I am totally looking forward to seeing your comment on this one! It’s fascinating to me how something can just work like crap on one person but be a holey grail to the next!

So apparently there is such a thing as a “hair type” 😳 I had no idea and I don’t know what mine is... but my best guess is that I have a dry scalp and an average thickness of hair? My stylist told me I have thin hair but A LOT of it... I hope that helps, I am no expert 😂
This is the Plaine Shampoo I use if you want more reviews! bit.ly/34jiL7s
Can you do LOVE BEAUTY & PLANET's bar?
I believe she has included that brand before in a Greenwashing video, since the parent company is Unilever, which is responsable for a lot of our current plastic pollution as well as exploiting people and resources in other countries.
@@miriamquintanavargas1356 You are correct, she did. :) Now every time I see those products I cringe.
Shelbizleee which ones of these are fragrance free? Not as a smell but as an ingredient
Yea hair type is important homegirl. My is fine but I’ve got a lot of...
You should have said “without further ado let’s shampoo”
I thought the same!
😂
When comparing 2 bars, she did say "Head to Head!" :)
Why did I say that outloud to myself 🤦🏻♀️
You’re so right
Hi Shelby! Happy Monday! Thanks for reviewing our shampoo and conditioner bar in your zero waste shampoo video, it means a lot. It was really informative and I’m sure viewers have learnt a lot :)
Our sincere apologies for the confusion, all our shampoo bars are free of sodium lauryl sulfate, we use sodium coco sulfate, not saponified coconut oil which is essentially soap, our bars are soap-free and are pH balanced. Bars which are soap-free don’t leave a waxy soap residue through the hair, which means for an easy washout and no need for an ACV rinse, woohoo!
If you wanted to dig into our ingredients more, we have the list of ingredients on all our products and if you click on an ingredient, a nifty wee pop up will appear which will give you a rundown of the ingredient :)
And fret not, Shelby! We ship our products from our lab/warehouse to our customers and to our distributors plastic-free. Also, we are certified climate-friendly and working towards carbon positive (where they offset 120% of our emissions), so our clever little bars are carbon neutral.
Hope this all helps!
Hope you enjoy Heali Kiwi and Wonderbar
Have a wonderful week,
Jen
Honestly, I might buy your shampoo bar simply because you responded to this video. Aside from being earth friendly, this kind of customer service is why I LOVE shopping ethically and sustainably. ❤
I love Ethique
I just bought my first shampoo and conditioner bars ever from Ethique. I have a sensitive scalp (I'm prone to breakouts and sores on my scalp) and frizzy, thick but fine hair (the individual strands aren't coarse but I have a ton of hair), so I use Heali Kiwi and The Guardian. I used them for the first time yesterday and I'm fully obsessed. My hair feels amazing and so light, and it was actually way easier to put them in my hair and rinse them out than I expected. I love that the bars are soap-free, because from what I've read, a lot of bars have soap and end up leaving hair waxy if not properly washed out. This means that with Ethique, I feel like I'm still conserving water. Anyway, I really love these bars. Everyone's hair reacts differently to different natural products because for a lot of us, our hair isn't used to not having harsh chemicals in it, but I really think Ethique is a great place to start!
@@allisonkerkhoff4833 Omg I have the same issue!! Thanks for sharing!
Allison Kerkhoff no way I just ordered the Heali Kiwi Bar and the Guardian Bar too! I have a dry scalp and thickish/fizzy hair! I hope it goes well!
If your fiance is willing, I'd love to hear if she likes any of these shampoo bars. I'm sure a lot of women with kinky curly hair would like to know if the bars work on that hair type
erjanica25 yes!
I have type 3B-3C hair. Shampoo bars aren’t a struggle for me, but conditioner is hard to find, and are essential. I love all of basins bars. My favorite for my hair is the basin white and the island silk. The one thing about ordering online from basin is you have to ask for your order to be plastic free in the shipping instructions. If you buy from the store you can reuse the containers you got there for things like bath salts, bath bombs, and bars
that is a great idea!
I would love for her to do a black african soap version of this and maybe even use naptural85 version of African black soap.
