What's in our CURL-DEFINING Shampoo Bar
Bit of a learners curve to bar shampoo- but overall good, I liked the lather, the scent isn’t too strong, and my waves looked good after styling
I absolutely love every Ethique shampoo and conditioner bar that I have tried so far and the curl-defining shampoo bar is no exception. I love the fresh lemongrass scent! Now that the weather is becoming much more humid here in the south, I thought I would try this bar. It delivers moisture and tames my coarse wavy hair! It totally eliminates frizz as well even if you spend hours outdoors! I don’t even need conditioner, but I am definitely purchasing the matching conditioner!
I actually switched to Ethique from HiBAR, because the teardrop shape of that shampoo bar was so impractical. First, I tried aerated soap sacks, which resulted in the bar becoming mushy and useless way too quickly. Then, I tried keeping them in their cardboard packaging, but the packaging disintegrated quickly. Ultimately, I switched to Ethique, which was a great quality shampoo bar in a normal, square shape. I bought the Ethique container with the ventilated bottom, and it worked like a charm. Now why on earth have you all have picked some other quirky & difficult-to-store shape for your formerly travel-friendly, gym shower tote-friendly shampoo bar? I just reordered and was super disappointed to find my new shampoo bar no longer fits the contained I bought from you. Sure, it looks neat, but it's totally impractical and not as easy to use. How am I supposed to hold it? Like a handle? Then I'm rubbing the narrowest part on my hair. Broadside? It flips around in your hand. And how is this going to wear down? With an awkward hole in the middle of the broadside or the wide part of the moon? Please reconsider this. It's a horrible design. Please also offer a travel container that actually fits the two bars I just bought, at least until you come to your senses and switch back. Here's hoping...
Hi Courtney,
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience — we really appreciate your thoughtful and detailed feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that the new bar shape hasn’t worked for you. It’s clear you’ve put real thought into how our products fit into your routine, and it’s feedback like this that helps us do better. While the updated shape was designed with use and drying in mind, we know it’s not hitting the mark for everyone — particularly around storage and portability — and that’s something we’re actively reviewing.
The good news: a new dual-purpose container (for both travel and in-shower use) is on the way and is due to launch late 2025. We hope it helps address at least part of your concerns in the meantime.
Thanks again for being so open with your feedback — and for giving Ethique a go in the first place.
— Team Ethique
Hubby uses this one and he is a very simple guy. He actually likes it.
I've been using this product for ~2 years now, and I'm very satisfied with how soft my hair feels after using it! The new bar shape is also nice to quickly lather the entire scalp. The new packaging contains metallic decals and has the "recycling" symbol on the bottom as opposed to any of the more classic "compositing" symbols, but I have been assured by customer service that the packaging is still safe for home composting.
