Smell: I picked the coconut and argan oil scent, which is again, pretty subtle, but nice. Also, the ingredients list palm oil, which is a major driver of deforestation, and had I noticed it on the ingredient list, I would have skipped it altogether. However, I fell asleep before I could properly rate it dry, and when I woke up, my hair was wild, kind of greasy in a “didn’t wash out my conditioner” way, and just generally a little stiff. I can’t remember what conditioner was used that first go around, but the second time, I used the “control” conditioner and it went a bit better. The first time I used it, my hair felt like hay once it dried. Overall thoughts: This was the first (and then last, because I needed to check again) bar shampoo I used during this test. Squeakiness post-wash: SUPER squeaky after. I’d say it was the bar that got me from wet to fully lathered the fastest. Really gotta dig your nose in there to smell it, tbh.Īpplication & latherability: Very easy to apply. Smell: Subtle, kind of bar-soap like but not bad. So, ready to read about some bar shampoos?
