Product Information

This is a soap-free formula and evidently, Curly Girl Method approved (if you don’t know what that is, Google it and let the TikToks roll in) My HiBar lives on a makeshift soap stand that I made out of rubber bands and a mason jar lid, so that it isn’t stored in standing water. If you are looking for something more aesthetically pleasing, I suggest buying a bamboo soap stand, but my contraption works for me. I make sure to leave my bar in the driest place in my shower, away from direct spray, to ensure its longevity. HiBAR is beauty on a mission. That mission is to eliminate single-use plastic from our planet by formulating the best natural hair care and best natural skin care products out there. We hope to help you say ‘goodbye’ to plastic by trying our salon and spa-quality shampoo bars, conditioner bars, natural deodorant and facial cleanser bars made in Minnesota by people who care! You can save the planet, and look great doing it.

Vegan, Leaping Bunny certified, with no sulfates, parabens, dyes, lanolin, talcum, phthalates or silicones The conditioner starts with cetearyl alcohol which by the way, is an emollient (long-chain fatty acids, crazy right?) that adds “slip and glide” for easier detangling and comb-through I didn’t see negative side effects from using these bars like weighing hair down, breakage or increased fall out. Styling products: I use a leave-in heat treatment that is OK, but I kept it consistent the whole test so variables didn’t shiftCLAIM- lasts up to “over 80 washes” depending on how you use it, or “at least as long as a 16 oz bottle” The bar weighs about the same as a tennis ball, but its ergonomic design means it fits comfortably in my hand. The company suggests that you “cup the bottom of the bar in the palm of your hand, rest the long edge against the lengths of your fingers, then use your fingertips to guide the bevelled top through your hair.”

I liked the shape of both bars and also preferred the conditioner to the shampoo. But ultimately, I’m not currently finding myself reaching for them often. They’re a step up to other bars I’ve tried so far though. As I test more, this will shift…I also feel like the conditioner didn’t weight my hair down, but did make it feel silky when rinsing out I color my hair and didn’t see fading faster than it normally does so I’d say it follows through here
