6 Solid Bars Poised To Give Their Liquid Counterparts A Run For Their Money
The Cult-Loved Shampoo Bar
We love this shampoo bar for two reasons: The heart shape bar is, like, v cute, and the formula is really excellent. It’s jam-packed with ultra-hydrating ingredients like coconut oil and murumuru butter that moisturise and clean your hair simultaneously. Plus, you’ll smell like you just walked out of a freakin’ garden. Yes, pls.
This One Smells Incredible
Like bar soap, shampoo bars have a reputation for being somewhat stripping to the hair, which is why we love this bar from Juicy Chemistry that’s specifically formulated to be hydrating and non-stripping. Packed with hibiscus, onion, and bhringraj, each bar is infused with natural ingredients to hydrate and strengthen your strands.
Curly Hair? We Do Care
Earth Rhythm offers an impressive array of 9 different shampoo bars, but if commercial-ready strands are your goal, make this your go-to. Using a host of nourishing ingredients such as biotin, niacinamide, and ginseng, it promises to leave you with super soft, silk-like locks.
For Luscious Locks
Not only is this bar 100 percent soap-free – which makes it the go-to shampoo for colour-treated hair – but it’s vegan, eco-friendly, and safe for all skin and hair types. It’s formulated with argan oil, red clay, and cocoa butter – so not only does it smell yummy, but it’s a treat for your hair too.
One With Raving Reviews
The shampoo bar will leave your hair extremely moisturised, conditioned, and soft, thanks to the hero ingredients: grapefruit oil, peppermint, and green clay. The formula is sulfate-free yet it still lathers super well. Glowing reviews say that the product also works oh-so-good for those with curly hair, leaving them soft, bouncy, and happy.
To Give Your Hair New Life
Ultra-gentle and sulfate-free, this newbie is specially made to keep your hair shiny and vibrant and won’t strip colour. Using ethically- and naturally-sourced ingredients, it’s also housed in a carton made from 100% recyclable materials. But we’d be remiss to not mention the scent, one of our fave of all time – it’s the best balance of sweet and floral and will have everyone asking what perfume you’re wearing.
