EVERYDAY SHINE Shampoo Bar

I've been using the everyday shine shampoo bar and the hydrating conditioner bar for a few weeks now. I've tried shampoo bars in the past that left my hair feeling gritty and unclean (this was a different brand than Ethique), so I was a bit skeptical/worried when a friend of mine suggested these ones. However, I am SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED with both the shampoo and conditioner bar. My hair feels so clean, and there's no gritty/grimy feeling that I experienced with that other brand. I also tend to have oily roots and dry ends (which is why I mix-and-matched the shampoo and conditioner bar), so I wash my hair every day. After just one week, I found that I wasn't waking up with oily hair in the morning, and my hair felt fuller and healthier than the name-brand shampoo bottle I was using previously. I truly am impressed, and I love these bars. I will definitely continue purchasing these products and highly recommend them to anyone who's feeling a little skeptical or who hasn't had success with shampoo bars in the past. These are the BEST!

This was my first purchase with the new rebrand and I will say that the new shape of the bar is great! This shampoo bar lathers soooo well (almost too much). But I'm happy to say that I'll get lots of use out of it. I also noticed after the first wash that my hair was extremely smooth. However, two things that I'm not a fan of is the overpowering sweet candy smell of the bar itself. It doesn't leave that smell in your hair (not that I noticed), but the smell of the bar alone is too much for me. You can smell the scent through the box...yeah, it's that strong. The other thing that I wasn't a fan of is how the new shape doesn't fit in the travel tins, which is pretty disappointing to me. I got one a few years back and recently for a friend, and now I can't use the travel case with the bar as is. Don't get me wrong, I like the new shape, but I wish in the design process they had considered the dimensions of the travel case so that we can still use them. I know they suggest cutting the bar, but I would have rather have a bit less product if it had allowed the new bar shape to fit in the travel tin.
