In the jungle, the mighty jungle, my hair looks such such a fright... ohhhweee......weeeee...
Okay, all humor aside; I have wild, wild, crazy hair if it is not
taken care of properly. My hair requires creams, lotions, deep
conditioners, frizz sprays, and all types of hair supplies to stay
straight. In all reality though, I hate straightening, it just takes so
much time, so most of the time I will just flip it up into a wild bun.
However when summer months arrive, my hair dried out and feels hay
like easily if I do not condition it enough. When I cam across Lush's
Jungle Hair Conditioner Bar, I was surprised. I had never used a
conditioner bar before, and the whole concept was interesting.
According to Lush all I had to do was wet my hair and slide this bar
down the length of my hair a few times. Seeing how I have thick long
fur, I knew that a few times meant like 20 times for mop heads like me.
The conditioner comes in a 3.5 ounce almost cylinder shaped cut bar
however it is more rectangular/squarish shaped than it is a roll in the
photo, in a moss colored green; the reason I ordered it was because it
was from Lush for one, and secondly it promised me tame to my jungle,
while providing soft and shiny hair. Oh lordie, oh lordie!!!! It's just
what I've always wanted.. dooo deee, dahhh.... Just what I've always
wanted.
When the bar arrived in the mail, I was surprised at it's size. It was
a lot larger than I had imagined it would be, so I was happy knowing I
could cut this one up into smaller pieces while storing the rest away.
So that's what I did. I sliced and diced my bar. Ching, ching, ching!
I loved the scent, could detect why they would call it jungle
conditioner, because it had a tropical fruit like scent, which reminded
me of bananas and mango. Yep, the scent was a winner, but how did it
work was the real question.
After shampooing I began rubbing Jungle down my hair, over and over
again. Nothing really happened at first ad it took a few swiped for the
hard bard to actually soften up a tad and begin sticking to my fur bots.
Yeah, I said fur bots, what of it?
Anyhow, after a few swipes, I could feel the goo starting to stick,
however as I applied more and more, I could not feel it really doing
anything, by now I should have felt some moisturization in my hair, my
hair should of been turning silky and it should of been easy to run my
fingers through.
So I used more, rubbidy, dubbitty doo...
Still the same though, and I had used a hell of a lot. I rinsed the
goo out of my hair, and it felt knotty, messy, and un-washed!
Still I figured maybe the real treat would come after blow drying. Boy
what a waste of time that turned out to be. My hair was dull looking,
knotty, and looked like crap. I hate Jungle conditioner.
I figured though, that maybe I needed to use to whole damn bar, seeing
how I have some thick hair man. The next shot I tried using the whole
bar, but failed. My arm got tired. I managed to use quite a bit though,
and I did manage to work up a bit of a moisturizing lather. However, the
results were the same, messy, knotty, ugly, ugly, ugly!!!
I hate Jungle conditioner, I feel that my hair now resembles a jungle
after using it. It's terrible. The scent is pleasant, but it really is
an awful alternative to real conditioner. Why I thought a bar would work
magic is beyond me, sometimes we make stupid choices; we all do, and
Jungle Conditioner Bar was my stupid choice.