Not kinky, but I have v curly hair and have found that ethique's frizz wrangler shampoo and guardian conditioner are the best shampoo/conditioning bars I've tried! (Still need some type of leave in conditioner/oil after shower, but my hair doesn't feel stripped after, just clean)
Former Lush employee here. If you have super dry hair, which you mentioned, that's why all the shampoo bars are feeling the same to you. Someone with more normal to oily hair is going to notice the difference between the bars. I would only recommend the Avocado Co-Wash or Trichomania for drier hair (as a solid option). I have a few favorites in shampoo bars, and there are others that I cannot use at all because it doesn't work for my hair type. Also, a note on the palm oil. Many companies who claim to be palm free, are not actually palm free. They can state they are palm free if they don't have the direct ingredient. However, unless they are making their surfactant in house, they cannot guarantee they have no palm oil. Which is why Lush says they can't guarantee they have no palm oil. They used to say they were palm free, but upon testing, they learned some of the ingredients had traces of palm. They are working on making their own surfactant, but it's a journey, but when I left, they were in the process of finding decent formulas for it. Also, "saponified coconut" is just fancy words for sulfates. Lush's SLS is also coconut based, but they just say it straight because if you have an allergy/reaction to sulfates, you need to know that it's in there.
Hi Maureen are you a former lush formulator? I wanted to get in touch with you…
Thanks for addressing that SLS isn’t inherently bad and isn’t an issue for many people. I think it’s important to remember that companies will encourage and benefit from the fear of (generally) harmless ingredients because it gives them to opportunity to create and market new products that otherwise may not sell as well.
I have really sensitive scalp, regular shampoo makes it so itchy and dry that eventually it will bleed. I thought the problem was SLS since I can't tolerate it on my toothpaste either. I started to use lushes bars around 3 years ago and they have completely healed my scalp. My mom has the same scalp type and she also uses only lush barshampoos nowdays. I believe it is a tiny portion of people who truly benefit dropping SLS from their haircare.
@@mandi3891 I'm so glad you found a solution to your problem, it sounds so uncomfortable. Some people have certain sensitivities and just need special products to live a normal life, and I'm glad there are companies that are willing to make them. I'm old and when I was young, good luck finding anything like what we have these days! It was impossible. I'm happy to see things changing.
sls makes me itch really bad -to the point you would think that I have lice or really bad dry skin. While I agree there shouldn't be fear mongering I would hope though that people do pay attention to whats going onto their heads
Ash H the biggest concern with sls is that it is palm oil derived...
I have always been sensitive to SLS - gives me canker sores when I use any toothpaste with it for some reason, even just once. I really do appreciate the amount of products that have taken sulfates out. My only option at the grocery store used to be toms, which ironically last I checked actually did have SLS in it again once they were bought out by Colgate, while now I have many options!
I love that you didn't bash Lush as you could so easily have done in this video. I also appreciate you're view and I think that you make a good point. They lead the way in starting the conversation about consciously consuming and as someone who feels like their eco journey started with Lush it now makes a lot more sense. They're a high street retailer who have those initial conversations with consumers who would otherwise be going from H&M to Topshop to Primark and Superdrug during their shopping, they stop off at Lush and pick up something plastic free. It's not perfect but it's a start and right now in our current climate it can feel so overwhelming it's hard to know where to start being green, and Lush gives you an opportunity to change something without going out of your way like unfortunately a lot of other eco brands right now (as in they're online and often you have to research a little to find them and also double check they're not greenwashing).
I totally agree! I think a big problem in the eco-friendly community is an all or nothing mentality that makes it hard for new folks to get into things. I'm looking to branch out from my lush bars now, but I never would have switched to solid products if I couldn't have bought them in stores, and I even got the woman at lush to give me a sample of the conditioner bar before I bought one. Those things lead me to make a switch I probably still wouldn't have made if I had to gamble with scent AND performance with online shopping. (plus I hate online shopping)
Totally agree! I just can’t stand with the pressure to become 100% ecologically perfect
this channel is making my sustainability journey so easy. i live with hoarders, and my bathroom used to be where they kept all their extras, so im still using that up. but im on the last bottle of shampoo now, and now i dont even have to research a new one lol. im thinking about just making all the switches and donating the rest of the unopened bottles of soap and stuff tho, thats probably better.. dont know why I'm just thinking of that
Yes! Please donate anything you won't use or the people you live with won't use (to a shelter, other friends, relatives, coworkers) rather than just throwing it away.
Or you could just switch your shampoo but have this last bottle as an extra ...and if you don't find right the way something you like, you can keep using it. Or to use in those days you miss regular shampoo.
My partner's ex left full bottles of shampoo before I moved in and I took them to a local women's shelter (; It felt good to get rid of it and not waste
@@Keebzoo That is great because the average person would be ready to trash anything an ex had, not caring whether if not it could be used elsewhere.
@@kaylawaters2691 oh for sure, I would never throw away a perfectly good product. I live in a low income area so it just feels immoral to me tbh
I love that ethique has sampler sets. It's great to try them out for a while before getting the much larger bar. The samplers themselves last a very long time.
