Wow. R&B is the best hair moisturizer I have ever used. I rub a pea sized amount between my hands and through the bottom half of my hair. I use this following (my favorite) DermOrganics hair masque and my hair is so smooth and supple. I find R&B has really improved the elasticity of my hair. I have way less breakage and my hair has been growing way faster than it usually does. The scent is very strong but if I use it on damp hair the smell fades as it dries. A def repurchase:)

I've had my pot for About six months and am about half way thru. I use this in my hair( hip long, fine, straight) and my daughters( middle of back, fine, curly). After we get out of the shower I take a pea size amount and rub it between my hands the rub in. It smells like camomile to me, which isn't my favorite smell but you can't smell it once you get into your hair. It leaves out hair soft and tangle free

all i can say is OH MY GOD. this stuff is great if you have dry or curly/wavy hair thats abit coarse and thick. think it would be to heavy for silky hair types. I absolutely love this. i have wavy/curly hair. Noticed on here every one uses it differently. i personally shampoo and condition as normal, towel dry so its abit damp, and i put this through the ends of my hair. my hair dries softers shinier and my curly locks look healthy and revived rather then limp and dry (which was without this). the scent is strong, but i love it. its a fresh sweet smell. sometimes the next day i will use this in a morning as a serum. a little goes along way. i would defo recommend. go and get a sample which i did first. i freakin' love this stuff!

OMG I freaking love this product!!!!!!!
Sure it cost me $30 with shipping and everything from the LUSH site but it was totally worth it, even for such a tiny amount of product.
Last year I bought R&B because my frizzy hair was really ticking me off. I tried a sample of this and the next day went out and bought it. Since then I've moved to where there isn't a LUSH but this product is so good I spend the extra $$$ to get it shipped here. Been using this every single morning and night and I still have the original pot with about a quarter of the product left and I bought it in april of last year and it's may of this year...amazing value for an amazing 99.9% natural product.
Not to mention it smells like orange blossoms and jasmine. I recommend that you try a sample of this or smell it before you purchase in case you don't like the smell because it is very strong and might clash with any perfumes you wear. I let this be my perfume and I ALWAYS have people wanting to touch and smell my hair in public which is weird but hey!
There's NO silicones and everything in this other than a tiny bit of alcohol (to emulsify all of the natural plant butters in this and make it more spreadable I guess) so it's great for you gals who are over all the fake crud on the market.
My best friend says this works wonders on her afro and helps with her breakage as she is transitioning to natural, 2 years in! It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G on our ethnic hair!!

I really wanted to like this conditioner, but I couldn't get past the smell. I guess it's best to try to go to a LUSH store & try things before buying sight unseen.
The conditioner itself was a bit heavy after my hair dried, but I can see where it would work great for someone with naturally curly or unruley hair.

This stuff is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!!! I hope to never be without it! I've been on a chemical-free binge and I stopped using any hair products except all-natural shampoo bars. Although they were nice and gave me soft, bouncy hair, they also left me with very dry, fly-away, straw-like hair. I have naturally dry, coarse, straw-like hair as it is. The shampoo bars also made my hair VERY tangly. So I grabbed this Lush conditioner, I'd never used it before because I didn't know how to apply it, but now I wanted something natural rather than conditioners filled with chemicals and silicone. I rubbed a little bit of this product on, and the result is AMAZING! It gave me soft, VERY shiny, silky, smooth, disentangled hair with beautiful, natural, sleek, well-defined curls. It doesn't leave your hair crunchy at all the way mousses do. It just feels soft and natural. I had such dry, thirsty hair that after a short time it drank up all the product! So then it didn't look like I had any product on at all, no sleek look, but it was still shiny and soft with well-defined curls. Since I have such dry hair and it is long, I need to use quite a lot of product, unfortunately. I take up a tiny little bit, rub it in my hands to make a thin coating and then rub it into the length only, I have to do this EIGHT times to make any sort of difference, because I have such dry hair. But the results are amazing and worth the effort. I don't look like I have greasy hair at all, but that is just because I have such dry hair naturally. If you don't have such desert-dry hair, you won't need so much product.

