Solid Shampoo Bar (Sweet & Spicy) - 110g

I’ve been an SLS free liquid shampoo gal for some time.. which took an age to find the right one that didn’t leave my hair lank. But I began getting a dry scalp through autoimmune disease and menopause not helping. Nothing worked ! A shop bought GEL shampoo helped for a while then my scalp reverted to being a flaky itchy mess again (not dandruff) My hair being naturally blonde with natural white highlights, fine with medium texture. Oily roots and dry ends. Challenge was on! I don’t know how many shampoos bars I tried.. with most leaving my hair greasy within a couple hours and flat. Never mind the one advertised on social media beginning with K which appears all the hype… that left me with a waxy birds nest where I had to soak my hair in cider vinegar to get it out before I could move forward Anyway .. thought I’d try this. Cleans my hair lovely and next day .. as normal.. I’ll put my hair up as looking a bit off (that’s normal for me) Leaves my hair feeling clean, and silky. my scalp loves it. No itchy mess, no flaking. Smells lovely and gentle enough I can wash my hair every day if I want I do feel I need a tiny bit of conditioner on the ends though My only gripe is … I can’t find a tin the right size to store for travel. Fine for bathroom storage but need something for travel

I have thick, coarse, curly, dry hair. I need moisture, frizz and curl control as well as a detangler. Normally I have lots of hair in my shower after washing not to mention the tangles. I read all the reviews before trying this. Was disappointed that some said it didn't last or lather. I just wanted something to take on my vacation for two weeks. TSA has the liquid restrictions and I was going to have to check a bag just to take enough conditioner/hair products for two weeks. My problem has been solved. I now have a shampoo and conditioner [ as well as a leave in bar). I tried this to be certain of the results before packing. This has been a blessing. No more tangles, my curls now behave, my hair is soft and smells great but not over powering. I even used the blow dryer to speed up the drying process. I never did this before unless I would flat iron just because I would look like einstein before the flat iron... even with product! Now I have the hair I wanted. The shampoo lathers well. Just wet your hair and the bar and lather up! The conditioner works great. I usually use alot of conditioner just to get through my tangles. With this conditioner I just rub this bar over the front and back of my wet hair after shampooing. When done I rub a little in my palms to get a very thin/light coating then finger comb it through my hair. I have a dry scalp so I make certain tu use some on my scalp, shower then rinse. I use the leave in conditioner the same way, but do not rinse. I use moisturizer shampoo and alternate the next shampoo session with a frizz control bar. Just twice a week and my hIr already feels and looks great compared to what it was. I bought some for my friends who needed the volume control instead of the moisture and frizz. Each one loves it and saw good results. One of them has difficulties holding bottles and washing her hair, but she said the bar was much easier for her hands to use. This is my new product! No more expensive shampoos and no more recycling bottles. I feel I am using less product than the bottles, so this is a fraction of what I was paying! The other savings is a plus as wel.. it goes right inside my personal item.. no more worrying about checking a bag just to get 2 weeks supply of hair product!!

Absolutely love this, smells and feels so fresh on my hair. Have been using this shampoo for a while now and it is great on my fine hair, has helped it feel less greasy and I’m getting more time between washes now than before. It also lasts really well so I haven’t had to repurchase often like other types of shampoo bars I’ve tried.

Until I found this Ethique shampoo bar, I had never thought about all the industrial chemistry in regular shampoo. The chemistry is no good for your hair, while soaps contaminate surface water and threaten the existence of many wild animals. My old shampoo had 17 ingredients, mostly soaps and salts, with only 2 natural safe ingredients 9 (honeysuckle extract & aloe barbadensis leaf). The other 15 ingredients were industrial chemistry. In my experience, if you can't pronounce it, you shouldn't rub it onto your body. In contrast, this Ethique bar has 17 ingredients, none of which are environmentally destructive soaps & 7 are natural ingredients, including cocoa seed butter, coconut oil, lime oil, cinnamon bark extract, ginger root powder and epsom salt. It's also palm oil free, which helps to reduce giant palm tree plantations in developing countries to sell palm oil to Western companies instead of growing their own food sustainably. I use the Sweet & Spicy for fine hair and I love it. It smells great without being overpowering. One caution: it is a very soft shampoo bar. So you have to set it up to dry after showering or it will stay soft and tend to melt. And it cleans great. I wipe the bar across my wet hair 2-3 times then wipe the bar dry and it lathers up easily. And the bar lasts a good long time: I shampooed daily with it for 5 months (157 days, to be exact, sometimes shampooing twice a day in hot weather) until it was gone. So if you are looking for a great natural shampoo bar and love your Mother (Gaia, that is), this is the bar for you. Highly recommended.

A couple of years ago, my long hair started to become very oily at the roots and I was having to wash it every day, some days when I washed it in the morning it even started to look visibly oily by the evening. I tried absolutely everything I could think of to stop it getting greasy so quickly - shampoo for oily hair, shampoo for dry hair, gentle shampoo, harsh shampoo, anti-dandruff shampoo, medicated shampoo, balancing shampoo, washing less often, washing more often, using conditioner, not using conditioner, cold water, hot water, lukewarm water, using dry shampoo, scrubbing my scalp with a brush, blow-drying, not blow-drying, washing my hairbrush daily, buying a new hairbrush, silk pillowcases... You name it, I tried it - I even cut my long hair short to see if that would help (it didn't). Having previously tried a shampoo bar from another brand that made big promises but left my hair feeling waxy and stiff, I wasn't too convinced that an Ethique bar would do much, but decided to give it a go. I am so glad I did - this is literally the only thing that has worked to stop my hair getting greasy/oily so quickly . My hair no longer looks greasy and dirty within 12 hours of washing it. I can now go for 48 hours between washes, which was impossible before with anything I tried. And although it leaves my hair feeling very clean to the touch when I rinse, it isn't drying my hair out at all. I am honestly so impressed and have no plans to go back to using "normal" shampoo or any other type of shampoo bar. The bars last for ages with proper care too - bought mine in February, it's now the end of April and there's still a lot of it left, so it's excellent value for money (especially compared with some of those high-end pricey "balancing" shampoos I was previously using!).