Julie Nance yes! Just got a sampler about a month and a half ago and I’m still working on my first bar (heali kiwi) and maybe not even halfway through the guardian conditioner and I’m already sold on both of them tbh. I swore to myself I wouldn’t blind buy another shampoo bar after the lush ones I got bc they just didn’t work with my hair type at alllllll so I loved that I could get a sample set.
I ordered a sampler once and the delivery service left it on the floor in the post office lobby after business hours (we don't have street delivery, only have PO boxes) and considered that a successful delivery, needless to say it had gone walkabout by the time i was able to get to the post office in the morning. 🙁 I was so disgusted by the whole situation that I just kind of gave up on it, maybe I'll give it another go. 🤞 my fingers I actually receive it.
Right?! It's so weird how long those sample bars can last because sometimes I feel like I use a sample bar in the amount of time that it takes me to use a regular bottle of shampoo!
I have a tip I thought I’d share for people who experience scalp irritation, and might feel like they can’t find a zero waste shampoo that is designed for that!
Prior to switching low waste, when my scalp would get irritated the ONLY shampoo I found that helped was Head and Shoulders, STRICTLY the Tea Tree oil formula. None of the other ones made a difference. Most likely because Tea Tree Oil is naturally antibacterial, and is known for being soothing for a lot of general skin irritations.
Originally I tried so hard to find a shampoo bar with tea tree oil in it. Unfortunately, the only ones that did, didn’t work for me. Left my hair feeling tacky. I have found that lush bars seem to be the only ones that don’t leave that tacky feel on my hair.
Good news, choose your favorite shampoo bar formula and then you can customize it for your scalp! I bought 100% Tea Tree oil from Trader Joe’s. I got a small glass essential oil dropper bottle and poured my Tea Tree into it. I leave it in my shower, so when I wash my hair I combine it with my shampoo. I do this by lathering my bar up in my hands first, then add a couple drops of the tea tree into my hand. I then rub my hands together vigorously to combine it with the shampoo and then apply to my scalp and scrub as usual. It leaves my scalp feeling so soothed! And over time it’s proving to work the same way as the head and shoulders tea tree formula, clearing up my irritation. I obviously can’t guarantee this will work for everyone but it’s helped me enough to want to share!
Side benefit, if you have kiddos in school! It’s a known tip that Tea Tree scent being on your kids hair can be a deterrent to head lice!
Ashley Lawrence thanks for this!! I don’t know why I never thought of this. I have so much tea tree
Sheba Moos you’re welcome!!! I hope it works for you like it has for me! It’s been a life saver. I was trying so hard to not cave and go back to my head and shoulders and my scalp just kept getting worse without it. Idk what took me so long to think of doing this but I finally exhausted all my options when this popped in my head 😂😂😂
Ashley Lawrence fingers crossed!
I do this as well! I have some bulk liquid shampoo and so put some in my hand and then a couple of drops of tea tree. Definitely helps me with irritation!
Always be careful though because tea tree oil isn’t safe for pets!
Shelby, I got my first bar shampoo, it's a local store, I'm from Brazil, mas I'm excited to use. Thank you for encoraging me.
Estou procurando por uma marca. Saberia indicar?
@@LucasTbooker eu usei da B.O.B e da RelaxCosmetics. Pro meu cabelo funcionou melhor o shampoo da relax, e da B.O.B o condicionar foi legal, mas o shampoo foi muito agressivo.
Mana 😍
Que bacana que se encontra em Brasil ❤️🇧🇷
@@kitsunesspblm17 eu vi muita propaganda da B. O. B mas eu tenho alopecia então tenho muitos problemas com shampoos. Esse da relax é agressivo? Existe algum que seja bem suave?
Thank you so much for taking the time to research all these products! I find myself coming to your channel A LOT before making a new purchase as I’m trying to slowly finish my old products and transition into a more green home. 💚
I have been loving Plaine Products! The ingredients are clean, my hair is clean, I feel like my whole life is clean. Not to mention, just my first order of shampoo and conditioner has lasted me three months so far!
YESS!! I’ve been waiting for this video! I remember you mentioning that you’ve been working on it. ITS FINALY HERE! Thank you so much ❤️🥰🧼💦
Love seeing these review type vids! Sometimes, even if I do lots of research, I still just wanna know what other peoples' opinions are.
Have you considered consolidating this info into a graphic? It would super helpful so in the future, if someone wanted to reference it again, it's easy-peasy!
I love how you show people ways that they can make their own routine more sustainable! so helpful!
Thanks for this info on Shampoo Bars! I can now finally make a decision based on your awesome reviews!
Thank you for sharing this guide! I am currently using Lush's honey shampoo bar and I really like it. I find that my hair is super soft and has improved - I also love the smell of it!
