Gave these to my daughter-n-law. She liked the shampoo - great lather but no so fond of the rinse.

I have used 3 sample bars so far. Each last for three washes and I have found some work better for my hair than others. I like that I can try lots of different ones without having to purchase whole bars especially when it might not be the right bar for my hair type. I have noticed I have had to use conditioner to detangle my hair.

Will never go back to the bottle,( I used organic products only) this shampoo gives my 73 year old hair body and sheen.

These little slivers of soap last a long time, lots of fun trying all the scents, really like having something natural without all the chemicals, and no bulky plastic bottles, I will definitely be buying bar shampoo from now on.

I recently decided to try shampoo bars and I love these. I have hair that is a bit longer than shoulder-length and, as advertised, one sample lasts three shampoos. I have only gone through two samples in about a month. If I ever use up all of these, I will definitely buy more products from this site.

This was the first time I ordered any type of shampoo bar and I love them. They are a really good sample size. I have thick, mid-back length hair and I could still get at least 4-5 washes from each sample. The samples are really helpful for me to figure out which type is the most beneficial for my hair and which full size bar I will buy later. Love it all!

I’m working my way through the samples. They are a generous size. They smell wonderful land lather very well.
They are a great size for traveling.

Don’t really like any of the smells honestly and didn’t like how they made my hair feel the first few times. I’ve stuck with using them and I’m glad I did because I love how long each sample lasts and really like how my hair looks. Holds curl for much longer and I need less hairspray. I do find that the bars are kind of drying so because of that and the smell, I can’t give 5 stars

When our shampoo bar sampler came, I took out all the ones I wanted initially and gave the rest to my boyfriend. Over time I have been taking them back off of him :) There are definitely fragrances I prefer over others. But in general my hair and scalp have never been better, and my skin never smoother or felt cleaner. Now that I have settled on my favorites, I have given out some of the samplers to friends who have commented on my hair 'looking amazing.' I am lucky to have found AVNS. I don't know of anything else this good. I just wish it was for sale in my local coop too - since I'm in the same State and all (hint).

I ordered this pack so I could figure out what bar worked for me and I like the smell of best. This sample pack is a great way to try them all without committing to a bar you don't love the smell of or does not work with your hair. I would definitely recommend the pack to anyone and that they read the tips for switching to a shampoo bar. Also buy the filtered shower head it made a noticeable difference in how my hair felt.

I love these shampoo bars. After using the Marshmallow Aloe shampoo bar and Citric Acid Rinse, my hair is so soft and clean. I can’t wait to try the other bars in the shampoo bar sampler pack. AVNS customer service is also outstanding! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to try their products. They are wonderful!

I am not sure about how I feel about these bars yet. I am on my second sampler bar and finding that my hair is feeling straw-like. I am using a vinegar rinse. I have read about the transition period while your hair is releasing all the product. I gave previously used Jason’s shampoo which is not suppose to have parafen’s etc. so not sure what is happening exactly. I will continue to give it a try and hope for improvement.

Wowzah!! Ok so this sample pack is lasting my husband and myself a long time. A little tip: As you pull out the sample bars, put them in a little something (we used a bag) and cut out the name and put it on that bag. Every few days my husband and I try a new bar, and we've been able to pick out a few favorites. What makes it a favorite?? The way it feels during the wash, the way our hair feels when it is dried, and the scent. We've already picked two favorites and I came right back to the site to add those to my "wish" list. That makes it easier to remember which ones we loved. Each sample lasts several washes.

First of all, the mount of wash in this sample pack is mind blowing! Each bar has lasted my husband and myself several washes.
We're close to finishing off trying each of the 15 bars and have picked a few favorites. It took some time and coming back to the site to read the descriptions.
I did have to share 3 bars with friends as they had Ylang Ylang in it which sets off migraines for myself. They were so happy to get to try the product.
Your tips on the site have been ultra helpful as well, and kept me in line with patience as my hair and scalp finish out the transition into a healthier me.
I also love that while one bar may not work out for our hair type, we can use it as a body wash instead!

so far it's nice. It smells wonderful, lasts a while, and leaves my hair squeaky clean!

I am choosing to reduce plastic use in any way I can so thought I would try bar shampoos. I'm terrible at making decisions so I thought I'd try the sampler pack. I've only made my way through two slices thus far but they both smell divine, lather richly (we have very soft water) and get the job done. I'm keeping track of how long each little slice lasts and it is around 2 1/2 weeks each thus far. I do have very short albeit thick hair.
So - give them a try!

I have used it a couple of times and really like the product = easy to use and pleasant smell

I have heard water, so I've only been using this for my body, but this is the most amazing soap I've ever used. My skin feels great and the scents are wonderful and long lasting. I've never felt so fresh for so long.

I am glad I tried the sampler, but unfortunately it isn't going to make my decision any easier when it comes to ordering full sized bars! I am on my 5th sample, and so far love 4 of them and really like the 5th. lol The bars are small, but I have medium length hair and I still have gotten 4 shampoos out of each bar so far. In addition to ordering some full sized bars, I will be trying out some of your other produces on my next order too. I have tried another brand of hand made shampoo bars a couple of years ago and it was not of the same great quality as yours.

I am enjoying going through this sampler! There were so many shampoo bars to choose from, which is a nice option, but I was not sure which one I needed. The sampler is a great way to try them all and then pick and choose which work best for you. Am working my way through them and have loved them all so far, so I may STILL have a hard time choosing!

I have extremely dry hair and have tried every shampoo and hair product on the market. Nothing has worked. Shampoo bars were my last option. I ordered the shampoo sampler pack to try different ones and my hair has never been better! The bars are small, but my hair is short so I can get at least 8 shampoos out of each sample ( win for me!). I will definitely keep using these.

I was a little overwhelmed by the site because of all of the many types of bars and scents so this sampler was a no-brainer. Sample each bar and figure out which on you like best! Don't forget to try the sampler of their body bars too. I initially came to this sight for the shampoo bars and have fallen in love with body bars even more. I've never been so excited to take a shower and try a new bar each week.

So far the slices have lasted quite long - 4 showers each, even with my thick hair. I've been using baking soda in water as my shampoo for a couple years, and the bar definitely makes a difference - makes my hair feel sleeker (and smell nice!). I do follow up with a rinse of herb-infused ACV, as I did before.

No problem with the quality of the soaps as they are as good as always. BUT I was very thankful that I had a coupon code (because of a different purchase) for these and only had to pay the shipping. I find the $20 price very steep. The advertised picture above is pretty close to the actual size of the product received. Not much bigger than a single bar that can be ordered for $6.50.
AVNS RESPONSE: You're right. These aren't a bargain. The price reflects the cost in time to cut and cure each mini sample separately and assemble them. (Basically, making these is a pain in the rumpusdiddlyumpus.) They are available for those who want to sample each soap without having to pay the cost of purchasing the larger samples separately ($37.50 for 15 samples). Our full sized bars will definitely give you a lot more bang for your buck. We are committed to giving our customers choices and doing our best to represent our products accurately in the pictures and descriptions so there are no surprises when a customer receives their order.

I wish this had been an option before. A few months ago, I bought the regular sample size of every single bar (pretty pricy) but luckily, it has lasted me almost 4 months! These bar sizes seem a bit smaller but they will probably be good for 2 washes each.
