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.

Best Shampoo I Have Ever Tried

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!

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!

Not My Favourite Lush Product

I absolutely love Lush. All the products I use in my shower are Lush products which is why I was so upset that this product wasn't that great.

It is very hard to get a good lather making it feel like I haven't shampooed all my hair. Then when it came to brushing my hair there were so many knots I felt like half my hair came out.

I wasn't a fan of the smell since I prefer fruity shampoos.

While my hair did feel softer it definitely was not frizz free so I was quite disappointed as my hair can be annoying with fly-aways

Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout

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,

Great product to smooth your hair

My main worry pre using the product was that my hair would smell of stout, but although the product smells a little stouty your hair doesn't smell at all. The product as I said smells a little stouty, it is brown in colour and more runny than the average shamphoo. I have really thick hair and it made it feel clean, soft and the frizz was smooth.

Tips: The texture makes you think you are using more than you are, so don't over use, a squirt in the hand will give you good lather.

Put the spring back in my hair!

I used this shampoo twice this week instead of my regular shampoo. The shampoo does not lather much so I was unsure as to how much to use. I ended up squeezing out a cent coin size dollop. Once I used it on its own without conditioner afterwards and the second time I used it with conditioner. Both times after washing and leaving my hair to naturally dry I noticed a huge difference to the condition of my hair! My hair before using this shampoo was brittle, fine and limp looking. I was washing my hair daily because it would get really oily. After the first time I used the Lush Cynthia Stout shampoo my hair was full of volume and looking healthier! I also noticed the next day that my hair wasn't back to its oily self, which mean't I could skip having to wash it again! I used the shampoo again the 3rd day, this time with conditioner after. My hair again dried naturally to a full bounce! It was left soft because of the use of conditioner as well as shampoo. Because of the improvement this had made to my hair, I would recommend this product to others with fine hair. I found the smell of the shampoo not quite to my liking. But it was too terrible that it would put me off using it again :)

Tips: I used this with the Herbal Essence Classic Replenishing conditioner (light pink bottle) and maybe it was the combination of both fragrances but my hair smelt lovely!

Good Product - with a few niggles on the way

This product is so far removed from a normal shampoo for me ( I am the typical branded supermaket, not much thought type of shampoo purchaser!) so really excited to trial something such as this, and overall it did not dissapoint. It leaves a really nice smell on your hair all day (less Stout, more Sandlewood or something), which was really lovely and a very nice change. I did stuggle to get a good lather up after I applied it, something which I have always kind of taken for granted, but having long thick hair was a bit of an issue. Once rinsed off it didn't feel as coated as my usual shampoo ( this is probably because it was full of nothing but goodness), and once I was out of the shower, brushing my hair was a bit of a struggle compared to usual due to lots of knots. All that aside (and not having much hope for it at this point), my hair really did look tons better for it. My hair was shiny, and looked full of life - even I couldnt stop playing with it all day! I don't really like the experience of this shampoo, but love the result on my hair - and has really given me food for thought to break out of the habit of same old same old, and get trialling some more natural shampoo's in the futire. Lush here I come!

Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout

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.

Bought this for my husband

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.

Great review! This sounds like the perfect gift for my other half, he too wears his hair slightly longer and is rather fond of it. I love the sound of it for myself but I think I'll have to stick to colour-treating stuff for now.

my go to

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!

Worth every single penny.

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'm glad that I finally found a review in this for someone with thick hair!! EVeryone else was saying it was good for fine hair and I got a bit worried it wouldn't work for me. Going to go buy a small bottle of both the shampoo and conditioner!!

Kirstysays - I can't see sodium laurel sulfate, the closest sounding things are ammonium laurel (the sticker is blocking the next word), and laurel betaine. Hope that helps?

Great review, was just wondering if this has Sodium Lauryl Sulphate in it or not (are the ingredients listed on the back)?