Hey Shelby, there's a difference between soap shampoo bars and soap free shampoo bars, Ethique is briefly mentioning it in their comment below. Some of the shampoo bars that you're mentioning (Meow Meow Tweet, Bestowed Essentials, JR Ligett's) contain soap which means they're made by using Sodium Hydroxide. This means that the pH level of the final bar is between 9-10 and thus makes the bar alkaline. However, the natural pH value of our skin is acidic which is around 4.5 to 5.5 so that means that all shampoo bars that contain soap in them are quite irritating for the scalp and in my opinion not the best to use. You can see this by checking the ingredients list and usually it mentions "saponified", "sodium hydroxide" or when it has an -ate at the end of an oil ingredient (e.g. "Sodium Olivate"). Hope this helped :)
Hi!! you seem an expert hhahaha which shampoo bar wuld you suggest? i don't know what to buy D:
@@francescadv213 I think the ones from Ethique are great or I can also recommend the 2in1 bars from Zero Waste Path :)
@@mirjamweinhardt4374 thank you very much 😍🙏🏻
Shelby is not going to buy another shampoo bar in a long time. 😂
I use HiBar and love them! I get my hands damp and then lather up the actual bar, but some in my hair and then start rubbing the actual bar on my hair, on top and under. I find it leaves my hair still feeling moisturized and also it doesn't get greasy as quickly as my hair normally would
Ethique is entirely plant based and is SLS free, they mention they use plant based options to replace them like the coconut “sulfate”.
I'm so excited you give glowing reviews to Ethique! I just discovered them today, and wanted to take the plunge with bar shampoo (didn't realize they were at Target either)! Thank you for your hard work :D
Really glad you made this video! I bought a lush shampoo recently because I want to try switching to zero-waste shampoo and I was pretty disappointed with how dry the shampoo bar made my hair feel, especially because this bar was supposed to be pretty nourishing. So it's great to see that there's other alternatives that may be more suitable!
Thank you so much for your honest review!!! I needed this so much hahaha! Right now I am refilling my shampoo at my local bulk store (I AM SO SO LUCKY!), but this is great for people who might not have that available for them.
Happy you covered Plaine’s shampoo! Shampoo and conditioning bars have never worked for me. They never make my hair feel clean or moisturized and typically make my waves fall really flat. Been waiting to finish up my current shampoo to switch to Plaine ❤️
Personal care is the one area I struggle to replace plastic with.
Would you ever consider reviewing the Clinique facial wash bar? I’ve been considering switching and have heard amazing things! 💕
Yay this is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you for making this video ❤
Yas!!! Thank you Shelbi!!! I've been looking for a shampoo bar for weeks now and it's sooo hard to find one that meet my criteria
i have a greasy scalp, dry ends and hard water. i've been loving the bar.none conditioner bar and the cobalt shampoo bar from the zero waste store
thank you!!! i have greasy hair too and have been using lush but i havent been feeling it much.
Same here! Oily scalp, dry ends, hard water. Bar None and HiBar both worked best for that
I have to try those out as I have the same hair and water as you lol.
i have thin/fine straight hair if that helps everyone ❤
we have the exact same hair needs based on this so I'm definitely going to try the bar none conditioner! thanks!!
My favorite brand is Chagrin Valley Soap & Salve. The Cafe Moreno is soooooo good. Plus they're relatively affordable. For instance their sample size bars, which are the standard size from Lush, are only $3! They have an informational blog too which are helpful especially if you're new to this type of product.
Thank you so much for this! You answered so many other questions I had aside from just which bar to try. I’m going to start with your top pick 😀
Loved this vid. Very well researched and instructive. Cannot wait to see more videos in this series xx
I love my ethiques shampoo bar! I have scalp irritation issues, and ethique is the only brand I’ve found that has a shampoo bar for problem scalps that actually works (the heali kiwi). I also have hard water and it still lathers and doesn’t leave a residue like some shampoo bars do in hard water.
you are blessed. I tried the Ethnique sample pack and nothing worked in all possible combinations :/
Same here! Absolutely love the Heali Kiwi bar.
Try Auromere with neem. I have a scalp condition and the neem helps to calm it. There are many places that carry it on line. I can frequently pick it up at TJMaxx, believe it or not.
This is great to know since I was researching about ethique for my dry scalp issue but skeptical since nothing seen to work and didn't want to spend $15.99 if it's not going to work on my hair. 😩
What is hard water? 😊
I use HiBar and I love it! It took a minute to get use to. Once you break in the bar (like 2-3 washes) it works very easily and effortlessly for me and my hair type! I have very fine/thin hair, thin enough that I never use a normal thickness hair tie. But I also condition my hair everyday or every time I shower. I used to have to wash my hair daily because it would be so greasy and I was very self conscious, but HiBar makes it so I can wash it every other day! It’s all about preference and hair type! Thanks for making this video!!!
