Works well for my hair and skin. Love that it avoids plastic bottle waste and absolutely best for travel.

Smells good and leaves hair soft and clean

I use this bar in a nylon netting bag— no hairy soap bar! I find that you must “lather-rinse-repeat” because the first time removes the build-up & oil on the hair, the second cleans down to the scalp. It’s not like the detergent you get in a bottle— this shampoo is a gentle soap that cleans well. I have less hair falling out now

This is the best shampoo for girls with thick, curly hair who deal with dandruff. This stuff leaves no residue on your scalp without stripping your hair dry. I love it and it smells great.

I've been using this for several years. I only need to wash my hair 1-2 times a week. Pretty neutral scent, you don't need to use much for a nice lather.

I've only used it once so far, but this shampoo bar left my dull graying hair shiny and silky. Lathers well enough. Before it disappeared, Trader Joe's shampoo bar was what I used and it was fine, but I like the Garnier better. I also used another brand which I can't recall, but it wasn't very good. I wish Garnier would sell these shampoo bars in real stores. I haven't seen it in the stores where I shop.

This shampoo bar works great. It lathers well, my hair feels soft and clean.Looks shiny and soft.

This bar shampoo lathers better than most. I don’t really detect much of a scent, but it seems to clean my hair well and rinses fairly easily. Others have said that the bar falls apart; I suggest getting a small mesh bag for this purpose. I use these for my shampoo bar, my conditioner bar, and bar soap. It keeps them from slipping out of your hands once they’re wet and holds the diminishing bits for continued use. Easily purchased at various sites.

Nice blend. Good sudsing and does soften the hair with continued use.

When my daughter-in-law told me she'd started using bar shampoo, I was skeptical, but willing to try it to reduce all that plastic from shampoo bottles.She'd told me just three swipes of the bar across my head, and it seemed like far too little, since I was used to all the suds from liquid shampoo, but after swiping and rubbing it in and rinsing, my hair felt squeaky-clean! I don't even need to use conditioner every day.My only issue is the shape of the bar. It's really a nice ergonomic shape when the bar is new, but once it's past half done, it's prone to breaking. I've only tried one other brand, which didn't break as easily, but it also tended to leave my hair feeling gummy. So I got those little soap-saver bags to put the pieces in, and it works great.

I love the difference it makes. It foams a lot when you wet your hair immediately before applying! my hair looks much healthier and it takes longer before it gets oily. I only use once every couple days because it is so clarifying my hair doesn’t need much washing for the next couple days! I like to focus on applying it to my scalp and using a scalp brush to make sure I got it through most of my hair from my scalp to the dead ends! Its also not oily at all so it doesn’t have any effect on my skin! I actually break out a lot on my back but after using this shampoo bar, I don’t really have any issues with irritation or anything else thankfully!

I know that's a pretty dramatic statement but its true. I have thick, fine, oily hair. I've never been able to find a shampoo that works for my hair. They would either dry out my hair or not fully clean it. Either way, I would always wake up with oily hair. Even though I washed my hair before bed. I've tried everything I can find for oily hair and nothing worked.I got into shampoo bars a few months ago and I like them. I like not having to deal with another plastic bottle in my shower. I like that I can use just enough product. I like how easy it is to travel with it. I've been Using different brands. I decided to try this one a go. I loved the smell. The bar is also very dense so I feel it will last a long time. I've had other bars fall apart. It also lathers well.My hair is clean but not dry. The ends of my hair are not dried out. My hair has body. All in all I'm really happy. I'm going to continue to use this bar in the future.

Garnier Whole Blends Softening Shampoo Bar for Fine to Normal HairPurchased 6 months ago, half still remains, weekly shampooing untreated, thin, shoulder length, type 1a natural rhennish-blonde hair.About five years ago, discouraged by liquid restrictions for travel, I started looking at shampoo bars. This is the 4th brand I've tried, and while I'm still looking for the optimal conditioner, this is the shampoo that works best for me. It produces a generous lather when rotating the bar in the hands to apply to the hair, or when massaging the scalp after running the bar along the length of the hair. It has a mild but noticeable odor which doesn't invade the whole bathroom or stay on the hair more than a few hours.The odd, irregular shampoo bar shape encourages application by the edge instead of the flat, which prevents it from thinning and breaking like a soap bar.Like any bar, this one degrades quickly in water. I keep mine on a dish mounted above the showerhead level. and expect it to last at least 10 months.

I liked this bar. I'm trying to make the switch from bottles to bar shampoo and this was my first bar. It foams up nicely and has a very pleasant scent and rinses away cleanly leaving hair feeling light and airy (like that just cut feeling after visiting the salon). I used it about every other day, some times every two days, because I could and my hair didn't get greasy in between- the bar lasted about a month. Things I noticed switching to the bar: I wish this brand came with conditioning bar, with long hair I found myself using a detangle spray after washes and eventually bought a conditioning bar from another brand which works beautifully. Longer hair means using more soap so I run through the bar more quickly. A months use at this price will add up quickly considering I can buy a bottle of shampoo/cond for same price which will last several months. That's a personal problem, no issues with the soap.

