How to use Inventors stories
Wet both hair and the shampoo bar. Glide the shampoo bar down the length of your hair about three times (right, left and back). Work into a lather and rinse thoroughly. Follow with LUSH conditioner if needed. Keep your solid shampoo in a cool, dry place between uses; we recommend using a LUSH shampoo bar tin.

Solid seaweed shampoo for shine and body

Soften tangled locks and add oceans of shine with this mineral-rich, sea salt volumizing shampoo. Seanik is made with nourishing ingredients from the sea: softening Irish moss seaweed and Japanese nori seaweed make your hair soft as silk from root to tips, and sea salt gives body and volume to hair that’s fallen flat. One seriously sexy shampoo, we added lemon oil for extra shine, and the exotic far eastern fragrance of sensual mimosa and jasmine oils to bathe you in the heady scent of tropical flora all day long.

Features

  • Sea salt for body: Mineral-rich sea salt boosts the volume and shine of limp, lifeless hair.
  • Sea what? Softening seaweed strands infuse as you lather, and protein packed nori seaweed is particularly effective at helping care for your scalp.
  • Scent and shine: Lemon adds loads of shine, and exotic florals scent your locks.

I love this shampoo! I've struggled with my oily hair for years and had always had to shampoo daily, sometimes even twice daily in the summer. I've tried tons of shampoo formulated for oily hair, but they've all given me awful dandruff and dried my scalp out.



After a few months of using this, my hair's finally been weaned off the destructive cycle of harmful shampoos and no longer produces oil in overdrive. (Also, no dandruff!)



Seanik makes my hair soft and shiny and my naturally straight hair seems to be even straighter when I blowdry. This is a pro for me, but not sure how this would work out for those wanting volume or curly hair.



I've seen people complaining about the lack of lather; I find that I get more lather if I wet it and work it in my hands before rubbing it on my hair.



Also, I've found that although this smells great in the shower, the scent doesn't hang around for too long afterward. I don't mind, but I know some others might.

I'm a Godiva girl but was curious about trying out Seanik, especially to see if it would deliver its promise concerning shine and volume. It definitely lathers well, and I could almost FEEL my hair getting volumised by the time I had rinsed it out. My hair retained the volume after I dried it too, and I'm sure if I used rollers or blow-dried it for longer, it would be even more "bouffant".



It left my hair moderately shiny and soft, although not as much as Godiva does. So although it delivers on the promise of volume, it falls flat on the shine front. My ends were also frizzy, staticky and a little over-dried, so I would recommend using a heavy conditioner, or even a leave-in conditioner after rinsing.



However, since Seanik has a gentle sweet smell outside the shower, I was hoping it would make my hair smell the same way. NO SUCH LUCK! I noticed while washing my hair that I couldn't detect any fragrance at all, except for the seaweed which smelt like well..seaweed. But where was the orange blossom? Once I dried my hair, I could smell an extremely faint whiff of the fragrance if I literally held my hair in front of my nose for a while and sniffed VERY hard.



So overall I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars. If you want a good volumising shampoo and don't care too much about nice smelling hair or shine, then this is for you.

Comments about Seanik Solid Shampoo:

This product left my hair feeling very clean! I have extremely thick hair and have to wash it every day or else it looks greasy.

24 hours after using this shampoo, my hair still looked clean.

The only problem is that I didn't find it lathered too well, it could be because i have very long and thick hair though

      Comments about Seanik Solid Shampoo:

      I really don't like this stuff. I wish I got the same positive experience everyone else did. I kept this in a plastic bag because I thought it would help it last longer. It didn't. Its a gelatinous mess right now. I really just want to use it all up so I never have to use it again, I've been trying to convince my family to use it but they don't like it either. Not to mention there are chunks of seaweed in it, who wants chunky shampoo? I don't find the smell to be particularly nice either. A lot of the time if I don't put a leave in conditioner in my hair even after conditioning it makes my hair extremely dry.

        I use the product every 1-2 days. I bought a bar well over a month ago and there is still a lot of it left (half the size). It smells great, my hair actually feels clean after I use it and it makes my scalp feel great. It also works great with coloured hair. My colour has lasted weeks longer than it has with regular drug store shampoos.

