For the past month I’ve been testing out the Humby Organics Shampoo bar & Conditioner bar for curly hair…actually for all hair types really. You may have seen my instagram post reviewing these products, but I feel like these two products deserve a detailed blog post, because I have a lot to say about these little bars.


These products were gifted to me in exchange for an honest review.


When the company reached out the me, I thought it would be a fun experiment to try their shampoo bar and conditioner bar on my very curly hair. Mainly because I would love to switch my everyday products to more sustainable options, but also because I have never seen someone who looks like me try a shampoo or conditioner bar. I’ve only seen women with my hair type, using creamy, thick conditioners – so that is what I’ve always to used. With this thought in mind, I was a little skeptical about how these bars would work for me. Basically, my hypothesis for this experiment was that the shampoo bar would work on my curly hair – because I’ve used something kind of similar in the past (i.e. African Black Soap) and the conditioner bar would not.


Okay, Let’s review the shampoo bar & conditioner bar for curly hair


Shampoo Bar for Curly Hair - Humby Organics Review

SHAMPOO BAR ( ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ )

A little goes a long way with the shampoo bar because it lathers really well. It left my hair squeaky clean, which I hadn’t experienced in a while. From my research, shampoos with petroleum-based sulfates leave hair squeaky clean because they strip the hair of its natural oil. Unlike most sulfate shampoos, this product uses sulfates made from the fatty acid of coconut oil and the product also contains several other oils, so I wasn’t too concerned about the squeakiness of my hair.


Conditioner Bar for Curly Hair - Humby Organics Review

CONDITIONER BAR ( ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ )

The conditioner bar took me by surprise. Like the shampoo bar, a little goes a long way. The thing that surprised me is that this product had really good slip. I was able to completely finger detangle my hair in the shower with no struggle – this rarely happens even with my favorite conditioners. I found that I had better results when I used this as a leave-in conditioner.


WORTH MENTIONING

  • Both of these products smell amazing! I tried out Mango Breeze which smells like a tropical vacation. It’s basically a mix of citrus, vanilla, and coconut.
  • The products are handmade with responsibly sourced ingredients
  • Comes in compostable packaging with a sugarcane label

RESULTS

The shampoo bar & conditioner bar (when used as a leave-in) left curls soft, fluffy, & voluminous. When using these products, I did not apply any additional styling products. I simply washed, conditioned, then diffused. I had some frizz, but, overall, I am so happy with these products. They work wonders and are low-waste! Pretty much a win-win.
