EarthKindOrganic Oats Conditioning Bar For All Hair Types, 50g, EKCB01

I've been struggling recently to find a shampoo and conditioner that doesn't leave my hair feeling harsh and dry. Saw this had some good reviews and I am getting fed up with all the plastic bottles in my bathroom so decided to give it a go. This has to be the best shampoo and conditioner I have used in a very long time. The softness has returned. My hair feels so clean and the scent is just gorgeous. I did do two washes with it which I think makes a big difference. The second go with less soap really made a lovely squeaky clean finish. Although the bars are quite small I hardly used any soap at all so I'm hoping it will last longer than a normal bottle.

I made the switch from bottled shampoo and conditioner earlier this year, trying to make a conscious effort to reduce single-use plastic. My hair is very long, fine and quite dry (years and years of colouring). The other brands I have tried have cleansed my hair ok but I hadn’t found a conditioner bar that actually felt like it worked. I have used this product a few times now and followed the instructions (on the inside of the minimal cardboard packaging) by holding the bar under the warm water for a few seconds to activate it and then rubbing the bar all over your hair from root to tip. Leave for a few seconds then brush through with a wide tooth comb and rinse. This is the first bar that has left my hair soft and detangled, previously my hair was matted and really hard to brush through when still wet. Very happy with this product and would highly recommend to anyone looking to make that switch.

I thought that I would give this a go as I’ve got very fine and very long hair (comes below the small of my back). I find that because it’s fine my roots become oily, but my hair is very dry at the ends. Most shampoos makes my scalp itchy and I use conditioner like it’s going out of fashion, but that’s also probably due to the fact that I have bleached my hair for years. I have tried multiple shampoos and conditioners over the years, including ones that have no silicone, parabens and all the other nasties.I thought that I would give this a go, didn’t have anything to lose. Having read a lot about shampoo bars before using, and reviews are a bit hit and miss and it seems that it also depends on how you wash your hair with them. There seemed to a lot of reviews saying about leaving their hair waxy and also the importance of using apple cider vinegar, which seems a bit drastic to me.So this is how I use it, wet your hair and ensure that is soaking wet, rub the soap in between your hands as you would a normal bar of soap. Once you have the bubbles rub it into the roots of your hair and keep doing this making sure you remember the back and sides of your hair. Then you just use as you would a normal shampoo, however I don’t incorporate the length of my hair, just the scalp and the roots. Then just rinse as normal, all the suds clean the rest of your hair as you’re rinsing.Here’s the bit I’m not that keen on, is that the length of my hair is “squeaky” which makes me feel that I’ve stripped the length.There are conditioner bars now, which I’ve also been using. Once all the shampoo has been rinsed out, I wet the conditioner bar, and rub, stroke down the length of my hair. I have to admit I found this slightly weird, as it doesn’t lather, and unlike a normal conditioner it looks as if it’s not going onto your hair, but it does. I leave it in while I finish my shower, which I would normally do, and then rinse out, then all done.What I’ve found is that, yes it does a decent job, my scalp doesn’t itch as much, my hair doesn’t feel “straw-like” and dry, and being slightly lazy, in that I don’t brush my hair until it’s dry and I don’t use a hairdryer, so when I brush my hair in the morning, no tangles which for me with long hair that’s very fine, is a large bonus.Don’t normally write reviews, so this is probably very long, but I also hope it helps. Give it a go, you may like it.

Was looking for a kind alternative to bottle conditioner and this works just as well. I just rub it over my washed hair and leave it for a minute or so then rinse. It rinses out really well and definitely makes my coloured hair softer. Pleasant smell too.

As you can see in photo I have posted, this hair conditioning soap bar is tiny, not even half the size of my mobile. I had thought it was a full size soap, so for the price not worth it.I don't know if it’s any good as it is to put in with my daughter in laws xmas as she’s done away with plastic bottles, but this won’t last long. Just hope it’s a brilliant conditioner.

Great product, lovely on my hair. I’ve tried one other conditioning bar and it wasn’t nearly as good as this one.This leaves my hair soft and I can easily get my brush through it after washing. It doesn’t leave my hair brittle, as the previous conditioning bar had done. I will be buying again for sure! And it’s plastic free which exactly what I was after.It smells good too. If not fake or overpowering. Super conditioning bar.
