Organic Shampoo Bar (Packed with Neem Amla Shikakai Hibiscus) Made in USA (Natural Herbal Clarifying Surfactant Free) Ayurvedic Handmade Aromatherapy (Citrus)

Purchased the Citrus option. The scent of this bar is very pleasing - not floral, not musky, not woodsy - just clean. Lathers nicely. Cleanses effectively. Some bar shampoos have left my hair with an abundance of split ends. Not the case with this shampoo. The large bar is a double-edged sword: May be difficult to handle for folks with smaller hands - at least until the bar washes down some. However, this means less end-of-bar "splinters" as with smaller bars - which means overall more usage with less inconvenience. For the initial few uses, to wear down the sharp edges, lather the bar with two hands, the way a pitcher might handle a baseball. After a few uses like this, the bar becomes much more manageable. This product claims to be USA made, which helps to assure the quality of ingredients and production. Would be nice if the cost was a bit lower, but all told, this is an excellent product.UPDATE: My first bar lasted over 4 months. I do have short hair, though, so YMMV. I am now on to the "mint" scent. This fragrance is much lighter. Pleasant, but disappears. Having two options gives buyers good alternatives between types - citrus, if you want a bit more scent, mint if you just want clean with minimal fragrance.

Gaaaah, I WANT TO LIKE THIS SO BAD!!I've been doing the natural 'poo thing for a couple years now. There's a very pricey shampoo that I use and I've been trying desperately to replace it with someone more cost effective, but sadly this wasn't it. However, I am keeping it to use as a face and body wash while camping or traveling.The smell is absolutely divinely intoxicating. It's buttery smooth and works up a delicious lather. What is it that doesn't work? It leaves that darn waxy coating on my fine, oily hair. I've heard that a ACV rinse helps with the wax but ACV triggers migraines for my husband and I haven't wanted to douse our shower in the stuff.

I've been using it a couple times a week for about a month. My scalp is *much* less itchy (hardly ever, now, and it used to be maddening) and my hair is *much* happier about staying in my scalp and out of my drain.So, therapeutically, it's 5/5. Outstanding!I expected to need to rinse it with vinegar, but when I forgot, I found that it left my hair soft & shiny enough that I couldn't tell the difference.So, looks-wise, it's great, better than expected.Rubbing it into my roots & lathering down the length works well. I just have to be sure not to miss significant parts of my scalp, because it doesn't self-distribute like liquid shampoo.So, in practical usage, 4/5 which is still very good.*Important caveat*I came to this from months of using baking soda & cider vinegar. There is nothing, but nothing, besides hair in my hair. This is unusual. If I were coming over from any store-bought shampoo, I'd expect to have that yucky, stringy action going on for a week or two as my hair & scalp detoxed and the nano-plastics that "impart bounce & shine" worked their way out. There's no avoiding that. Those nano-plastics do an excellent job of making hair feel smoother & fuller & eerily shiny, so be aware that there's an adjustment period before your natural hair can reassert its own bounce & shine.

Minus one star because I dislike the square shape and it doesn't leave a lasting scent. I prefer round soap bars for ease of lathering on your hair & body. The scent is nice and all natural which means it does it jobs of cleaning your hair with good lather. I'm still transitioning to more natural products so take this review as you will. Eventually I'll learn to appreciate that natural products will not have a lasting fragrance and will only clean and not soften hair as would products with chemical products. I'd still recommend this bar to try out. Each person has different expectations. I just felt that it cleans my hair and that's all.

This shampoo bar is like washing your hair with Irish Spring bar soap. It is harsh and leaves a residue that is hard to remove.Since I can’t use it on my hair, I use at a shave bar. It does a nice job for that.I really wanted to like this bar. I make my own Amala, Reetha, Shikakai shampoo that works wonders on my hair, but is a real pain in the rear to make. I was hoping to find something I could just grab and go. This shampoo bar not only missed the mark of my homemade shampoo, it missed the mark of regular store bought crap shampoo. VO5 dries my hair out less (for reference) and doesn’t leave a residue I cannot get out of my hair. I had to wash my hair with clarifying shampoo 4 times before I got the shampoo bar residue fully out of my hair.

So, not only is this bar shampoo a serious money saver, but it made my hair feel so shiny and soft! I have used bar shampoos in the past and found that they are either difficult to lather or leave my hair feeling a little stiff. This one lathered so easily and felt very nourishing. Love love love that all the ingredients are clean and natural as well. Makes such a big deal for the health of your hair!I also often shower at the gym/work and love how easy this is to travel with versus bringing a huge bottle.Oh! And it smells so so good! Highly recommend!!!

I looked into bar shampoo in an attempt to limit the amount of single use plastics I use. I like this one because it used natural ingredients at an affordable cost. 1 week in, I love this shampoo! Smells great, suds up well, and leaves my hair feeling super soft and clean. I think the bar will last a long time too. One week in and you can’t even tell I’ve used it.
