The Golden Cap

Bought a bar of Gold Cap two months ago because the American Cream bar was out of stock. For context I have shoulder-length, un-dyed, very fine hair. PROS: Pleasant smell, fun but subtle shimmer. Impressive structural integrity compared to other conditioner bars - Three weeks ago I cut it in half and it hasn't crumbled at all yet. CONS: Requires 3-4 minutes of vigorous rubbing to get the conditioner to transfer to my hair. Feels more oily than lotion-y. Hair does not feel moisturized or hydrated afterwards. Reminds me of the old solid conditioners that came before the current pressed conditioners, which in my opinion were never that effective. Overall I buy conditioner to make my hair feel moisturized, which this doesn't do, so I can't recommend.

I was excited to give this product a try since it was replacing the amazing Jungle bar. I unfortunately could not get over the scent to try it :( While we all have differing scent preferences I feel Jungle had a lighter and more appealing scent for a wider population. Golden Cap has an almost baby powder smell for me and if that is something you like then this is the bar for you!

I used the product once and seemed comparable to other lush conditioners I have used. However, I ended up having to get rid of it. I wasn't a huge fan of the smell and my partner found it nauseating. Really wish I could continue to use it because it seems to work fine, but the smell is so strong and really overpowers anything else I have in the bathroom!

I have a lot of hair but fine hair that has a tendency to be frizzy, dry and unruly. I use Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo which is the only shampoo that has ever worked for me so I was excited to see stout in this product because my hair loves beer. Other naked conditioners have not worked well for me so I was skeptical but let me tell you that this one is phenomenal. My hair has never been more shiny and easy to comb through wet or dry. There is such a dramatic difference in my hair that my husband and co workers noticed I was doing something differently. The first 2 washes I was pretty impressed but by the 3rd wash you could really see the change. My hair feels like a bunny it's so soft and the shine is unparalleled. I do heat straighten my hair and after my hair looks and feels like I just stepped out of an expensive salon. The heat styling is where the smoothness and manageability are at their best. I also noticed I am shampooing far less. I can go 7 days with my hair up the last 2 days without my hair being greasy or dirty looking. This will forever be in my shower!

I have super fine hair and am a big fan of the pressed conditioners, so I was excited to try a new one! This was a blind buy so I was super disappointed when it arrived. It smells so weird to me... not getting any orange or vanilla-- definitely strong anise notes which I hate. Of course it's overpowering every other smell in my bathroom now. Love what it does to my hair, but it's not worth it if I have to smell this all day :(

I love the solid shampoos, so I wanted to switch my conditioner to solid too. I am surprised by how well they lather and work into hair, and they last forever. Golden Cap is definitely my go to of the 3 solid conditioners Lush has right now, as I bleach and color my hair often, I need moisture. It doesn't fade out my neon hair colors either. The smell is wonderful, like a light honey pastry, and the glitter rinses right off my hair while leaving the bar looking nice between uses. It doesn't leave my hair as soft as Candy Rain, but I much prefer the smell of Golden Cap (and the solid form). I would have never realized there was beer in it or that beer would feel so nice on my hair.

It works! I have thick long hair, I pass it over my hair strands like a brush, wait 5 minutes or more rinse out and my hair actually stays detangled and it smells like baby powder; I will keep buying this one.

Was using American cream before and thought it did not lather very well so wanted to try something different. This bar lathers much better, it gets kind of creamy rather than foamy but applies pretty well. The smell is definitely going to be hit or miss with people though; personally I'm not really sure what a stout should smell like but to me this bar smells like black licorice with maybe a hint of caramel? I personally find the smell fine but I'll admit it's probably going to be difficult to pair with a matching shampoo. Overall I quite like it, easier to detangle my hair and it does seem to help with dryness.

The scent is HEAVENLY!!! I feel like a goddess. And the volume my hair has is amazing!

This conditioner bar is amazing! I like that it has a lingering fragrance on my hair. Loved the scent and the moisture to my hair. Didn't leave my hair feeling flat or weighed down. I have long, fine, oily scalp and dry ends type of hair. Will be buying this again.
