Leaves a great texture

Both Curl Shampoo and Conditioner leave my hair clean, soft and in good shape. So simple to use and lasts super long. Plus my scalp stays moisturized from one shampoo to the next.

Good shampoo

I like the lather and results. I'm Caucasian and have loose curls that tend to be dry and damage easily. This shampoo and conditioner delivers. I don't like the smell or the shape of the bar. Very awkward to hold/use. The fragrance goes away and I just have clean, nice hair.

HiBAR

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Shelli! We're happy to hear your curls loved the product and that they feel healthier after using this set. But, we're so sorry to hear you weren't satisfied with the scent or shape of the bars.

At first using a bar can feel awkward, but our recommended tips are to cup the bar in your palm, rest the long edge against your fingers, then use your fingertips to guide the beveled top through your hair. Otherwise, many customers find it easier to rub the wet bar between their hands instead to work up product, and apply with their hands instead.

For the fragrance, we went with a light, citrus blend of natural essential oils but we are sorry to hear it didn't sit right with your nose. We do have a fragrance-free Moisturize set that you may like to try! That one works well for dry and curly hair also. Please let us know if you have any questions!

I like

I have only washed my hair twice with the shampoo bar. It took me a couple minutes to get lather. Once I added more water to my hair it worked. So far I like it.

HiBAR

Jami, thanks for sharing your review! Yes, we recommend using lots of water to work up a nice lather and it can also help to run the bar under warm water to loosen it up a bit. You can also try working up product between hands and applying that way as well :) Please feel free to reach out if you ever have any questions!

  • 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 16oz bottle, and our conditioners last as long as two 16 oz bottles.

  • 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.
