of it, so it doesn't get too damaged. So I learn a lot from her.

The other day, we were at Crossiron Mills Mall in Airdrie, and we walked past this store called "Lush". Love that word. But it looked like one of those hair care and skin care places, and I just wasn't feeling it. But she talked me into it, and we went in.

For my birthday, she got me a package of hair care products from Lush. Lush is a Canadian company that makes all their products from natural ingredients, handmade in Canada. The products she bought me were both solids. One was a disc of shampoo soap (pictured below). The other was a block of humectant (pictured right) that you shave and then mix with hot water, and it turns into a conditioning applicant.

Let me tell you, after one use of this stuff... I can't even tell you. My hair is a completely different animal today. I'm excited to see what it's like the more I use it.

But if you get a chance, I would definitely check this place out. I've never seen anything like it before, but the products are supposed to be non intrusive to the environment, which is a big problem with commercial hair care products. They have ingredients that really shouldn't be going into the water supply. And they have floor wax and things in them. But these natural products are all biodegradable, and there's no silicone in them. It's incredible. I can't recommend these products highly enough.

Check them out!!
