Body-building shampoo for BIG hair and loads of shine

Over half the base of Big shampoo is made with sea salt, giving massive volume to hair in need of a boost. Sea salt is also full of minerals and de-greases hair, removing dead skin cells and dirt without stripping natural oils for a fresh, squeaky clean feeling. We balance the sea salt with seaweed infusion, extra virgin coconut oil and avocado butter for soft, nourished locks. Finally, fresh citrus juices are squeezed in for incredible shine. It's no wonder this one is a best-seller!

Features

  • Size matters: Suitable for all hair types, but especially for limp locks. Once you go BIG you never go back.
  • Shine on: Fresh lime juice delivers instant shine and leaves your hair feeling extra clean.
  • One of your five a day: Full of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, Tooth Wracked Seaweed strengthens damaged hair.

"I really like this shampoo! I use it with Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo so that it doesn't dry out my hair, and together they lather up incredibly well and I don't have to use much product. I would definitely recommend this shampoo!"

I was really interested to try this shampoo, being a first time Lushie, and was intrigued by the salt scrub texture. It was a little weird the first time I used it, getting a handfull of something I would typically use to scrub my skin, but just a little hand-rubbing and it's lathered up like crazy! A little really does go a long way with this shampoo. And I love the smell! Quite refreshing. It really does give my hair more volume and body, esp. when paired with a lighter conditioner, like Veganese. I wouldn't use it every time I showered because it does seem to be a little drying, no need to "repeat", a simple "lather, rinse" is quite enough. Needless to say, I am very impressed with my first Lush buy and will def. be going back for more!!

When I first started using "Big", I loved it! It smelled nice and left my hair feeling super soft and clean. Unfortunately, it didn't really add any volume, but I overlooked that because my hair felt and smelled and looked good! However, over time, I noticed that my scalp was getting INCREDIBLY DRY!!! :( To the point where my head even started hurting. I would only use it maybe twice a week, so I wan't too sure if "Big" was the cause, but I stopped using it and it went away, completely! I guess the salt was just too harsh for my head...I'm a "Big" fan of lush (lol) but I'm not a fan of this product.

Comments about Big Shampoo:

This is my all time favourite shampoo, I've been using it for years and always get great comments about my hair. It makes my hair shiny, full, bouncy, and incredibly soft. The only reason I don't give this a full 5 stars is because it contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate (which originates from natural ingredients however the processing it goes through turns it into a chemical which can be toxic!) I love this shampoo so I put up with it, but there are other alternatives that could be used in place of it!

      Comments about Big Shampoo:

      I uses this product ever other day (I wash my hair in general every other day) the scent it my opinion is phanomanal! I also love to use this when I am going somewhere special due to the fact that it adds so much shine and volume! It also makes my hair really soft and fluffy! I could not say better thing ps about this product! If you are not sure about buying this you can get a sample but of you are in need of a shampoo at least try it out! You won't regret it! (it's for all ages I am a kid and I use it and so does my mom) and for me it's not harsh at all! I just ran out and I am going to buy more! And for this shampoo a little goes a long way! For short hair you need very little (like me) or long hair not too much at all. I just love it!

        Comments about Big Shampoo:

        I love this shampoo! I used to use Lush's solid shampoos and thought they were kind of "meh" and didn't think Lush really had great shampoos... until I tried this shampoo! I don't know if it adds volume like it claims it does... but it does leave your hair feeling oh-so-clean and it smells amazing. I read some of the other reviews saying it was too harsh / drying for some people... I can definitely see that but I have a pretty oily scalp (thanks, genetics) so it's fine for me to use everyday and it doesn't feel dry. I'd definitely recommend this to others who are also blessed with an oily scalp like me :) I use this with the Big solid conditioner as well.

          I love this product! It made my hair look healthy and shiny and full of body! It does what it says. I actually use this product without any conditioner and I find my hair is nice and soft. My only issue is I find if I do not blow dry the roots of my hair it can be a bit greasy for some reason. But I usually blow dry the top of my head anyways or else my hair sticks up in crazy ways. This product made my hair more wavy as well, so if you are looking for a beachy look, this product is right for you!

          Comments about Big Shampoo:

          As a new Lushie, I was itching to try a shampoo but wasn't sure which one. I decided to go with Big because it seemed the best for my hair type. Turns out I was right - I've only used Big twice since I bought it and it's left my hair shiny, voluminous and fabulous smelling. I don't have a Lush conditioner to use with it, but I'm sure it would help a little, as this shampoo does leave my hair in tangles. That seems to be its only flaw so far though. I probably wouldn't use this everyday, as I can only assume the salt would leave your scalp and hair pretty dry. But overall I highly recommend buying Big if you have flat, oily hair.

          This is the first Lush product I've ever bought and boy was it a good choice! The salty, super citrusy smell really sold me, and also how simple and natural it sounded. First use was kind of confusing, but after plopping a scoop on my hair and rubbing it in for a while, I got a good lather worked up (the grains of salt really get in the way of working it in). After using this product every other day, it left my hair feeling incredibly clean and bouncy. Would buy again!

            Product requires lots of water to create a lather. I stand under the shower with the water flowing directly on my hair to create a great lather. You basically need to melt the salt in order to create a lather. Makes my hair smell great.

