If you've never used a solid shampoo bar in your hair, you may wonder "how do I do that?" It's easy. Just get your hair wet, take the bar and rub it all over your scalp and hair. Put the bar down and work it into a wonderful lather. You may find that the first time you use a shampoo/body bar in your hair it feels different. Using natural ingredients is not going to give you the same feeling chemically laden choices do because the natural oils are not being stripped away. In addition, your hair may require a transition process before it is fully free of all the other chemicals and residues from prior hair products. You can read more about this transition process HERE.
All of our Shampoo, Body and Facial full sized bars are 5oz in weight, with dimensions of 2.75H x 3.4W x 1D.

6 Stars is more Accurate
I started switching to an organic lifestyle almost a year ago. I shopped with one company until now. They have great products but when it comes to shampoo I will forever shop here!!! With their shampoo you would sometimes have to mix baking soda with it because the organic oils mixed with hard water would create calcium deposits on the hair making it look oily and shiny. Apple Valley Natural Shampoo bars, however, do not do this. I have not added baking soda once. It Lathers so much easier and I find I don't have to do a vinegar rinse as often. 6 Stars for this shampoo.

great alternative to no poo!
I've been using the no poo method for about 6 months and haven't been too impressed by it. I have oily/thin hair and it didn't do much to help it out. After using this bar the first time by hair is shinier, smoother and with less frizz. I LOVE the scent (way better than baking soda and vinegar :) I have been using my vinegar rinse every other day, but look forward to trying the herbal vinegar rinse one day soon!

no sting
I love this soap. It doesn't sting my eyes.. this soap lathers up unlike other shampoo soaps Ive used from other companies. I'm anxious to try the other kinds as well.

Great!
My hair is dark blonde/light brown, but in the summer time it really lightens up and I don't care for that, so I thought I'd see if this would help. So far, so good, and it smells pretty too. I was using cocoa powder to try to darken my hair without going in for a color. It worked okay, but it left me craving chocolate all day long... I love how sudsy this bar gets. It took a little bit for me to adjust to washing my hair with a bar, and for my hair to adapt to the goodness I was throwing it's way, but now that that is over I couldn't be happier. It would take a lot to get me to go back to commercial shampoos.

Love it!
I've only had this bar for a couple of months (and its my first shampoo bar at that), but I am never going back to regular shampoo again! My hair feels so soft and healthy using this bar, and it does wonders for my scalp! I recently cut off all my dry/dyed hair and got a pixie, and I'm growing it out to my natural medium brown color. The latte brunette seems to keep my natural color a slightly deeper tint than normal. I love the way it looks! I have hard water but I keep a water bottle filled with filtered water in the shower and shampoo my hair with it. It works like a charm: no build up or residue on my hair! I use an ACV rinse when I feel like I might need it and once in a while some argan oil and I'm done. I only have to shampoo every other day or so, I just rinse with water and massage my scalp in the shower on the other days to refresh and my hair STILL turns out great! (No greasy mess for me anymore from over washing.) After rinsing out the shampoo suds in the shower, my hair does feel a little too clean (like it needs a little conditioner) just while it's still wet, but when it dries I feel like I have the softest, most luxurious hair ever. The latte brunette scent is simply scrumptious--I haven't even bothered to try any of the other scents! It's definitely more of a lighter "latte" scent as opposed to a strong "coffee" scent. It's also great as a body bar, but I prefer AVNS body-only bars, as they are super-moisturizing.

Not the coffee I expected
This has a pleasant scent, but not a strong coffee smell like I expected. It lathers wonderfully and my skin feels great, though!

Love the scent & suds!
This is the first shampoo bar I've ever tried. So far I'm loving it- the scent is lovely, rich & refreshing at the same time! I love how quickly it creates suds. Other natural shampoos I've used have been impossible to distribute throughout my long hair (unless I use half the bottle!) but this bar is easy to distribute. I'd definitely buy it again!

Good quality, but ...
I hate to say I am not enthralled with my bar. It is a very good quality bar, it does it's job well and is solid and long lasting. As a disclaimer, I have had this soap bar for almost a year, so that could have something to do with it, but I am not excited about the scent. It is very nice, but I hoped for something amazing and kind of coffee scented. I just smell flowers. I sniff it every time I use it hoping it will surprise me, but it just a nice smell. Secondly, of course I KNEW it was for brunettes and was made of coffee, etc, but I didn't anticipate the very dark brown color that comes off on my arms and legs and in my shower. I do use it on my hair some and it works, and it does wash off almost as quickly as I see the streaks, but it is a little disconcerting and I hate to think that it will make my shower dingy. I am looking forward to using this bar up and moving on to something else.

Will Definitely Buy This Product Again!
I love everything about this bar. I love the smell, I love how it darkens my hair, I love how smooth my hair looks (no more frizzies!) I sometimes rinse with vinegar and add a dab of argan oil. That's it. My daughter tried it on her very curly hair and it works beautifully.
