        TL;DR<\/p>\n

        \n

        The Earthling Co.Shampoo Bar is an amazing choice for all hair types. It cleanses and nourishes the hair well and is crafted with natural ingredients that add volume and strengthen the hair. Folks with curls should try the Good Juju Dry\/Curly Hair Shampoo Bar, which is packed with moisture-rich ingredients to keep curls looking shiny and bouncy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Liquid shampoos have historically reigned supreme on wash day\u2014until recently. Solid shampoo bars are gaining popularity at a rapid clip. They combine performance and convenience with sustainable formulation and packaging. \u201cShampoo bars are a solid form of shampoo usually made from a blend of raw or plant-based ingredients like oils,\u201d explains hairstylist April Kayganich. They\u2019re typically gentler on your hair than traditional shampoos\u2014and many are hydrating, too. Plus, the compact and spill-proof bars are great for travel.\n<\/p>\n

        To narrow down the best options, we tested 29 shampoo bars for every hair type. Our testers used them at least twice a week during the testing period, evaluating how each bar cleansed their hair and scalp, how easy each one was to use, and how it left their hair and scalp feeling after washing. Ultimately, these seven raised the (shampoo) bar.\n<\/p>\n

            Best for those with oily hair<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

            Hair Type: <\/strong>Oily | Key Ingredients: <\/strong>Castor oil, glycerine | Sulfate-Free: <\/strong>No | Size: <\/strong>3.88 oz| Cruelty-Free: <\/strong>Yes\n<\/p>\n

            This one worked beautifully on oilier hair, which can benefit from a good clarifying wash at least once a week to mitigate buildup. Most notably, it lathered incredibly well (even with just a little water) and left hair shinier and easier to detangle and style, which isn\u2019t always the case with shampoo bars. Our tester said it offered a deep clean, removing excess oil and product buildup. It wasn\u2019t overly stripping or drying, though if your strands are drier, you may want to opt for another winner on this list.<\/p>\n

            Saleam, tester with coily hair: <\/strong>\u201cMy hair felt nourished after using the bar. It worked pretty well with my hair type. It has a faint citrus scent. The smell is light and not at all overpowering.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

              What to Consider<\/span><\/div>\n
                \n
              • \n

                May require multiple uses for thicker hair<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                Hair Type: <\/strong>Oily, fine | Key Ingredients: <\/strong>Castor oil| Sulfate-Free: <\/strong>Yes | Size: <\/strong>3.2 oz| Cruelty-Free: <\/strong>Yes\n<\/p>\n

                Many shampoo bars are notorious for being very drying, which is part of what made this winner so noteworthy. We could feel it adding moisture with every use; credit the namesake ingredient, castor oil, and hydrating glycerin. (Hot tip: It worked even better and left hair even softer when paired with the brand\u2019s accompanying conditioner bar.)\n<\/p>\n

                It lathered up well both in the hands and when rubbed directly onto the hair. However, if your hair is thicker, you may want to lather, rinse, and repeat to fully feel like the shampoo bar has adequately cleansed your strands.\n<\/p>\n
