Review (3/5): I wanted to love it but...
I wanted to love this bar shampoo because it does not use plastic and it will be easy to travel with. The bar is not as wide as the box and it is in a tear shape so it's easy to hold. I did not like the smell-I tend to be sensitive to smells. The bar feels very solid in your hand. I thought it would lather up better in my hand. I wet my hair in the shower and applied it to the roots of my hair and worked it outward. It required that I add additional water to my hair to lather up whereas bottled shampoo I would not have to do that. The smell was challenging for me. I rinsed my hair and did not use conditioner (I typically do use conditioner). It was not easy to comb through my hair. When my hair dried, it did look pretty good and the smell was very mild. The next day I repeated everything but this time I used my normal conditioner. My hair was easier to comb through and softer. I would bring this on vacation because it is easy to pack but I'm not sure that I would use it on a regular basis because I really don't like the smell when shampooing. I was really hoping that I wouldn't need conditioner.
