Jumping Juniper Shampoo Bar was the first solid shampoo I've tried. It's actually formulated for greasy/oily hair.. and I guess that my hair (thick curly) would be a combination of very oily on scalp and very dry on the ends. I have the tendency to use lots of styling product and I get build up on my scalp. JJ works as a great clearifying shampoo and removed alot in the first wash. I really like LUSH's soild shampoos beucause they are easy to use lather well. I'm not sure if it's available stateside but I would buy this one over again.

A pretty good shampoo for oily hair. Leaves it clean, almost squeaky clean. Feels like a clarifying shampoo. No major volume boost, but then again my hair seems resistant to almost all body-fying products (with the exception of Dry Klorane). Fresh, foresty smell. Doesn't last as long as I thought, though I tend to use a lot. Got half a bar free, and may repurchase this or another shampoo bar. It's a pretty decent shampoo, better than others for oily hair. The price is a let down though, but if you don't use much per wash, it should work out to a normal bottle of shampoo.

Since I started using Lush shampoos and conditioners almost exclusively I have such lovely soft, silky hair. I usually have coarse hair, but with Lush's almost all natural products you can't tell that I have coarse hair at all, it seems so soft and silky. Without the silicones and other yicky stuff from commercial brands that weigh hair down I have such light hair now, if you are used to the slick heavy weighed-down glossy feel of hair conditioned and cleaned with commercial brands it takes a bit of getting used to, but when you do it is so great, after all who wants slick and heavy weighed-down hair? This particular shampoo bar is just as nice as all the others that I've tried, it lathers very quickly and easily and cleans very clean, it doesn't dry your hair at all nonetheless, but then again I always use conditioner anyways (usually some Lush conditioner of course). It doesn't have much scent though. I said I would repurchase and if I ever run out I will, however I have so many Lush solid shampoos which I am always rotating that it would probably take me years to finish one bar LOL.

I've found that Lush's Jumping Juniper shampoo bar works quite well. It's meant for oilier hair, and it really does wash out dirt and grime, and it manages to do so without making my hair all dry and straw-like. The formula is great, and the little, round bar of shampoo lasts forever. It's a small bar, but very economical. The bar is also purple, which is always a plus with me.

My one major complaint is that this bar seems to have no scent whatsoever. For me, the beautiful smells are a huge part of the experience with Lush, and this shampoo bar has a very, very faint smell. It's really a shame. I probably won't buy it again, not because it doesn't work, but because Lush do other shampoos (like Seanick and Karma Komba) that have beautiful, strong scents and work equally well.

This is the first solid shampoo bar I have bought from Lush, and I'm not dissapointed with it. It lathers well, cleans hair well, and keeps it from going greasy fast without stripping the hair. This smell is gorgeous, but you can't really smell it after washing with the bar. Another plus for me is that unlike some other of Lush's solid shampoos this one doesn't contain any bits and peices to get stuck in your hair! The only reason I didn't give this a 5 is because it gave me more dandruff than usual- but only on the first day of washing my hair (?). I will use this up as its a loveley shampoo, but I won't be re-purchasing.

I have hair which gets greasy really quickly so i had to wash it every day. Then I bought this little round soap looking thing, rub it on your scalp a few times and lather it up. it lathers up really well, doesnt have a strong smell but it made my hair lovely and silky, also my normally greasy hair lasted for two whole days in between washes. It lasts for so many washes that this is a totally good buy. TOP TIP - if you're going travelling take this, it can be used as a shampoo, a soap and even to wash your clothes. you can buy a cute little tin from lush for it to go in.

ohhh! Lathers well & actually helps with my greasy scalp. My hair didn’t look so bad when I did not wash for a day!! Interestingly, some ingredient in it makes my wavy hair curl by itself!! love the idea of a solid shampoo bar. I don’t get any nice swifts of fragrance for this. Will repurchase.

I have been addicted to Lush for about 2 years now and i use I Love Juicy on a regualr basis. However i do a lot of swimming and found that i needed something to take to the pool with me to both get rid of the chlorine and the grease in my hair. Jumping Juniper does the job so well! It lathers excellently, lasts ages and really cleans your hair, leaving a slight citrusy scent on it. I use a combination of fuel, american cream and veganese conditioners with this and they all go well with it. It doesn't strip your hair, and i find that i can go for a couple of days without washing my hair when using this! Would seriously recommend getting a tin to go with it as well!

I have greasy hair and normally for that I use Kerastase's Bain Divalent which is a Balancing shampoo for Oily scalp and Dry sensitised Lengths, which is great and I have no problems with it at all. But seeing that I'm currently travelling, I want something that's just effective and easier to carry around. Enter Lush's Jumping Juniper shampoo bar which is aimed at people with greasy hair such as myself!

It's a purple solid shampoo with a slight citrusy smell. Once you put it on the smell is hardly noticeable and your hair is less greasy! So far so good and at GBP3.60-it's such a steal as it lasts for ages also. All it takes is 3 swirls around the scalp to get a good lather!

Excellent cleaning power, but can leave the hair a little dry - it cleans THAT well. I would use this on a once a week basis. The smell is almost undetectable. Oh, it works well as a body soap too.

I like this very much on the whole, it lasts a long time and i love the fact there's no packaging to dispose of once the bar's finished. My hair is fine and prone to greasy roots and this deals with the greasiness without drying my hair out. On the downside, I find it leaves my hair lacking "oomph" and quite tricky to style.

I used to be cynical about shampoo bars but they're great! This one lathers easily and smells pretty good too (though the scent is rather faint). I don't think it really does all that much for greasy hair though. Perhaps if it is used in conjunction with a greasy conditioner? Anyway, will purchase again.
