FoamieShampoo Bar, Argan Oil for Dry & Frizzy Hair, Plastic-Free, pH-Balanced, Soap-Free, No Sulphates or Parabens. Made in the UK.

Guys I've figured it out!!!Be patient with them.I purchased the coconut shampoo and the aloe Vera conditioner. I also have the purple one too and have tried the raspberry coloured ones too, so read for more info on all.I tried the Ethique sample heart bars and they're good but they don't smell nice at all which put me off them, plus I could never tell which one was shampoo or conditioner or body wash, and never knew where to put them without making them soggy or needing to buy or make a breathable soap dish.So far I prefer foamie as it comes with a labelled cotton string. They can hang up and dry out in the shower (away from running water). No need to buy a soap dish! The labeling is such a nice touch and is what made me try them out. I personally love that they're flatter and curved. They fit in the hand comfortably and don't slip with the string. I haven't had them for too long to tell you how long the string lasts attached to the bar, but I feel if you keep it out of running water when it's drying & when you're showering then the string should last! Also be mindful of the string and focus on using the other end of the bar to rub in (not the string end.)So I ordered the blonde purple shampoo bar as I have long blonde highlighted straight caucasian hair. The smell is a chemical grape.. not a wonderful smell but okay. It definitely works though to keep brassy orange tones out of your hair and keep the blondes vibrant so it does the job! It foams/lathers up brilliantly (so far they all do, including the conditioner bars so the name of the brand is spot on lol).I also have tried the Raspberry shampoo and conditioner for coloured hair. (My friend got it). But I did not like it! The smell wasn't very pleasant for me, almost chemical smelling and not raspberry. The coloured hair conditioner didn't feel like it had done anything nourishing or benificial to my ends. My roots felt too squeaky and waxy and dry. It could have been the way that I had applied them or the fact that it was my first time using them but I still wasn't that impressed.Usually I wash my roots with shampoo twice. Then condition the ends of my hair once and leave in for 3- 5mins while I wash or shave. This is exactly what I did with the coloured bars and it didn't feel that good. I will admit though I had SO much volume to my hair, it felt so much thicker than before which was nice but that was the only pro.Now here's what I would suggest, which is exactly what I've done and I'm very happy with the results.I washed my hair with just the coconut shampoo for normal hair on my roots only once then rinsed. The coconut bar so far is my favourite scent. It's a lovely creamy sweet coconut vanilla smell, I was already pleased with that part! Then I applied the aloe vera conditioner bar which is for dry hair (also smells lovely to me) to my roots and ends,.. I know strange, but I figured if the conditioners foam too maybe it would be nice all over my hair, perhaps make it feel softer?I always apply argan oil to the ends of my hair or a detangling syrum no matter what product I'm using so I did this too once out the shower and towel dried (I used argan oil even when used coloured bars).Well let me tell you, it's so much better. My hair feels soft and shiney and healthy. Not immediately after rinsing, but once it was starting to dry and fully dried. I like to air dry my hair as much as possible, to stay away from heat when I can. Once it was fully dried it felt, looked and smelt lush. I was soooo pleased.I'd be patient with these, your hair and scalp and yourself can take time to get used to using no silicones, sulphates and soaps in your hair. Of course your hair isn't going to be as super soft when it's wet without all those other unnecessary chemicals. So just bare that in mind that you might be a bit puzzled at the texture of your hair to start with or when it's wet. This does pass after a few washes, plus using the technique I described really has helped. I much prefer the bars I've bought. I would highly recommend them both. Considering buying the coconut conditioner and aloe Vera shampoo now too hehehe.I hope this review can help you choose which ones to get, especially if you have similar hair to mine.Reducing plastic and being more sustainable is so important, I hope this review can incourage more poeple to make the change.

I use this after swimming and its concentrated so lasts about three months and leaves my hair soft and shiny

I love the idea of no plastic and this bar ticks the box. You need very little to work up a good lather and it leaves my hair in great condition. It doesn't have much scent and as the bar is wearing down I'm beginning to wonder if going to work out quite expensive.

I love this shampoo bar. It is one of the best I’ve tried so far, and Ive tried LOT! I have thick wavy hair, that’s prone to frizz, and in the past Ive found that solid shampoo can cause my hair to tangle and dry out badly. Not this Foamie bar!! It has left my hair soft, tangle free, with no frizz.The ribbon it comes on is brilliant. I hang it in my shower so not only is it far easier to use, (no struggling to remove it from a soap tin with wet hands) it also drip drys meaning that the shampoo will last longer.I found that it lathers really well, I just wet the bar well, rub it in my hands to get it nice and bubbly, and then rub the bubbles and the bar over my hair a little and it works a treat. It’s great not to be adding to the plastic pollution and this will be handy totake travelling. I actually purchased the Foamie travel soap dish and it works really well too.

I can’t get a lot of foam with this soap and this does not work for me on the dandruff front. I tried this when I could no longer get the head and shoulders soap bar but I will not try it again.

Works fine, it does foam more than other shampoo bars I have tried in the past. I have only used this a couple of times so I can't tell if it helps maintaining the color for more. Definitely don't recommend the conditioner though. If someone wants to use the shampoo that is fine, but should try something else for conditioner

The strong scent is not necessarily a bad thing. I like the smell but you need to be aware that it is very strong - I can smell it when I walk in the bathroom. The item itself I’m not necessarily convinced about as haven’t been using it that long. What I do know is that it takes a lot of it to actually feel like you’ve cleaned your hair. I’ll probably go through it quite quick.

To everyone who has not used shampoo bars before, it takes the scalp a few washes to get used to shampoo bars. After the first wash, my scalp felt as itchy as with conventional shampoos. After the second wash, the itch started to disappear and my scalp now feels better than it has done for a long time. The shampoo is easy to apply and rinse, hair combs through easily after washing (mine is shoulder-length), and it feels lovely. I wash my hair every other day and my hair is still fresh on day two. This soap bar is entirely free of any palm oils, which is the reason I switched to this product. I really recommend this bar.
