Why Choose Solid Hair Care?
Solid shampoo and conditioner bars are part of a quiet eco-revolution. They skip the excess water, the bulky bottles, and the hidden waste — offering instead a concentrated, long-lasting hair care solution.
Our 125g shampoo bars and 90g conditioner bars are packed with plant-derived cleansers that respect your skin’s natural acid mantle. Each eco-friendly shampoo bar lasts for 80+ washes, meaning fewer purchases, less packaging, and a much smaller environmental footprint.
And when you’ve enjoyed every last lather? There’s nothing left to throw away — just a clean conscience and naturally beautiful hair.

Environmental Benefits of Solid Shampoo and Conditioner Bars
Switching to zero waste hair care isn’t just a beauty decision — it’s a planet-friendly one. By choosing solid bars, you’re:
• Plastic Free — No bottles, no caps, no hidden microplastics.
• Zero Waste — 100% compostable or recyclable packaging.
• Readily Biodegradable — Ingredients that return safely to the earth.
• Low Impact — Hand-made in small batches in the UK, with minimal transport and packaging waste.
Every plastic-free conditioner bar or solid shampoo bar you use keeps plastic out of our oceans, reduces landfill waste, and lowers the carbon footprint of your hair care routine.

pH Balanced & Kind to Hair and Skin
Unlike 'Soap' shampoo bars, our pH-balanced shampoo bars are crafted to work in harmony with your scalp and hair — preventing dryness and protecting the skin’s natural barrier.
We only use pure essential oils for fragrance and hair benefits — never synthetic perfumes — so every wash feels like a little aromatherapy ritual.

FAQ — Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars
At Natural Wisdom, we believe that caring for your hair should feel as good for the planet as it does for you. Our solid shampoo and conditioner bars are hand-crafted in small batches, pH balanced, and scented only with nature’s essential oils. Here are the questions we hear most often — answered with honesty and care.
1. How do I use a solid shampoo bar?
Wet your hair and the bar, then glide the bar gently over your scalp and hair, or lather it between your hands first. Massage the lather into your scalp and rinse well.
2. Do your shampoo bars lather well?
Yes — they create a rich, creamy lather thanks to our gentle, plant-derived cleansers. You’ll get the same satisfying wash as with liquid shampoo, but without the plastic bottle or harsh detergents.
3. How long do your shampoo and conditioner bars last?
Our 125g shampoo bars last up to 80+ washes and our 90g conditioner bars last just as long, depending on your hair length and how often you wash.
4. Do I still need a conditioner with your shampoo bars?
We recommend it — our conditioner bars are rich in nourishing plant butters and oils that detangle, smooth, and protect the hair cuticle, leaving it soft and silky without heaviness.
5. Is there a transition period when switching to solid bars?
If you’re moving from a synthetic shampoo, your hair may take a few washes to adjust as it’s freed from silicones and build-up. Our natural chelating ingredients gently remove mineral deposits, making them ideal for hard water areas and for protecting colour-treated hair.
6. Are your bars suitable for coloured hair?
Absolutely. Our gentle, pH-balanced formula is kind to colour-treated hair. Natural plant tints like Indigo, Turmeric, and Spirulina give our bars their beauty — but they will not deposit any colour on your hair.
7. Are your shampoo bars drying?
No. Unlike soap-based bars, our formulas are pH balanced to love your scalp and hair without stripping away natural moisture. They cleanse effectively while helping to keep hair smooth, shiny, and hydrated.
8. What if shampoo bubbles get into my eyes?
Like all shampoos, our bars can cause temporary irritation if the lather gets into your eyes. If this happens, rinse thoroughly with clean water and the discomfort will quickly ease.
9. Are your shampoo and conditioner bars eco-friendly?
Yes — they are zero waste, plastic free, readily biodegradable, and low-impact. Our packaging is compostable or recyclable, and every bar is hand-made in the UK in freshly made small batches.
10. Can I travel with them?
Perfectly. They’re solid, leak-proof, and carry-on friendly. No liquid limits, no spills, and no extra plastic — just beautiful hair care wherever you go.
11. How should I store them so they last longer?
Keep your bars dry between uses — a slatted soap dish or draining rack works best. This keeps them firm and lasting for weeks longer.