Tiffany Thalacker scrolled 3 min to find a hibar review. I got a conditioner bar last week so I wanted a second opinion. I felt like they were on the pricier, side price per oz, but also nice it was in a local store. I don’t know enough to give a review other than that. I also wonder if you could melt or squish it down into a hockey puck shape if one had Shelby’s issue
I bought the sample kit from Ethique and I love the frizz wrangler shampoo and the wonderbar conditioner. I have fine wavy hair and I will definitely be repurchasing! I was very excited when you said they’re being sold at Target now.... yes!
Just wanted to say that as soon as I saw this video pop up as the next one to watch I was like "ooooo yyyaaayy this is what I wanted!!!!" Surching through all your videos to find the ones I need to see vs the ones I'd just like to see is really hard cuz theres so many so I'm happy to finally find this!!!
I love ethique. The one recommended to me at Lush made my scalp itch or feel off after washing. None are also considered safe for color treated hair but all of ethiques are. And their packaging including the sticker is compostable. And Ethique bars are free from SLS
I've done a similar test here in Germany and surprisingly enough the drugstores own brand for 2.95 is just as good as Lush shampoo bars. So yeah I've found my goldilocks bar.
Really, I have never seen that one. Where did you get it?
Another german fellow here. Wo hast du die denn gefunden? Liebe Grüße aus dem Norden :)
@@birgit8310 Ich wette die dm-Eigenmarke (balea) ist gemeint. Kostet auf jeden Fall 2.95, ich habs leider noch nicht ausprobiert 😉 liegt aber hier.
Edit: Ich hab sie ausprobiert und finde sie super. Schäumt richtig gut, man braucht daher wirklich nicht viel, riecht gut aber nicht zu stark.
I can highly recommend Duschbrocken, so far the best ones I've tried (lather and not-squeaky feeling wise), also Alverde has a great one that you can get at DM and Nature Box recently came out with some, saw them at Rossmann and DM but haven't tried them yet, can't recommend Foamie though, it makes my scalp itch and flattens my hair, also doesn't really lather well (might be something for people with straight hair though) :D Hope this helps some of you fellow Germans ! P.S. I also noticed price tags for Balea shampoo bars, but so far they've always been sold out .
@@birgit8310 die von balea, die mit dem Rosenduft funktioniert super
I'm so glad you talked about how sulfates are only bad for someone if they have a sensitive scalp. There was a lot of false info out there (still is) that all sulfates are bad and they're bad for everyone, but this isn't true. If people want more information, look at actual medical research articles, *not* anyone else. Sulfates are more cleansing so I wouldn't recommend a shampoo with sulphates if you have a sensitive scalp, if you have a dry scalp, or have 3C or more coily hair because those hair types tend to be hella dry and sulfates are pretty cleansing. They are great for those of us with oily hair (I tried no-poo for 2 months and I've tried other "scalp resets" and some of us just have really oily hair, no matter how little we wash it). Also important to note that ingredients play a big part in how it will perform on the hair. Lavender, sea salt, juniper berry, citrus, papaya, pineapple, mango and kiwi are SUPER cleaning. Butters (cocoa, shea), honey, and glycerin are going to moisturize either bc they're an oil, or a humectant. The last two in that list are humectants, so it'll draw moisture to the hair and won't feel as oily. However, if you live in a cold climate where winters are very dry, or a very desert-like place this could end up making your hair drier (since there is no moisture in the air, it will draw dryness into your hair, if that makes sense) so you would need to use a conditioner (so it draws the moisture from the conditioner into your hair). The closer any of the mentioned ingredients is to the top of the list, the more likely it is to have the effect mentioned. So just because you like the smell of something, doesn't mean it's the best thing for your hair type. I used to be a LUSH product trainer so I like to share all of this, regardless of the brand you buy from, because the information still remains factual and important to know.
julied945 I think it might depend on whether those butters and oils are saponified. Thanks for all that info ☺️
THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! Seriously, I decided to make the switch to shampoo/conditioner bars and searched a variety of products looking at reviews and wasn't too happy with my search. It didn't seem like there were too many good shampoo bars.