I love LUSH products, but not the biggest fan of their hair care...until this! After reading all the rave reviews I ran out and picked this up. First off I do adore the jasmine scent to this product. I personally don't find it overwhelming. I have dry, straight hair and I will apply this to my ends when my hair is straight, but this is AMAZING to use after I curl my hair. It totally smooths out any fly always/fluffy bits. It gives my curls nice definition. Leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy. Just be warned, not to use too much or else it can leave hair looking a little stringy. Overall I'm in love with this and have no complaints.

This is my absolute favourite lush product. I have very long, thin, bleached hair and blowdry it every day so you can imagine what a state it's in! But if I smooth a little bit of this through damp hair before blasting it with hot air it actually stays smooth, moisturised and frizz-free. And since it's not filled with silicones there's no "crispy" effect or build-up. However, I have found that when my hair rests on my face after using this I break out in that area so if you're acne-prone make sure to keep it away from your hairline! Oh and like most Lush products it smells absolutely amazing.

I really like this. Quite moisturizing for the hair, and only a small amount is needed for my really long and thick hair.

Pros:
- moisturizing
- helps tame frizzy hair when applied on dry hair
- i personally really like the scent
- don't need to use a lot
- decently priced

Cons:
- scent might be too strong for some people

I love this stuff! I use it every day on my hair and twice a week as a mask in the evening before I go to bed. After doing that for a couple of weeks, my hair is softer but still has volume. It has definitely made my hair look more healthier and it shines really nice. I saw some reviews of people who said that it made their hair a bit greasy, so my advice would be to use just a little bit and if it gets greasy you probably used too much of this stuff. Less is more!

This is marketed as a more natural alternative to a silicone serum - for smoothing down frizz, sealing split ends, improving hair condition, etc. I really like this product. It has a gorgoeus scent that I love, but like everyone else said: SMELL it first, because it's scented heavily. I bought this from the Lush store in the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas...this is relevant because it smells EXACTLY like the hotel. Anyway, the salesperson wasn't as pushy as a regular Lush-person and when she told me this is her HG-for-all-time, she had this look in her eyes that made me believe her. Ha. It effectively shapes my waves and betters the condition of my hair. In general, this is the only styling product I use. I never use a lot and the tub will last me a long time. This is relative - I have medium textured hair of medium thickness. If you can justify the $$, I recommend this stuff. Also, it's just fun to use, which is something we all need in the a.m.

I absolutely love this stuff. I bleach my hair regularly, so it always a bit damaged and after using R&B continuously every day, I definitely see a difference. I love the smell and its pretty easy to work with, though I can see how it may be a bit heavy for some with finer/lighter hair. I wish it was't so pricey :(

I have long frizzy/wavy Caribbean hair that has been chemically treated and coloured so it gets very dry. Everything I tried either worked only on making hair appear smoother or made my hair greasy. This stuff however really does improve the moisture level and texture of my hair without making it feel or look greasy. I use this on mostly dried hair after washing and between washes if my hair is feeling dry and in need of some moisture. It makes my hair feel amazingly soft and keeps the waves sleek.


The scent is very strong. There are tons of botanical oils in it but it mainly smells like jasmine oil. I happen to really like the scent but others might find it a bit much. Be sure to sniff before you buy.


I removed a lippie because whatever the tub or sales material might say, you don't need 'just a little bit' of this product, you need great big globs of it. The tub over 3x the price of comparable treatments for half the usual amount of product. Not cool. But it does work. And I love the smell. I would buy again but I'm also convinced there must be something cheaper that will do the same job.

The sales associate sold this product to me as a curl smoothing, bounce creating product that would become a "staple". For that purpose it didn't work at all, and the product was left to collect dust in my beauty drawer.

Flash forward to a few months later when I bleached my hair blonde twice, and toned it as I prepped to dye my hair blue. My ends were dry, split, and absolutely painful to look at. I thought "How in the world is my hair going to look half decent ever again?" Enter R&B. I remembered this product feeling a little heavy on my hair and the "almost too much moisture" it had given me a few months before. I applied it religiously for a few days and my hair looked beautiful once again.

A few months later I had gone back to brown hair and decided to hilite it blonde. My mom had pulled too much of my hair through so my hair turned mostly bleach blonde. I have to wait a bit to tone my hair so it isn't brassy, but after using purple shampoo/conditioner, I'll apply this and my hair feels SOOOOO SOFT. In reality I know its not healthy, but R&B does an excellent job at masking this.

