Review: Better than expected, great for sensitivities - I've been wanting to try out shampoo/conditioner bars, but I didn't want to shell out for a full size bar if I wasn't going to like it. I love this sampler because if I can try out several different scents/formulas before really committing to one, and without wasting an entire bar if it doesn't end up working for me. So far, I've only tried the Heali Kiwi shampoo bar and the Guardian conditioner bar, and I'm thrilled with the results. I have very fine, silky hair (mostly straight with a slight wave to it) that can turn limp/flat/greasy at the drop of a hat. I was not expecting these bars to magically change the nature of my hair, and they didn't, but I do feel that my hair didn't get greasy/limp as quickly as it has with other shampoos. I also didn't have any issues with soap build up, it all rinsed out just fine. What I was very impressed with was how soft my hair was after, and how I was able to brush my hair immediately after washing it and while it was still wet, which is not something I can usually do after using normal shampoo. My hair also has almost no tangles at all right now, and I spent most of today out on a motorcycle. Normally, my hair would be knotted like crazy by now even without having spent time out on the bike. Overall, I am very happy with these bars; I'm even pleasantly surprised, because all I had been expecting/hoping for was that they wouldn't be worse than the shampoo and conditioner I've been using. My only wish is that the scent would be just a little stronger, but that's honestly not a downside. I'd rather they have a faint smell because of natural ingredients than a strong, lingering smell because of unnecessary ingredients. Note: I have multiple health issues, including hashimoto's thyroiditis. I'm very sensitive to certain ingredients and the bars I used have not given me any issues thus far.
Review: A great way to try this product line - I have been looking for a shampoo bar brand that works for me and with this, I think I've found it. When I started this search, I really was only looking for something that would make carry-on travel a little easier, but these products are so nice that I may switch to them full time. This sample kit came with both conditioners and two of the shampoos that I was wanting to test and all smell wonderful (unlike another line of shampoo bars that I tried in this same quest). The scents for all of them seem to have common themes of citrus and coconut. Of this set, the St. Clements is definitely my favorite shampoo. I have fine, medium thick, slightly wavy hair and it doesn't take much to weight it down. I have an oily scalp, but sometimes have dry ends. The most I ever make it on a wash is two days (and that's with a really good shampoo the first day and dry shampoo on the 2nd). I found that the St. Clements shampoo does a good job of controlling scalp oils and leaves my hair feeling very nice. And I can make it through that second day with my usual dry shampoo routine. The Heali Kiwi shampoo is not bad, and I like my hair on the day of washing, but I can't make it through a second day without re-washing. My hair was a little too oily for me to risk it. I haven't tried the Frizz Wrangler because I don't really need any help smoothing, but I'll probably eventually try it out just for curiosity's sake. I like both of the conditioners, but I think my favorite ended up being the Wonderbar. The first time I used it, I wasn't sure it was enough conditioner. It seemed a little lighter than I was used to. But, if I leave it on my hair a little longer before rinsing, it did leave my hair nice and soft after it was dry. And, while it didn't detangle in the shower quite as much as my bottled conditioner, I didn't have any trouble combing through my wet hair when I got out. The guardian conditioner is nice as well, and would probably work really well for those who need extra moisturizing. While it's not as heavy as I feared it would be, it's a little heavy for me to use with every wash. But I could see using it once a week or so, just for some extra treatment. I ended up purchasing full sized versions of the St. Clements and the Wonderbar, and I also bought the Sweet and Spicy shampoo (not in this set). I do wish that they offered sample sizes of all of their products so that I could only buy the ones I am interested in trying, but this set has a pretty good variety to give you a feel for what their product line is like.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I will be traveling for 19 days, changing locations every 3-4 days .how do you pack/store these while traveling?**
A: Hey Jana,

Our Discovery Packs are perfect travel companions – you don’t have to lug around all that extra water, you can take it on the plane in your carry-on, and there’s zero chance of it exploding in your suitcase. The best storage solution is the one you already own! So, anything out of your reusable container cupboard that fits the airtightness bill will get the job done. We’ve seen very cute options like old tobacco or candy tins, too. Just make sure your bars are totally dry before you put them in, otherwise you’ll arrive with a container full of mush.

