    Hi Natalie,

    Sorry to hear you're not having the best success with our shampoo bar.
    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, 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!

    I hope this helps but if you are still having issues please feel free to contact us at hello@ethique.com and we will help find a solution for you.

    Thanks, Team @Ethique.

    Great everyday shampoo for oily hair!

    This shampoo is the best clarifying shampoo bar that's on the market, and I've tried a LOT of different shampoo bar brands! I have oily hair and need something to really clean my hair well so I don't have to wash it every single day. This bar does just that. I use it with the smoothing conditioner bar and my hair feels so soft and smooth!
