New LUSH Haircare part 2: Roots Hair Treatment + Sea Spray Hair Mist review

            Welcome back to my coverage of new haircare from LUSH Cosmetics! As I mentioned in New LUSH Haircare Part 1 (see here), LUSH is launching eight new products in their haircare lineup. In my last post, I covered new shampoos and conditioners that were inspired by bananas, blooms, and bees. In today's post, I'll be covering new hair treatments that are infused with leaves of mint and water from the sea!

            A healthy scalp is like healthy soil. Hair, like a garden, thrives in a good environment. With this in mind, LUSH Roots Hair Treatment is a revitalizing treatment for both the scalp and hair. It has a mint infusion and mint oils to stimulate the scalp, and olive oil and honey to strengthen hair. The mask is scented with sweet orange and neroli oils to add an uplifting fragrance in addition to the mint overtones. LUSH Roots is targeted to those with fine and thin hair (in which case I am the perfect test subject), though it should be a nice treatment for just about anyone. The creamy gel-like texture should be massaged into the scalp for 15-20 minutes. It takes some effort to work into dry hair at first, but becomes easier as more hair gets coated. The mask imparted a definite cooling and invigorating feeling to my scalp during the entire time. (To be honest, I didn't massage my scalp for the entire recommended time; I let the mask sit on its own and I could still feel it working). The mask readily washes off in water; I like to use a little shampoo to remove any residual oiliness at the roots, since my scalp produces enough on its own. Overall, I really enjoyed the treatment; it felt actively refreshing. I'm so happy that LUSH made a hair mask specifically for fine hair. A good scalp refresher to stimulate hair growth with a light moisturizing effects on the ends is exactly what my fine hair needs.

LUSH Roots Ingredients - Fresh Mint Infusion (Mentha piperita), Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol & Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Honey, Peppermint Oil (Mentha arvensis), Sweet Orange Oil (Citrus sinensis), Spearmint Oil (Mentha spicata), Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradis), Nettle Absolute (URtica urens), Neroli Oil (Citrus Aurantium amara), Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Olea europaea), Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Propylparaben. 

          LUSH Sea Spray is a sea water (really, see the ingredients) and sea salt spray that's meant to add a beachy volume, texture, and shine to hair.  Salt is a natural volumizer and texturizer; it's found in LUSH's popular 'Big' shampoo. While I love the volumizing salt in Big, it can only be used in the shower. LUSH Sea Spray is a great complementary product, since it can be used at any time and targeted to the long ends of my hair. I've used LUSH Sea Spray on both wet and dry hair. If I spray and comb the product through my wet hair, the texturizing effect is more subtle and creates more defined waves and shine. If I spritz and scrunch Sea Spray on dry hair, the texturizing effect is more evident. Interestingly, I don't find that LUSH Sea Spray makes my naturally curly hair any curlier; if anything, it seems a bit more relaxed due the traces of essential oils. Finally, it's worth noting that  grapefruit and neroli oils add a beautiful fragrance to LUSH Sea Spray; the spray can double as a hair perfume!

LUSH Sea Spray Ingredients: Carrageenan Extract (Chondrus crispus), Sea Water, SD Alcohol, Glycerine, Fine Sea Salt (Sodium chloride), PVP, Fragrance, Limonene, Linalool, Neroli Oil (Citrus Aurantium amara), Grapefruit Oil (Citrus paradis), Rosewood Oil (Aniba rosaeodora), Hydroxycitronella, Geraniol, Citral, Farnesol, Benzyl Benzoate, Methylparaben.

           LUSH Roots hair treatment ($19.95 for 8.4 oz.) and LUSH Sea Spray hair mist ($12.95 for 3.3 fl.oz.) will be available in-store on Black Friday! As someone with hair that could use a little volumizing, both of these products are right up my alley. Thanks for reading! Have you ever tried LUSH hair products? Will you be looking for LUSH haircare on Black Friday? What are your favorite hair masks or salt sprays?

Love, Dovey.
