Ethique Volumising Solid Shampoo Bar for Fine, Flat, Limp Hair (80 Washes) - Sweet & Spicy - Vegan, Eco-Friendly, Plastic-Free, Cruelty-Free

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 forwardAnyway .. 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 wantI do feel I need a tiny bit of conditioner on the ends thoughMy 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

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!).

Soap smells slightly but build up foam quickly. If it will work I need to try it for a while. 1 star less as it is quite expensive for that very small bar.

Lathers really well and makes my hair feel lovely and soft.

I use a lor of styling hair products and this shampoo really ckeans up my hair. Leaving it with a soft and light feeling.I have very thinning and damp hair and this shamppoo is giving it a lift up.It is a chunky bar though I can cut it into smaller pieces.

I don’t particularly like the smell personally but it’s bearable. Lathers up well. Does it thicken my hair? Not sure if I’ve been using it enough to know yet, but I don’t think it’s particularly changed the thickness etc. how long does it last? I’m not sure how many times I’ve used it to be able to say as I sometimes use the Kiwi anti dandruff bar too.

Honestly I’ve never used shampoo this good, especially not a bar. My hair feels fantastic, is soft, shiny and full. I don’t know how they’ve done it, but you can’t get better than this. No conditioner needed, just a few rubs with this delightful smelling bar. This really is the best of the best.

Love ethique! Nothing to complain about. I have very oily hair and it wants to be washed every day what's not recommended. But with this shampoo I don't have to. My hair are shiny and fresh and maybe it's just me, there's more volume 🤔 either way, I'd recommend.I love the package too, free of plastic ❤️