I tried ALL my local soapmaker shampoo bars with no luck. I finally broke down and ordered some from Royalty Soaps, they sell out super fast, and I managed to snag 3 of 4 they offer. I've only tried the sea green one so far and love it, but I only wash my hair once a week so I have shampoo for at least a year. Shampoo bars are like menstrual cups, you need to try a few before you find the perfect one.
but they sadly use palm oil :( even if its rspo i still dont trust it
Shelby, Ethique is also available on Amazon! It was the “Amazon’s Choice” when I searched for curly hair shampoo bar! ☺️ I just ran out of my regular conditioner and got a conditioner bar from them, but I think I got the Wonderbar for normal to oily hair? We’ll see how it turns out, excited their brand was a top choice though!
This video came at such a good time!
I recently watched your minimalist haircare routine video because I'm part of The Long Hair Community forums and decided to go long again.
Since you have beautiful hair and care about the environment you were the perfect person to turn to!
I'm extremely interested in trying shampoo bars, but I'm gonna wait until we go through the rest of the shampoo we have :P
Thank you for this!!! I have been iffy about Ethique but I am definitely going to get it now. I was so surprised it is sold at Target now!!! 🏃♀️🏃♀️
I agree with your Meow Meow Tweet review (smells soooo good though). My favorite shampoo bars are from Unwrapped Life (Canadian company but I'm from Canada).
Honestly never knew there was such a thing as a shampoo bar! My liquid shampoo is almost gone so now I wanna try one of these 😁
I just want to commend you on a job well done on this video. First time tuning in. Video was thorough but to the point. Not filled with endless filler & blabbing on about yourself etc.. learning to be more eco-friendly is a time-consuming and overwhelming journey as it is, and needlessly long videos only make it harder to fit into a busy lifestyle. So, thank you!!! 😅
This video couldn't have come at a better time as I finally realized that my shampoo is most likely causing rashes on my face (because of the synthetic ingredients). Thanks for all of the info and research, Shelbi!! Planning to try some of these very soon.
I absolutely love the HIbar shampoo bar. I find it lathers extremely well and haven't had the same experience. I love the shape and find it every easy to use. I am not a big fan of the conditioner bar though. I use Plaine conditioner.
Ethique's Damage Control or Frizz Wrangler work great on my hair. I have long, thick, wavy hair and these ones make my hair feel great. I also like Ethique's Guardian conditioner. I have tried other shampoo and conditioner bars but the ones I mentioned are my faves.
Thanks for the great run down! I have a hair type where washing it more often is better for it - thought I'd let you know since in your video you mentioned that using less is better (it isn't for some of us) and hair types in the comments :)
Just got the hibar moisture set and am looking forward to seeing its compatibility with my hair!
Love hearing your thoughts! I do actually love using Hi Bar and been for about 1.5 years, I love the shape!
I switched to ethique recently and have been loving their hair bars. Their conditioning bar called "The Guardian" is amazing! Best conditioner I have ever used. I am a very long haired hair care junkie and I am hooked.
The Guardian conditioner is the only one I found that really works on my hair. I've tried their Wonderbar conditioner and I really had to work at it to get my hair covered. I have long, thick hair though and I know that it makes it a little more difficult.
@@natashagroves2732 I also have long and fairly thick hair and the Guardian has been great! I find I can even use it on my roots without them getting flat or greasy. And the bar is lasting a while even though I use it on all my hair and really lay it on. It's truly amazing
Hi Dima! So happy you're loving The Guardian. Thanks a bunch for your love! 💚🌏 Jen
Hi @@natashagroves2732 ! Woohoo! So stoked you're loving The Guardian. 💚🌏 Jen
Ethique I just ordered the sample hair pack! I can’t wait to try them all!!! It sounds like I will enjoy The Guardian. We’re going on a cruise the beginning of February, so the sample pack size will be perfect for traveling! I have only tried JR Liggetts shampoo bar so far (which we really like), and I needed to try a conditioner bar. Now I will get to sample the shampoo as well and have something to compare. 💕
ethique will always be my favorite 🙌🏼
i’ve tried almost all of them and they are all amazing
Same!
Thank you so much for this video, I can only imagine how long this took you to create/review/shoot/edit you are AMAZING. Love you so much
You are so great, thank you for putting out these types of videos. I'm trying to become more and more sustainable but it can be difficult.
I absolutely LOVE ethique. I use the kiwi one and dont need conditioner unless I dont brush my hair for awhile. Highly recommend.
Hi Shelbi! We are so late to the RUclips commenting game, but we have always LOVED your videos! So thankful for your amazing review and for emphasizing that not everyone NEEDS a shampoo and conditioner. We're all about minimizing our routines where we can which is why we love your eco-minimalism mission 🌎
And thank you so much for offsetting your carbon emissions! We're so excited that we now partner with We Are Neutral to offset all the carbon emissions from our shipping. Thank you for being here with us as we continue on our journey towards progress 💙
Thanks for the in-depth review of these! I actually haven't tried any of these brands. I use Unwrapped Life's Shampoo and Conditioner and I'm quite fond of them, but the shampoo does leave your hair feeling quite clean. You would definitely need a conditioner afterward (and I actually use their conditioner as a leave-in product, too.)
