Lush American Cream Conditioner Review

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.

This product is one of those that gets talked about so much with lush. I've heard about this for years but only recently started using it. I've actually had the bottle sitting in my collection for a few months but I used it recently on a trip away as it is in a small size.

This comes in a standard lush bottle, the same as the shower gels. I have the 100gram bottle so it is quite small. Its enough to get a good few uses out of though, I think the biggest size is 250 grams. This has a sticker with the made on date, use by date and even a little cartoon pic of who made it. I'm sure like the gels, that you would be able to get use out of this even if it was out of date too.

This smells incredible. It's descripted as a strawberry vanilla milkshake but it is so much more than that. It definitely has that sweet vanilla vibe but it has a bit extra herbal with the lavendar and sage. I could quite honestly sit here forever sniffing this one.

The first time I used this, I had it in my hair and I felt dissapointed. You know when you use conditioner and the rich ones instantly make your hair feel better? This didn't do that for me. This is quite thin and it sort of made my hair feel dry. Even after washing it, although it smelled great, it felt just blah. I have very long hair and the ends are dry anyway but I want a conditioner to fix that. Anyway, during the day I noticed that once my hair had air dried, the ends felt really soft. I was so surprised, I'd already made up my mind that I hated it when my hair was wet but I quickly had to change my mind! I notice the fragrance in my hair all day long which is a really nice bonus too.

This does work out quite expensive but I think I'll pick it up again in the future. I'd recommend it if you have dry hair like me too.

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.

my daughter gave me a heap of samples from lush as i asked about solid shampoo bars. this was one of them.

this smells so yum. like strawberries and cream but tartier, it's nice though. i used it after using a lush shampoo and it made my hair feel nice but a bit dry (even though it was wet). once it was dry my hair was heavily perfumed. and soft.

the conditioner is an off white and quite runny. i dont think i'd use this as an every day conditioner, and if i did i would use it after normal conditioning and use less, so it was just a hair perfume.

Maybe I'm being a bit mean by comparing this to another Lush condition - Candy Rain - but I does just seem like a worst version of a similar product. I tried both of these products around the same time and found American Cream to be left wanting.

The smell is pretty good but as others mentioned it's not really the strong strawberry milkshake vibe I was expecting from the label.

While the product is promoted as thick and creamy, I found the product to be very thin and I needed to use quite a lot to feel like I had actually conditioned my hair.

I also didnt notice any increase in the shine of my hair which is meant to be the selling point of this product.

Overall I was pretty disappointed and I really don't understand why this is Lushs best selling conditioner. Good thing Lush has some other better options!