Longer version:I bought this because I have developed an allergy to SLS, and the newer ingredients that are basically the same thing. I have super fine hair, but a lot of it, and it tends to lack volume. My hair tends to be somewhere around mid-back, so I could it as long. I really wanted a product that was less plastic packaging, didn't irritate my scalp, and didn't plaster my poor hair to my head.This product works really well, the one ding is that the soap is super slippery when wet and the teardrop shape makes it harder to hold onto than round ones. However, the coconut derived surfactant doesn't irritate my scalp, and I've used it 6x week since I got it Jan 12th. It lasts quite well if kept on a shelf out of the shower stream and lathers nicely. Best of all, it works with my current conditioner and doesn't leave a residue like some solid shampoos I've tried. I'll be ordering this again!

I'm not new to shampoo bars. I purchased this product because I wanted to keep reducing my plastic use while staying frugal.NOT TOO ECONOMICAL: It's probably one of the cheaper shampoo bars out there by a couple dollars. After using it, I will say that it's not that economical as I've used it for about a month or two and I've got the bar in a crumbled state right now. I'll probably be going back to the Etsy Aermarket shampoo and conditioner bars for about $10/bar. Another one that isn't bad is Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Water Shampoo + Conditioner Bar - 4 oz for $5. Those bars last me at least a few months without crumbling.FUNCTION: It definitely leaves my hair clean, but I kind of have to rub the bar against my hair more to get a nice lather. I am an AAPI female with thick, black medium hair so although I don't need much detangling, I do need quite a bit of a lather to wash my thick hair thoroughly. The subtle scent is nice and lasts for a short period of time typically right after a shower.CLIMATE FRIENDLY: It's mostly eco-friendly except I'm purchasing it from Amazon, whose workers (that deserve better work conditions) packaged mine using a plastic padded envelope. So again, that's why I'm back to my Etsy seller Aermarket that uses all paper and cardboard to package and ship it.

I’m these photos I’m on day 2 of no washing. My hair is a bit messy due to humidity so don’t get me wrong, this is an amazing product. This is the third shampoo bar I’ve used. I started with J.R. Ligott’s Original bar, I finished that and moved to an off brand fermented rice bar, and now this bar. These shampoo bars are almost like washing your hair with oil, especially the J.R. Ligott’s bars, but don’t let that steer you away. My hair has never been healthier, with such great texture, and so much new growth. The problem I had with the other two bars was my hair got oily too fast. I wash my hair every 2-4 days. I try my best to shoot for 4. I have curly hair, A LOT OF IT, and the strands are extremely fine. I saw that this is for fine to normal hair so I decided to try it. It has the rice starch and oat starch in it that helps with hair growth. It is more chemically than I would like but it makes my hair so nice and I can go 4 days between washes with no problem. This bar makes my hair feel so soft. I have gotten so use to shampoo bars that the lack of scent is not a problem. It makes your hair smell very natural and clean, a little earthy. Shampoo bars last for months I have yet to finish this bar and I’m excited to see how long it lasts. If you want to save money, help the planet, and make your hair super nice I recommend this shampoo bar. I recommend this bar for men, women, and children alike. It’s amazing.

I was quite skeptical about a shampoo bar. Would it lather? Would it leave my hair smooth and shiny? We were trying different brands for an upcoming trip and I am now a shampoo bar convert! It is as good or better than shampoo in a bottle and for travel, there is no question it is the best choice. We bought two different bars of Garnier. The scent was lovely, and the lather exceeded my expectations. My husband said he rather use a shampoo bar from now on. The only thing was the length of time it lasts. It is supposed to last a lot longer than it actually does. For a trip it would be great for a week. If two people are using it, that would be all it would last. We are now into week two of just my husband using it and it is just pieces. Would I buy it again for a trip? Yes. Would I use it for everyday? No because it doesn't last long enough for the price.