I'm blown away by the endless amount of low waste haircare options on the market now!
I just stumbled upon your channel, and I am LOVING it! Thank you so much for your contribution to the world :)
Ethique Frizz Wrangler for me
At winco theres a soap bar with no packaging just a tiny sticker so you can pay for it. I love it I get the alovera + oats
SwiftStar Games I had no idea I will have to look for it next time I’m there!
Those soap bars are for your body.. not your hair lol
Pretty new to the zero waste life and I’m super glad I found this video before making a purchase! Thanks for reviewing these!❤️
Yas! Ethique is my favorite! It has significantly cut down on my hair washes and my dandruff.
Thank you so much for this vid! I've been super curious about these bars but with curly bleached hair I get scared to try new brands as my hair freaks out!
Here for this content! I use humankind right now but my hair requires an oil (for conditioner) at the tips after. I have waist length wavy thick hair so snarling is always a problem.
I always come to you first for info when considering adding new zero waste products to my life. Thank you for your incredibly educational platform!
Thank you for being so thorough in your videos. Very helpful. And you don’t lecture, much appreciated :)
As a curly girl, I don't shampoo at all. Only conditioner and only once a week. I occasionally use a co-wash, and I really liked the avocado one from lush. I wish there were more options for zero waste styling products, like leave-in conditioner, styling cream and gel. There's some in recyclable containers at lush, but they're pricey. Love your videos!
I feel like I’m one of the few people that prefers sulfates (not sls, but other types) in my shampoos. Ethique and some brands that use sodium-coco sulfate work really well for me
I use the Lush 'jumping juniper' shampoo bar and have been doing for well over a year now and I LOVE IT, it's a bit pricier, but it lasts so much longer than a bottle would and i love how soft and clean it makes my hair feel!
Hey! This is such a fun, informative video. Thanks. I got a lush shampoo bar for Christmas so I'm interested in learning about these.
I love the ethique volumizing shampoo bar, has some salt in it so I wouldn't have to use like a salt spray after washing, smells great, lasts a long time. (thin, straight, dry hair)
Do you use a conditioner as well? Do you wash your hair everyday? I'm looking for a volumizing shampoo bar and also have fine, dry hair.
I really liked the Bar None, but I could only get it from Urban Outfitters and it came wrapped in like 80 layers of plastic and cardboard so I stopped buying it. Thank you for showing some other options out there!
I use the Plain Products conditioner and I love it. It looks like it would feel too watery, but it leaves my thick wavy hair feeling nicely hydrated.
I have been using the ethique heali kiwi and it is my favorite shampoo bar that I have used so far. I didn't know they have it at Target now. Awesome. You have a lot of hair so I think that makes you very well qualified to review shampoo.
this was a great video, Shelbi, thank you !!~ :)
I have dry, wavy, color treated hair with an extremely dry scalp, and my favorite shampoo bars are from maple hills naturals. They are all the same formula, but come in a bunch of different natural scents, and really moisturize my hair, while still cleansing, and are much mire gentle on my hair then most other shampoos. I use it before i bleach my hair every 3 months, and then once more each month, along with anytime i use styling products in my hair( usually about 6 times a year) , and my hair feels and looks amazing.
where do you get it ? i have henna dyed hair thats a 2a-b
Thank you for doing this video! I have been using Bar None and noticed it doesn't really lather and you have to really work it to get it out of your hair. I thought that's how all shampoo bars must be, but now that I'm educated I'm excited to try a different brand.
Ok, I almost purchased some ethique awhile back ago and wasn't sure bc.....Amazon can be scary! So I thought of purchasing some from Etsy, but you have me pretty solidly convinced I need to try it now! Also I paused your video to take all there quizzes haha!
I have psoriasis on my scalp, and the hemp and tea tree bar from JR Liggets keeps it under control the most. I wash once a week and follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse because it is pretty drying, but I love the way it makes my hair feel. I do have to order it online because lots of these things aren’t available in WV so I’m excited to see if we have the ethique bar at target to try and cut down on shipping emissions
Yes!! I've been wanting to get zero waste shampoo but was worried that it wasn't going to work out for me and that I'd end up wasting it. Thank you so much for the video!
If you have a lush store near you, you can walk in and ask for a shampoo bar sample.
@@lilascharmante2712 thanks! I didn't think about that!
