FAQ

It’s solid, for a start—no bottle, no waste, and no extra water like you’ll find in liquid shampoo. The unique shape makes it easy to hold onto in the shower (no slippery soap-drop routine), and it’s packed with hair-loving extras like ginger oil, cinnamon, and vitamin B5. You still get a rich lather, just without that heavy, coated feel some liquid shampoos leave behind—especially on fine hair.

Yep. It cleans well enough to lift the roots but won’t weigh the rest down. The bit of salt in there gives your strands a touch of texture, and the vitamin B5 helps smooth the surface so light bounces off better—hello, fuller-looking, shinier hair.

It is. No harsh sulfates here, so it won’t strip colour or make fragile hair feel like straw. Instead, it relies on mild cleansers and essential oils to get rid of buildup.

Longer than you’d think. One shampoo bar lasts three bottles of liquid shampoo—depending on how often you wash and how you store it. Let it dry between uses and it’ll stick around for months, even with regular washes. Bonus: it’s travel-friendly—no leaks, no plastic, and carry-on friendly.

It’s great for most hair types, but especially fine hair that needs a lift without losing softness. But it’s not picky—straight, wavy, short, long, natural, coloured, most hair types are fair game.

Great product

Lovely shampoo and easy to use. I don't find it overly volumising, but it certainly doesn't weigh my hair down like lots of other products do

Stays goopy and doesn't last very long.

I love the smell, the lather, the way my hair feels, as a shampoo I think it's great for my hair and scalp. All that to say, something isn't quite right. I am wondering if something major changed in the recipes when Ethique switched to the half moon shape? I've been using Ethique for a few years now and all 3 bars I've bought since the shape change have stayed pretty wet and gooey. After I use it I rinse extra suds off set it on a soap saver out of the water to dry but it doesn't, even though I'm the only one using it. The wall under it has a gooey orange trail where it has leaked through the soap dish between uses (even though the suds have been rinsed off). Naturally, it seems like I'm going through these much quicker than when they were the round disks, even though I don't wash my hair every day.

Loyalty Rewarded

I switched to a liquid shampoo - a former favorite - when my Volumising Shampoo Bar finally gave up the ghost. Switching is good, right? Keep an open mind, don't get into a shampoo rut, etc. etc. Well, never again! Limp strands, and how can this hair be both flyaway and coated with product?? My new order arrived promptly and I'm back to the pure-and-easy orange bar and I love it! Thank you, Ethique!

Bar lasts a long time. Scent is nice and not too strong.
