076 - Goth Juice (Lush Review)

Buy it because it's purple and the tag line is "Made from the tears of Robert Smith."

For the record, I hate the Mighty Boosh, but that line makes me laugh.

ANYway, Goth Juice is Lush's medium hold hair gel. They have a firm one and a soft hold one too, which I will never review. Why? Because Goth Juice is so damn perfect! (But please, if you want a different hold strength, do go for one of the others. If you're undecided, try this one and see how it works out for you.)

I have extremely curly hair and was reluctant to go near anything with 'gel' in the product description. It took me several years to build up the courage to try one of Lush's.

Regular hair gel makes my hair sticky and hard. Goth Juice doesn't.
Moose makes my hair crunchy. Goth Juice doesn't.
Spray makes my hair mat together. Goth Juice doesn't.
Serum makes my hair greasy. Goth Juice doesn't.

It is a little pot of perfection.

You wash your hair as you usually do, condition it well (especially if you have dry hair, which you would be conditioning anyway, I think), and rinse. Now, the key is to apply it to wet hair. Not towel dry, not dry dry... wet. Use a little bit (my hair is shoulder length and only requires me to dip two fingers into the pot and use what comes out on my fingers) and work it through your hair, and scrunch it or twist it if you've got curls. Then leave it to dry. It will be perfect, believe me.

And the best part? It's actually GOOD for your hair, unlike almost all styling products out there.

The smell though might not be for everyone. I love it, but I love trees and forests... yes, it smells kinda like musky trees. I think it's the Oakmoss.
