The shampoo bar leaves my hair feeling clean and nice, but I find it quite difficult to use. I have to apply a lot of pressure to get it to lather, and unfortunately, that causes a noticeable amount of hair to fall out each time. The bar also loses its shape quickly and ends up melting in a pool of water—I keep it in a ceramic dish, so maybe I need the soap holder sold on the website, but it's a bit pricey. For context, I’m Asian with straight, fine black hair. According to the instructions, I might need to use conditioner before applying the shampoo bar. However, I’ve never needed conditioner before, and it’s not a cheap addition. Overall, I don’t hate using this shampoo bar—it does its basic job—and I think I will keep trying it for a few months, but I think there’s definitely room for improvement.
