Review: Better than expected, great for sensitivities - I've been wanting to try out shampoo/conditioner bars, but I didn't want to shell out for a full size bar if I wasn't going to like it. I love this sampler because if I can try out several different scents/formulas before really committing to one, and without wasting an entire bar if it doesn't end up working for me. So far, I've only tried the Heali Kiwi shampoo bar and the Guardian conditioner bar, and I'm thrilled with the results. I have very fine, silky hair (mostly straight with a slight wave to it) that can turn limp/flat/greasy at the drop of a hat. I was not expecting these bars to magically change the nature of my hair, and they didn't, but I do feel that my hair didn't get greasy/limp as quickly as it has with other shampoos. I also didn't have any issues with soap build up, it all rinsed out just fine. What I was very impressed with was how soft my hair was after, and how I was able to brush my hair immediately after washing it and while it was still wet, which is not something I can usually do after using normal shampoo. My hair also has almost no tangles at all right now, and I spent most of today out on a motorcycle. Normally, my hair would be knotted like crazy by now even without having spent time out on the bike. Overall, I am very happy with these bars; I'm even pleasantly surprised, because all I had been expecting/hoping for was that they wouldn't be worse than the shampoo and conditioner I've been using. My only wish is that the scent would be just a little stronger, but that's honestly not a downside. I'd rather they have a faint smell because of natural ingredients than a strong, lingering smell because of unnecessary ingredients. Note: I have multiple health issues, including hashimoto's thyroiditis. I'm very sensitive to certain ingredients and the bars I used have not given me any issues thus far.
Review: A great way to try this product line - I have been looking for a shampoo bar brand that works for me and with this, I think I've found it. When I started this search, I really was only looking for something that would make carry-on travel a little easier, but these products are so nice that I may switch to them full time. This sample kit came with both conditioners and two of the shampoos that I was wanting to test and all smell wonderful (unlike another line of shampoo bars that I tried in this same quest). The scents for all of them seem to have common themes of citrus and coconut. Of this set, the St. Clements is definitely my favorite shampoo. I have fine, medium thick, slightly wavy hair and it doesn't take much to weight it down. I have an oily scalp, but sometimes have dry ends. The most I ever make it on a wash is two days (and that's with a really good shampoo the first day and dry shampoo on the 2nd). I found that the St. Clements shampoo does a good job of controlling scalp oils and leaves my hair feeling very nice. And I can make it through that second day with my usual dry shampoo routine. The Heali Kiwi shampoo is not bad, and I like my hair on the day of washing, but I can't make it through a second day without re-washing. My hair was a little too oily for me to risk it. I haven't tried the Frizz Wrangler because I don't really need any help smoothing, but I'll probably eventually try it out just for curiosity's sake. I like both of the conditioners, but I think my favorite ended up being the Wonderbar. The first time I used it, I wasn't sure it was enough conditioner. It seemed a little lighter than I was used to. But, if I leave it on my hair a little longer before rinsing, it did leave my hair nice and soft after it was dry. And, while it didn't detangle in the shower quite as much as my bottled conditioner, I didn't have any trouble combing through my wet hair when I got out. The guardian conditioner is nice as well, and would probably work really well for those who need extra moisturizing. While it's not as heavy as I feared it would be, it's a little heavy for me to use with every wash. But I could see using it once a week or so, just for some extra treatment. I ended up purchasing full sized versions of the St. Clements and the Wonderbar, and I also bought the Sweet and Spicy shampoo (not in this set). I do wish that they offered sample sizes of all of their products so that I could only buy the ones I am interested in trying, but this set has a pretty good variety to give you a feel for what their product line is like.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I will be traveling for 19 days, changing locations every 3-4 days .how do you pack/store these while traveling?**
A: Hey Jana,

Our Discovery Packs are perfect travel companions – you don’t have to lug around all that extra water, you can take it on the plane in your carry-on, and there’s zero chance of it exploding in your suitcase. The best storage solution is the one you already own! So, anything out of your reusable container cupboard that fits the airtightness bill will get the job done. We’ve seen very cute options like old tobacco or candy tins, too. Just make sure your bars are totally dry before you put them in, otherwise you’ll arrive with a container full of mush.