        I was worried about using it because I have an extremely sensitive scalp, but it's great. I haven't used a product that can measure up.

        The only not so great thing about it is my friends are always trying to steal it.

        Comments about Seanik Solid Shampoo:

        This was my first shampoo bar from LUSH, i've previously bought my shampoo from the local health food store but was unhappy with the results. After a smelling session in store and reading reviews, I decided to get this shampoo bar.

        I love the smell. I wet my hands, and rubs it between them, using that lather on my hair instead of rubbing the bar on my head. It cleans very well, and my hair feels soft and nice afterwards (I use it with American Cream).

        I found that even in the win and with me drying it between showers it stayed a bit mushy, but I also live in a humid area.

        Washing my hair every other day this lasted three months.

        Comments about Seanik Solid Shampoo:

        This was my first shampoo bar from LUSH and I have to say it was not disappointing. First off, the smell is TO DIE FOR. It also just looks so pretty and cute sitting on my self. I went into LUSH and told the girl what my hair type was (Fine and oily) and she recomended the Seanik and BIG solid conditioner to me. The two together work wonders! So the concept of a solid shampoo was foreign to me, so it took a bit of getting used to. I bought a tin, but honestly I've learned that it's pretty much useless if you're not taking your shampoo bar anywhere. DO NOT, I REPEAT NOT, KEEP IT IN THE TIN OR THE SHOWER, IT WILL GET MUSHY. What I do is put all my shower things on a plate while I'm showering then when i get out, I lay my Seanik and BIG conditioner on a dry cloth to air dry, flipping them when the sides are dry. This might be inconvenient but if you think about all the harmful chemicals you're saving your hair from and the wasteful packaging, it is well worth it!

          I used this product daily and I have long hair that would be considered normal hair. I loved this product, I could see it work instantly and it gave me some volume and a bit of a wave as well. This product is also great for travelling since it takes up no room. It also smells great! I love this product and recommend it

            I bought this on a whim. I have bizarre hair that is often dry and out of control with fly aways but I am quite active so my hair gets quite sweaty, gross, full of chlorine and just weighed down. My old after swimming shampoo stripped my hair or everything and left it feeling like straw.
            I was skeptical to try a solid shampoo, but am quite pleased with the results so far. Seanik cut all the oil, sweat and chlorine out. After the first time I thought it was too harsh for my hair, but with a good conditioner my hair is light, in control, my fingers can run through my hair (a rare occurrence on it's own!) without pulling out chunks of hair.

              Comments about Seanik Solid Shampoo:

              This stuff is amazing. Use it about five or six days a week on normal-oily hair. I got a new bar yesterday and due to being easier than the little broken pieces I had left of my old one, I really went to work on a good lather today. I have a semi permanent hair dye in, and its washing out a lot more at my roots than at my long ends (I wouldn't say Seanik strips colour or anything, its just been in for a while), so I washed my full strands today. Most shampoos this would dry it out. But today my WHOLE HAIR feels incredible instead of just the scalp. My first bar did last me a very very long time, and i probably even wasted a lot before I understood how to properly store it (a wire shower rack out of the water stream works best, gets air and doesn't stay soggy) but I will say towards the end it gets a little harder to use. I still definitely got my money's worth though so no complaints.

              Try it, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Great hair at a great price, and the solid bar is fun!

                dreadlocks are a weird thing to keep clean, you have to be careful about what you use and this bar is perfect for looking after them. It strips out oil really well and doesn't have any residue to weigh down hair. Seanik also has such a pretty scent that I look forward to getting to use it.

                      I bought this product with high hopes. And let me tell yah, it's great! I have quite oily hair so I was looking for something that would help me out with that. It does wonders for me.
                      Although some have complained that the scent isn't strong enough, I find it's perfect. With all the products that go into my hair after I was it there isn't a hint of the smell left, however there's no shampoo out there that would still have a smell left over after all my treatments.
                      I honestly can't think of any draw backs other than if you don't have oily hair, this is not the product for you.
                      Bottom line, I love this product, I love the gentle scent, and it does wonders for my hair. I would 100% recommend this to a friend.

