The lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo makes my hair feel so smooth and very clean! Along with its great smell this product is not tested on animals and has no harsh chemicals. I find it interesting that it is made from Stout beer, and it really did make my hair shine and give it some more weight. I don't find that it makes my hair very knotty, and I will definitely buy it again!

Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout
Condition, body and shine for wavy, fluffy and frizzy hair.
Cynthia Sylvia Stout is made with stout beer, which your great-grandmother probably used to make her hair shine.
Stout contains protein and gives hair weight, smoothness and gloss.
Excellent for hair which goes frizzy in the damp, Cynthia Sylvia Stout smells delicious, like a brandy, stout and lemon cocktail, and even makes curly hair shiny.

Tips: I pair it with Lush American Cream conditioner and it makes my hair feel silky smooth and very shiny! Also I use a small amount on the palm of my hand, lather it in, wash it out and repeat! My hair has never felt better!
I brought this off a friend who didn't like it. First impression in the shower was I loved how easy it flowed out of the flip top lid. It's fairly runny, not water runny, just runny. It's a golden syrup colour.
As I massaged it into my hair I smelt ginger beer! First hit of smell was ok, then it was kinda overpowering in out shower stall we have. Anyway I left it on my hair as I did the rest of my showering. Washed off. It felt really clean right away. I didn't condition and have been using it everyday with out conditioner. The fragrance I could smell all day and night the first wash. Now I don't notice it.
Man does it dry soft and shiny! My hair and I fight a lot at the moment. I actually got my husband to cut my long hair off to sit above my shoulders. How I've lost the hair weight it's gone curly and half curly and doesn't no what it wants to do! So hair ties are my friend at the moment.
Anyway today I used a tiny amount of conditioner on my ends just to see what it did. It worked and I noticed it wasn't a large improvement.
I love that it doesn't cause dandruff and irritation to my scalp and face. Hubby is even using it. He has very thick black curly hair. Ssshhhh I didn't tell you, he hides it under a hat all day bugger him!! I like what it's done to his hair as well. So I can say I'll be repurchasing this again
This is officially my holy grail shampoo. My hair is long and thick and I do dye it. After losing a lot of my hair due to hasimotos disease, I decided to try a shampoo that wasn't from the supermarket. I wanted to try something that was more natural so I went to my LUSH store, spoke to them and ended up getting this.
That was about 6 months ago and (thankfully), my hair has grown back. This shampoo is completely insane. I love it so much.
First of all the scent is DELICIOUS. It's a kind of strange beer scent - kind of musky with something like a hint of lemon? I suck at describing scents but holy cow this makes my hair smell incredible. The scent lasts in my hair for at least a couple of days and I have had more than one compliment about the smell of my hair haha.
This makes my hair really soft and super shiny. It doesn't help the flyaways but I don't mind because I love how healthy, soft and full my hair always looks and feels after using this.
I give this a 12/10! Hahaha. I hope LUSH never stop making it - it is that incredible. If you haven't tried it then what are you waiting for??!! Get your hair drunk now! :P
Tips: If you're unsure about this then buy the smallest bottle. This is what I did when I first purchased it and it lasted me a long, long time.
I love this product. I have fine hair, and found that this doesn't weigh down my hair. It makes it incredibly soft and shiny! it leaves more of a citrusy scent on hair ( I was worried I would smell like beer, I didn't) my hair was easily styled after. May make hair a little frizzy (my hair changes with my cycle and I found my hair generally get frizzier a week before, most shampoos have failed to stop this) but if you have normal hair and don't need any special treatment this stuff is great!
My husband has very dark, fine hair which has quite a tight curl to it. He wears it a little longer than average to give it weight so it doesn't stick out round his head like Jack Nicholson's in 'The Shining". His words, not mine. After a serious illness, his hair all fell out and as it grew back, the curl was even more pronounced. He was trying to be blokey and off-hand about it, but we all have a little vanity and his hair is his. I wanted to find something that would treat the new growth ever so gently and yet not make him feel like he was being babied. Cynthia Sylvia Stout was the very thing. It comes in easy to handle packaging, the nozzle of the bottle delivers a precise amount and you can get every last skerrick out. The smell is simply delicious, a little boozy and yet citrusy. The shampoo distributes easily and lathers nicely, then rinses clean away. Hair is shiny and manageable without the need for extra conditioners or product. A couple of years down the track and my husband's hair has grown back completely. Would you believe it is even less grey? This shampoo is the only one he uses now.
