HiBAR - Maintain Shampoo & Conditioner Set - For Well-Balanced Hair - Cleanse & Nourish - Honey, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil & Vitamin B5 - Plastic, Soap, Paraben & Sulfate-Free -Color Safe -2 Solid BarsCompact by Design (Amazon-developed Certification)

These bars lather quickly - I only need ~4 swipes on my hair and I find that is sufficient for a great lather and sometimes more since I have some of the product in my palms. My hair does not break much using this product. And even better, it is so eco-friendly and you can easily travel by air with them since they’re not a liquid!

I practiced cosmetology for over 30 years. I am not a chemist so this is a review of thevisual results I saw after using four of the formulas over several months. I was shocked how good the HiBAR product and customer service is.I contacted the company by email with questions and received a prompt response.This is a list of what I watch out for when trying new products and what happened when I used HiBAR.Over-the-counter shampoosusually seem ok at first butquickly build up, cause damage or allergic reactions.Many of the eco-friendly shampoos don't lather or leave the nasty residue after the first use.Even expensive salon products can build up over time. Manyare heavy. Allergic reactions can still happen due to all the color and frangrance they use to get your attention.I had none of these issues with. HiBAR. It gave lots of lather. My hair looked healthy and shiny.No itch... no residue...no damage.I purchased the sampler first.The GREEN....seemed to be for normal hair.I think it will work for most hair types. It cleans well. It conditions without being heavy. If you're trying HiBAR for the first time this is probably a safe bet.The BLUE......seamed to be for dry hair. It's a heavier conditioning without being greasy. It pulled the curl out of my fine hair but that's not hard to do. It will be good for people that need smoothing. I would try this if you have thick hair, wiry hair or really dry hair. This will work well if you flat iron. I would try it on tight curls or if you want wavy hair to air dry straighter.The YELLOW....seems to be a thickening formula. It left my hair dry. That's not a bad reflection on the shampoo. Thickening salon formulas work the same way. They usually have a higher pH to blow out the cuticle for a fuller look. I only use thickening formulas on clients with thinning hair. I'd try this if coverage is your main concern. If your hair is thin, fine and short you may like this. Otherwise I would use the green formula and only condition the ends for fine hair.The PINK.......curly hair formula.It's exceeded my expectations.It gave more curl to my fine hair. It knocked out the frizz. It left my hair shiny and conditioned without being heavy. You may want to try this for any hair type if you're looking for a bouncy conditioned style. I wouldn't be surprised if it worked well on straight styles on some textures.If you have tight curls or thick hair I'd also try the blue formula to see which gives the effect you want.

My hair: very fine, wavy, currently long (mid shoulder blades), medium-thin, salt and pepper, and I wash every other day and condition dailyPros:- This doesn't leave my hair too dry or too heavy and oily, even on days I only condition.- It smells kind of like clean laundry, which is fine for me. More importantly, the smell washes away when I rinse and isn't hanging around all day. (I've returned products that have left scents of apples, coconut, cupcakes, and grandpa cologne lingering for hours or even days after my shower. I'm not allergic, but I can be sensitive to fragrances, and I'd rather choose to wear any than be stuck with it in my hair.)- The conditioner lasts quite a while. Usually I run out of conditioner before shampoo, since I use it every day but don't wash every day.- Reduces liquids for travel packing. (I put mine in a plastic bag, which I know isn't as eco friendly, but it works.)- Less plastic packaging and fuel costs for weight of transport than regular shampoo and conditioner.Cons:- Kind of pricey, depending on your usual range of haircare product costs. Definitely more than others I buy.- Lasts about as long as regular bottles of shampoo and conditioner but not longer, especially the shampoo.- A bit of a learning curve, but it wasn't too hard.

Love the maintain line, easy and great for traveling! Plus leaves your hair feeling great! Switching to my normal shampoo now!

I have mixed feelings about this product. I really like that the packaging is all either paper or cardboard. The shampoo is good. It cleans my hair well and lathers very nicely. I want to like the conditioner, but I just don't. It doesn't work well. I end up having to use a leave-in conditioner in order to get a brush through my hair. For context I do have fairly long thick wavy hair. If my hair was short or finer, it would probably be fine.

Why did my shampoo arrived mouldy?