              I was first drawn to this product because of the sea salt and some reviews. I went and picked up a free sample from a near by Lush Store.

              It lathered well and I did like how it seemed to scrub but I was not pleased at all with the smell of this shampoo. As I put it in I started to get this nostril burning sensation and the smell got worse. I immediatly washed it out and shampooed my hair twice with the shampoo I am currently using.

              Though it did leave my hair looking shinier after the wash the smell still stayed through out the day and now I am nervouse of other people smelling my hair.

              Overall, pretty good! :D
              The salt makes it scrubby which feels good, and lathers nicely. Not sure what it smells like, people say coconut but I don't really smell that.

              Dries out hair a bit. Probably should try out a conditioner with it. I also can't tell if it's just because it's 35 degrees outside...

                This is the first Lush shampoo I've ever tried. I told the girl working there that I have really straight, oily hair that doesn't do much else than lie flat on my head. She recommended Big, a product she told me she uses herself. I thought that the sea salt was intriguing, and it smells amazing! My hair felt super clean after using it, and I followed up with Veganese conditioner, which I was told is light and will not leave my hair greasy. So far so good. Best of all, you need just a bit to do the trick.

                      Comments about Big Shampoo:

                      As a self described hair product junkie, I have spent way too much time and money searching for a shampoo that will give my thin, limp, short blonde hair a lasting volume. I've stopped searching, now that I've found Big. I use this shampoo on a daily basis, combined with Veganese conditioner, and I get volume that will last through a chaotic 8 hour work shift. It provides volume and shine, and thanks to all the lemon essences, it even gives my blonde hair and extra boost! The shampoo could be considered a bit drying, but as long as you partner it with a good conditioner, it shouldn't be an issue. Oh, and I have never had a shampoo that lathers so much as big! I use a dollop the size of my fingernail and get huge amounts of lather, more than I have ever had with salon brand shampoos. A little will definitely go a loooongg way! I definitely recommend this to anyone who has fine hair and has struggled with this search!

                        i have very flat/oily/long hair and have been searching for all-natural hair products that actually work, and I gotta say that this shampoo works a million times better than the old shampoos I was using! Paired with the Veganese conditioner My hair feels lighter and less oily, even by the end of the day. I love how a little goes a long way and I am definitely in love with this product!

                        Comments about Big Shampoo:

                        I've heard so many reviews over the net about how good the Big shampoo was that I decided to try it myself and juge if it was right for me.

                        I have long, frizzy fuzzy hair, hyper dried out because of all the dying products I put on the over the last years, and since I like moving around and be under the sun gardening or playing sport, they tend to get really greasy at the root.

                        First time I tried it, the shampoo lathered really well (I actually just put a small amount directly on my hair and massage them for a minute or two) and then rinse them. I didn't put conditioner after just to look at how my hair would turn out after the shampoo only.

                        It did a really good job. The overall of my hair was clean, shiny and fresh, the amazing scent stayed a while (my boyfriend was totally addicted to the scent! ha ah) and the tips didn't felt dry anymore.

                        The only thing I was a bit annoyed with was that my hair ended up being all fuzzy like I just took the thunder on me, but that problem was solve with a good conditioner on the second time.

                        So great product, a bit pricey, but worth it if you just have delicate or hyper damaged hair and are sensitive to chemicals.

                          I use this as my regular daily (sometimes multiple times daily) shampoo. I have dry, thin, fine hair. I work outside so my hair experiences a lot of drying wind, hot sun, dirt and sweat. Though it is dry, it can get greasy and gummy when I sweat alot. Big shampoo does a great job of cleaning out all of the gunk and dirt, and leaving my hair clean and happy. I follow with a good conditioner and voila....thin, fine hair with volume, shine, and bounce. The only evidence of damaging conditions is the blonde streaks left by the sun. I love this product!!!

                          My hair is quite fine and I loved how this product added more volume to my hair. My hair looked great throughout the day but I thought the product was harsh on my scalp because it left my scalp feeling very itchy. Although my hair looked great, my scalp was too itchy so I stopped using it after my free sample ran out. This would be a great product for people who don't have sensitive scalps like mine and would want a hair boost. I admit that my hair never looked so great or as full, I just wish the product wasn't too harsh for my scalp.

                              We have this in our regular product lineup, which means that it can be found in all of our shops! There is always the possibility that a shop will be sold out, as the BIG is quite popular, but generally, we do have it available. You can always call your local shop before popping in to make sure that they have a pot or two on hand!

                              The conditioner that would work best with this shampoo really depends on what result you would like to see with your hair, as well as your hair's current needs. Generally, I find that if you're using Big for lots of lift or volume, Veganese is a great match, but feel free to email or call us at 1-888-733-5874 to chat about what the best product for your hair would be.

                            I'm wondering how Big shampoo interacts with colored hair? My hair is dyed darker than my natural hair color and I just want to make sure that Big won't strip the color earlier than it would normally fade out.

                              Because sea salt is very clarifying, there is a chance that it may lift synthetic colour deposits from the hair strand more quickly. You might want to choose a gentler shampoo such as Trichomania or Godiva if you want to minimize colour-loss.
