There's more fruit in a rich man's shampoo than in a poor man's diet

[@Givemepeacealone]

Kuchi Kopi the fuck is wrong with you

[@asia9550]

Kaz Don ..... well said 👍

[@clown_lad]

Considering fruit is one of the cheapest foods, and can be found for free.....the only poor thing here is your intelligence lmfao

[@elihauser1840]

Dearest Satan fresh organic fruit especially avacados are so fucking expensive get out of your bubble and look around you

[@kiwix4015]

Kuchi Kopi What the fuck? Slow your role and quit making assumptions, would ya?

I feel terrible the poor soul that washes the dishes

[@sarcasticallyevelyn8418]

they prolly use a dish washer of some sort

[@navybrowning3698]

Better at lush than like a peep or marinara factory

[@islandercatcatrea1876]

They prob let it dry them peel the leftover off.

[@Mittie98]

I love lush bit always thought they were on the expensive sode. Wow, now I know why. A lot of work and fresh ingredients go into their products

[@Mittie98]

*bit *side

[@nnnnhhhh88]

*but? :D

[@loveforskz2212]

Youtty Lovvy there is no but in that sentence

[@nnnnhhhh88]

yeah because she messed up. Its 'I love lush BUT always thought.."

[@emptyricebowl]

mittie rowland organic products are expensive and it does help your skin and hair. Lush does have the benefits they say the products has. They also use fresh ingredients. Expensive but worth it

[@NikkiMedina]

I wanna work at the Lush factory sooooo bad😭😭

[@LUSH]

Keep an eye on our Careers page - maybe your chance will come up soon! www.lushusa.com/Careers-at-LUSH/careers-lush,en_US,pg.html

[@rorror9684]

Nikki Medina good luck 😉❤️

[@emptyricebowl]

Nikki Medina it's really hard! If you don't like being dirty or getting powders splashed on you then Lush in not the job. Overall it's a really great job!

[@Kokose]

Works at factories and warehouses is really hard. I used to work in spices factory - i was packing spices into the bottles and tiny containers. It was really hard job - pepper in eyes, smell of curry on you all the time...

[@winonavalentina6206]

Aleksandra Michałowska lush is a soap factory 😑

[@braydenwisniewski7312]

You should save the seeds and plant avocado trees

[@mari3564]

That's not how it works

[@poppy-rae2795]

if they did it from the pit it would take 15 years, but it has to be a special type of pit so not the ones they use.

[@JaggedBeauty]

Actually they do... my living room is full of avo trees growing from the pits.

[@JaggedBeauty]

my penis is unbelievably small, theres tons of sunlight and I have massive pots that they’re in. They aren’t large enough yet to transfer outdoors. You should really KZbin “how to grow an avocado tree”. It’s super simple. Perhaps do your research before you and your small penis are sassy to people online.

[@we_todd]

@@_iamnotsober my grandma has a little avocado tree in her house, she's been growing it for as long as I can remember

[@juliaiero8366]

Katie looks like a fun person to be friends with. She just gives off such a sweet vibe.

[@TheNailFairy101]

Traditional co washing is what a lot of African American women do, like I'll wash my hair with shampoo 1once a week and for the 3 consecutive weeks I'll just use conditioner. Helps the natural oils and needed oils stay in your hair.

[@Jadedgems]

Keren Ingram yes it's very good for your hair

[@vanyellbutterfield7838]

yup co-wash is short for conditioner wash

[@theywalkinguptoyouand4060]

Actually washing hair with shampoo allows your scalp to replenish the natural oils in the scalp. Conditioners are purely cosmetic. They can't nourish hair because the hair is not alive. Only the very roots and the scalp are alive and conditioners just make the hair look good but don't nourish it. I shake my head whenever I have a young female patient who uses conditioner all the time instead of a shampoo. I'm a dermatologist and I rarely ever use conditioners.

[@StudioJohm]

proudblackjynx interesting, thanks for sharing that.

[@asho345]

proudblackjynx African hair needs extra TLC so co washing or oil rinsing every once in a while is very useful. Hair is not alive but it needs to be conditioned to remain soft like any fabric or fiber that experiences high manipulation.

[@Rchelsee59]

If I worked at the lush store, I would never have a paycheck❤️😻

[@annaelisabeth8436]

What do you mean?

