    Effective and lovely to use

    I really like the Ethique Gentle Shampoo Bar! It leaves my hair clean, soft and fresh without feeling stripped or dry. It lathers really well and is so convenient to use.

    Great

    I am now on my second or third of these bars and decided to subscribe. It's a great replacement for shampoo in a bottle. Of course, because it is solid, it takes longer to wash your hair. But in my opinion, it's worth it to save plastic. I like that this one is unscented and works for a sensitive scalp.

    Try this shampoo, your hair will thank you later for it.

    Try this shampoo, your hair will thank you later for it.

    If you want your hair to feel great, look good and feel softer, try this shampoo.

    If you have sensitive skin (like me) and reacts to any harsh chemicals, this shampoo is gentle & nice.

    I highly recommend it.

    I love it.

    I am 65 years old and my hair is very oily. I searched for a shampoo that didnt leave my feeling oily. This soap is my life saver. My hubby loves it also. He is 67 and he is amazed after working on yard this shampoo gets his scalp clean with itching feeling
