Lush H’suan Wen Hua Hair Treatment
Hi Ladies,
I’m here to review one of my favourite hair masks/hair moisturisers ever. It is from Lush and is called “H’Suan Wen Hua.” Just like Montagne Jeunesse, I don’t know how to pronounce this. This is my very first purchase from Lush and when I bought it first, I had no idea whether it will work or not. At that time, I was using L’Oreal shampoo and conditioner, but I used to swim often in chlorinated pools and my hair was quite dry because of this even though my scalp was oily.
After I used this for the first time, I knew I’ll be hooked on to this forever :haanji: even though I feel it is too pricey. As a result, I purchased two tubs and now I’m on a small break from this product as I want to try cheaper alternatives. Because of this reason, I only have two empty tubs now and have to borrow some photos from the Lush website!! 😛
Product Description:
Super-conditioning care to feed your hungry hair. Its Lush salad dressing for the head; a nutritious treat to make hair more healthy and pleased to be alive! Avocados are nutritious and softening, balsamic vinegar gives amazing shine, and watercress infusion is exceptionally high in vitamins and increases the tensile strength of the hair. Eggs are packed with proteins and coat the hair with a protective film. An infusion of bay leaves is stimulating, toning and clarifying for the scalp.
Ingredients:
- Fresh Bay Infusion (Laurus nobilis).
- Fresh Watercress Infusion (Nasturtium officinale).
- Fresh Free Range Eggs.
- Cetearyl Alcohol.
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

Directions For Use:
Apply generously to dry hair; leave on for 20 to 30 minutes, then shampoo out. Use about a quarter of a pot for short hair or about half a pot for longer hair. Those with very long hair should use the whole pot, yes, it is a lot, but the effects are long lasting and well worth the investment.
Price:
$18.95 for 225 g.
My Experience with Lush H’suan Wen Hua Hair Treatment:
Unlike other hair masks/treatments which are to be used after shampooing, this moisturiser is to be used prior to shampooing. Well, I think it makes it more user friendly, as I feel waiting for a hair mask to sink in while having a bath, in winter is just terrible! Well, so I applied this to my hair, waited for around 20 minutes. By this time, it had quite dried on my hair, as in semi dried. As soon as I washed it off with plain water, I could feel that my hair was smooth and sleek.
After this, I shampooed and conditioned my hair as usual. This is another reason why I like this product because when you use post shampoo treatments, you mostly have to skip conditioner.
Well, I would like to comment on the fragrance and texture now. The texture is like a soft fluffy lotion, but the smell, well it smells organic. This product contains eggs, avocado and olive oil among others and smells like a mixture of all three, but I won’t complain as these are wonderful ingredients for nourishment of hair. Even though the SA told me this product can only be used twice for my shoulder length hair :shock:, I cannot afford that, and I use each tub about four times and it works well.
On some days, when my hair feels super dry or extremely thirsty, this moisturiser smooths and calms it wonderfully. Even after shampooing and conditioning, a subdued version of the fragrance still lingers in my hair, but it is manageable for me. However, this smell might be uncomfortable for some. When I go to the beach and abuse my hair with salt water and sun, I definitely use this product soon after. After salt water and the sun plays havoc on my hair, it is one big mess and I really need this product to tame it. Hair becomes more manageable, deeply conditioned, shiny and soft with this product.
Pros of Lush H’suan Wen Hua Hair Treatment:
- Contains eggs, avocados and vinegar, all of which are well known in adding nourishment.
- Makes hair soft and smooth.
- Deeply conditions and nourishes hair, acts like thirst quencher for thirsty hair. :eat:
- Hair becomes more manageable after use.
Cons of Lush H’suan Wen Hua Hair Treatment:
- Contains parabens.
- Extremely pricey, since you need a big quantity each time. (After adding so many good ingredients, I don’t understand why they have to add parabens).
IMBB Rating:
4.5/5
Will I Repurchase Lush H’suan Wen Hua Hair Treatment?
I will definitely repurchase them, but I try not to use it continuously as it is expensive. I will try to make a DIY mask at home with some of these ingredients.

my lush list is growing. 😀 I am quite happy with my loccitane mask but if i get bored with it, i’d give this a try. 😀
Thanks Rati,…. After reading your review I have added the L occitane mask to my wish list…I think only a small quantity is needed with L’occitane …
Reviews are soooo helpful, :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: .otherwise knowing what a product junkie I am , would have spent thousands on bad products ….
i agree. 🙂
Nice review Supriya…sounds like a very good mask…but pricey for the quantity…i have long hair so that means i will have to buy a tub every week 🙁 🙁 🙁
:thanks:
If you have very long hair , I would say try to make a DIY one…..you can use some of the ingredients listed here
Nice review and clicks.. worth trying this as got more natural ingredients.. :balle:
:thanks: Supriya for reviewing this. its sounds greattt …. though a lil on the expensive side. but hell yeah i am so gonna splurge on it :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
yup, this is for you Purbi,….. :yahoo: hope you like it too, it worked well for me .
However please take a sniff at the tester before buying it as the smell might be a turn off for some
:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
oh i wud love to try this….. :woot: :woot: :woot:
:thanks:
Now me torn between the this one and the loccitane
I Bee,
this one is more natural but I think L’occcitane will give you more uses per wash, so will turn out to be cheaper I guess.
Besides both are quite different in how they work, this is pre-shampoo, L’occitane is post shampoo, so you might want to try both :))))
this sounds super. i recently bought a Lush skincare product and love it so i am quite excited about trying more Lush products. will keep this in mind. waiting for my loreal liss ultimate masque to get over first:)
Thanks Aru,
Yes, you should try this :yes:
