Squeaky clean hair with Lush Cosmetics’ Squeaky Green shampoo bar? Well done for the funny name, but… does this naked shampoo make your hair really that squeaky clean and fresh?
This brand knows how to throw some pun-names but I’m not talking about fun stuff. Read on find out if Lush Cosmentics Squeaky Green does what its name says.
Lush Cosmetics Squeaky Green Shampoo Bar: product & formula
Squeaky green is a shampoo bar created by Lush for oily hair and stressed-out scalps. According to Lush Cosmetics’ super scented plans, this green pal acts in three ways at a time: it purifies the scalp, even if there’s dandruff, thanks to tea tree oil, rosemary, nettle and peppermint; it cleanses hair, and calms irritation thanks to rose, (blue) chamomile essential oil and vanilla super powers.
Squeaky Green has the typical “cut grass” scent and contains tiny bits of herbs and rosemary, but these pieces aren’t annoying or disgusting, as the dried jasmine flowers found inside Godiva shampoo bar.
The truth? Squeaky Green has a wonderfully refreshing fragrance that’s pleasant and long-lasting… but there’s always a but.
It doesn’t purify my hair from excess sebum, at least not at the first wash as promised. It definitely dries out my hair, so much that just a disproportionate amount of conditioner and an intensive mask can help me, until I decided to treat my hair. That should be another story for another post.
PROS:
- it’s travel-friendly
- eco-friendly
- vegan and cruelty-free
- it lasts longer than a regular shampoo
- it has a fresh scent.
CONS:
- it doesn’t cleanse from excess sebum
- it dries hair from roots to the ends.
Squeaky Green costs £10.00 and can be found online and at your local Lush shop.
Loads of good notes, but it really doesn’t work for me. I still love its fresh scent, but I can’t recommend it. If you have oily hair and your scalp needs extra attention, I suggest Jumping Juniper.
