Why Try a Zero Waste Shampoo Bar?

Over 460 million metric tons of plastic are produced every year, according to the United Nations Environment Programme

That’s an overwhelming amount of trash. Sadly, a big chunk of it comes from single-use plastic bottles, including the ones cluttering your shower shelf.

Each HiBAR zero-waste shampoo bar replaces two full bottles of liquid shampoo without sacrificing shine and softness.

Make the Zero Waste Switch at HiBAR

You deserve hair care that works, looks cute in your shower, and doesn’t wreck the planet.

    No bottles. No cap disasters. No leaks. Just grab your solid shampoo bar, lather up, and rinse like the icon you are. Less mess, more hair magic.

  • Do I need a conditioner bar with a shampoo bar?

    If you want soft, detangled, shiny hair that bounces and does not break, then yes. Conditioner bars are the great alternative that your ends will adore.

  • Will the zero-waste shampoo bar melt in my shower?

    Not if you store it right. Use a bar lift, dish, or travel tin. Avoid the swamp zone (aka your tub floor), and your bar will outlast that situationship you definitely don’t want to talk about.