Tips: I tried this for myself - coloured, fine straight hair but lots of it - I found it wasn't conditioning enough on it's own.
Gorgeous beery scent and perfect cleaning for fine hair. Doesn't add weight and removes grease and oil for a squeaky clean. Also leaves hair super shiny. The scent hangs around all day which I love. This Lush shampoo can be used every day, unlike others which can be too harsh. Is a great scent for guys too - manly!
Tips: Follow up with Veganese Conditioner for super softness.
The shampoo worked really well. My hair is soft and feeling healthier then ever. I could not be any happier with this product, it worked from day one of using it. I don't even use conditioner as much as my hair feels fantastic without it. Very happy with this product
Tips: only need a small amount of shampoo each time you wash your hair,
I've always heard how beer is fantastic for giving you shiny locks, but I prefer to drink mine than pour it on my head and risk smelling like a brewery! I was excited to find that Lush had created Cynthia Sylvia Stout which incorporated the magic of beer in a more useable shampoo format, and had debated buying it for awhile before picking it up on sale.
To provide a background into my hair type I had medium-length, fairly thick coloured hair which tends towards an oily scalp and dry, damaged ends. I usually shampoo my hair every 3 days or so.
The packaging of the shampoo is the simplistic plastic bottle with one of those 'press' caps making it easy to use and see exactly how much shampoo you have left. Keeping with Lush's environmental ethics the bottle is made from recycled plastic and isn't tested on animals, gotta love an eco-friendly product!
The first thing I noticed was how different the shampoo smelled from any other beauty product I have tried. It wasn't just a straight beery stout smell, instead it was laced with the heady scent of cognac oil (for smoothness) with a hint of lemongrass. This is a really nice unisex fragrance and I will be buying some from my partner to try!
The formula itself is a lot more runny than standard shampoos, purely liquid with no hint of creaminess in consistency. I found that a good squirt of shampoo was ample to create a nice lather and it was easy to work through my hair. I then conditioned my ends separately as I normally would as even though this shampoo is conditioning I do have very dry ends.
The results? I always have knotty hair when it's wet, no matter what I use, and found it was no worse (maybe even a bit better!) than it normally would be. The scent of the shampoo lingered in my hair which was really subtle and nice. My hair itself felt clean and manageable and the roots which weren't conditioned were still soft and didn't have that squeakiness some shampoos leave. And the shine! Normally I rely on hair oils for shine, but with Cynthia Sylvia Stout my hair had a lovely glossy shine all on it's own.
The price like most lush products is a lot more expensive than I normally would pay for shampoo but I do love the effects and am now making an effort to purchase more eco-friendly products, which a lot of the common supermarket brands are famously not. I will be repurchasing this for both myself and for my partner.
Tips: One wash is enough for soft, glossy hair.
If you have frizzy dull hair, then this shampoo is for you. Don't be fooled by the name, this shampoo will not make you stink of beer (more like lemon), but it will make your hair beautiful and shinny, as well as frizz free.
This shampoo is really thick, and will provide great moisture for dry hair. It also smooths the hair down, meaning that frizzy waves are no longer a problem.
I like to use this shampoo when I know that it's going to be a humid day in order to stop the frizz. I wouldn't recommend it for people who have oily roots, or a lack of volume to their hair as it will makes these problems worse.
Tips: At Lush it is always much better value for money to buy products in their largest sizes. You can also ask for a sample to see if you like it first.
Pretty good stuff. Cleans better than a sulfate-free but leaves my hair nice and shiny. I use this as my "deep clean" after I've used hairspray and siliconey products for a couple days. I bought it for the lemon tea smell but it definitely is nicer to my hair than other Lush shampoos, which I find generally drying. I use it in conjunction with the fantastic Retread conditioner and my hair is really nice and healthy.
