For the past four years, I have faithfully used Lush hair products without straying from my tried and tested favorites. My usual go-to products include Big shampoo or Swell, paired with either Veganese or American Cream conditioner. It took some time to find this perfect combination, but it works well for me.
When I discovered that Lush had introduced a Snow Fairy shampoo on TikTok, I was curious. I wondered if it had the same scent as the sprays, if it contained glitter, and what effects it would have on my hair. Would it actually dye it pink?
Snow Fairy is among my preferred scents at Lush, so whenever it’s available each year, I make sure to grab some new products right away.
Recently, they launched the Super Fairy collection, a delightful blend of Super Milk and Snow Fairy, which I absolutely adore.
Upon trying the shampoo, I can confirm that it smells quite similar to the spray, albeit slightly less sweet, which was expected. However, I was surprised by how pigmented the product is; it genuinely resembles hair dye!
The bottle warns against leaving the shampoo on dry hair for too long as it may potentially dye it. This prospect excited me as someone who has never dyed their hair before.
A TikTok user named Aimee (@love_lushie) shared her experience with the Snow Fairy shampoo turning her bleached hair pink after leaving it on for an hour. Results may vary for different individuals, so caution is advised.
The product is intentionally pigmented, as indicated on the website, so it’s important to rinse the shower thoroughly after use. Despite the warning, the experience was all in good fun for me.
Upon application, the glittery, bright pink shampoo seemed to instantly stain my hand, raising some concerns about potential staining on my hair. Despite my initial apprehension, I proceeded to lather it up and wash my hair thoroughly.
After rinsing, my shower smelled amazing, and my hair felt exceptionally clean. Transitioning from a salt shampoo to a more traditional product was a unique experience.
Although I had hoped for a hint of color, my unbleached hair remained unchanged. Nonetheless, the shampoo left my hair feeling clean and fresh, emitting a delightful scent.
After styling my hair as usual and using the Snow Fairy hair primer, I noticed that the shampoo seemed to brighten my hair, giving it a lighter appearance than usual.
Overall, I am impressed with the Snow Fairy shampoo. It effectively cleanses without leaving greasiness, imparts a fresh look, and offers a delightful scent.
For those interested, a 100ml bottle of the Snow Fairy shampoo is priced at just £9. Don’t hesitate to give it a try, and if you manage to achieve pink hair with it, feel free to share your experience!
