    Great for someone with fragrance allergies!

    I was recently diagnosed with a very severe allergy to beeswax and fragrance products. I have struggled to find an unscented shampoo that works well with my hair. Other products I have used have left my hair greasy after two days and it didn’t feel as soft or full. I remembered that Ethique created an unscented shampoo and conditioner bar. I tried it for the first time and my hair is amazing! It’s so soft and I was able to go four days before needing my next wash! I got so many compliments about how my hair looked really nice and very healthy. And just look how cute the bar is!

    I’m bummed

    I was really excited to try ethique after hearing amazing things but sadly this bar didn’t do it for me :( I noticed pretty early on that the shampoo bar left a strange residue on my hair and it was very difficult to manage/brush. Since then the last 2-3 inches of my hair have become super dry and frizzy. I haven’t been able to wear my hair down in a few weeks because of it. I wanted to at least give 2 stars because the conditioner bar that originally came with this shampoo had a scent I REALLY did not dig and Ethique support was kind enough to give me a full refund without returns. I picked out a different conditioner bar to try, but it hasn’t seemed to help the frizzly, dry ends.

    Thanks so much for your review, Ellie—we’re really sorry to hear you didn’t get the results you were hoping for.

    It sounds like the experience may have started with the conditioner (we know how much scent can impact the overall feel!), but we appreciate your comments on the shampoo bar too. While the Gentle Shampoo is fragrance-free and designed to be mild and non-stripping, we understand that every hair type reacts differently—and finding the right routine can take some trial and error.

    Thanks again for your kind words about our support team—we’re always here if you need help choosing your next bar. 💚

    Love!

    I love the way my scalp and hair feels after using this shampoo and conditioner combo! I've tried others and they leave a residue on my hair, but Ethnique is a great product and I won't go back.
