Bars by Hair Type

Do you want to switch to zero waste shampoo and conditioner but don't know which kind is best for you? I'm here to help! 

Let me introduce you to shampoo & conditioner bars! Most bars are designed specifically for hair types, while other bars are made for their amazing smell and work great in any hair type. Let's get into it!


First thing you should know is we have 4 different brands: 

NOT!CE Hair Co. (formerly Unwrapped Life) : made in Calgary, Alberta

The High End Hippie : made in Lake Country, British Columbia 

Good Juju : made in Vaughan, Ontario 

Bottle None : made in Vernon, British Columbia 


How to Use Your Bars: 

Shampoo Directions: Wet your bar and lather in your hands or directly on your hair. Work the lather into your scalp for a nice lean feel. We recommend shampooing twice for best results (a common tip and trick from professionals in the hair industry). 

Conditioner Directions: Warm up your bar in the heat of your shower/bath water and then apply directly onto your hair. Pressing the bar onto your hair gives you a great coating of conditioner and eases your comb out experience. Let it sit for a while before rinsing out.  Pro Tip: don't rinse out completely for a leave-in-conditioner.


When choosing a bar, it's best to focus on the scalp where your hair begins and go from there. 

Fix the ROOT of the problem if you will (pun intended). 

For Example: I have curly hair but my scalp gets greasy from the products that I use for the curls. My current bars are NOT!CE Hair Co Detoxifier Shampoo to clarify and strip my hair of excess oil and High End Hippie Soothe Conditioner for hydrating my curls and giving it a frizz-free finish. 


Here's a quick guide for the most common hair types:

 

As you can see, a lot of bars can be used for multiple hair types and it's okay to mix and match depending on what your scalp and hair strands need. 

If you have amazing hair that isn't overly dry or oily, you should try Bottle None Be You bars or Good Juju Balanced bars.