Tips for speed drying your bars in a hurry
When time is of the essence and you have a plane to catch shortly after using your bar in the shower, a few speed drying hacks will come in handy! Not even the best storage solution will help the drying process and if you were eyeballing the hair dryer, just don’t. Using heat to dry your bar will melt it and nobody wants that.

Tip #1: If you are in a hurry, pop your bar on a flannel or towel near an open window and get that airflow going while you finish packing and getting ready. Just don’t forget to grab it before you go!

Tip #2: If you have access to a hot water cupboard where the hot water cylinder resides, this will be a welcome time-saver. Lie your bar flat on a flannel or towel and shut the cupboard, but don’t forget to retrieve it on your way out.

Super easy right? Allowing your bars to drain and dry before popping it into your storage container of choice is pretty much all you need to keep your bar with you throughout your travels. That, and not leaving it behind!

Thanks 
Team Ethique

**Q: Is this made in the usa?**
A: Thanks for asking Kathy! All our clever wee bars are made in New Zealand.

**Q: I purchased the sample pack for dry hair and both shampoos left my hair feeling like straw. Is there a better bar that doesn't do this?**
A: Thanks so much for letting us know how you're getting on, although I'm sorry to hear you're hair is left feeling like straw! I'd love to help you out with this. 

Sometimes if customers change up the way they're using the product, they find they get much better results. I've copied some details down below for how to best use our shampoo & conditioner bars, which may help you out. :)

Our bars are very concentrated and only a small amount of product is needed. We recommend thoroughly wetting your hair (and wetting the bar too), gently swiping it just a few times from root to tip (4-5 times), then placing the bar down and building up a lather with your fingers. As tempting as it is to, there's no need to keep swiping the bar to hair until a lather begins to build; by this stage, it's likely that too much product has already been deposited to strands. If you have oily hair, we recommend washing twice - the second time, you should get a deeper cleanse and more lather with only a tiny amount of product. Another common issue is that customers will lather the bar in their hands like soap however this doesn't give you enough product at all and you'll essentially be cleaning your hands instead!

Similarly, only a few swipes of our conditioner bars are needed (4-5) - hair won't feel slippery on application the way it will with liquid conditioners, but the silky magic happens when the conditioner is rinsed out.

If you have thick hair, to make applying product on easier, I'd recommend sectioning hair into two or four, and rubbing the bar on each section to make sure there is enough product distributed - in saying this a little goes a long way, so make sure you aren't using too much! 😊

I hope the above tips helps out! 

~Maisie

**Q: How do these work with hard water?**
A: Hi Mimi,

Thanks so much for your question about hard water! 

Hard water only affects soap-based products. As our shampoo bars are 100% soap-free, they should be perfectly fine and won't leave any residue due to the water. 

A lot of shampoo bars on the market do contain soap, which leave a waxy-textured residue on the hair as the pH level of soap is much higher than that of hair (too alkaline). This is why some manufacturers of such shampoo bars sometimes recommend following washes with an apple cider vinegar rinse - the acidity of the vinegar is meant to neutralize the alkalinity of the soap in these bars in order to prevent the residue from forming. It is highly likely that this soap residue was the cause of the waxiness issues you've experienced with shampoo bars in the past, especially in combination with hard water.

Ethique's shampoo bars, however, are just that: shampoo without the water. They are 100% soap-free and formulated at a pH level which is complementary to human hair (pH level 4.5 - 6, depending on the water). This means no residue or build-up will form! Our shampoo bars are simply salon-quality shampoos, with the unnecessary water component removed. 