[@myafigs6065]

[@lolkid3249]

[@cosmicshen88]

Exactly what happens. Lol. It’s like I work for free.

[@joanainacio88]

I worked in Lush and used my 50% discount all the time! Had no money at the end of the month but oh boy I smelled fabulous!

[@littlebluedolphin]

I wanna EAT that bowl of yummy ripe avocados!! Omg!

[@LUSH]

We can attest that they are super yummy! 😍

[@littlebluedolphin]

LUSH Cosmetics North America Oh my, you're making me drool!!! Lol! Time to shop for some avocados and feast on them!!😋😄

Me, too.

[@michaelronen6637]

This brand is really amazing and I appreciate the care that goes into their products.

[@nowherenewsman7542]

I’m aware that there’s probably preservatives etc that also go into their products but it’s amazing that their products don’t spoil or go sour since they’re essentially just oil and produce

[@lilliethomas3490]

I wish sometimes they would describe things better. I would describe a co-wash as a curly hair method in which on days you don’t shampoo, you co-wash with conditioner, and that this product is a version of that method in which the conditioning product actually cleanses your hair slightly rather than just using conditioner which people would normally do. I know people who don’t have curly hair co-wash but it primarily comes from that method and I kinda wish they would state that.

[@BrujaFemCult]

I love these videos they're so cute and fun! I would personally like for them maybe to be a bit longer. Maybe talk about the effects more and where we source ingredients from. We just don't want you guys to stop!

[@prettynflawed]

All the avocados!!!! YUMMY!!!!

[@TheButtercupbiscuit]

I love how real she is on camera! You can tell she is just being herself and loving what she does. She is also very beautiful😍Great video! 😃

[@karis7888]

I'd love to see fizzbanger being made! It's my favourite bath bomb!

[@stancexpunks]

I was pretty disappointed with how weak the moisturizing effects were on my thick, coarse, and color treated hair. It seemed like I used a good amount because I spent a good 5 minutes rubbing it all over my hair. All the reviews on KZbin made it seem like its super moisturizing so to be careful not to overuse it, so I was a bit let down. I then tried Aveda's dry remedy shampoo and conditioner and the moisturizing was insane! My hair felt so smooth, soft, and shiny. Simply amazing.

[@victoriap.3394]

oh hey i remember using a product made by her once

[@BlackBerryTrees]

yes! this looks so amazing! I love that you can also consider this a "naked" lush product since you could bring your own packaging to the store to get your co-was put in there!

[@katieb2098]

I feel like their forced too smile even in the stores they seem so happy like no ones that happy

[@lydia7939]

Now it's made on Lemony Flutter (Cuticle butter)!!

This makes me want to try it out even more now seeing the great ingredients used to make this shampoo!

[@ahha1834]

Katie you're sunshine! Lush is lucky to have you :-)

[@kimberwilkerson8827]

can someone explain the wax? like i get it's to preserve it or whatever but what do you do with it?

[@maykimura4587]

Would love to see Mask of magnaminty, as I use it everyday. But the fresh face masks would be really cool to see. I love that LUSH lets you see how they make the products and they show you want goes in it. Awesome. I can't wait for my next LUSH trip just to get this solid conditioner.

[@LUSH]

Thanks for the feedback! We've made videos for two of our Fresh Face Masks so far - you'll find Cupcake here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp6XkImGh6-gbas and you can watch Brazened Honey here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKHJq6eop9VlbtE

[@maykimura4587]

+LUSH Cosmetics North America I know. Haha I've seen them all. I wouldn't mind seeing the other fresh face masks as I plan on purchasing Cosmetic Warrior and Don't Look At Me as soon as it's in stock somewhere. Those too are so popular I haven't been able to even get them in stores.

[@valsings49]

+May Kimura they made it! :)

[@maykimura4587]

[@medinayusazlan]

i got a package sprayed with avocado co wash body spray, my god. fell in LOVE with the scent but sadly im still broke. the package with the shirt in it? never wore it, put it on a pillow and i hug it to sleep every night. the smell weirdly reminds me of my childhood !! in LOVE cant wait until i can afford this

LUSH Cosmetics North America

[@ashleyaniton2684]

You can always ask them to cut a certain size. So say you only want to spend 8 dollars. You can ask the sale associate to cut that amount.

