Fragrance is really strong [SEP] This was my first time trying shampoo or conditioner in bar form, and I had the opportunity to try both from this company's line of products.  My first impressions were very positive - the ingredients looked clean and natural, as well as being cruelty-free and vegan, I love that it’s plastic free (both the lack of bottle and the packaging), and that the scent options were relatively gender neutral.  The bars were a little smaller than I expected, but ergonomically they fit comfortably in the palm of my hand and don't seem to be shrinking too fast after a week or so of use.  I'm glad that they have different colors, so that I can differentiate between my bar soap, shampoo, and conditioner!<br /><br />My experience using them was pretty good.  It felt odd at first as I've only ever used bottled shampoo and conditioner, but quickly got used to it and could definitely see myself using more bars in the future.  The shampoo bar lathered up easily and left my hair feeling clean and nourished.<br /><br />I only have two concerns - the first is that I'm struggling to find a place to put them in my shower where they won't get misted by water and disintegrate more quickly that way.  The second is the smell.  Although it's not unpleasant, it reminded me a little of a scented candle, and was very strong.  Three different people commented on the smell of my hair that week, which is not something that usually happens to me.  My husband thought that I smelled like cologne!  I could see this being a pro or a con depending on how you feel about fragrances.  Personally, I found it overwhelming as I'm more on the sensitive side to smells.<br /><br />Overall, I would consider trying this or a similar product again in the future, but only with a different/less intense scent.
