    Clarifying Shampoo

    In my opinion, Ethique is the best quality shampoo bar available. I was a little hesitant to try the clarifying bar as my hair is actually on the dry side, and I thought it might be too drying. I decided to give it a try for the hot, humid summer days here in Florida. I absolutely love it! It does not dry or strip my hair at all, but it cleanses well. It has ginseng, a very beneficial herb, and I love the scent! I would love a companion conditioner bar as well!

    Waxy Residue

    I was so excited to use this bar and I wanted to love it, but I was so disappointed with the actual results…

    Pros: Smells wonderful, lathers great, and I love that it has plastic free packaging!

    Cons: After using the bar, I was left with a waxy residue all over my hair. I continued using the bar a few more times to see if it would go away, but the problem persisted and I was left with a mess in my hair that I’m now having a difficult time removing. It has left my hair with the appearance of looking greasy (which I thought the “clarifying” part was aimed at reducing).

    Thanks so much for your review — and we’re sorry to hear the Clarifying Shampoo Bar didn’t work out as you’d hoped.

    This bar is designed to break down oil and product build-up, so it may lather less on the first wash if there’s a lot for the formula to work through. A second shampoo (with less product) usually produces more lather, since there’s less oil left to cling to — it’s a small trick that often helps deliver a better clean.

    If your hair felt waxy or coated afterwards, that may be due to a bit too much product — our bars are super concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Using more than needed can make rinsing harder and leave behind residue, especially if the bar is rubbed along the full hair length rather than focused at the scalp.

    We really appreciate your feedback, and if you’d ever like help finding a better match for your hair type or routine, we’d love to help 💚

    Favourite for washing out products

    I use products sometimes in my hair and this gets my hair back to feeling great, removing the oil and any build up from products.

    I like it but don’t love it

    I took the hair quiz and my results were to get the clarifying shampoo and the smoothing conditioner. I didn’t really like the idea of combining two kinds but decided to try it. My hair is wavy, frizzy and gets oily if I don’t wash it every day. The mixture does seem to help a little bit but I don’t like how it makes my hair feel. It’s dryer and kind of sticky like there’s a residue on my hair. I still feel like it needs to be washed every day. I don’t know if combining the products works better for my hair than just using the matching types of each so it’s hard to know which I like better. I really like how they both smell though. Overall, I do like these but I don’t think they’re right for my hair. I also ordered the everyday shine one so I’ll try that next. I’m really hoping to find the right kind for me so I do plan to order again, I’ll just have to figure out which ones to try!

    Thanks so much for your honest review — and for giving both the Clarifying Shampoo and Smoothing Conditioner a try! We know combining different bars can feel like a bit of a leap, so we really appreciate you keeping an open mind.

    Our hair quiz is designed to help guide that first step, but it’s definitely not one-size-fits-all — especially with things like oiliness, frizz, and washing frequency all in the mix. It sounds like you're doing exactly the right thing by trying different combinations to find the best fit, and we hope the Everyday Shine bars are a better match for your hair goals.

    Thanks again for sharing your experience — and we’re cheering you on while you experiment your way to your perfect pair! 💚
