For years I’ve been intrigued by shampoo bars but also very skeptical. The concept is a little hard to wrap my brain around since our brains have been trained that shampoo is supposed to be a liquid. I was super excited when I got the opportunity to tyr J.R. Liggett’s hair care line. They sent me a sampler that contains one of each of their shampoo bars in a .65 oz mini sized bar.
The sampler is perfect for trying different formulas and finding the ones you like. The tiny bars are also great for travel! Since they are solid, you don’t have to worry about them contributing to how many ounces of liquid to can take on an airplane or about any potential leaks in your travel bag.
The bars come in six different formulations to suit all different types of hair. They include Original Formula, Herbal Formula, Jojoba & Peppermint Formula, Moisturizing Formula, Tea Tree & Hemp Oil Formula and Virgin Coconut & Argan Oil Formula. All J.R. Liggett’s products are free from SLS, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, animal products, soy products, gluten, GMOs, preservatives, artificial colorants, and dairy products. Their all-natural hair care formulations are safe for color-treated, permed, colored, or curled hair. Additionally, the formulations are gentle which makes them great fro those with allergies or sensitivities.
I’ll be honest, it felt a little strange the first time using a bar of soap on my head. I didn’t think it would lather well but it did! The shampoo left my hair feeling really soft and shiny and I was actually quite impressed! It got my hair and scalp clean without over drying it at all. J. R. Liggett’s also makes Conditioner Bars which I definitely need to try as they are perfect for pairing up with the shampoo bar. There are over 35 other products from the brand including lip butters, shaving foam and another innovative product — Body Oil in a Bar!
The founders are a husband and wife team committed to creating environmentally friendly and safe products using only the highest quality ingredients.
