Nope.

Unfortunately, this was my first Lush solid shampoo experience, and it did not go well. I have heard such great things about their solid shampoos, and was SO excited to try this. After consulting with the sales associate at my local Lush store, we had come to the conclusion that I needed to get this one - Soak and Float. Despite its WEIRD scent (smells like a campfire...which I don't necessaril...read morey mind...), the supposed benefits were very appealing which was essentially nipping dandruff in the bud. I have HORRENDOUS dandruff, and was like "YESSSS, FINALLY something that is natural and convenient and exciting and new and not Head and Shoulders which is what my parents use, yay!!" OH EM GEE. The first day I used it, I noticed an exponential increase in dandruff already...and it seemed to just get worse from there. I used it for about a month about 3-4 times a week, and it got BAD. Way worse than any dandruff I had before. I thought maybe it would take some time to work its magic, but no. I gave it 4 weeks of my life and hair to no avail. I switched back to my beloved Aveeno dandruff shampoo (which is getting really hard to find...), and was relieved by week 1. Review to come on that later. The 3 stars I did give this product are for the following: hair cleanliness, convenience of product, and sheer novelty and fact of it being a solid shampoo (which I loved). Overall, a pretty big disappointment. WOMP WOMP.

soak and float

I tried this bar because I had a pretty itchy scalp. It seemed to help a little but the smell is very pungent! I probably stopped using it before I really could see results but THE SMELL IS PRETTY BAD!

Review subject

Didn't help much with dandruff like it said it was supposed to but I liked it as a shampoo. The smell isn't great but using a conditioner can get rid of it the bad smell.

If you can get past the smell...

This is the greatest shampoo I've ever used. It really gets my hair clean and feels wonderful! The smell is the only part of this product that is not wonderful, but as others have pointed out, you can just use a good smelling conditioner!

Love it, but the smell is not so great.

I have fallen in love with Lush due to this shampoo bar. I love the way it leaves my hair, but the smell is overpowering.

an odd smell, but worth it

When the product descriptions say that it smells like a campfire, they're not lying, It smell STRONGLY like a campfire. I got my first bar in the mail and it stunk up our whole mail room, the car, my doorm room, my boyfriend's apartment, and finally only his bathroom. The good news is, the longer you use it, the more that smell fades. It doesn't linger too bad in your hair either, especially n...read moreot after it's dry. Also if you use a strongly scented conditioner, it does an almost perfect job of covering it up. As for how the product works, I personally think the smell is worth it. I suffer from a HORRIBLY flaky scalp, that just gets worse when I'm stressed. This cleared everything up in three uses and I noticed a difference after the first use! minus one star for making everything smell like a campfire though, lol
