Lush American Cream Conditioner Review

When the chance came up to go shopping in the city I had to visit the Lush store I have been addicted for months but everything I brought was from their website so the chance to go to the actual store made me giddy with excitement!

So I was walking around the store oooohing and aaahhing at all the pretties when the lovely shop assistant recommended this as it was their most hydrating conditioner for dry hair. My hair is very dry so I need all the moisture I can get so armed with the 100g bottle off I go to rehydrate my lank locks.

The first thing I notice and about this conditioner is the scent a sweet, creamy strawberry and Vanilla like a big strawberry thick shake, the colour is a creamy grey. It's not overly thick more like the thickness of a standard shampoo.

After shampooing I squeeze a little into my palm and run through my hair, it didn't feel smooth so I added more, then more until I had used almost half the bottle. It still didn't feel soft and moisturised so I gave up. After it dried I tried brushing it and I seriously felt like I had just walked through a gorse bush backwards, it was knotty and unruly. The scent was quite strong for the whole following day until I washed it again to re condition with something else to tame the mane!

I'm disappointed it wasn't more nourishing for my hair because the scent is so good. maybe it's better suited for someone who hasn't dyed their hair or doesn't have overly dry hair.

My goodness does this conditioner smell good!! I was on the look out for a cruelty free conditioner that made my hair soft and shiny, but wasn't too pricey. American cream ticked all the boxes. I've been using it for about three weeks now and wash my hair twice a week. This conditioner leaves my hair smelling beautiful!! Seeing as there is quite a space between washes this conditioner is perfect for keeping my hair smelling heavenly. My hair is super soft and shiny and a lot more manageable!! Just one thing I will point out to new users, is that your hair will drink this up in the shower!!! It's not like a regular conditioner that instantly coats your hair and de-tangles it, but once you have rinsed and dried my hair has never felt better!!

Lush American Cream *should* be my favourite conditioner, and I've gone through a few bottles of it trying to convince my hair it loves it. The texture, scent, and concept all appeal so much!

American Cream comes in the standard Lush bottles, with the same attention to detail that I love from the company, including expiry dates, notations on who made this product and when, and ingredient lists in the characteristic graffiti print.

The scent is gorgeous - creamy milkshake with a hint of the berry, a bunch of vanilla, and something that stops it being too sweet (not sure what, but I like it!). I love the creamy, milkshakey texture.

Unfortunately, this beautiful conditioner isn't strong enough for my dyed, heat styled hair. It just can't inject enough moisture into my stressed out strands. I used to get more from it, but now it's just not up to the task. I would recommend this to girls with more natural hair, or shorter hair though, as I do feel like it's delectable and gorgeous...just doesn't work for me (sadface!)

This is such a sweet and gentle conditioner! I absolutely love it! For 3 days i could smell a hint of bubblegum which is amazing in my hair that never wants to pick up scent. This made my hair soft and silky faster than any other generic conditioner i have used.

I have worked for Lush before, and this product was one I always wanted to try. Before I left working there I bought a bottle after using a sample I received. I thought the sample was good, although thought that it didn't go very far. After buying a bigger bottle, I've realised that that is just the nature of this product and that you do need a lot in order for it to rehydrate the hair. Otherwise a fantastic product.

As a loyal user of Lush shampoo for over a year now I finally took the plunge and purchased a coinciding conditioner. Given the glowing review of this by my friend and fellow BR member Shazatron, I purchased this.

Like my Lush shampoo (Cynthia Sylvia Stout), this comes in a large plastic bottle with the atypical Lush label. I like that you can see precisely how much product is left in it so you aren't left guessing as to when to repurchase. I got the largest size of this as my hair is super long. Although this was quite expensive I felt that if I fell in love with it the price would be worth it.

As promised by Shazatron, this smells INCREDIBLE! Although it is said online that this smells like a strawberry milkshake, I think it just smells delicious. I can't put my finger on the scents - aside from the fact that this is delicious (helpful, I know :P).

