I just wanted to update on the other bars I've tried so far. I ordered a total of 11 samples (couldn't help myself :-[) I gave the review for the Babassu Marshmallow & Carrot, Milk & Honey in the beginning of the thread. So far I've tried:

*Lavender & Spice: 5 stars--Don't need as much leave-in, great moisture
*Goat milk oatmeal honey: 3 stars--this was just ok, not as moisturizing as the others
*Honey Butter: 3 stars--this I thought would be a winner because it was superfatted...I will try it again to make sure but again it wasn't bad, just ok.
*Dead Sea Spa: 5 stars--flippin fabulous! I've been meaning to try some more but I am stuck on this one for now. It leaves hair really clean with a nice shine & softness

Ones I have yet to try are the Herbal Mist, Olive & shea, Shea Rose Clay, Grapeseed Shea, Orange Creamsicle & Chocolate Almond. I've been washing my hair only once a week even though I'm tempted to wash more, it just does better with once a week. I'll update again when I'm done with the next set ;D


I'm excited to see the Lavender and Spice worked for you, it's one I wanted to try.  I still have a lot of the Chocolate Almond left and I LOVE the Orange Creamsicle.
You were right about using them everyday.  I think I'm going back to co-washing almost daily and once or twice a week shampooing.  I love the bar and it doesn't dry my hair out, but I need more moisture. 
Your avatar is absolutely beautiful.  I love your hair.

If TroDous hadn't updated i would have totally forgot about these bars..which might not have been a bad thing l0l.

Buuuttt..i ended up buying a sample of the lavender&spice poo bar and the full size chocolate almond body bar.
I will be reviewing after a while.. :)

Bars came in yesterday..i want to try them so badly, but have made a promise to myself that i can't use them today until i workout soo going to do that now l0l. I'll update with how they work for me on the first try.

ETA: Used the body bar-choco. almond and so far i'm pleased with it. I like the creamy rather than sudsy lather and it rinses nice and clean but left my hair soft.
I noticed too that my conditioner sank in a lot better  :) So i will be updating again once i use it more.

Quick Question: How do you ladies store your bars?

I just cut off a piece as I need it and store the rest where I keep my other hair stuff. I keep it in a soap dish that has little holes in the bottom. The bars are really lasting longer than I thought.

Been using the bars pretty consistently since i purchased them and i LOVE 'em!
They leave the hair feeling clean and soft, very soft. I can't wait to try some other ones, but def. not until i finish these up. Almost done with my sample bar.

I have used both the shampoo bars and the regular soap and love all of them.  Be careful to not get any of the shampoo soap in your eyes.  I did and it hurt like the dickens worse than any other shampoo I have used.  My hair felt very good afterwards.  I have used just about all of the regular soap but my fav is patcholi.  I give everything 5 stars.

I got my packages pretty quickly, and I ordered around a holiday.

I've used Elucence & Abba leave-in with these....I still love these bars but I got to restrict them to summer use. I've discovered that using cones in the winter makes my life soooo much easier.
