*NOTE - Shampoo bars are now square shaped, but still contain the same amount of product*
Have you tried a solid shampoo bar before? Besides being environmentally friendly and plastic-free, they are super concentrated and last on average about 50 to 60 washes or about 3 bottles of liquid shampoo. They travel very well and can act as a body wash if packing space is slim. They clean with a combination of surfactants, but they also contain some really lovely active ingredients. Mine are formulated to be smooth as I prefer a smooth surface that won't get stuck in my hair or pull it. I found that the noodles of other shampoo bars tend to stick out sometimes and pull on my very long hair.
My unique shampoo bars contain lovely emollients, conditioners, detanglers, a protein, botanical extracts, pro-vitamin B5, and humectants. They can be used as a 2 in 1 for those with normal to dry hair, but I use it with a conditioner bar since my hair needs the extra conditioning and detangling.
See below for a full list of ingredients. If you have any scent suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Just use the contact button at the bottom of the page.

A note about handmade soap and shampoo: Each bar is handmade, hand molded, and no two are exactly alike. Your bar will last longer if kept dry between uses. Place your bar on a well-draining soap dish out of the spray of water for best performance. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Soaps/shampoos are for external use only and are not edible. You may experience colored lather with dark or brightly colored bars. I have not experienced any staining nor have my testers, but your mileage may vary ;-)
