FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Find answers to common queries regarding our Solid Conditioning Shampoo Bars designed for
superior hair care and eco-friendliness.
Q: What is a solid conditioning shampoo bar?
A: It’s a shampoo and conditioner all in one solid bar, designed to gently cleanse and nourish your hair—without the plastic bottle. And without any silicones, parabens or sulfates.
Q: How do I use it?
A: Wet your hair and the bar, then rub the bar between your hands or directly onto your hair to create a lather. Massage through your scalp and strands, then rinse well.
Q: What if the bar gets soft or mushy?
A: This happens if it sits in water. Simply squeeze the bar tightly into a ball and let it dry out on a draining dish, and it will firm back up. Ideally we would suggest purchasing one of our Barkeepers to keep your bar in optimum condition.
Q: Will a shampoo bar work with hard water?
A: We’ve travelled across Australia with our bars and haven’t found a water yet they won’t lather in. Customers even tell us they work beautifully in salty water—perfect for caravans, campers, and seaside adventures.
Q: Can I travel with a shampoo bar?
A: Definitely. They’re compact, lightweight, leak-free, and perfect for travelling anywhere. Perfectly lightweight and water-efficient, they’re a must-have for caravanners and campers.
Q: How do I store my shampoo bar?
A: For best results, store your bar on one of our Barkeepers. Keeping it dry and allowing it to drain between uses helps it last longer. Alternatively, use a well-draining soap dish or rack. When travelling, store it in a ventilated travel tin once it has dried.
Q: How long does one bar last?
A: On average, one bar lasts as long as 2–3 bottles of liquid shampoo, depending on hair length and how often you wash.
Q: Can I use the bar on colored or treated hair?
A: Absolutely. Our gentle, natural ingredients help maintain hair health and vibrancy while avoiding harsh chemicals.
Q: Are your bars suitable for all hair types?
A: Yes! Our bars are carefully formulated with natural ingredients to work for most hair types, including curly, straight, thick, and fine hair.
Q: Are your shampoo bars eco-friendly?
A: Yes! They’re plastic-free, travel-friendly, and made with natural ingredients to reduce both waste and environmental impact.
Q: Are these bars suitable for everyone?
A: Yes, they are. Our conditioning shampoo bars are made with gentle, nourishing ingredients and are suitable for most people. As with many personal care products that contain essential oils, we recommend that pregnant or breastfeeding women use with care and consult their healthcare professional if they have any concerns. If you have known sensitivities or allergies, a patch test is always advised.
