HIBARCurl Shampoo & Conditioner Set - For Curly Hair - Define, Cleanse & Nourish - Babassu, Pracaxi Butter & Curl Complex - Plastic, Soap, Paraben & Sulfate-Free - Color Safe & Vegan - 2 Solid Bars

I practiced cosmetology for over 30 years. I am not a chemist so this is a review of thevisual results I saw after using four of the formulas over several months. I was shocked how good the HiBAR product and customer service is.I contacted the company by email with questions and received a prompt response.This is a list of what I watch out for when trying new products and what happened when I used HiBAR.Over-the-counter shampoosusually seem ok at first butquickly build up, cause damage or allergic reactions.Many of the eco-friendly shampoos don't lather or leave the nasty residue after the first use.Even expensive salon products can build up over time. Manyare heavy. Allergic reactions can still happen due to all the color and frangrance they use to get your attention.I had none of these issues with. HiBAR. It gave lots of lather. My hair looked healthy and shiny.No itch... no residue...no damage.I purchased the sampler first.The GREEN....seemed to be for normal hair.I think it will work for most hair types. It cleans well. It conditions without being heavy. If you're trying HiBAR for the first time this is probably a safe bet.The BLUE......seamed to be for dry hair. It's a heavier conditioning without being greasy. It pulled the curl out of my fine hair but that's not hard to do. It will be good for people that need smoothing. I would try this if you have thick hair, wiry hair or really dry hair. This will work well if you flat iron. I would try it on tight curls or if you want wavy hair to air dry straighter.The YELLOW....seems to be a thickening formula. It left my hair dry. That's not a bad reflection on the shampoo. Thickening salon formulas work the same way. They usually have a higher pH to blow out the cuticle for a fuller look. I only use thickening formulas on clients with thinning hair. I'd try this if coverage is your main concern. If your hair is thin, fine and short you may like this. Otherwise I would use the green formula and only condition the ends for fine hair.The PINK.......curly hair formula.It's exceeded my expectations.It gave more curl to my fine hair. It knocked out the frizz. It left my hair shiny and conditioned without being heavy. You may want to try this for any hair type if you're looking for a bouncy conditioned style. I wouldn't be surprised if it worked well on straight styles on some textures.If you have tight curls or thick hair I'd also try the blue formula to see which gives the effect you want.

I’ve tried a few brands of bar S/C but they always leave my hair feeling like straw. I received the full size version of this brand as a gift and I love it. I bought these for traveling which are perfect. I have long curly hair which I get bleached for highlights and dyed with bright red color, so I need S/C that are super hydrating. This brand definitely covers that. My hair is always soft and it smells nice, not overpowering. I can’t really tell whether it’s actually ‘color safe’ because my bright red dye ‘leaks’ with just water alone, however I haven’t really noticed a difference in how fast my hair fades.

Let me start by saying these are good products. They smell good, they leave my hair feeling lightweight, moisturized, and clean. And they will last a while, I wash my hair once maybe twice a week and they haven’t shrunk much.They lose a star for me because by the time I’ve lathered the shampoo and conditioner in, I’ve more than exceeded the amount of water I was trying to save by switching from liquid s&c.It’s unfortunate, I wanted to try and make little changes for the environment but my hair is just too thick for it. They do come in a completely recyclable package if I remember correctly, so I think the company is environmentally conscious. I can’t speak for the products they use IN the bars, but mine (the blue ones) smell pleasantly of lemon - not the artificial sweet smelling lemon but true lemon.Give them a try if you’re wanting to, they’re good products, just not for the sheer amount of hair I have.

I bought the Hibar deodorant, shampoo and conditioner. I tried the deodorant first, and it didn’t work for me at all!So I steered clear of the shampoo; until I decided to grab the bars for a work trip. Honestly, best shampoo I’ve tried in years! For reference, I’ve been using only the top formulas for my hair- olaplex, strum, and virtue. This actually worked so much better for my hair. My scalp gets oily pretty fast, and my hair has been very dry. No more. I’m loving my hair with this product.Will keep updating.

The shampoo and conditioner bars smell great, or at least the shampoo bar does but it's hard to tell for certain about the conditioner without getting my nose right up next to it as it doesn't produce much of a lather. (the shampoo bar doesn't have a strong lather, but it does get a little sudsy) This makes it hard to tell how much I have on my hands and how much I'm actually using once it's in my hair.I do like that these bars don't have any of the comm on ingredients that I've found strip my hair in the past leaving it dry, frizzy, or causing me to need extra washes or with dandruff, but while these bars don't cause me hair problems they don't do anything particularly special for it either. After using them for a few weeks (usually 3 times a week) my hair doesn't appear to have any improvements with volume or be any softer than with any other product.I wouldn't say they were worth the money and I personally wouldn't purchase a second time but unless my hair/scalp starts reacting poorly to them I'll probably use them until I run out or get tired of the extra effort with the conditioner.

I'm extremely allergic to fragrance. I struggle to find a product that truly does not contain fragrance. I found that these 2 bars of soap for my head work wonderfully. My hair is soft after using and it does not irritate my scalp. No real smell but it has a fresh scent nothing artificial, but no fragrance. I'm on my 2nd order and I will keep using. Takes a little time to get used to using a bar of soap on your hair, but once you get the knack no problem.

This set lasted me seven months and works amazingly well. Perfect for travel (I just throw them in a tin or a plastic bag) because they don't count toward the liquid limit.Takes a little extra lathering to get a suds than traditional liquid soaps but I think it's totally worth it and really not that different. My curls feel clean and hydrated.

Why did my shampoo arrived mouldy?
