    Great product!

    I wasn't sure what to expect, this is the first time using bar shampoo. I am very pleased with the results. It lathers well and cleans my hair at least as good as my liquid shampoo, and I love the scent. I am a convert; will definitely be switching to using a bar, and Ethique's products are fantastic.

    Life changer

    Tried everything from micellar to tee tree oil all kinds of clarifying shampoos but none beats this one. I have very oily roots and couldn’t go without a wash everyday. With this one I can get by every other day or sometimes 2 and my roots won’t get oily or smelly like it used to. What stands out the most is that it makes my hair shinier and smoother but not weighted down. I will keep buying this. The only thing is the bar holder is a bit expensive imo so haven’t purchased it yet so I just put it on top of my face wash net.

    Best for oily hair!

    I love this shampoo bar! It works perfectly for my hair and it suds really well, like advertised. It smells nice but doesn't leave a scent on the hair, which I like. If you have oily hair and can't find anything that works, try this. It's simple and easy to use. You don't need more products, just this clarifying shampoo bar that cleans effectively and keeps moisture in.

    Love it as always

    The new shape of the shampoo soap is a bit easier to hold.