Tips for speed drying your bars in a hurry
When time is of the essence and you have a plane to catch shortly after using your bar in the shower, a few speed drying hacks will come in handy! Not even the best storage solution will help the drying process and if you were eyeballing the hair dryer, just don’t. Using heat to dry your bar will melt it and nobody wants that.

Tip #1: If you are in a hurry, pop your bar on a flannel or towel near an open window and get that airflow going while you finish packing and getting ready. Just don’t forget to grab it before you go!

Tip #2: If you have access to a hot water cupboard where the hot water cylinder resides, this will be a welcome time-saver. Lie your bar flat on a flannel or towel and shut the cupboard, but don’t forget to retrieve it on your way out.

Super easy right? Allowing your bars to drain and dry before popping it into your storage container of choice is pretty much all you need to keep your bar with you throughout your travels. That, and not leaving it behind!

Thanks

**Q: Is this made in the usa?**
A: Thanks for asking Kathy! All our clever wee bars are made in New Zealand.

**Q: I purchased the sample pack for dry hair and both shampoos left my hair feeling like straw. Is there a better bar that doesn't do this?**
A: Thanks so much for letting us know how you're getting on, although I'm sorry to hear you're hair is left feeling like straw! I'd love to help you out with this. 

Sometimes if customers change up the way they're using the product, they find they get much better results. I've copied some details down below for how to best use our shampoo & conditioner bars, which may help you out. :)

Our bars are very concentrated and only a small amount of product is needed. We recommend thoroughly wetting your hair (and wetting the bar too), gently swiping it just a few times from root to tip (4-5 times), then placing the bar down and building up a lather with your fingers. As tempting as it is to, there's no need to keep swiping the bar to hair until a lather begins to build; by this stage, it's likely that too much product has already been deposited to strands. If you have oily hair, we recommend washing twice - the second time, you should get a deeper cleanse and more lather with only a tiny amount of product. Another common issue is that customers will lather the bar in their hands like soap however this doesn't give you enough product at all and you'll essentially be cleaning your hands instead!

Similarly, only a few swipes of our conditioner bars are needed (4-5) - hair won't feel slippery on application the way it will with liquid conditioners, but the silky magic happens when the conditioner is rinsed out.

If you have thick hair, to make applying product on easier, I'd recommend sectioning hair into two or four, and rubbing the bar on each section to make sure there is enough product distributed - in saying this a little goes a long way, so make sure you aren't using too much! 😊

I hope the above tips helps out! 

~Maisie

**Q: How do these work with hard water?**
A: Hi Mimi,

Thanks so much for your question about hard water! 

Hard water only affects soap-based products. As our shampoo bars are 100% soap-free, they should be perfectly fine and won't leave any residue due to the water. 

A lot of shampoo bars on the market do contain soap, which leave a waxy-textured residue on the hair as the pH level of soap is much higher than that of hair (too alkaline). This is why some manufacturers of such shampoo bars sometimes recommend following washes with an apple cider vinegar rinse - the acidity of the vinegar is meant to neutralize the alkalinity of the soap in these bars in order to prevent the residue from forming. It is highly likely that this soap residue was the cause of the waxiness issues you've experienced with shampoo bars in the past, especially in combination with hard water.

Ethique's shampoo bars, however, are just that: shampoo without the water. They are 100% soap-free and formulated at a pH level which is complementary to human hair (pH level 4.5 - 6, depending on the water). This means no residue or build-up will form! Our shampoo bars are simply salon-quality shampoos, with the unnecessary water component removed. 

Hope this helps! Have a great day, and don't hesitate to let us know if we can help with anything else!