UPDATE AFTER 6 USES:By the 3rd or 4th time I used this bar, I noticed my hair when dry actually got a lot rougher in texture. I didn't put any extra products after showering normally and it never felt this rough. I also noticed my scalp got a lot oilier after just one day so I couldn't really wait 3 days to wash my hair even if I wanted to. Dandruff at my hairline was actually ridiculous when fixing my bangs, my whole hairline was just white with dryness and while my previous shampoo also caused some dryness (Aussie Miracle Moist), it never did it to this degree. I think this could just be my hair getting used to the bar after multiple uses since I had a completely opposite reaction the first time I used this. However, I might need to consider trying a shampoo bar specifically for dandruff since this has happened with multiple shampoos, bottled or not.I would say be careful of more dandruff if that is a common problem for you. It worked great the first time but my dandruff got progressively worse, so maybe I have to alternate it with shampoos that have sulfates. I still think this is a decent shampoo bar, but it seems to have just done nothing for dandruff as I thought.ORIGINAL REVIEW AFTER 2 USESThis is my first impression after 2 uses and this is my first ever shampoo bar. I think it suds pretty well for starters which I've noticed is a problem for a lot of shampoo bars. I made sure my hair was completely wet and rubbed the bar to get the suds on my hands then worked my hands on my roots. I also used the pointy tip of the bar to rub directly on my scalp. For reference, I have long-layered straight and thick Asian hair with a dandruff-prone scalp. I found the shampoo bar to suds within only a minute or two of lathering on my scalp which is great. After rinsing completely my hair did feel like it had been completely cleaned out of any oils and build-up so it felt a little *too clean* until I added my conditioner. I use the Garnier Fructis Treat conditioners (comes in a drink-type bottle) and my hair felt soft and hydrated again. I wash my hair every 2 days and so far I've had no negative reactions.What I loved after getting out of the shower and drying my hair is that my hair did feel a lot softer and shinier with this shampoo bar than with my last bottled shampoo (Aussie Miracle Moist). I also had noticeably less dandruff and flakiness the next day. I usually get a lot of flakiness near my hairline and there was way less here, which is great since I do have eczema. I'd say this is a good introduction to bar shampoos since it comes from a recognizable brand. I personally don't like coconut scents and I'm finding it bothersome so avoid if you have coconut allergies or are sensitive to coconut scents. Otherwise i think this is a great travel-friendly shampoo bar!

I had no idea "shampoo bars" existed when I saw a short video on them on SnapChat of all places - haha. It piqued my interest. I don't consider myself big on recycling or green issues, but there are things that are common sense to me, like the enormous amount of packaging waste. I don't go out of my way, but if it makes sense to me or even saves me money with little to no extra effort, I'll do it. For example, I do use cloth diapers for my kids.Anyway, even buying the "big bottle" 33.8oz Garnier shampoos and conditioners, that's a lot of bottles, recycled or not, and all those pumps and straws! Add to that I have some sort of skin sensitivity. For the past 10 plus years my hands get rashes and cracks, in the fall and winter especially. No lotion helps. I had a steroid cream once that sorta helped. Plus I have generally itchy skin all over. Zertec helps with the itch, but not the rash. Someone mentioned to me her son was diagnosed with an allergy to a common soap additive. It's not in the shower or hand soap I use but it's all over liquid shampoos! It's not in this bar. So the shampoo was the last thing possibly irritating my hands and skin.How's the hair? I have long (past my waist) fine, light toned, not chemically treated hair. And a lot of it - the quantity of strands is plentiful, no thinning. Stick straight, no texture. I don't blow dry or curl - pointless between the length and the lack of texture. All I do is brush it then put it in a bun or braid - both of which are reasons I keep it long. If I leave it down, especially if it's shoulder length or shorter, it looks stringy. I would say it is "normal," being niether oily nor dry. My scalp is healthy. I use hairspray to keep the strays in place with my bun, so that needs to get washed out and that's about my only real concern.I used to have to use coal tar shampoo once a week to do a deep clean. My hair would be so clean, I wouldn't even have to condition because it's so soft and silky (a huge advantage for natural hair, but does limit my styling ability). I don't even have to do that with this bar. Clean every time, though if it feels extra heavy with hairspray I wash twice. Gets a good lather. I condition once or twice a week, just when I feel it needs some detanging help, not for actual softness. This is a huge change for me, as I used large amounts of conditioner previous. If your asking where the companion conditioner is, you may not need any! And my hands have not been irritated and only started to get dry with single digit temperatures outside, like a normal person.Follow the directions. I looked into many different bars before settling on this one. Price and targeted hair type were my 2 biggest concerns. I specifically looked for a bar for fine hair and with a few candidates, this seemed the best value (and just so happened to be the same brand I have used for 20ish years). I will continue with this. But read the directions as not all bars are used and stored the same. Store "dry", on a soap saver out of the stream and splash of you shower. I have mine on a wall caddy in the back of the shower. Apply to scalp/roots and work down. It says not to pull your hair up into it, but work it down.... I pull my length up into it and that works just fine.It's been over a month and I probably have another month or so left, so it lasts a reasonable amount of time, this bar was on the small side based on my research (I figured if bar shampoo didn't work out, I didn't make too much of a commitment). I plan on introducting my 6 year old son to it, as he hates shampooing and doesn't want liquid shampoo to get in his eyes, a real panic for him. He likes bar soap now, I'm sure he'll like bar shampoo.I hope this long ramble helps anyone on the fence or still doing research into bar shampoo!
