This product is one of the best "finds" I've ever made. It was included in one of the varity sample packs of Burt's Bees products. I didn't try it for a long time, thinking it probably would be hard to use and not very effective. I was wrong on both points. I finally used this as a last resort to see if I could get the buildup of hair spray out of my hair. I have spent a lot of money on "name" brands that were supposed to be effective and weren't. The first time I used this, I found it lathered remarkably easily, and I concentrated on the particular areas of my hair where I had the worst buildup. It was completely effective in removing the buildup and in making my hair cleaner than it has been in years! I told my husband about it, he used it and it is now his favorite shampoo - finding that it leaves his hair with more body than other shampoos he has tried. We both give this product our strongest recommendation. (Great for travel, too, since it's not a liquid or gel!)

This is a great shampoo for me because I have short, fine hair. It does coat my hair - personally, I don't mind the waxy feel, and it's actually easier to blowdry and style my hair afterward. This works better for me than any volumizing hair treatment I've used! However, I don't use it more than two days in a row because of buildup. My best approach is to use it every other shampoo, and then it works great. Don't buy it, though, if you have long and/or thick hair!

I've used Burt's Shampoo Bar every night for the last 4 years to remove the product which I've applied in the morning, and am constantly amazed at the efficacy of the shampoo bar. The only time my hair ever became gummy and waxy was when I first started using it, and that lasted only the first two shampoos while the shampoo bar was ridding my hair of build-up. Friends of mine with longer hair have reported that the waxy feeling lasts longer as it takes more shampoos to remove build-up and residue from their hair; and friends with harshly treated hair (chemical and heat styled) report that the shampoo bar leaves them "bushy and dry." As I rarely heat style my short, colored hair, I find that alternating Burt's Shampoo Bar with a high end hair care line yields great results. This product may not be for everyone, but if your hair is already healthy or you want to detox it, it's worth a try.

I have very fine, thin hair that refuses to hold body or style. I use this bar on occasion in the shower. It leaves my hair with a waxy feel. If I use a conditioner after the bar, it eliminates some, but not all of the waxy feel. My hair is harder to brush and blow dry after using this bar then with other shampoos, but once my hair is dry, it has more body than usual. I have found that once I use this bar I should not use it for several days, as it causes too much waxy feeling in my hair, and difficulty with brushing. I imagine this bar works for some but not all hair types, and it does take time to get used to the feeling it leaves in your hair.

This product works great as a body soap. Leaves skin very soft, and helps with acne. Never leave home without it.

This left my hair disgusting! I threw it in the trash immediately because my hair was gummy, and so tangled I couldn't even get a comb through it.

After reading other reviews, I knew what I was in for at the beginning. And, I dealt gracefully with the "detoxification" process, believing that it would get better. But after a month, the greasy, waxy feeling was replaced by hair so thick and bushy, I could not get my fingers through it after a washing. And, when I tried to use conditioner, my hair became greasy and waxy yet again. So, I decided to toss the bar because I was tired of wearing my hair up in a ponytail everyday due to its unkempt appearance. I have shoulder length, layered, thick hair. This bar might work best for thin hair, since it apparently adds sooo much body. I'm going to try the cleaning liquid shampoos from Avalon next.

I don't recommend this product for long thick hair. My hair had tremendous body, but was prone to constant tangles. I could not run my fingers through my hair (dry) without them getting stuck. If you like to wear your hair in a big poofy style, this product may help!

I found that if I use this on a daily basis without any other hair products, after a week or so there will be no residue on my hair.

I have naturally curly, thin, shoulder length hair and I love this stuff! My husband loves it too, it is 98% natural, no perfumes or dyes and it is spill-proof, great for children and lots less packaging than bottles! Great on all levels! A+ for sure!