                          The thing I love the most about seanik is the smell - it's very unique, hard to describe, kind of like the sea. absolutely lovely :)
                          Unfortunately the scent doesn't linger and you won't smell it in your hair afterwards; only while you're lathering.

                          I get my hair soaking wet, dry my hands, then rub the shampoo bar right into my roots, one circle at the back of my head and one at the top, where my hair gets the greasiest. The shampoo lathers really well - you don't need very much. I've used this for six months, every other day, and I've used a third of the bar. Price wise, for the same amount of use it's a bit more expensive than herbal essences or any other typical drugstore brand.

                          It gets all the grease out of your hair without ever being drying. I have normal hair and I've used this without conditioner; every day; every three days, and my hair always comes out soft and perfectly balanced, oil/dryness wise.

                          Don't worry about the seaweed bits getting stuck in your hair. There aren't actually that many, and on the rare occasion that one gets free from the bar, it'll wash out of your hair.

                          I would recommend keeping it in a covered container of some sort so it doesn't wash away. Either a lush tin, or a plastic dollorama soap container.

                          All in all, keeps your hair perfectly balanced oil-wise, not drying, decent price, lathers well, smells lovely.

                          I got this as a sample with my last purchase. I hadn't tried the solid shampoos up to this point because they are full of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (research).

                          I did try it just to see what they are like and I liked the smell alot more on my hair than sniffing the bar. The bar smells like laundry detergent to me :s But it is much nicer once you rinse your hair. I found it dried out my hair a bit, so I would recommend a conditioner with it.

                          Good product, hopefully they can change the ingredients in the future.

                            IF YOU ARE A SWIMMER, SWIM TEACHER, OR A LIFEGUARD - YOU NEED THIS SHAMPOO. My hair felt terrible after teaching swimming lessons 5 times a week, EVEN when I wear a swim cap. I was recommended this solid shampoo from a lush consultant and as long as I work at a pool, I will use it. It makes your hair blindingly shiny, and you do not smell the chlorine in your hair. It is MUCH more affordable than Aveda After Sun which strips your hair of chlorine AND everything else. LOVE IT.

                            After reading a bunch of reviews and getting some input from the SA, I finally decided to dive in and try this solid shampoo.
                            I've been using it for a month and I really do enjoy it. The scent is lovely. It actually makes my entire bathroom smell like it :) I used to wash my hair every other day, but I found that after I began using Seanik, I can go a little longer between washes, which is nice. My hair feels a little rough after washing, so I definitely recommend using a conditioner. Once my hair is dry, its actually has more volume and is softer.
                            The only problem I have with this shampoo is that it does not lather well if you have hard water. You have swipe a couple more time to get the same results as if you were using a softer water.

                              I used to have to wash my hair once a day (in the summer sometimes twice) because though I have a lot of hair, it's very fine and looks oily very fast.

                              I have tried many different cleaning methods (no-poo, twice a week, dry shampoo) and this is the shampoo bar for me. At least for Spring, Summer and Fall (for the Winter this may be a bit too astringent, FYI).

                              However, when the weather is not too dry, this is perfect, give my hair volume, cleans my hair super well without over drying it (I used it with Veganese conditioner on the tips of my hair) and gives it a nice shine.

                                I used to have to wash my hair just to get it to not be so dry and frizzy (sounds crazy, I know). Since using this product (in conjunction with American Cream conditioner) I have the hair I always wanted. I no longer wake up in the morning with an insane blonde afro, it no longer looks like a tornado went through my hair. My hair is now calm, smooth, shiny and my wavy hair is under control. I no longer need to wash my hair everyday to infuse moisture, I can wash it every 2-3 days even and it looks amazing!

                                  I originally bought it because I am working at a summer camp this summer and I didn't want to carry a lot if it was a shared shower. Tried it at home, and I instantly fell in love. My hair is softer and fuller than it has ever been and it smells amazing. I love the fact that I know that it's a vegan product so it's good for me and the environment. Buh bye messy liquid bottled shampoos!
