Friendly Soap Natural Shampoo Bar - Lavender & Tea Tree - 95g

I tried this shampoo as a replacement to the shampoo bars offered by lush and did not like the results. It definitely left a residue in my hair which made my hair heavy and greasy quickly after drying. I continue to use this as an initial was and then a small amount of liquid shampoo to rinse off the residue so it has reduced my carbon footprint slightly. I won't be getting anymore unfortunately.

I used this bar a couple of times after purchase. Quite astringent, strips all oils from the hair. OK if you're going to only wash your hair weekly, as I do. rnrnHowever, I made the mistake of washing my face and neck with some suds still on my hands after lathering my hair. The tea tree oil in this bar reacted really strongly with the skin around my eyes and ears, and three weeks later the burns and red patches have not gone down. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, and have never had a reaction to tea tree products before, but this bar has ingredients which are way too strong for my skin. Have thrown the bar away and will not buy stuff from this manufacturer again.

This is an extremely good product. I have very dry hair but I now do not need to condition. The soap is gentle and creates lovely creamy suds which wash out easily and do not leave the hair feeling oily or 'sticky'. It lasts well and so I get lots of hair washes out of one bar. Another benefit is that it is very affordable and you don't end up wondering what to do with the packaging as it comes in a cardboard box. No plastic to worry about!. I've recommended it to everybody I know.
