Lush American Cream Conditioner Review

When I first started using the Lush solid shampoo bars I was finding that my hair needed some TLC so the retailer suggested American Cream because it is thick and creamy. I was originally using the veganese conditioner but it ended up being too light and that is when I made the switch. I bought the 500g bottle for $37.90 which seemed like more economical way to go. Having short hair it should last a long time.

My initial reaction was I love how the bottles are always so green looking in the way that they look like they concentrate on what is on the inside rather than the outside. They don't have fancy pictures or lettering just the name and Lush branding. I like this approach because it means I am not paying extra just for pretty designs. Open the lid and BOOM!! The strawberry milkshake scent that hits my nose can be my friend any day. Usually I am not a fan of intense smells in my hair care products but this one left me wanting to slather myself in it. The real test will be what's inside and if it works.

Now to be $37.90 better be salon goodness because that is what they charge for their high end products. I wash my hair first with a solid shampoo bar then run a generous amount (by choice. You don't need that much) through my hair and give it two minutes to do it's job. I rinse it out and give my hair a feelskie to find out if it has made my hair feel better. In short yes it does but it doesn't give me the super smooth and healthy feeling that I want and need in my life.

Surely using a generous amount of product would set me up for optimum results? But no it doesn't. I continue to use it two, nearly three months down the line and yes my hair feels alright but I want shine and shaking my head in slow motion side to side feelings. this most definitely doesn't do that. It does work just not in the amazing way it should for the price. I think I will stick to salon $40 bottles of gold.

I got a sample of this last year and fell in love with the smell. Then Shana gave me some more of a sample and I knew that I was going to take the plunge and buy a big bottle of this delicious stuff.

I bought a 500g bottle in store, something I rarely get to do. I used it the next day just so I could have the glorious smell in my hair. The smell is nothing like a strawberry milkshake, in my opinion, I can't even pick up on what it smells like... But it perfumes hair so nicely that the scent lasts all day and brings a smile to my face every time.

The conditioner is quite thin so I find I need a bit more than usual for my hair to feel conditioned but I use this once every 1-3 weeks if I remember or feel like a pick me up. It doesn't make my hair any greasier, it just leaves my hair as it found it - soft, clean and smelling even more amazing. I'm definitely going to repurchase this beautiful gem!

My partner and children went to Lush to pick out a christmas present for me. They got me this paired with Daddy-o. I was so excited because I haven't tried lush hair products until now. My hair is very dry from colouring . I struggle with dry ends that clump together and knot and dread easily. I'm searching for a miracle conditioner that can soften my hair.

Like most lush bottles their basic with nothing special . Black and white labelling. The formula of this conditioner is smooth. Not as thick as store bought conditioners. This scent reminds me of strawberrys with a hint of lillies in the background.

I shampooed with Daddy o then put this conditioner into my hair. It absorbs well. But it didn't soften my hair which is strange. I didn't get that conditioned feeling. My hair still felt a bit coarse from shampooing.

After using this my hair felt soft and smelled incredibly good. But it didn't offer any other benefits for my hair. My hair still felt dry . I've been using it for 6 months and it didn't do much for my hair.

Overall , I can't see myself repurchasing this conditioner. Just because it didn't work for me , it might work for others.

My first ever Lush Conditioner was Veganese, which I loved but found it wasn't moisturising enough for my dry, curly hair. I was then recommended American Cream, and it is now my favourite conditioner!

American Cream has this lovely, rich, strawberry scent which lasts in your hair all day! I love the way it is a thicker conditioner so it provides a lot of moisture to your hair. I have found that I can't use it too frequently (more than every three days) as it starts to weigh my hair down.

I love Lush products as they are made from mostly natural ingredients with no harsh chemicals. This is perfect as it doesn't dry out or damage my hair at all! My hair feels fantastic after use, so I could not recommend this conditioner to anyone with curly hair enough!

After hearing so much about this conditioner I finally decided to buy some. I have read both good and bad reviews so wasn't too sure what to expect.

When it arrived it just happened to be hair wash day the following morning so I was excited to try it out. It was quite thick and creamy which I loved. It smelt amazing, it has a sweet, very strong vanilla fragrance. It is devine and lingers in my hair for days. I find myself sniffing my hair all the time. I use a good size amount as I have long hair but it covers well. I let it sit for 5 minutes and once washed out my hair feels lovely and tangle free.

Once dried my hair is beautifully soft and smooth. I have dry, coloured hair and it does wonders for it. I am so happy I tried this and have ordered the biggest bottle which will last for ages as I only wash my hair 2 times a week.

I definitely recommend trying this conditioner. The smell alone will have you hooked.

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.
