Maintain Shampoo Bar

Rated 4.8 out of 5
Based on 282 reviews

The Maintain Shampoo Bar is formulated to cater to a broad range of hair types, but it is particularly effective for those with oily hair. This shampoo is an excellent choice for individuals who find themselves needing to wash their hair frequently due to excess oil production. The Maintain Shampoo Bar is designed to reduce oiliness while still maintaining the hair's natural health and vibrancy.

For people with hair that is oily at the roots but dry at the ends, the Maintain Shampoo Bar offers a balanced solution. It is recommended to focus the application of this shampoo primarily on the roots, especially if the washing frequency is around every four to five days. This targeted application helps to address the oiliness at the scalp while minimizing any potential drying effects on the ends of the hair.

Additionally, the Maintain Shampoo is a suitable option for those who use styling products like gels or oils regularly. Its gentle yet thorough cleaning properties effectively remove build-up without stripping the hair of its natural oils.

In summary, the Maintain Shampoo Bar is ideal for individuals with oily hair, those experiencing oiliness at the roots with dry ends, and anyone who frequently uses hair styling products. Its formulation helps to balance the scalp's oil production while ensuring the hair remains healthy and well-nourished.

  • 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.