[@InfestedLice]

Ashley Aniton that's what I did and this rude lady said no we can't do that it I was like ok thanks and in my head I said all i asked is for a 9 dollar sliced and she didn't even do it!

[@InfestedLice]

LUSH Cosmetics North America no problem 😘

[@briantranle6370]

I can't wait to go out and get this product!!! These videos gets me excited to go to my local lush store.

[@LUSH]

Aw, thank you so much for your kind words! We can't wait for you to try Avocado Co-Wash!

[@em4957]

Ahh these videos make me want to buy everything Lush makes... I really want to work at a retail store just because I could work with these products all day and inform people about the ingredients, how the products are made and how to use them lol

[@melanievega3469]

I love this shampoo bar!! I got a sample for the store and I tried it almost a week ago and my hair till this day still smells good and it doesn't feel greasy. Can't wait to go back to the store and get a full one.

[@LUSH]

Yay! We're so happy Avocado Co-wash is working for you! Plus, doesn't it smell incredible!? 💞

[@nenitastar99]

Lol, good luck with trying to make these without avocados. Greetings from mexico✌🏼💚❤💚❤

[@coastminos]

i would really like to see some of the luxury oils and emotiboms but mask of magnaminty sound really amazing

[@Pippi-rippi]

I love these videos. Really love seeing how it's made. Love your store and the love you put into it xx

[@cassandrac7723]

This thing smell just sooo good !!! I wish lush had something for the body smelling just like the cowash

[@JarvisChrist]

half the point of co-washing is having NO SULPHATES, this contains sodium laureth sulphate. Almost got my hopes up when the description said good for dyed hair when sulphates strip colour out like nothing else. Almost false advertising.

[@alexissolidrock]

Do you know if there are any alternatives to sulfates?

[@HimeGabi]

JarvisChrist I caught the same thing.

[@kingsly8741]

SLS does remove excess oils, but it works well within this product because the first ingredients are cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, and fresh avocado. It very gently removes oils you've amassed throughout the day and replaces it with rich moisturizers. So you are still cleansing your scalp when you use it (SLS, apple cider vinegar).

[@JamesCarneval]

キングスレー that's not what she said, she didn't say it's bad for your scalp and hair, although it is, it's the fact that it does strip hair dye like fucking crazy and makes me dying my hair absolutely pointless.

[@JamesCarneval]

Aleks Kisilenko acetates, betaines, sarcosinates, just look for certified organic cosmetics which lush is obviously not

[@lilms.deafpastrychef7249]

Omg there's something for my natural hair 😭😭😭😭 cry of joy

[@dezzfoxx3957]

one of my favorite scents! I want so much more products with this scent. :D

I love.her energy she keeps.on smiling

[@nessaa.5399]

I would love to see how the experiementer is made!

[@KrazyKraftKitty]

lush should make a geode looking bath bomb

[@shivalishankersharma1562]

This is incredibly satisfying to watch.

[@KitKat-bv4vt]

Love using this for my hair (very dry and frizzy but not curly) washes but still leaves enough oil that my hair doesnt feel super dry after washing it. Takes longer to wash hair though but I only use this (like not shampoo and conditioner)

[@scaldlemon9847]

if i was working on that id be eating all the avocados

[@kavitakumar76]

show us how the experimenter is made!!

[@lovelyjay6982]

I got a sample of this stuff and let me first start off by asking if anyone else thinks it smells like fruit loops or is it just me? ❤️ Anyway, the girl that works at the Providence location was very nice and demonstrated it for me on her arm and explained its usage. I was skeptical to use it because a) I have color treated hair (almost black) and b) I didn’t think it would work for well with my hair type. So I sat on it for a while until I decided “what the hell, I can always get my hair dyed again”, and let me tell you, I’m glad I did. My hair is SO SHINY AND BOUNCY. It’s never flowed in the wind like this before!! I’m not sure if it’s because I used it in conjunction with R&B Hair Moisturizer but I’m in awe. I DID see some dye from my hair going down the drain when I rinsed the co-wash out, and I’m not a hair expert but I think that’s normal with hair that’s dyed nearly black? I assume this is accurate because I’ve used several different shampoos that claim to be color-safe while having my hair this color and I’ve seen a lot of stripping. Either that, or the dye used in my hair is shitty because I wash my hair with cold water. 🤷‍♀️ Bottom line, Idc if this product is stripping, it works amazingly on my hair!!!!!

