HiBAR Soothe Conditioner Bar

2 reviews

I have struggled with an inflamed scalp almost my entire life. And of the DOZENS of products I had tried over the decades, this (with the shampoo bar) is the only thing that has worked for longer than a year. On top of that, jt goes really well with my curly hair and brings out my curls unlike any other product.

I bought this because I have been trying to reduce my plastic usage, but really need a conditioner. To be clear I use a LOT of conditioner from root to ends because I have a severely damaged scalp that does not produce enough of its own natural oils anymore, to the point my scalp gets dry and painful.

I used a true soap-based natural liquid shampoo from Dr. Bronner and my hard water left my hair so hard to brush minerals reacting with soap) that I could not use it again. So I bought a Bestowed Essentials ACV Shampoo Bar from here on EH, and then this conditioner bar. Shampoo bar worked a lot better with my water, and this conditioner bar DID make it somewhat easier to brush my hair afterwards.

However, where it fell short for me is after a couple weeks of usage m hair was progressively getting weighted down to the point it looked like it was very unwashed. While I do use alot of LIQUID conditioners, the solid nature of bars had already reduced my usage as-is. I know I rinsed well too.

Not sure why but this just did not work for me personally. It may work well for someone else with another hair situation though, which is why I don's just rate it 1 star. Good brand, great concept and packaging, just did not work for me.
