• Gives weight and shine
• Preservative free!

This thick, rich marvel is so unlike any other shampoo that your hair will think it's discovered a parallel universe: one where curls soften, relax and shine on command. Amazingly enough, we make it all happen without preservatives. (Helen, LUSH inventor extraordinaire, says she's rather pleased with that fact.) Coconut, cocoa and avocado butters, along with jojoba oil, control curls, weigh hair down and smooth hair follicles. Shredded coconut aids application and free-range eggs take the place of synthetic polymers, while lemons and papaya cleanse and add shine. Apply lovingly, then rinse out thoroughly (this might take a little extra effort due to all the exquisite natural ingredients).

Summary: Big Risk Yields Big Reward!
Comment: I really went out on a limb for this stuff - it sells for $19.95 in stores. I could buy about 4 generic-brand shampoos for that price.

However - this stuff will last forever. I've gone through 4 washes already, and I'm still working on getting the excess off the jar's lid. I haven't even delved into to actual product IN the jar yet.

After just 4 washes, the difference is incredible. I have SO MUCH curly hair. It's big, uncontrollable, and hits the middle of my back. This shampoo makes my hair soft, textured, moisturized, and visibly most austere. BEWARE: this stuff is only for severe cases. I'm talking about BIG, curly hair. Otherwise, the stuff may be too powerful and may render you greasy. I don't know what exactly I was expecting out of this shampoo, because I had never even heard of the Lush brand before, but Curly Wurly has affected my hair in ways I did not think possible just by shampooing.

Buy it! You'll see what I mean.

Summary: Heaven for curls (and those who love coconut)!
Comment: I have long, thick and wavy/curly hair that has been plagued with uncontrollable frizzies regardless of how many fancy salon products I have used. Enter LUSH and all of their natural goodness -- salvation for my hair! I have to say that my tresses are rockin' now that I've embraced the natural curls with this stuff, it's made a huge difference!

The texture is far different from any other shampoo I've tried -- I would suggest taking a small clump and rubbing it between your palms to emulsify before lathering up. The coconut smell is rather intense (which I love!) as there are actual pieces of shredded coconut throughout the mix.

I got the Coolaulin conditioner with it because that is what LUSH recommends for curly hair. I'm ambivalent on the conditioner -- it is much lighter than other conditioners I've used, but it seems to absorb easily and work well with the Curly Wurly. I just have to use a lot to cover my thick hair. I may try American Dream next and see which I prefer.

I'd give this shampoo 6 stars out of 5 if I could, and I will always use this stuff now. It may be pricey, but because of the texture it does last a long time. I can't recommend it highly enough!
