I love this Shampoo Bar!

I've never used a shampoo bar before so I didn't really have any expectations going into using this product. I was lucky enough to be selected to try this shampoo bar in the Trial Teams. I love this shampoo bar so much! I've been using it over the past week or so and have seen great results! I have normal to oily hair and this shampoo bar cleansed thoroughly but did not strip my hair or make it too dry at all. My hair felt clean and balanced. I would 100% recommend this to anyone with similar hair to mine. It was really easy to use as well, following the instructions on the box and first wetting the bar, and then I rubbed it between my hands which created an awesome lather that was more than enough for my whole head. I will definitely repurchase this once I finish it as I love how small and compact it is, as well as how eco-friendly it is. There is no plastic at all! It will be ideal to travel with as it doesn't take up much space at all. I store my shampoo bar in a soap dish outside my shower so it doesn't get any water on it which would waste the product. Such as awesome shampoo bar!!! Also the smell is so nice and fresh! I use it with the Garnier Fructis Hair Food treatment as my conditioner and it was a perfect pairing! I'd also like to try the Watermelon version as well.

Tips: Follow the instructions and you'll get more than enough lather for your whole head. To keep the shampoo bar lasting for a long time, store it away from water, ideally outside the shower as it is activated by water which could waste product.

Different from your liquid shampoo

Prior to trialling this product I had never used a solid shampoo bar so I was unsure how effective it would be or what to expect. I have quite fine, straight and generally shiny hair. I wash my hair daily and so notice small differences quickly between brands and experiences. This product was a bit hard to initially lather - I tried both lathering it directly on my hair as well as rubbing it with my hands. But once lathered, it was easy enough to get it into the roots and wash. Perhaps I lathered too hard because I felt the shampoo bar left my hair looking quite dull. The result was similar to that of dry shampoo - quite stiff and actually somewhat hard to brush out. I liked that the shampoo bar was vegan and was a biodegradable alternative but unfortunately I won't be reaching for this product in a hurry.

Tips: Quite a strong shampoo bar formula - use sparingly. Not for everyday use.

Lovely scent, works well.

I've never used a shampoo bar before, so wasn't sure what to expect. It did everything it said it would. Left my hair feeling clean and soft, and with a lovely scent. Would definitely use again.

It really works!

Thank you BR for the opportunity to review Garnier Hair Food Shampoo Bar - Aloe Vera.

This little gem comes in a small green box and you can definitely smell the shampoo bar before opening. Easy instructions for use are on the packaging. No nasties/no plastic waste.

Upon opening the boxed packaging I found a tear drop shaped shampoo bar which fits easily in my hand. You simply wet your hair and the shampoo bar and rub the bar starting at the roots of your hair to the tips. I have long, thick coloured hair.

I am definitely not accustomed to using a shampoo bar other than bottled shampoo and I was skeptical. The shampoo bar lathers easily and smells amazing. After rinsing I follow up with Garnier Fructis Aloe Vera Hair Food Mask.

The first time I used I was overly thorough when rubbing the shampoo bar over the roots of my hair. Then upon massaging the shampoo into my hair/to the tips I swear I ended up with a Marge Simpson hair do. There was shampoo foam everywhere and it just kept giving! Definitely took a few rinses and lesson learnt.

After using the Garnier products together my hair looks shiny, healthy and smells amazing.

Tips: You do not have to cover every single root on your head :-)

Creamy lather

I was lucky enough to be chosen to review the Aloe Garnier Food Shampoo Bar and the Aloe Hair Food. It was the first time I had tried a shampoo bar, nice size and fits in your hand perfectly, I found that it lathers up thick and quite creamy so you don't need to use a lot. It's quite soft so finding a place to put it could be a problem as my shower is above my soap dish and it would literally just melt away quite quickly. I ended up taking it out of shower and leaving it to dry and then put it in small container. After shampooing I used the Aloe hair food to condition my hair. Great smell and I like the tub packaging, it can just be left on shower floor. I also like that you can just scoop the amount out you need and apply as needed. Blow dried my hair as normal and it looked great, hair was clean and soft but seemed to lack lustre. That evening my hair was quite lank looking and by the morning looked a little greasy and that it needed another wash, I only ever wash my hair twice maybe three times a week so was a little disappointed that it looked the way it did.

The BEST shampoo bar ever!

I would definitely recomend this shampoo bar, It feels really nice and soft in my hair and It smells amazing. First time I tried It was after colored my hair with henna and the bar rinsed perfectly all my henna mess. It is actually works better that any other shampoo bar that I have usted because does not make my scalp itchy or my wavy hair frizzy. Great product too if you are going on holidays as you do not have to take any bottle of líquid with you.

Tips: If you use in combination with aloe vera hair food multiuse treatment is a ten.

Good product, not for me.

I love a shampoo bar. I have gone through countless Lush bars, love them enough that I have a dedicated bar holder in my shower.

My hair: brown, very long, fine, frizzy, 2A crankshaft curl pattern. Not coloured. No scalp concerns.

PROS: Nice hard bar, didn't get mushy in the shampoo bar holder in my shower. I used it with my shampoo massage brush to work up a nice big lather. It has a very fresh scent that stays in my hair for ages. It made my hair very voluminous, but not floofy looking.

CONS: I think I have a sensitivity to Aloe, I tried the Hebal Essences Potent Aloe shampoo once and got lots of painful blind pimple type bumps on my scalp, which I put down to a change in medication at the time. Unfortunately I had the same reaction over the couple of weeks I've used this product. I've used the matching conditioner with no trouble for three months, but I keep conditioner off my roots usually. I also felt like the bar was leaving a coating on my hair, like I have styling wax in my hair after I rinse the shampoo out of my hair. I have used solid conditioners before too and they didn't have that odd feeling. I didn't feel it once my hair was dry. On days I didn't follow with conditioner my hair was tangly and hard to get a comb through.

I think it's decent, easy to buy at the supermarket, I might try again to see if it was just the aloe one.

Easy to use shampoo bar

The bar was super easy to use and foamed really quickly. I always shampoo twice and only needed to brush the bar across my hair a couple of times on the second wash to get a really good lather. K have only used four times so far so not sure how long the bar will last but as it is a good solid bar it will be a while yet I am sure. So easy to use and easy to hold

Tips: Store in a way after use so that it is not sitting in water

Garnier Shampoo Bar

I loved trying this out as I have been wanting to switch to more eco-friendly options. It has lasted really well and is very easy to use. It smelt amazing as soon as I opened the box but doesn't necessarily leave a long-lasting smell in my hair. Paired with the conditioner/treatment my hair has felt amazing.

Tips: Make sure the bar and your hair are thoroughly wet or it doesn't soap up as quickly.

My new fav!

I thought my previous shampoo bar (a different brand) was the best but Garnier Hair Food Shampoo Bar - Aloe will absolutely be my new go-to!

It has a lovely fresh fruity scent that I could still smell on my hair the day after washing. It is a good-sized bar that I believe will last the 2 bottles that the advertising suggests, I have used it half a dozen times and it hardly looks like it has been touched at all. The bar lathers up straight away and rinses out nicely without leaving residue. My hair feels clean and hydrated, it doesn't strip the hair or leave it squeaky which I love. My 9-year-old daughter gave it a go too, she found it easy to use and it left her hair clean, shiny and smelling lovely.

I will definitely buy this product when this bar eventually runs out and would recommend it to friends and family as well.

Tips: Look after your bar by storing it somewhere that it can dry out between uses.
