Friendly Soap Handmade Natural Lavender & Geranium Shampoo Bar - Relaxing, Rich, Nourishing 95g, 1 unit

Good product, great smell. I use it to repel emus, since grating it and spreading it on my lawn, we have been emu free. My wife does think that we didn't have an emu problem to start with, meh, what does she know? Highly recommended.

Lathers up very easily in hair and feels luxurious, very easy to use, smells great. I was looking to reduce plastic bottles in the bathroom and tried this as my first shampoo bar. It is a fantastic addition to the bathroom. While using the bar, it feels easiest to tilt my head forward and stroke the bar over my short hair back to front, so my arms don't reach as high up, but that just causes a bit of soapy water to go over my face and mildly irritates my eyes. That is a user problem, though. Just remember to tilt your head back when using and it's no different from any other shampoo that I might use. It is very strong soap, and might be more drying than bottle shampoo if you're used to that. You might find additional conditioner helpful in your hair routine if your hair is longer than a standard mens short back and sides. I find it leaves my hair quite soft, but my partner finds it leaves their hair feeling drier than usual. I'd have no problems buying this brand again, but trying a different scent as the eucalyptus scent has not been a big hit in the family. Again, that's a personal preference and not a problem with the bars scenting.

Worked really well but did leave my fingers feeling a little waxy for a few minutes after use but other than that it’s great!

I wanted to try shampoo bars for multiple reasons (less plastic, bathroom space, ease of travel and space and weight considerations) and I bought 6 different bars from different manufacturers, this being one of them. I wanted to love this one due to size (95g versus other bigger bars for travel), cost (£2.95 at time of purchase versus other more expensive bars), minimal very basic packaging simply a cardboard box lacking even the varnish coating making it eco friendly, and as a bonus it was made by a local British company. As I say WANTED to love this and give it 5 stars ......but I just can't. This was the 3rd bar I tried of the 6 I bought and is so far the worst to the point of being unusable. I've been using shampoo bars now for a while and having no issues with them. I finally started using this one just before I went on holiday and took it with me. First use at home I thought I had just been rushing and not fully washed it out as there was a slight tackyness to my hair after my hair dried. No big deal. Took it away on holiday and big problems. Put it on, lathered up beautifully but the second I got it back under the water to wash it out it seized. My hair went like concrete and I could barely get my fingers through it to try and wash it out. I put it down to different water and much lower water pressure than I'm used to but had to stand in the shower for a good 20 minutes just trying to get it out of my hair. Again once there was a tacky film all over my hair with then was itching by the next morning. Tried again the next night and same problem. At this point gave it up as a bad job and had to go find a pharmacist to buy some bottled shampoo. Used that and my hair was immediately back to being silky soft, smooth and lovely to touch. Came home and tried the bar again with good water pressure (and in an area near where it's made so the water should work for the product!) and again sad to say the same issues though to a slightly lesser degree. I've now attempted to use this bar 8 times and every time it's resulted in the same problems. So yeah wanted to love this product and support a local company but I just can't recommend buying this at all.

I am pleasantly surprised at how soft this leaves my hair. It is easy to use. I just wet the soap bar and rub underneath my hair onto my scalp, It lathers well and feels nice. I have the un-fragranced bar as get skin irritation from perfumes and linalool. It is surprisingly hard to find many products that omit linalool. I have been using shampoo bars for 4 to 5 years now and I am so pleased I can make this small step to reduce plastic bottle waste. I hadn't tried this brand before so decided to give it a go and very pleased I did. This also has the advantage of being a better price, as some of the shampoo bars are quite expensive, but it is still a really nice shampoo. It comes in a cardboard box and absolutely no plastic in the packaging! Hooray! I realise I had just presumed that shampoo had to come in a bottle , but now I have adapted my habits and now find it easier to have a bar of shampoo. It is much easier to travel with too. No leaking into your wash bag or messing about at the airport with a liquids bag! It also says it is made in the UK, so hopefully reducing those travel miles and associated CO2!!

Wasn’t my favourite shampoo bar. Felt it stripped everything out my hair. Great for using once a week to get rid of any build up but not for everyday use

I have been using this soap for 2 months now and really like it. I have short fine curly hair and it foams up really easily. I use it ever other day and it hasn't broken up, as you can see from the pictures it's barely got a dint in the soap so it seems like it will last quite a while. It's very mildly scented, which is fine by me, don't expect your hair to smell of lavender or Geranium, but it leaves my hair feeling clean. In fact it reminds me of how my hair felt after washing it as a child, probably before they started adding lots of rubbish to shampoos. I didn't rinse my hair with anything afterwards as the Friendly soap people suggest but just added some hair gel as usual and it dries just the same as with liquid shampoo. Will be buying more, very happy with the product.

I love Friendly Soap’s shampoo and conditioner bars and have been using them for a long while now. The shampoo lathers well and smells lovely (all of them!) and the conditioner bar I just run down my hair from top to bottom, massage in and rinse. After towel drying, I use a little vegan de-tangler on the ends of my hair, which is quite thick and curly and I spend hours in the swimming pool too. These products wash out the chlorine and keep my hair in good nick. The only minor nuisance is when you’re getting to the end of the bar and it splits, but that’s no more annoying than trying to extract the dregs from a bottle, and of course there is no plastic to dispose of, which would still be littering the planet in a few hundred years.

I've tried shampoo bars from several different artisans. This one is the best I've found so far. It lathers up easily and the scent is quite mild. My hair is not overly dry after using and I think the castor oil is a very helpful ingredient. Scalp also not dry. It seems a bit pricey but it also appears to last a bit longer than other bars I've tried. Just don't get carried away with the lather!

Ich habe länger gesucht und nach vielen vergeblichen Versuchen diese Shampoo Bar für meine Haare gefunden. Sie schäumt schön und ist für meine Locken gut geeignet. Man darf allerdings nicht vergessen, eine SAURE RINSE nach dem Waschen der Haare zu machen, vor allem wenn man kalthaltiges Wasser zuhause hat. Es kann sonst Kalkseife auf dem Kopf entstehen und das ist keine schöne Sache. (Ich mache die mit etwas Apfelessig und Wasser. Die Mischung gebe ich in eine alte Shampooflasche und schütte sie mir nach dem Haarewaschen einfach über die Haare. Am Ende noch eiskalt abspülen, damit alles schön glänzt, Fertig :o)) Es empfiehlt sich allerdings, zusätzlich zur Seife ab und zu eine Spülung für die Haare zu machen oder etwas Öl in die Haarspitzen zu geben. Sie werden sonst leicht trocken.

Te deja el cabello súper limpio y es amigable con el medio ambiente. Una vez te acostumbras a esto, si vuelves a usar shampoos comerciales sentirás el pelo como muerto de tanto químico.

Love Friendly brand and this one smells amazing!

Le mélange de lavande et de géranium donne bien le merveilleux parfum que j'espérais. Le concept du shampoing solide est tout à fait pratique. J'ai un problème avec le rinçage qui laisse mes cheveux collants et je suis obligée de procéder à un shampoing supplémentaire différent.
