I love this bar

Picked this up at the sj winter fair. My hair is fine and oily, most shampoos strip my oils or leave my hair flat and weighed down.
This one cleansed but and my hair felt silky and clean afterwards. Noticeable shine but not weighed down! I LOVE the smell :))

Easy to travel with!

I love this shampoo bar. Its easy to take with me on the go, and it lasts FOREVER. I have completely replaced my normal shampoo with this bar because it makes my hair feel clean without feeling stripped of its natural oils.
