Very nice conditioner bar!
I received the multipack for scents, so I got a little bit of everything and I didn't find any of the fragrances overwhelming. The lavender body soap is the strongest, the shampoo and conditioner just kind of smell "pleasant" but not identifiably of anything.<br /><br />The shampoo bar is fairly average, as far as shampoo bars go. It is low lather (which is typical for shampoo bars—lather is not actually necessary to get hair clean, its just added to a lot of bars because people expect it) but it feels good and is pretty neutral on my scalp. I don't feel any drier or more moisturized than usual, which is fine.<br /><br />The conditioner bar is the real star of the show here. I have long, medium-thick Caucasian 2B/C hair, and it's been GREAT as moisturizing my waves without weighing them down. It takes some getting used to to distribute the conditioner, but I use a LOT less of the bar than I do of a cream, and I'm able to comb my hair out in the shower just as or more easily!<br /><br />The body soap isn't drying, which is great, but I feel its about on par with Dove or similar. It makes a very thick, bubbly lather which is kind of nice (albeit unnecessary; see my note about the shampoo bar). It seems like it will last a while though.<br /><br />I took photos out of the box, then after I'd been using them for two weeks. As you can see, they have worn down but not TOO much. I would comfortably agree that these will last longer than my bottled products! I keep them in plastic soap cases after letting them dry out after use; thy may last less long if you leave them exposed to getting damp during everyone else's showers in your hosuehold.<br /><br />Overall, this is a nice set of water and plastic-free bars. I received it valued at $36, which I wouldn't pay for a mass-produced set like this, but am definitely comfortable paying for the handmade set from a small business.
