## Description

desertcart.com : Ethique Curl-Defining Shampoo Bar with Shea Butter - Plastic-Free, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, 3.88 oz - Professor Curl : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Amazing product! Really love it! - LOVE this shampoo bar! I have been looking for something like this for so long. I have been using this now for a few weeks and every time I love how well it does to clean my hair and leave it shiney and soft. It lathers better than some bottled shampoos I have been using. I'm pairing it with the conditioner and when my hair dries it is so soft and it is enhancing my natural wavy hair. The only thing I wish was better about this is the scent is not strong/barely noticeable. But I'm a customer for life. I love this and think this will last me a very, very long time.
Review: This Stuff Rocks - Not that this doesn't have enough positive reviews already, but it's really pretty spectacular. 10/10 would recommend and will be repurchasing. Reasons why this is the best stuff ever: IT WORKS. Which....enough said right? I've got thin, frizzy/wavy hair. It's bleach damaged and dyed over on the bottom, but oily on the top. I usually wash every other or every third day. The stuff I was using before was something my hairdresser scared me into purchasing after she did what she could for my ends. It set me back 70$ for shampoo and conditioner, which was obscene, and I still needed multiple after-shower products to get my hair to act right. Before trying these bars I felt like those were just going to be the consequences of having damaged my ends so badly, but I decided I really wanted to try a different product because, yikes. I've used the San Clemente shampoo and the Guardian conditioner for the last 3-4 months. I'm not going to say I have a whole new head of hair or it's magically thicker or anything like that, but it does look shiny and healthy. It dries wavy/curly like it's supposed to and not in the tortured part straight/part frizz/part curly beast nonsense it was doing with the other products. I don't have to put two after-shower oils into it to be able to brush it. Bottom line, this stuff works well at a price I'm willing to pay. But it's got a bunch of other cool stuff going for it too: Additional Reasons Ethique is the Greatest: - It lasts FOREVER. For real. I'm well past the 3 month mark and maybe about halfway through? I thought the three bottle thing was a massive exaggeration, especially after seeing the size of these bars, but it's really holding true for me. I sit it on the ledge in front of the window in my bathroom in a little silicone soap tray I got from WalMart for like 3 bucks that lets the bottom dry out, and that’s enough to keep it from melting. - It's natural and biodegradable- you can collect your grey water and use it in the garden. You can go camping and not feel guilty about washing your hair (not in a water source, folks). Packaging is 100 percent compostable. It's palm oil free and they try to get their ingredients from companies who treat their employees reasonably and use resources sustainably. They’re great. -Literally, the only green issue I've got is that there's obviously a significant carbon footprint associated with shipping it to me, but if I only have to order it twice a year (or once, if I stockpile?) I feel like it probably evens out? I'm not losing much sleep over it. - Super transportable. I can throw this in my duffle bag for the weekend. I can take this on a carry-on no problem. It takes up almost no space and represents months worth of cleanliness. Which is freaking fantastic, because I'm a college student and we're kind of migratory by nature. - SLS Free! Silicone Free! PH Balanced! My hair is frizzy. It's chemically damaged on the ends. It's thin. And the dye on my ends is hiding a lot of sins. I cannot afford to be messing around with these other bar shampoos made out of soap that are all really alkaline. Dito for the whole baking soda method. Or the ones from LUSH masquerading as good things that are secretly out to destroy you and strip all color from your hair. Or the drugstore shampoos that promise silkiness only because they’re piling the plastics on. It’s a good shampoo full of good stuff that smells nice and is nice to your hair. Go for it. It won’t work miracles, but It does the job it’s supposed to do really well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How’s bar shampoo different from liquid shampoo?**
A: Most liquid haircare is 70–90% water. Our bar is more concentrated with just the actives your hair actually needs. Each shampoo bar equals 3 liquid bottles, while a conditioner bar replaces 5 liquid bottles.

**Q: Why bother switching from liquid shampoo to bars?**
A: You’ll have the best hair of your life with 30x more active ingredients and clinical claims after just one wash! Once you love the bars you’ll save money with these salon-quality, concentrated bars. Plus, no plastic or waste.

**Q: Will it work for my hair type?**
A: Yes. Ethique bars are made for all hair types, from dry to oily, straight to curly. We skip synthetic fragrances, sulfates, and harsh chemicals. Instead, we lean on natural and scientifically proven ingredients that keep hair clean and balanced.

**Q: How do I store shampoo bars?**
A: To keep your bar in top form you only need to do one thing: keep it dry. When your bar is dry it’ll last longer, stay tidy, and be easier to use.

**Q: Are bars easy to use compared to liquid shampoo and conditioner?**
A: Yes! Using shampoo and conditioner bar is just like using liquid bottle—but without the plastic waste. Wet hair and shampoo bar. Swipe directly on scalp. Rinse completely. Glide conditioner bar on hair + ends. Rinse completely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Shampoo Bar for a Deep Clean!
*by L***D on February 4, 2025*

Love this Shampoo Bar! It’s perfect for my oily scalp, and it gives my hair a truly deep clean without stripping it dry. The combination of lime and orange essential oils gives it a fresh, invigorating scent that lasts without being overpowering. It lathers like a dream—so much better than I expected from a bar, and I only need to swipe it a few times across my wet hair to get a nice, rich foam. The ingredients are amazing too! The castor oil works wonders at dissolving oils and sebum, while the glycerine keeps my hair soft and hydrated without feeling greasy. My hair feels lighter, cleaner, and has way more volume after use. I’m also loving how eco-friendly it is. The bar lasts a long time (at least 80 washes, which is like three bottles of liquid shampoo!), and the packaging is completely compostable. It feels good knowing I’m saving money and helping reduce plastic waste. Plus, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and palm oil-free—there’s a lot of thought and care put into making this product. It’s definitely earned a permanent spot in my hair care routine! Highly recommend!
