Which Solibar shampoo bar should I get for my hair type?
We often get asked about which hair type suits which Solibar, and the truth is they're all quite similar. (And using a Solibar is a new way of washing - read more). This is because they all have the same base ingredients like Olive, Coconut and Castor Oil + Shea Butter. The differences in the Solibars lie in the super ingredients + the scent.
