FRIENDLY SOAP Lavender Geranium Natural Shampoo Bar, 95 GR

A trend I noticed with a lot of the bad reviews was that they used the shampoo bar for one day and decided they didn’t like it. That’s not how this bar works!! You have to commit. The instructions specifically tell you that there’s a transition period with your hair and you have to use it for a while to get the desired results. I have fine, straight hair; I’ve been using this bar every other day for about 3 weeks. It did feel waxy and heavy at first, but it didn’t look bad. Now that it’s transitioned it’s soft, smooth, and has tons of volume. And the bar doesn’t look like it’s decreased in size at all! Remember that the harder your water, the longer it will take your hair to transition. Great purchase, eco-friendly, smells great, lasts forever!

Lathers up better than JR Liggett's, but results are terrible. Dull, waxy residue. My hair seems dirtier than before I washed it. Requires conditioner after use b/c it ties hair in waxy knots. These castor oil bars *might* work for you if you have a buzz cut but for anyone with a length of hair they are truly terrible. Very disappointing because I very much want to stop using so much plastic in the bathroom. Trying other brands!

This is the first shampoo bar I've ever used and I loved it. It made my hair feel light and clean. I've been using more natural products for two years now and wanted to reduce my plastic use. I believe this product is going to be a great way to do that. It smells nice, not overpowering in any way, and really lathers up. I rubbed it about 3 times on my hair (which is pretty long) not knowing what to expect and it really made a lot of suds. My husband tried it and liked it too.

Out of the box, the shampoo bar smells really nice, not too flowery or masculine. It just came in a paper box, no plastic and I appreciated that the box had the pH level written on there as well. Lathered well and it only took a couple of passes to get enough to wash my long hair. It does feel waxy and dry when rinsed and I still use an organic conditioner or apple cider vinegar rinse. When dry, it looks clean but still feels a bit waxy but I noticed that my hair seemed fuller but wasn't as shiny or soft compared to my previous shampoo (trader joe's tea tree and peppermint shampoo). On the second day, my hair wasn't nearly as oily as it normally is when I go a day without washing it and for that, I am grateful. I was skeptical it would be equivalent to 3 bottles, but even it doesn't I'm ok with that.

I tried this shampoo for over a month. It was my first shampoo bar. My hair got clean and it seemed to give it body but it felt as if it left a residue. If I had to compare it I’d say it felt similar to when I use an inexpensive store brand shampoo in a pinch. It was tolerable but I won’t be continuing to use it.

This is my first experience with a shampoo bar. This smells nice, but I tend to smell my conditioner more afterward. It lathers REALLY well, and leaves my hair shiny. No residue and no added weight to my hair. Seems to be lasting a very long time, too. I don’t think I’ll switch back to normal shampoo. I’m trying to cut back on plastic use, and this came in a simple recyclable box. No plastic involved.

Smelled good but left my hair heavy and greasy. I even used an ACV rinse, which didn’t seem to work. This shampoo seemed to strip my hair. Used once but probably not again. It will now become a bar of soap for my body!

I have been using this shampoo for approximately 2 years on both long hair and now short hair. I order directly from Lush. The shampoo bar lathers up extremely well, lasts a very long time because it takes so little to lather up and leaves my hair clean and definitely not greasy or waxy feeling. I can't explain why others whose reviews I have read experience that issue. I am happy with this product....I would like to have additional scents available as I do like to change it up some.....but that's just me.

Ich habe länger gesucht und nach vielen vergeblichen Versuchen diese Shampoo Bar für meine Haare gefunden. Sie schäumt schön und ist für meine Locken gut geeignet. Man darf allerdings nicht vergessen, eine SAURE RINSE nach dem Waschen der Haare zu machen, vor allem wenn man kalthaltiges Wasser zuhause hat. Es kann sonst Kalkseife auf dem Kopf entstehen und das ist keine schöne Sache. (Ich mache die mit etwas Apfelessig und Wasser. Die Mischung gebe ich in eine alte Shampooflasche und schütte sie mir nach dem Haarewaschen einfach über die Haare. Am Ende noch eiskalt abspülen, damit alles schön glänzt, Fertig :o)) Es empfiehlt sich allerdings, zusätzlich zur Seife ab und zu eine Spülung für die Haare zu machen oder etwas Öl in die Haarspitzen zu geben. Sie werden sonst leicht trocken.

Te deja el cabello súper limpio y es amigable con el medio ambiente. Una vez te acostumbras a esto, si vuelves a usar shampoos comerciales sentirás el pelo como muerto de tanto químico.

Le mélange de lavande et de géranium donne bien le merveilleux parfum que j'espérais. Le concept du shampoing solide est tout à fait pratique. J'ai un problème avec le rinçage qui laisse mes cheveux collants et je suis obligée de procéder à un shampoing supplémentaire différent.

Ha dejado él pelo cómo si fuese llena de cera y imposible a peinar. Huele bien y a lo mejor funciona bien como jabón, pero he probado varios champús sólidos pero es él primero que ha dejado él pelo más sucio.

I wanted to try shampoo bars for multiple reasons (less plastic, bathroom space, ease of travel and space and weight considerations) and I bought 6 different bars from different manufacturers, this being one of them. I wanted to love this one due to size (95g versus other bigger bars for travel), cost (£2.95 at time of purchase versus other more expensive bars), minimal very basic packaging simply a cardboard box lacking even the varnish coating making it eco friendly, and as a bonus it was made by a local British company. As I say WANTED to love this and give it 5 stars ......but I just can't. This was the 3rd bar I tried of the 6 I bought and is so far the worst to the point of being unusable. I've been using shampoo bars now for a while and having no issues with them. I finally started using this one just before I went on holiday and took it with me. First use at home I thought I had just been rushing and not fully washed it out as there was a slight tackyness to my hair after my hair dried. No big deal. Took it away on holiday and big problems. Put it on, lathered up beautifully but the second I got it back under the water to wash it out it seized. My hair went like concrete and I could barely get my fingers through it to try and wash it out. I put it down to different water and much lower water pressure than I'm used to but had to stand in the shower for a good 20 minutes just trying to get it out of my hair. Again once there was a tacky film all over my hair with then was itching by the next morning. Tried again the next night and same problem. At this point gave it up as a bad job and had to go find a pharmacist to buy some bottled shampoo. Used that and my hair was immediately back to being silky soft, smooth and lovely to touch. Came home and tried the bar again with good water pressure (and in an area near where it's made so the water should work for the product!) and again sad to say the same issues though to a slightly lesser degree. I've now attempted to use this bar 8 times and every time it's resulted in the same problems. So yeah wanted to love this product and support a local company but I just can't recommend buying this at all.
