Happy Happy Joy Joy Conditioning Hair Perfume

Unfortunately, Lush don't offer very many vegan conditioners, so when a new product comes out, I'm all over it like a rash. Although I swear by my Veganese, I'm always worried that my hair will one day become immune to it's powerful ways and the health of my hair will diverse somewhat. 

So when I noticed a bottle of conditioning hair perfume called Happy Happy Joy Joy, which stated that it was vegan friendly, I was super-excited to try it out. 

If there was ever a feast for the hair, Happy Happy Joy Joy is that. Neroli, rose, grapefruit, rosewood, orange flower absolute and benzoin mean this is the only thing you’ll need to wear after using it on your locks. Thinking of smothering your body in your favourite lotion? Considering a squirt of your favourite perfume? Forget it. Once you've indulged in HHJJ, you'll smell like a million dollars. 

I've been using this for the past couple of weeks, and although it's marketed as a conditioner, I do feel it excels more as a hair perfume. It makes your hair smell like fresh flowers; a mixture of roses and blossoms. It's so gorgeous. 

However, Lush claim it conditions your hair with almond milk, jojoba oil, rose and orange flower, when it did very little to improve my hair, and in fact, I felt it made it worse. Having used it only a handful of times, I found that after each time, my hair was very unmanageable, dry and damaged. It also felt very thin and dry, which is not a good thing from someone who has naturally thin hair anyway. 

Once dry, my hair did feel a little better, although it was very susceptible to getting tangled, and I found myself brushing it more than usual. I also had to wash my hair almost every day, because by the end of each day (having washed it at 6am in the morning), my hair would begin to feel greasy.

I don't think I'll buy it again anytime soon just because of the price, and I hope that Lush rework their recipe as it is one of their best smelling products. If they were to release this as a perfume, I would definitely be all over that.
