ecostore Volumising Shampoo Bar

I am a massive fan of shampoo bars, but this is the first time I have tried one of the bars from ecostore. I love that this bar is made in NZ, not tested on animals, and comes in just a recyclable cardboard box as packaging. The bar has a nice colour, and a good size for holding it while applying it to the hair. The smell of the shampoo is not very strong, but pleasant, and the bar lathers up really well. Sometimes shampoo bars can be a bit hard to lather up, especially during the first few uses, but this bar was really easy to use right from the beginning. The bar also lasts well, at least as long as a bottle of shampoo would. The only thing I was not really happy with was the fact that I do not feel it is volumising at all. The shampoo works well for cleaning my hair, but it might almost be a bit harsh, making my hair dryer than other shampoos do, and definitely not adding any volume. I still think it is good value for money, and a great bar for people starting out using shampoo bars because it’s so easy to use.

This is my first time using a shampoo bar so not sure what I was expecting. The bar lathered up quickly and has a nice scent. I didn’t have a conditioning bar so will probably get one to compliment the shampoo. But even without conditioner my hair is manageable and not too fluffy which is awesome. I’m really happy that my scalp is not itchy which often happens with salon shampoos after a couple of days. So overall I’m really happy with the results and it feels good to know I am doing the right thing for my body as well as the planet

I was looking for a shampoo that was more natural and that didn’t have any added nasties in it. This product definitely delivered on that - however, I found that I had to wash three to four times to get my hair clean, and to feel the full effect of the shampoo bar. I also disliked how the bar felt when left in the shower (even put inside a shampoo bar tin) as it remained wet and slimy. For that reason I decided not to use a bar again but to rather switch back to the good’ol shampoo bottles.

I really didn't like the shampoo bar. It did nothing good for my hair. Looked unwashed after use,no noticed changes in volume.. I won't be buying this product again sadly

I've been using bar shampoos for years, and picked up a bar of this ecostore Volumising one after reading all the BR reviews. Unfortunately, none of the previous reviews stated what type of hair the reviewers had.

I have very fine hair that is prone to greasiness (I have oily roots, oily strands, even oily tips). Sadly, this shampoo does not work well for us oily haired gals. Yes, it did give my superfine hair a little volume, but not much. It lathered up nicely, has a nice scent, and it cleaned my scalp and hair well at the time, but by the next morning it looked like my hair hadn't been washed - only 12 hours after washing it. :( Not ideal.

I won't be purchasing more. If you have oily hair, don't waste your money on this, rather get a bar of Ethique's St Clemens shampoo.
