SAPHUS Argan Oil Bar Shampoo and Conditioner Set for Strengthening, Cleansing & Moisturizing Dry & Curly Hair,Travel Size, Zero Waste, 2pc Set

Everything I hoped for and then more! I originally got this to help reduce static (not referring to frizz) because during the winter I am notoriously shock-prone. Not only did it help with that, but it smells good without being overwhelming. The shampoo lathers super well and the conditioner doesn't take 20 years to start being useful. (Most bar conditioners take forever to get soft enough to start actually being able to spread the conditioner.) I have friends that haven't seen me in a while, and when I shared a selfie they were absolutely stunned at how wonderful my hair looks these days.

I got the argan set as it specified curly hair. My hair history: My hair is naturally curly and fully gray. I have used only non sulfate/silicone/paraben shampoo and conditioner for a few years. I’ve also begun washing less often, going from years of daily shampooing to every 4 days (more frequently when curly as eventually my curls frizz). I have no problem with oily scalp and my hair is healthy. I use curl products: activator, mousse, gel and refresher spray when curly; and Olaplex 6 and heat protectant when I straighten. These all leave residue so I use a liquid clarifying shampoo about once per month and a deep conditioner immediately following. Aside from the aforementioned clarifying and deep conditioning, I now use these bars exclusively. Unlike the suggested method, I do not rub either bar directly onto my hair, as hairs transfer to the bar and I have to pick it off. Instead, I wet and lather the shampoo bar and apply the shampoo from my hands, then use my finger pads to scrub my scalp, pushing the suds down the hair to my ends then I rinse with warm water. I do this twice. The bar gives satisfying lather and my hair feels quite clean. I then do the same with the conditioner bar applying more to the mid to ends and leave it in while I wash and shave. I do a final rinse with cold water. The conditioner gives me good slip and my fingers easily run through my hair afterward. I have noticed a slight reduction in hair loss in-shower. Not significant, but still less. The scent is nice, not too strong and I smell it mainly during use but not after my hair is dry. I keep the bars in a large travel soap container with a soap pad underneath. I have noticed the shampoo bar is getting smaller quicker and I will certainly run out of it first (the opposite of my experience with bottles). I originally purchased these to reduce my liquids while traveling. However, I like them so much both during use and the result when dry, that they are now my regular shampoo/conditioner. I have also noticed they last longer than bottles, as I likely use less. I have since added the Saphus purple bar shampoo for monthly toning, but have only used it once and haven’t seen a difference yet. Anyway, I will absolutely continue to purchase this Argan set.

I like this shampoo bar. It leaves my hair clean, but not soft or moisturized. It's not necessarily drying, it just doesn't add moisture to my hair. It lathers up pretty well...I've tried other bars that don't lather up much at all or it takes a lot to get any lather. It smells clean and lasts a while as well. It comes with a conditioner bar which I by far the best one I've tried, but it doesn't softener or detangle my hair like regular bottled conditioner so I don't use it regularly...I use leave in conditioner daily anyhow. But if you're looking for something detangling (at least for longer hair) this isn't it. Overall I feel that this set is worth the money and as far as shampoo bars go, it does it's job well.

I've never used bar shampoo/conditioner before but I really like the idea of lower carbon footprint/less packaging waste, etc... Smell is lovely but very strong until I used it. Now it's nice. I.e. sitting on table in living room unopened, it smelled as strong as a burning scented candle. (!) After first use, the smell is now subtle (and I don't smell it at all really unless I pick it up and take a whiff). Fortunately, I like the scent. Not sure scent lingers in hair at all really (not a bad thing either way in this case). If you (like me) have never used bar shampoo before you may want to modify your routine slightly. I used to lather once, wait a min, rinse, then move on to the conditioner. Now I rub the shampoo bar in my wet hands a few times, wash my scalp, rinse, then rub bar 1-2x more with hands and lather scalp/hair again. Second lather is feels just like washing with liquid shampoo. Rinses cleanly. Similar process with conditioner. Hair does not feel conditioned until you rinse, then it feels silk, like any other conditioner I've used. Conditioner feels light, which is what I want. Intention going forward is to double wash/condition every few days, and on off days, wash/condition without rinsing in between to see what happens. (I.e. wash scalp with shampoo 1x, and condition ends with conditioner 1x, leave be while I wash rest of body, then thorough rinse from head to toe... trying to ease into washing hair less frequently). I crocheted a wash bag for the conditioner bar and am still working on the one for the shampoo (intending to hang them from shower curtain hooks so they don't become a slimy mess in the soap dish). Might not be necessary? Underside of shampoo bar is not slimy so far (as it sits on the grooved soap holder section of the shower shelf). If you wear pantyhose/tights, you can always take an old pair (e.g. with a run) and put a bar of soap or shampoo or conditioner in that, knot strategically so it doesn't fall out, trim, and hang it up. You can use the soap through the fabric and by hanging it, it stays drier, and you don't lose the tiny sliver when it's almost used up. My point is you might not need to go to that trouble. As for curl care, I'm still learning how to manage my shoulder length 2c hair after being raised to brush/blow out all the curl. Now I'm trying to encourage the spirals... still have a lot to learn, but this shampoo conditioner seem gentle/light enough to not get in the way, at least. Will definitely buy this brand again when the time comes (might be quite awhile though).

I think it works ok but it doesn't lather up, so feels like my hair may not be getting really clean. It does leave my hair soft though, even without conditioner.

Both shampoo and conditioner have a very nice fragrance and definitely clean my hair. This is my third set purchased so I know they last a long time. Also very convenient for traveling.

I used to just buy these for my holidays to cut down on weight in my suitcase, but I have now completely switched from bottles to bars all the time. They foam up lovely and are long lasting. I still have the conditioner bar that I started using in September 2024 and it's end of December 24 when I'm filling out this review. The shampoo bars last about two and a half months for me. They smell nice and are good for the environment and my hair. I don't think I would ever go back to using bottled shampoo and conditioner.

First time buyer of solid shampoo and conditioner. I love it. Lathers very well. Smells great. Lasts a long time, longer than liquid shampoo. Leaves hair feeling clean, soft, light. NO HARSH CHEMICALS!!

Okay but very strong smell almost like a strong air freshener. Won't buy again personally but may be fine for some. Good lather from the shampoo.

Received this yesterday and had you use it! I love how the shampoo lathers and how creaming the conditioner feels on my hair. When drying my hair it felt more soft, supple and manageable! I will be buying this product again!

I've been using shampoo and conditioner bars for years and this is one of the best. I like how the conditioner bar is contoured to fit in the palm of your hand while distributing the conditioner (I've never seen this before). The shampoo bar has lots of lather although I really don't like the scent so I gave it 4 stars. To me it smells like orange candy crystals. The size of both are actually quite large compared to others I've purchased in the past. It might be a long time before I have to replace them.
