Review: LUSH R&B

I'll admit it shamelessly: I'm a Lushie! LUSH offers the best products that are environmentally conscious, with tons of variety, amazing scents, and overall great results. For anyone new to LUSH or interested, check out their website.

Today I'll be reviewing a hair product from LUSH called R&B.

Don't feel like reading a long-winded review? Scroll to the bottom of the post :)

The product description labels this as a hair treatment good for "frizzy, flyaway, African American, or curly" types. Personally, as someone who has recently decided to embrace my wavy/thick/coarse hair and stop straightening it into oblivion every day, I feel like I have been on a never ending search for the right product. I went through quite a few sprays, gels, creams, and mousses before I tried R&B. I got a sample at LUSH, put some into my hair the other night after  shower, scrunched a bit, and went to sleep. To be honest, I was really only expecting it to condition my hair and make it smell nice. I woke up to shapely, wavy, and not frizzy hair! I was very surprised at how well this worked. And the waves survived a workout, a shower (tied up into a bun on the top of my head), and a full day, which usually would find my hair really flat and just gross.

To apply it, I find that the product is best used in really small (like dime sized) dollops worked through the hair. I ended up using about 2 of these dollops, but my hair is down to the middle of my back. I lightly scrunch, then let air dry. The most important step for me is after this: leave it alone. That's why I find I get the best results from sleeping on the damp hair; if I apply in the morning to wet hair instead, it dries with ever so slightly less body. Either way, it still yields great waves/curls!

After about 20 minutes of air drying

In conclusion: R&B is a great moisturizing product for those with naturally wavy/curly hair looking to add some definition and shape to their style. It is light, smells lovely (like jasmine and spices and citrus all in one magic pot), and works wonders! Minimal frizz, soft yet shaped waves, and ease of use. Apply to wet hair, scrunch, air dry.

Price: $22.95 for 3.5 ounces...a little pricy but seriously a little goes a long way and compared to many salon quality products it actually isn't that expensive!
