Lush Product Development and Styling

Sarah Sango, a seasoned Afro hair care specialist with over 19 years of experience, has significantly contributed to Lush Cosmetics by developing a dedicated hair care range for Afro-textured hair. Drawing from her personal background and professional expertise, she collaborated with Lush's HairLab team to create products that cater specifically to the needs of curly, coily, and kinky hair types.

The range includes six key products:

Avocado Co-Wash: A sulfate-free cleansing conditioner enriched with fresh avocado, designed to gently cleanse and moisturize hair.([We are Lush][4])

Power Conditioner: Formulated with maple syrup and sweet potato to add volume and strengthen hair strands.([The Standard][3])

Glory Conditioner: Inspired by homemade recipes, this conditioner uses okra gel and coconut cream to deeply moisturise and define curls.

Super Milk Conditioning Spray: A versatile leave-in conditioner that combines almond, coconut, and oat milks to soften and detangle hair without weighing it down.

Curl Power Hair Cream: A styling cream that enhances curl definition and provides hold without stiffness.

Reneé's Hair Soufflé: A nourishing hair and scalp oil named after Sango's sister, blending Fair Trade shea butter, coconut oil, and castor oil to seal in moisture.

Sango's work emphasises the importance of representation and inclusivity in the beauty industry. By integrating family-inspired recipes and natural ingredients, she has created a product line that not only addresses the unique needs of Afro-textured hair but also celebrates its diversity and beauty. Her contributions have been pivotal in making Lush's offerings more inclusive and reflective of a broader range of hair care needs.
