Best Shampoo Bar

I love this shampoo bar! It has a nice subtle lather with a fresh citrus scent. It leaves my hair clean and shiny. My sensitive scalp does just fine with it. My curls are defined and bouncy. Overall it’s a win for me.

works great

It works great on my hair, but my partner and I like to take really hot showers. The humidity tends to make it a little softer than I'd like.

Still absoultey worth getting; 4 stars

HiBAR

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Lloyd! The Curl shampoo is definitely more prone to become soft due to the low amount of surfactants in the bar compared to our other shampoos. It can help to keep the shower open to air it out from humidity, as well as storing on a shower lift, to prevent it from getting soft. We're so glad to hear you love the shampoo otherwise!

  • Q: Does it lather?

    A: Yes! Apply HiBAR shampoo directly to your very wet hair, massaging into your scalp and roots until you feel a good lather. (Remember, lathering is not really a measure of how a shampoo is working.) Rinse thoroughly.

  • Q: How long does one HiBAR last?

    A: It really depends on the length and thickness of your hair and how often you wash. We like to be conservative on this, rather than overpromise, so we say that a HiBAR shampoo bar lasts AT LEAST as long as a 24oz plastic bottle, and our conditioner bars last as long as a 32oz plastic bottle or more!

  • Q: Is HIBAR natural?

    Yes, we're using almost entirely plant-based ingredients. We're all about getting rid of nasty chemicals. Plus, we hope to one day be accepted into the most demanding natural stores and co-ops, and so we're formulating our products with that happy far-off day in mind.

  • Q: What does HiBAR smell like?

    We use a blend of essential oils and other plant based ingredients to give HiBAR a gentle citrus aroma. It's just enough to give your shower a refreshing feel, but not so strong that it's going to cling to your hair. NOTE: Because the fragrance is from essential oils, the aroma is strongest when the bar is first removed from the packaging, and will soften as the bar is left out in the open.

  • Q: Will HiBAR turn to mush in my shower?

    No, not if you store it correctly, out of standing water, and away from direct spray from the shower.

  • Q: How do I hold HiBAR?

    Cup the bottom of the bar in the palm of your hand, rest the long edge against the lengths of your fingers, then use your fingertips to guide the bevelled top through your hair.