Hope this helps! Have a great day, and don't hesitate to let us know if we can help with anything else!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great way to try out a variety of shampoo/conditioner bars
*by T***N on February 5, 2021*

I've tried shampoo bars before and wasn't impressed with them but decided I wanted to stop using the plastic bottle shampoo and conditioners (both for environmental concern and because I plan on travelling in the future so I wanted something that would be easier to take on trips). The sample pack arrived quicker than anticipated in a box (thankfully not plastic packaging but I know other reviews have mentioned it. If you want the best environmental packaging for the product, your best bet is ordering directly from their site). Having used these sample sizes with a variety of combinations, here is what I noticed. My hair type: fine, wavy (2A/2B), frizzy, chest-length, oily scalp and dry ends First impression: I liked the small trial sizes as a way to sample the different products as well as labels being underneath them so you knew what each one was and what it was targeted towards. Initially I was a bit worried because they smelled waxy (except for the Frizz Wrangler one which was more Coconut). Use: What I've found that works best for my hair is as follows. First you have to get your hair super wet, for me I just leave my hair under the shower for 30 seconds or so then take the bar and create a lather in my hands and swipe that through my hair. I follow that with a rinse THEN take the bar and swipe it over my head (focusing on the top of my head, not the ends) 4 times. From there I build a lather in my hair and massage for about 30 seconds then rise. Follow up with a few swipes of the conditioner bars on the ends, leave for a minute or two, then rinse in lukewarm/cool water. Combination #1: St. Clement's and The Guardian: I have an oil scalp and dry ends so naturally I wanted to try both items that were targeted towards those concerns. With the shampoo bar there was a TON of later, it was probably the easiest out of the 3 to lather up. My hair felt squeaky clean after using it. The conditioner bar gave the feeling of an actual conditioner in my hair so I knew my ends were moisturized. However, after my hair dried it was SUPER shiny but my waves were pretty much nonexistent and my hair didn't have much volume (keep in mind I only used the conditioner on the ends of my hair below my chin). I also noticed that I didn't have much frizz and my hair smelled AMAZING! This combination had the best scent payoff in my hair after washing, but it faded away by day 2. I went 3 days until my next wash but my hair was greasy by the end of the following day after washing my hair. Combination# 2: Heali Kiwi and Wonderbar: Thinking I needed moisture just toned down, I chose this conditioner and think it gave the best results out of the two. The shampoo, however, I wasn't a fan of. It did lather pretty good but left my hair squeaky clean- even more so than the St. Clements. My hair had a light tropical scent that was gone as soon as it dried but wasn't overpowering after the shower. I did notice a lot of wave definition with this combination, but also a lot of frizz. Unlike the first combination I was only able to go 2 days without washing. My hair was a greasy mess by the end of day 1 and my scalp was incredibly itchy. This was probably my least favorite combination. Combination #3: Frizz Wrangler and the Guardian: I used this shampoo bar with a bit of trepidation, not super impressed with the samples so far (and not to mention I wasn't a fan of the coconut scent) but this one surprised me. The lather was good but no squeaky clean feeling, it just felt clean. The conditioner didn't seem to work well with the shampoo though since my ends felt a little too moisturized in comparison with the rest of my hair. It didn't help much with the frizz but my waves looked great, I had pretty good volume, and my hair had a clean scent that lasted until my next wash. I went 3 days without washing using this combination. Combination #4: Frizz Wrangler and Wonderbar: I was reading other reviews and saw this was someone's favorite combination so I figured I would give it a shot. This washday was the best thusfar. The shampoo again didn't give a too-clean feeling and the conditioner was the perfect level of moisture. I actually noticed less frizz than the last washday with this combination and probably the best wave definition I've had with this sample pack. This one was my favorite combination out of all of them Combination #5: St. Clements and Wonderbar: Similar to the first time I used St. Clements, my hair had great shine but still weighed down. My ends didn't feel overly nourished but had the right amount of moisture. My scalp got super greasy super fast. I had to wash my hair on day 2. Combination # 6: Heali Kiwi and The Guardian: The best-smelling but one of the worst wash days of the group. Itchy and greasy scalp with overly moisturized ends were not it. I ended up washing my hair on day 2 because it was too much. Conclusion: I've used the Frizz Wrangler and Wonderbar combination a few times in a row now and I am pleased with the results I've gotten from these two. I'll probably purchase the full sizes soon but these bars are still holding up pretty well so it may be a while. These sizes would be great for travel and also to try out Ethique products without committing to the full sizes just yet. Considering it's $15 for 5 sample bars that's a great deal. I'm so impressed with this brand and what they stand for I am definitely a loyal customer now and can't wait to try more products by them!
