Ethique Gentle really is!

This is a review for the Ethique Gentle Unscented Shampoo Bar with Cocoa Butter. There are reviews for other Ethique shampoo bars here as well so I wanted to be clear.After deciding to reduce my use of plastic bottles, I started trying out solid shampoo and conditioner products. I tried a few different brands before deciding to try Ethique and I started with the St. Clements for oily hair. I've had an oily scalp and skin since puberty, but now I'm much older and am also growing my hair out, so the oiliness is all at the top of my scalp. As beauty experts tell us, stripping all oils just makes your body produce more, so I've been looking for a shampoo that doesn't do that. Unfortunately, the Ethique St. Clements dried my hair and scalp out severely to the point where my scalp itched all the time and the returning oils made my hair greasy again really fast, especially at the front where I'm growing out my bangs.It was frustrating to throw out a barely used bar of expensive shampoo, but I did it and bought the Ethique Gentle bar in the new quarter moon shape because my scalp was so, so unhappy. During my first shampoo with it, I could feel my scalp relaxing and my hair felt soft instead of "squeaky clean" (i.e. rough and dry). Combing out my wet hair was easy without using a conditioner and my dry hair was much softer than it had been. The quarter moon shape of the bar was also much easier to use than the square shape and washing my hair was all around more pleasant. But the true test came after several days when my scalp no longer itched and didn't produce a lot of oil. The hair at the top of my scalp was still fluffy and not oily after several days. I've only washed my hair twice so far with the Gentle bar, but the difference is huge. What a relief!It would be awfully nice if Ethique made travel/sample size bars of shampoo so we could test out different types without spending a bunch of money and maybe wasting product. I'm pretty sure a box of all the types in a small size would be a worthwhile product - friends could even share a box during their hunt for the shampoo that works best for them.

Repair and Hydrating Shampoos

Why did you pick this product vs others?:My hair responds well to “repair” care even though I don’t use products, color, or heat on my hair. I think the pictures are misleading because these new moon-shaped bars are huge! I have oily hair that smells nice and is soft after using, and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. I follow-up my wash with the Wonderbar conditioner from Ethique. I actually prefer the blue Hydrating bar for myself but the pink Repair bar works really well for my 6yo who has normal, fine hair. Both of us have fresh clean hair after using either bar and I love that it rinses out so easily to shorten bath/shower time.

Gentle Cleansing, Travels Well

I bought the kiwi scented ethique shampoo soap since I travel light and it doesn’t need to be in the quart bag for TSA. It is gentler than the liquid shampoosI have used before and definitely does not dry my scalp as other shampoos did so I am using it regularly. It has no fragrance that I can tell and I am fine with that. It is a chunky bar, a bit smaller than I thought, but enough of a cube-type that it fits easily in your hand and dries solid without dissolving to softness. I know it will last a long time with shampooing every couple days. Thanks for an excellent product!

Love the product, but didn’t last 80 washes

The good: I love the way this shampoo (Heali Kiwi) cleans my hair, and I love being able to pack a solid shampoo for extended travel.The bad: This bar does not last a full 80 uses for me. The first two photos are right out of the package. The last photo is what was left after 48 uses. I have thick, shoulder length hair, and I find that I need to rub the bar directly on my hair to get a good lather. I let the bar dry completely in between uses on a soap dish with drainage slats. I think the original square shape may last slightly longer, as the crescent shape’s ends break off more easily as it gets thinner. If you have a buzz cut, this would probably last 80 uses. Once the bar gets to little pieces like this, I find it much more difficult to rub and lather.Overall, this is a good splurge for my summer travels, but I’m not sure that I would choose it for everyday use due to the price per use.

GREAT as a dog shampoo!

I used this a couple of times for myself and it was neither here nor there, and definitely not something I’d go out of my way to write a review for. BUT I reached for this for my pit mix when I didn’t have any dog shampoo on hand, and it was AMAZING. He typically has a duller coat with some noticeable flakes of dry skin, and his fur has never looked healthier! My friend who met him for the first time commented on how shiny his coat is! I couldn’t be happier!

Darned small bar for the price

This is my first purchase of an Ethique product. I wanted to switch to a bar shampoo to reduce the amount of plastic in my home.I was startled at how small the bar of shampoo actually is. Geez. Not very much at all for the money. Unless the shampoo produces some incredible results, I won't be buying from this brand again.Yes, I realize it's supposed to last for quite a while, but geez, it's small.I'll update this review once I've used the bar for a while.
