Review | Lush R&B

Recently, I've been really getting back into loving Lush in a much bigger way. I've always loved their products, but other high street brands just aren't always hitting the mark for me right now. All of my hair, skin and nails seem to be going though something of a moment, so I've been heading for more natural products to help combat the split ends and armies of blackheads.

R&B is a hair moisturiser, that claims: 'revives the hair and balances the scalp. A leave in moisturiser, full of beautiful butters, oils and herbs.' More specifically, it contains goodness like oat milk, organic avocado butter, fair trade olive oil and organic flower absolute. I was actually recommended it after explaining how dry my hair has been, and decided to buy the full size after working through my sample pot faster than any other sample pot ever. You moisturise this into your hair when it's still damp from washing, and it feels just like your standard cream.

The main problems I've been having with my hair is dryness and split ends, which are going strong even though I've pretty much given up using heat on my hair. Since using this with every wash, I've been noticing that my split ends are dramatically less prominent, which I've been very self conscious of. You don't need to use much, maybe the amount of a 50p coin depending how much hair you have, so I think that this tub is going to last me a fair few months.

I've seen improvements in that my hair doesn't seem to get as dry as fast, as well as fewer split ends appearing after hair cuts. I've also noticed that it helps with the frizziness of my hair, which although significantly more tamed in recent years, can still be very noticeable when I've not been using the right products. I've only been using this just over a month, but I'm hoping that my hair is loving it and benefiting so much from this little pot of yellowness.

The smell of it is very distinct, coming from the orange flower absolute and bay. I'm beyond rubbish at describing smells, so if you're thinking of buying this, or if you're just in Lush, go and have a smell! It's quite tropical and refreshing, and the scent does linger for at least a day before it fades. The packaging is just the 'not virgin' black pots that are standard to Lush, made from recycled materials. If you take back 5 clean full size pots, you get a free face mask! I'm about to take some of mine back so I'll be sure to let you guys know what I pick up.

Overall I really love this! It's helping me no end with my hair woes, so I'd definitely recommend it, and I consider it to be pretty good value for money too. 

Do you think you'll pick this up?