This comes out as a thick white cream. Once put into the hair it is easy to disperse. I do notice that I need quite a bit of it, around half a handful, to get into my hair. As I mentioned above though, my hair is really long and drinks this in so I assume that is why.

This makes my hair smell absolutely incredible for 2 days (I wash my hair every 2/3 days). Combined with the shampoo, it leaves my hair super soft and shiny. I love this so much and will definitely repurchase it when my current bottle runs out. I really can't imagine using another conditioner while this is still available.

I received a small 100g bottle of this in a gift box I purchased during Lush's amazing Boxing Day sale. I have short hair, so despite its small size, this bottle lasted me ages.

It is labelled as a thick, heavy conditioner but actually, compared to most supermarket conditioners, it's thin and runny. I found myself applying more than I normally would. It rinses out easily but it seems to leave a waxy coating on my hair. My hairdresser commented that my hair is different since I've used Lush shampoo and conditioners. Neither good nor bad, just different from how hair would normally feel.

The best thing about this conditioner is the smell. More vanilla than strawberry but with a sweetness that you just want to keep on smelling. I probably would purchase this again as although I've used better conditioners on my coloured hair, this smells great and lasted me a long time.

It's very rare that I come across a Lush product which I don't completely adore. Sadly, the American Cream Conditioner is one of them.

My hair is very fine, curly, prone to tight tangles, is not colour treated but is dry at the ends and oily at the scalp. I was recommended American Cream because it is very nourishing for dry hair, and is one of Lush's thicker conditioners so is supposed to be good for untangling hair. Unfortunately, I found the consistency just too thin to properly nourish and detangle my curls. It just felt watery on my hair, and like it actually wasn't doing anything to really nourish and smooth the hair strands. My hair was very difficult to detangle, even after using copious amounts of this, and the next day after using my hair appeared quite dry and frizzy, which never happens using other brands like OGX, or even cheaper brands like Herbal Essences.

However, I think for something with hair that is more easily manageable and straight this could be a good product. The scent is lovely, although not one of my all-time Lush favourites, and is has lots of great ingredients in it to nourish your hair. Just not great for me.

I had to have this, after all it is a best seller by one of the most popular brands. When it comes to hair care I don't use as many products or brands so I figured I could splurge on something to make my long, dark tresses even more beautiful. My hair type is long and fine, the ends are naturally dry because of the length. Lush products usually smell amazing and with one sniff I knew this was coming home with me. My hair was greasy since I only wash it every four or five days, I figured a light conditioner would be fine. I applied a good handful of this to my lengths and it seemed disappear in my hair, it didn't feel like much conditioner but I chocked it down to that my usual Ethique Wonderbar is a very concentrated product so maybe that's why this didn't feel like much. My hair is soft but not as smooth or soft as my usual Ethique conditioner. I left it in my hair for at least five minutes to soak in and rinsed it out. My hair isn't any more shiny or easier to detangle but it is fragranced with that yummy creamy vanilla floral scent. I am not really impressed with this except for how nice my hair smells after using this. I wash my hair at night and my hair smelt amazing while it was wet, as it dried the scent faded but lingered overnight and early the next morning but by afternoon the scent was completely gone. I wish it would've lasted longer because the lovely vanilla floral fragrance was the redeeming quality of this conditioner so that meant that if I wanted the scent to stay I would have to wash my hair everyday which isn't good for it. It does have some really yummy natural ingredients in it like honey water, fresh oranges, fresh strawberries, vanilla absolute, clary oil and lavender essential oils, but interestingly it has sodium lauryl sulfate. I don't know how much conditioners have sls but it's more of a shampoo ingredient and it dries out my hair. So other than the scent I'm not really fond of this conditioner and won't be getting this again. I think it would be nice if Lush would put this vanilla floral scent in a massage bar, body cream or butter and perhaps a hand cream or perfume since it really yummy.
