HiBAR earns strong reviews for efficacy, with many praising its shampoo and conditioner bars for clean-feeling, soft, healthy hair and its deodorant for reliable odor control, yet the brand isn’t universally compatible. Reviewers highlight eco-friendly, plastic-free packaging and long-lasting bars, while noting drawbacks like occasional greasy or weighed-down results, modest lather, challenging detangling, scent limitations, and storage hassles for bar formats.

  • Having tried out some other solid shampoo bars, HiBar is not only eco friendly with minimal packaging, but it leaves my hair feeling clean, but with still some texture! It's like a light cleanse. I took me a sec to get the hang of holding it comfortably to apply, but otherwise it's really great. (I have fine hair and the volumizing shampoo was perfect)

  • Ever since I've tried the shampoo and conditioner bars, I haven't gone back! That was two years ago. My hair has never been healthier, non-oily, still hydrated, and holds my wave-pattern much better than shampoos/conditioners that weigh my hair down! Plus, they are sustainable and made of products that don't damage the earth, they last FOREVER and you always have travel-sized toiletries ready to go!

  • The best, the best, the best! After a (very small) learning curve on using a bar rather than liquid shampoo and conditioner, I will never go back to a bottle again! This is truly salon-quality shampoo and conditioner with the finest ingredients, and it makes my hair look incredible. No plastic! Eco-friendly!

  • I just started using it, but my hair has more volume and feels soft. I expected it to feel dry, but it doesn't.

  • As someone with damaged, dry, frizzy curly hair, I love HiBar. I have dealt with dry and unmanageable frizz all my life and its been a nightmare, but HiBar actually revived my hair to the point that I don't even use serums, gels, moisturizers, cremes, ANYTHING. I just wash my hair and let it air-dry and it comes out so good even my hairdresser asked me what I was doing. As someone who is a huge believer in sustainability, I love that its plastic-free. I used the orange colored shampoo and conditioner which I believe is called "Volumize".

    The biggest issue I have, is that it does not lather well at all. I take great care to try and ensure Im shampooing my entire head, but I often come out of the shower and when my hair dries, I find that there are big greasy patches in the back of my head. This doesn't happen with liquid shampoos and other brands of solid shampoo that I've tried. This product could easily be 5 stars if the lather was improved. And that point goes for both shampoo and conditioner, although my lies mostly with the shampoo.

  • I think it’s really nice that shampoo bars are challenging the plastic bottles in the shampoo market. Much more ecological. The design of the shampoo bars is also really nice!

    Feedback

    I easily mixed up which of the bars where shampoo and which one was conditioner, even if they are different colours. Maybe they could make this easier for the consumer somehow.

  • I love the sustainable packaging and quality of the products I've tried from HiBar. The website was super easy to order from and the products last much longer than a typical bottle of shampoo or conditioner, especially if you don't wash your hair every day.

    There are some tweaks I would make to the formula for my specific hair, but they still work for me.
