FAQ’s
SHAMPOO
-
Using a StarBar shampoo bar is similar to using soap. You can either lather it up in your hands, or rub it directly on your hair to get nice foam. If you are not getting enough lather, add a little more water to your hair or to the bar.
-
The best way to store your StarBars is on a wooden tray. This allows it to fully drain between uses. If you store it on the side of the shower, it will become mushy. A plastic tray doesn’t work at all.
-
Yes! They are great for hair! The surfactant blend we use at StarBars is very gentle. There are no harsh chemicals, and the natural oils and butters add softness and shine without weight.
-
Yes! Shampoo bars are so gentle that they will not affect the color of your hair. And they make curls look great! Soft, shiny and bouncy.
-
No, not at all. Soap is made by adding sodium hydroxide (lye) to oil. This causes a reaction that turns the bar into a solid. StarBar shampoo bars are made by melting surfactants and oils together. There is no lye.
-
Maybe you’ve heard that your skin and hair have a pH of around 4.5-5.5. We balance our bars to have that same pH.

CONDITIONER
-
StarBars conditioner bars contain all the great ingredients you would find in a bottled conditioner, but without the bottle.
-
It works the best to rub the bar directly on your hair. Because there is no water in the bar, you can always add more water to it to get more conditioner off the bar. If the bar has been in the shower for a while and has become slightly soft, you can scrape a little conditioner off and use that.
-
A conditioner bar is harder than the shampoo bar. It may seem like you are not getting enough product off it, but you will feel your hair get smooth and silky when you are rinsing it.
-
Lather is a result of the cleaning agents (surfactants) in shampoo. Conditioner doesn’t have any surfactants so it won’t lather up.
-
Yes. Nothing can fix previous damage, but StarBar conditioner will smooth the hair shaft resulting in better looking hair. It also protects your hair from breakage resulting in longer, stronger hair.
-
Conditioner bars last about a third longer than shampoo bars. That’s why the conditioner bar is smaller than the shampoo.
-
Yes! Our StarBar conditioner is packed with amazing ingredients your hair will love, such as rich butters, smoothing oils, strengthening proteins, and natural extracts to add shine.

No. You can use your shampoo bar with any conditioner you choose. However, StarBar conditioners are formulated to compliment the shampoo bars.
