- What's up?
We're gonna talk about hair treatments today.
Hair treatments are a really great way to add
a boost of moisture to the hair to help repair it.
It's a really great way also to get into Lush haircare
if you've never tried it before.
So, I'm gonna talk a little bit about
some of the different kinds that we have,
how to use them and then you can tell
me which ones you're really curious about
and which ones you've tried and stuff down below.
So first let's talk about why
you would use a hair treatment.
A hair treatment is a great thing
to use for lots of different reasons.
Let's start with the most obvious,
your hair needs help.
If you have wrecked it from dying it
or over styling it or using too much heat,
then especially the bottoms are gonna be experiencing
a lot of breakage and a lot of moisture loss,
so a hair treatment can really help out with that,
it can help to add extra moisture to the hair,
it can help to strengthen it,
we have a lot of olive oil in them,
and it can really help just revitalize that hair.
Another reason is because you feel like it.
So, at Lush we always say listen to your skin
and that goes for your hair, as well.
So, if you're dong a Fresh Face Mask or a foot treatment,
you might as well do a hair mask, too,
'cause you're just gonna hop in the shower
and rinse it all off anyway, right?
So, if you're having a night in
and you just wanna do something a little extra special
for yourself, a hair treatment is a really great way
to give your hair a little bit of extra love.
It's also a really great thing to do
if you're just getting into Lush hair care.
So, at Lush, in our conditioners, we don't use silicon.
So, silicon is,
it feels good (sighing) on the hair,
but it's actually not repairing or strengthening
the hair itself, it's really just coating it.
So, I like to think of our conditioners
as really strengthening the hair from the inside
and really working on the hair that you have.
So, when you are starting with a new Lush conditioner,
using a hair treatment for a couple of weeks
is a really great way to kind of bridge that gap
between stopping a life of silicone use
in your hair products and moving over
to a more natural way of conditioning your hair.
So a hair treatment is a really great first big step
along that path to health for your hair
and kind of getting back to your roots, so to speak.
So we have a couple of different kinds of hair treatments
at Lush, I'll start with the classics.
This one is H'suan Wen Hua, some people say shwan when wah,
and that is okay, but you'll hear all manner
of pronunciations, I say swan like the bird,
when wah, okay?
Swan when wah, that's how I say it.
H'suan Wen Hua is (sighing) really a classic hair treatment
in that (sniffing) it's almost like a hair dressing.
So (sniffing) when you smell it,
you're smelling some bay leaf and some cinnamon,
so those two things are really going to stimulate the hair
and the cells so it's gonna be bringing oxygen rich blood
to the cells to nourish, to encourage healthy hair growth.
This one also has olive oil
and that's great for tensile strength.
Tensile strength is how hard you can pull
on something before it snaps.
And it can actually increase that tensile strength
in your hair threefold over just plain, dry hair.
So, olive oil is really great to help strengthen the hair.
This one also has some fresh banana,
some fresh avocado, so you can imagine
what that does, just giving like yummy moisture
to the hair and then some balsamic vinegar
and you can actually smell
a little bit of that in here, too.
Balsamic vinegar is great for making the hair shiny.
So when you're thinking about the combination
of those things, we're thinking about stimulation,
we're thinking about hydration,
and we're thinking about strength.
So, there's a lot of really great things going on
in H'suan Wen Hua.
To use a hair treatment, any hair treatment
that we have, you just put it into dry hair,
leave it in for 20, 30 minutes,
and then you just wash it out.
So, why do you put it into dry hair?
That's a really good question.
When your hair is wet, it's already soaked up
a lot of water and it can't really soak
up more product, like the hair treatment,
so you want the hair to soak up as much
of it as it can to really do the best work
and so you wanna put it on dry hair where
your hair's really thirsty and soak it all up
and then leave that to do
the good for that 20 or 30 minutes.
I usually like to put a little wrap on my head,
sometimes I'll even just put a plastic grocery bag
or a little bit of plastic wrap or something like that
or like a reusable shower cap would be great.
And that'll kind of keep a little bit
of your head's heat inside there, too,
and will kind of give it like a little bit of extra warmth.
