Goodbye plastic, hello HiBAR.

Meet HiBAR’s plastic-free, soap-free solid shampoo bar. These concentrated formulas are a blend of gentle ingredients that deliver beautifully soft, silky and manageable hair.

The unique shape of our solid shampoo bar is designed to fit comfortably in your hand for easy use. But don’t be fooled by the compact size—each shampoo bar lasts as long as two big, bulky bottles of liquid shampoo.

Best of all, HiBAR is the first solid shampoo bar with formulas tailored for specific hair types. For textured hair, types 3 and 4, our Curl Shampoo Bar formula improves curl and wave health—with babassu butter and pracaxi butter to add definition and seal in moisture.

Usage of Hibar for curls

Not only is the shampoo good for the environment, it actually is wonderful on my hair. I have curly hair and it does wonders for my curls. Smooth and natural and I have been using this for a couple of months and I am just getting to the end. I only use Hibar now and no longer buy the plastic bottle shampoo.

They asked, we answered

  • 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.
