Review: Lush- Veganese

As I mentioned previously in my review for Lush's Soak and Float, I tend to use their Veganese as my conditioner. The citrus scent helps to cut the scent of smoke from Soak and Float and also helps to make my hair soft and shiny. As I've already mentioned it in a previous blog post, I thought it would be a good idea to give it a review.

This is Veganese. I do not have a picture of it at the moment of the product brand new, since I've been using it for a few months, so this image is taken from Lush's site but I'll edit this post in a few months once I get a new bottle. What I like about Lush's products is that a little goes a long way so you really get your money's worth out of their product.

Veganese, like its name suggests, is a vegan conditioner which replaces lanolin with "agar seaweed gel as a natural hair softener instead of lanolin, and blend in generous helpings of lemon oil to create the perfect vegan conditioner to leave you with tons of gloss and shine." The conditioner also contains rosemary and lavender. I was a little hesitant to try it at first since Lush states that the conditioner is for "fine, limp hair" and my hair is pretty thick. Nevertheless, I gave it a go and have been using it since.

Veganese is a very lemony smelling conditioner, as it contains both lemon oil and fresh lemon juice. Those who don't like the scent compare it to Lemon Pledge. I compare it to Lemonhead candies; a sweet lemony scent. There's a small hint of lavender but, really, the main thing you're going to smell here is a fresh, sweet, citrusy scent.

Again, like a lot of Lush's other products, a little goes a long way. It's a little on the runny side and not as thick as other conditioners so I tend to shake the bottle up before I use it.  I'll use a small amount, run it through my hair, leave it in for a few minutes and rinse. My thick hair tends to tangle easy and Veganese takes the tangles out without leaving that greasy, heavy, conditioner residue. It felt fresh and clean afterwards and made my hair pretty soft and shiny. I really love it a lot and use it often, about every other wash.

You can buy Veganese online here or at Lush's store.
