Superbalm

I made the mistake of trying this before New Years, ended up cancelling all plans when it turned my fine wavy/curly hair into straight greasy clumps, like I'd been living in a cave for months. REAL BAD LOOK. Took weeks to completely get rid of it.

In my 30 years I have never had scalp problems until I had my first child. My skin and scalp took a hit, I looked for any remedy I could try. I use lush soap bars religiously so after reading up on this product I decided to give it a try. I apply a dime size amount onto my fingertips and massage into target areas on my scalp, I really try to avoid applying this treatment on my hair, my roots usually take a hit but after washing it out with my soap bar twice it removes any residue for me. I feel like I'm back to normal with this balm, the itchiness and flakes are under control. Thank you Superbalm!

I first tried Superbalm on an ex-boyfriend who used anti-dandruff shampoo religiously, which caused his hair to be greasy and lifeless. Superbalm, along with other Lush products I grabbed at the store, made his tight curls spring back into life AND his scalp hydrated and happy. I revisited Superbalm recently for myself after noticing flakes in my bangs. After having the same issue as other reviewers with the wax staying in my hair regardless of shampoos, I browsed Lush's YouTube channel. Not sure why this is not listed on the product or this page, but they suggest to get Superbalm out, put shampoo in your hair when it is dry and THEN wash it all out in the shower. It also looked like their rep applied Superbalm on his scalp dry. I tried this method and that actually got all of the Superbalm out. So! Give Superbalm a shot. Don't give up if there's residue left. Your scalp will thank you.

I had to shampoo 6 times for my hair not to look greasy and dirty after using this... I use Lush's Montalbano shampoo bar, which usually cleans really well. But my scalp is probably even drier now from all the scrubbing I had to do to be presentable at work.

Don't buy this product! It's made of wax and sticks to your hair. Impossible to get out. The top of my head feels hard and oily. Not sure how many washes. Will take it to get it out. I love lush but this product is NOT it.

I used this once for my flaky patches and it worked. Yes, it's greasy but I used Rehab shampoo with it and it cut the grease really well. I will definitely be using this again if needed.

I bought this product a while back and really gave it a chance, but the oils really stay and are impossible to get out. I found my scalp itched even more afterwards and it felt even more dry than it did before. Love lush products, but this one was not for me.

I have long, thick hair and had to use a lot of product to have it penetrate the scalp. It would not wash out. It was so waxy. I triple shampooed, even tried dish soap. Still it looked like I had a greasy, unwashed hair. It felt like a cruel practical joke. Do not use this product if your hair is longer than 1/2inch and you are ok with having a greasy, waxy look after using it.

This was highly recommended to me when I mentioned I had small dry flaky dandruff spots on my scalp. After the first shampoo most of the flakes had cleared as they do anyways for me. But the two days...I had giant flakes of dandruff all over the areas I applied this!! I have used it five more times since in combinations with different shampoos etc. ...and everytime it's the same result. Makes my scalp way worse. So disappointing and the smell is too strong!l!

I read the reviews before purchasing and a lot complained of waxy residue after use, so I used about 1/3 of the container and left it on for 20 minutes like the instructions said. Then I soaked my hair in warm water for 5 minutes before shampooing and it worked perfectly! Scalp and hair feel super healthy, definitely using again.
