So, I had never even HEARD of shampoo bars until a friend, the lovely Caroline Andrus, posted to ask about them. Intrigued, I had to look them up on Amazon right away! I found these ones, with a salve that may save me from having to add conditioner, so two products in one bar = two less plastic bottles! It may not be much, but if it works, I'll also be switching my kids to it, saving even MORE plastic from being tossed into our oceans! YAY! I read a warning from a reviewer that it takes a little bit for your hair to "adjust", so I'll be keeping a daily log of how it's working.
My order arrived today, so here goes the first diary entry!
PS, I was NOT paid or even asked to review this product. This is all me, just wanting to help anyone else out who is considering such products. ALSO! The specific one I bought is currently sold out, but it may be restocked, and the company has many other scents. :)

Day One
I did the thing! Used the bar in a combing motion as directed, and man, this stuff lathers up REALLY nice! I even used the extra suds to wash my body, and it was quite lovely. I love the scent, though my son said it smelled like moldy soap . . . I think that's because his little sister's poopy pull-up was mixed into the bathroom aroma LOL! Rinsed out very easily.
WHILE WET
EWWWWW! My hair feels waxy! Not sticky, yet sticking together. I suppose I could say it feels squeaky clean? There was a guide in the soap box that suggested using a rinse of baking soda and water to help get rid of all the prior residue, I think I'll be trying that tomorrow. Cuz UCKY.

NOW THAT IT'S DRY
Ahhhhh so much better! Waxy feeling is gone, my hair feels soft and light, and it's not tangly! I may not even have to try that rinse after all! I have a feeling I'm going to be loving this new stuff.
