Hi! Sorry it took so long to respond, but you may of had the wrong formulation for your hair type. Please reach out to us and we would love to help you further! 


I tried both the shampoo and conditioner and I loved the shampoo, but it was hard for the conditioner to detangle my hair. 

I don't think the texture of a solid conditioner is good for my hair. 

Overall I liked the shape of solid bar. 

Would be great if it came with a small container or something that suctions onto the wall. Don't have the luxury of a dry ledge in my bathroom, so my bar was sitting in a bit of a puddle and it got soggy, making me feel like I was wasting product. 

This was my first plastic-free shampoo experience, so was admittedly inexperienced. Didn't really know how to get the shampoo to cover my whole scalp as opposed to just the ends of my hair, since it comes in a bar and can't lather with water as easily. It's really concentrated and as a result, dried out my hair and got it a bit tangly. I've heard I'm not using this right but that's all I got from the instructions.

Still love the mission, but am tempted to try some other low-plastic alternatives that are easier to use. 

HiBar has a great solid conditioner that requires a small amount during application to leave your hair feeling soft and smooth. It lasts quite a while and if the perfect way to cut out plastic packaging!

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)

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.

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". 

This shampoo bar lasts a long time and I like that the shape makes it easy to rub onto scalp

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

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! 

However, is it THE best shampoo for my hair in particular? No, but that's the hard thing with shampoos. Everyone's hair is different, so it's hard to find the best formula for you. It's definitely worth trying!

I love how long it lasts, I love the eco friendly factor with the low-waste packaging, and I love that it's TSA-friendly. It definitely works well enough for my values and my hair. My partner would prefer liquid, but overall doesn't mind it / he says it does the job.

Back before I started shaving my head I was using HiBAR as a shampoo replacement. It nailed it! I had tried other bar shampoos but their formulation always felt the best, lathered up really nicely and rinsed clean.

The bars get a bit mushy around the bottom if not stored properly after use, but that’s less of a product flaw and more user error.

GREAT product, great for your hair, great for the earth too. No plastic, no sulfates, no silicones, nothing bad at all. Made my hair feel soft and hydrated without feeling weighed down at all. The scents are heavenly and there’s even a fragrance free option if you prefer (although even my extremely sensitive nose could tolerate the smell, which is rare!). They say the products have a shelf life of 6 months but I’ve had the Volumize conditioner bar for over 2 years and its still going strong. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Incredible product and incredible mission. you are missing a real treat this is a different experience and totally upgraded

Customer service explained that it's easy to tell the shampoo and conditioner bars apart because of their texture, but marking "S" and "C" on each bar would be helpful.

It's hard to know exactly how to store it. I had to buy a bamboo soap dish to keep mine in, and I store it out of the shower so it won't melt. The travel pouch (which didn't exist when I purchased mine) is sold out.

I have two of the shampoo bars (one regular, one moisturizing) and one conditioner. I like the packaging and shape of the bars and they're easy to use. They provide enough lather for my fine, bob-length hair. 

Love the shape of these and they work perfectly!

The product is expensive. If you're looking for something that is fragrant or has an attractive smell, this might not be the product for you.  

I really wanted to love this product! I love that it's clean ingredients, I love that it's plastic free, and I love the mission.  It just doesn't work for my hair.  My hair felt greasy and heavy.

bars seem like the more intuitive choice for conditioner. they just need to be emollient enough to spread around the hair. 

shampooing with a bar that's been used down to the small bits can be frustrating to lather; at that stage it's easiest to dissolve with the dregs of a leftover liquid shampoo and mix in some water.

would definitely like to see these more available in stores.  

Would like to have scent options within each type of bar, or perhaps an unscented version. 

This conditioner bar is the best conditioner bar I've tried — it's incredibly moisturizing and lasts *forever.* Love reducing plastic waste without sacrificing any quality.

I have tried HiBar's shampoo and conditioner bars. I love the shampoo bar - it always leaves my hair feeling clean. I am still adjusting to using a conditioner bar as it doesn't give the same feeling when using it as a liquid conditioner does. However, my hair looks healthy after using both products. Love their plastic free packaging too. 

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!

I wanted to love these, but my hair ended up looking oily. I passed them along to a friend who loves them (shampoo + conditioner bars). I've found that to be true with many bar shampoos - what works for me might not work for a friend.
