My hair isn't even ear length yet, so I think if I figure it out early, I can actually stick to it when I have longer hair!

Confirmed with manufacturer and yes, it's a soap bar! I'm excited to figure it out.

Today, after 3 years since I gave up on them, I'm gonna try out one I made(oats and lavender) followed by an ACV rinse(or kombucha vinegar if it's ready). Wish me luck!

if the one you have doesn't work out and you're comfortable with using sulfates on your hair(scandalous I know) I highly recommend the Ethique shampoo and conditioner bars! I have used several other shampoo bars that left my hair sticky and waxy and stringy no matter what I did. but the Ethique ones are my favorite shampoos ever! They're also quite affordable and the conditioner is non-silicone which I love! I will use sulfates but not silicones on my hair.

I had to give it up, since I got a bad flare on my scalp. That was a solid try though

As usually in the fall my hair starts to be more prone to flatness and total lack of volume. Scalp gets greasy quicker and I decided that it's time to get back to shampoo bars. They used to give me crazy volume and freshness for longer time.
Anyway I bought a bar today - Friendly Soap Shampoo bar with lavender and tea tree. I will be testing it today

Since I switched to bar shampoo around a year ago my scalp condition has improved significantly, so now I'm trying out different ones! I just bought this chocolate one, I hope it's good

I've read great things about Lamazuna!
I'm likinig shampoo bar too, lately. I recentely used up one from the brand Enooso and I enjoyed it. Now I'm using one from the german brand Alverde. I've used it just once but it seems good for my scalp and hair. It is very easy to use.