[@suriyamclean9440]

The tea infusion looked like it'll smell amazing!!

[@alexissolidrock]

How does the product not go bad through the whole process of shipping and sitting in the store until it is purchased and such when avocados are ripe for approximately 2 minutes before they go bad? xD

[@LUSH]

Hi there Aleks! We use an expert blend of ingredients to preserve our products for their shelf lives. For Avocado Co-Wash's full ingredient list, check out the product page here: www.lushusa.com/05940.html

I love that mask!

[@Mojohjohjoh]

I made avo co wash yesterday and I love the comment 'I'll be right back, I need to get more avocados' because it's sooo true!! I had to get some from dairy and some from fresh!!

[@Strangely_Sexy]

I can see why you guys are expensive. They aren't some cheap garbage, they are quality! So much goes into these wonderful products :)

[@raineydays6307]

So how do you use this? Peel the wax off and scoop some out with your hands? I don't understand why it's packaged like this. You can't leave it in the shower.

[@LUSH]

Hi there, Stephany! We recommend peeling the wax off and then either rubbing the bar down the length of your hair, or taking a pinch of product and working it through. While we don't recommend keeping it directly in the shower due to risk of melting, you can definitely keep it on your counter or in your bath room!

[@hudaaidouni87]

+LUSH Cosmetics North America plz do how it's made peau neuve mask

[@channe4558]

It'll be much better for your hair if you eat those avocados and olive oil, rather than putting it on your scalp and then washing it 2 minutes later.

[@user-dz2hj6jo5h]

türev alan johnson eating it only helps at the root. This is for the entire hair

[@user-dz2hj6jo5h]

TheTR1358 it’s the conditioner. Conditioner is going to stop the entire hair from getting dry, therefore brittle. Consuming it will make the hair thicker but it can’t change the hair externally as that hair is dead.

[@ciamarsh2067]

I would love to see you do a how it's made for R&B - my holy grail hair product!!

[@Shy411]

This has become my favorite cleansing shampoo bar.!!

[@_puppitoga12_99]

I though it was: I’m - and I’m making out with Avocado co-wash! And THATS WHERE BILLIES AVOCADOS WENT!!! AND FRICK she is WAY to happy..

[@sonjaelmkjrlubich8980]

Why do you put wax on it???

[@LUSH]

We use a beautifully contrasting red wax to help the product stay fresh for longer. As you saw, we use real fresh avocados in the creation of Avocado Co-wash, and avocados tend to brown when oxidizing. The red wax will help keep our love conditioning hair wash the freshest for the longest! ☺

[@sonjaelmkjrlubich8980]

Making products like this is so much better than artificial cosmetic products people get, its good on the environment, your body and won't cause cancer

[@sadiegallagher6533]

teeth She was stating that many beauty products have chemicals that can cause most commonly skin cancer

[@selenalamothe8681]

These arent all natural and actually a lot of these products have potentially cancer causing ingredients. You should research each item and pick the safest, that's what i do. There are other companies that make completely safe and all natural products like 100% Pure.

[@lumi_blu]

there is a lush shop in our plaza and it's very popular, now that i know how its made i might use one of their products in the future :)

Does anyone else see how happy everyone is in all theses vids 😊😊😊

[@rllyhavenoclue]

This stuff smells heavenly. Too bad my hair tends to run oily, so I'm not sure a co-wash is the best idea.

[@giovannagilio8499]

This is pure magic

[@SA1992]

I have tried this product. I have 2c-3a curls and long hair. It was really hard to work with because the bar has a buttery type of consistency and it didn't lather up in my hair. It lived up to its promise, I had a lot less, frizz and really curly hair. It left my hair feeling thick and almost a bit "waxy" I will not be using it regularly since it was really hard to work with and a bit too heavy for my hair, I prefer loose curls. But I would recommend it for persons with short and really dry hair:)! I think its easier to lather up when you have short hair.

[@iloveanimalsxxo]

Went to lush for the first time yesterday and bought this co wash. I can't wait to try it!

[@LUSH]

We can't wait for you to give it a try either! Make sure to let us know how it goes! ☺️