TL;DR Don't buy this if your hair isn't super damaged, it will likely be too heavy. Buy this is you've fried your hair and need something to help with the recovery.

Used this in conjunction with BIG shampoo when my hair was falling flat, feeling thin and overall lifeless. Worked well as a leave-in and I didn't have to use regular conditioner. At the time I had virgin, very healthy hair. I wouldn't recommend that regimen for hair that is chemically altered or damaged as mine is now, but for my hair then this worked well to moisturize my hair. Only needed a pea size amount. The jar lasted several months.

The scent is intoxicating, it is a lovely strong floral jasmine scent. It reminds me of frangipanis and springtime.

It is lovely at taming my wild mane and the scent lasts until I wash it, which is quite a while! My hair looks like normal people's hair when I use it instead of the frizzy mess it is normally. I would repurchase because it smells so good and nourishes my dry ends.

Update: I think it stopped working on my hair. I still like to apply it to my hair because it smells so good.

How to start? Well first of all. the scent, it's divine and this is coming from someone who isn't too keen on jasmine. I literally have co-workers (mostly male) come to my desk and ask me what that scent is. My man associates this scent with me now,which is really nice. That in mind, if you don't like jasmine, don't buy this, because the smell lingers. Now on to the actual product, this along with other LUSH hair products have made my hair really amazing. R&B softens my hair unlike any other hair product I have ever used, and the best thing, is that a small amount of this stuff goes a loooong way. Really though, use too much and your hair will feel a little stiff, so keep that in mind. Also this stuff helps my split ends a whole awful lot, by helps, I mean that it makes them look less like broom straws and more like hair. So it disguises them :) Despite the steep price point, I am absolutely going to re-purchase this little pot of joy, though I know that I wont run out of it soon.

So Ive been on a natural products hair kick lately, and have been using LUSH shampoo and conditioners for a few months, yet did not want to "ruin" my streak by applying serums, etc on top to help style it. My routine has always been to wash, condition and then put some kind of leave in product, either a styling cream, leave in conditioner, or hair serum and brush it through and then forget about it.
Some people were giving me a hard time ("why would you use these natural products and ruin it by applying CHI or any other serum...") so I went and tried the R&B in store, walked around the mall, then went back to purchase.
It seems kind of expensive until you realize you dont need much of it at all per use, and I have long thick hair.
It smells nice, although I dont find it as overwhelming as some others seem to. I did notice it adds more definition to my layers and makes it look "piece-y" as my hairdresser calls it. My hair is nice and shiny, isnt hard to comb through and dries to nice waves.
One thing Ive noticed though is that it takes my hair a LOT longer to dry (I air dry) with this combo than it did when I used moroccanoil exclusively.

I have fine hair(2a) and my hair can easily get overloaded on protein, considering a lot of products have protein ingredients in them these days. So, my hair's ends would get really dry and brittle faster than normal. I went to Lush to pick up my favorite cleansing shampoo(Juicy) and the SA recommended R&B. She gave me a sample and told me to put a tiny amount on my finger tips and put the product on the ends(ONLY) when my hair was damp. I did this and my ends became more moisturized and less crunchy within a few days. I went back and got the full size and now use it everyday that I wash my hair. I also put it on my dry hair all the way up to right below my ears on nights before a wash and put my hair in a bun for an overnight moisture treatment. Also, I love the smell. It's very beachy but not in an artificial way. I do wish it came in a tube instead of a pot. The pot is cute but I hate dipping my fingers in it. CAUTION: If you have fine or even medium hair, be very careful in the amount you use. You seriously only need a very teeny tiny amount. It is very easy to go overboard and if you do, it will turn your hair into a greasy mess.

I have super dry, red, wavy hair. This product has saved my life. I use it on towel dry hair and sometimes dry hair. I was my hair about 2 times a week, but I can smell this everyday. I love how soft my hair feels and how well it behaves now. I use a lot of this product and have not found the bottom of the tub yet. It does not feel heavy, but can be greasy if you use too much. I would recommend this product to all my fellow redheads!