I just ordered the Bestowed Essentials shampoo bar. I was going to order the Ethique Sweet & Spicy for volume and bounce, but I didn't like the ingredient list. Don't know about the other Ethique shampoo bars, but you might want to re-evaluate all of them before making a blanket recommendation. Thanks for doing this video. I'm flying over the holidays and knew I needed to get another shampoo bar, but I didn't much care for my last one. Besides, I love supporting small women-owned businesses!
This was so helpful and exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU
I loveeee hi-bar. Once I found my hair type they started being amazing to use.
I was thinking about getting "plain" for my little sister. I use a bar personally but she likes a bottle. She's always concerned about her shampoo since she dyes her hair.
I've used ethique, they have a sampler pack I bought. I like them, but my favorite is a bar from a veeeery local shop.
Thank you for doing this video, so people can consider what to get before jumping onto it!
Hey Shelbi!!! Would you consider doing a video on sugars and sugar replacements (particularly agave and the impact of agave's newfound popularity on agave bats). I also noticed in another video that Tippy was outside. Will you do a video about the impact of housecats on wildlife.
I think it's fantastic that you shed a light about what we do in our homes and not testing on animals, but not about the impact our actions have on animals.
I'd also LOVE to see you interview/go get hands on with a beekeeper since while I fully approve of a vegan diet, but bees are so beneficial and beekeepers take such good care of their bees. It doesn't hurt bees to harvest their honey if they have a good, local keeper.
I love that your shed light on so many topics, but (of course) there are always more things we can do and be educated about!
Oh! Also mica in makeup and any possible alternatives.
Bar None is by far the best I've ever tried and is the best for curly hair
I use Lush products for my face (Dark Angels), and shampoo bars (I have one for oily hair). I find that the products I use work great and last a really long time. The only downside is that because I take so long to use my products, by the time I go to re-purchase them, they stopped making them and I have to pick new ones.
Ethique also has a sample pack. It really helped me figure out which one I liked best and worked for my hair type. My first and favorite brand I've been using!
I love the ethique wonderbar! I have dry scalp and it doesnt irritate it, but it hasnt eliminated it. I also use the conditioner bar and love them both. I use the shave bar and just got their kids shampoo and detangler conditioner for my girls and my 11 year old says it's easy for her to use. I wash my 4 and 8 year olds hair. So glad to see that Ethique is on your favorites!
the new lush bar " angel hair" is perfect for me. it's sls free, and doesnt strip my hair or scalp
Ah I just realized I have that one. It has sodium coco sulfate? Maybe something they're hoping to swap SLS with in the future?
@@Shelbizleee They added some new bars just this fall that use sodium coco sulfate, but the preexisting ones still have SLS. The SCS ones are: Angel Hair, Flyaway Hair, and Coconut Rice Cake
@@Shelbizleee Oops, I guess at least Angel Hair came out maybe a year ago? Regardless, they are newer
do you have wavy hair ? I wanted to try that one because sls makes me itch like mad .
@@ah5721 wavy/curly! i switched because i was tired of my scalp being so itchy and dry. this new formula and cocoa butter is amazing
Hey Shelbi, I'm just curious about your thoughts on using the environmental working group guides u have talked about. I have been finding products on there that I hope are a better option (dishwasher tabs, etc) Anyways, according to them, the ethique shampoo bar is ranked at a 3. Is that "good enough" for you? I really want to find the best shampoo bar for myself and for the planet.
Thank you s much for doing this video, I would have no idea where to even begin!
This is SO helpful! I have tried three bars and they all left my hair greasy and didn't lather well. I'm excited to try some of these!
I just bought an ethique bar in the sale at Holland and barrat (uk based people), I’m excited to try it now!
I LOVE HiBAR! It’s the best shampoo bar I’ve tried!
me too!
Strolling Through Life I’ve been considering trying them after I run out of liquid shampoo that I already bought a while ago, but I am waiting until hibar comes out with a fragrance free line which they claim is coming in the next couple months. I have a sensitive scalp and they use citrus oils in all of their current products which can be very sensitizing
禄Abby Oh nice! I didn’t know they were coming out with a fragrance free line. That’s great!
Woo love that ethique was up there cause they're from NZ where I am so they don't have to ship far. I use the pinkalicous or sweet and spicy for shampoo, either of their conditioning bars, and their top to toe for a shaving bar! Their vanilla and orange body wash bar is delicious too!
This video got me to finally try the ethique variety pack shampoo and conditioner bars. And I love it!!!! I’m converted! Thanks so much for this video!
Yay, Jessica! So happy to hear that you're loving the Hair Sampler! Did you find the perfect combo? Hope you're well and safe ❤️ Jen
