I’m new to shampoo and conditioner bars, and really didn’t know what to expect. I moved to a new place and no matter what bottled brand I tried, NONE of them were working!! I had been interested in bars for a while but hesitant because of the price. I got some on a whim at a local place and now I’m hooked! I was so surprised at how well this shampoo works - it fully clears any products I put on and any gunk I accumulated without stripping my hair (which is a big balancing act to nail, because my curls are sensitive). Many bonus points for how amazing it smells. My partner and I both use it now, and two people washing our hair about 4 times a week, a single bar still lasts us about 5 months! I stocked up because I don’t think I’ll ever recover if they discontinue this bar. The conditioner is also amazing. My partner has straight, thick, oily hair and I have curly thin hair and we both love it.