But I like to do that and maybe do
that while you're taking a bath or watching a T.V. show
and then you can shower it out afterwards.
So those are our traditional potted hair treatments,
but we also have a really cool idea
which is hair treatments on a stick.
So, the inspiration from this came
from a Belgium coffee shop.
Mark Constantine went into this coffee shop
and they had hot chocolate on a stick,
so, just like you can imagine, this is like a block
of chocolate they put into the mug
and then stirred it up and had this lovely hot chocolate.
So, what a great idea for a product!
And so this is where hot oil treatments were born.
So what you do with it, there's instructions right on here,
you just pour a little bit of boiling water into a cup,
you stir it around until it's melted
and it's a nice creamy consistency just like
a potted hair treatment and then just let
it cool just enough, and you know, cool to the touch,
so you're not sticking your hands in a really hot product.
Put it in, leave it in, just like we talked about,
for 20, 30 minutes and then you rinse it out.
So, I made one, I Martha Stewarted this for you.
This is our Hair Doctor which has some seaweed in there
and mint, really good for kind of troublesome scalps
and then this one is our New hair treatment.
So, it's called New, just like the shampoo bar,
if you're familiar with that.
It's got a lot of cinnamon and clove in there,
it's really stimulating.
So this one you can see is a different color,
but this is kinda what you're looking for.
So after about, you know, 10 minutes or so,
it's gonna be this nice creamy consistency
and you just kinda keep stirring it up every now and then,
make yourself a tea and have your tea while
you're waiting for it to melt down
and just kinda keep on stirring it up.
So, when it's cool enough that you can put
your hands into it and get it in, go for it.
I usually like to, 'cause I have a lot of hair,
so what I usually do is I'll kinda start
at the crown of my head first,
and get that going and then I'll kinda put it in a bun
and then I'll kinda do like another layer,
get that going and then kinda like add to the bun,
and add to the bun until it's all taken up
and that's just like a neat way to do it.
But you can do it however you like, of course.
So, this is what you're looking for,
and then it just works just like a potted treatment.
And speaking of potted treatments,
you can put this into a jar or maybe an empty black pot
that you've got and use it for up to a month,
depending on the thickness of your hair
and the length of your hair,
you might use up to half of this.
I've got pretty long, pretty thick hair
and I'll probably use about half of this,
maybe even a little bit more, to do a hair treatment.
If your hair is thinner or shorter,
you'll be using less of it so you can definitely
hang onto this for a little while.
It is a self-preserving product,
which means there are no synthetic preservatives in here.
So now that we've added the water,
we do just wanna be mindful of it.
So, like I said, it would be good for about a month,
but after that, it's freshness is kind of passed you by,
so you wanna get a new fresh one.
So, depending on what you need,
we've got lots of different options for you to try.
So, and that may even change, you know, from week to week,
you might want to try something different.
So if you want something really light
and fresh and stimulating,
we have something like our New hot oil treatment,
the one I just showed you, we also have Roots,
which gives this really zingy, fresh feeling
on the scalp, it really tingles.
You could also try something nice and light,
like Marilyn, we have that in a hot oil treatment
and in the potted treatment,
which is where it originally came from,
so you can kinda like take your pick based on the format.
That's a really nice one for finer hair
or lighter hair that'll just give you
that really simple, gentle hydration,
it's not quite as rich as some of the other ones,
it's got some linseed in there and that'll just help
to make the hair really nice and silky.
We also have a couple for more troubled scalps,
so Hair Doctor here is got some seaweed,
some peppermint in there and this is really gonna be good
for just scalps that need a little bit of extra love
and are maybe feeling a little itchy
or just needing a little bit of a revitalization.
So Hair Doctor would be a really good one for them.
Send them to the doctor!
So, you're probably doing some Fresh Face masks already,
next time you do one, throw a hair mask on, too,
and see how it works.
I guarantee you're gonna come out
the other side feeling really sexy
with some lovely bedroom hair
and feeling really good about what you've just done.
So, come into the shop and call us or look online,
we can help you find the right one.
I wanna know what you've tried,
what you think about them,
so comment down below and then we're gonna keep
on doing some more of these,
so write down what you wanna hear about next time
and we'll be sure to talk about it.
