Shop shampoo bars and solid shampoo at Evergreen, with options for different hair and scalp needs from trusted hair care brands. Discover convenient solid formulas, including natural and plastic-free options for your hair care routine.

Shampoo Bars & Solid Shampoo

Shampoo bars offer a convenient solid alternative to traditional bottled shampoo. Compact and easy to use, they're particularly popular with people looking to reduce bathroom packaging, simplify their hair care routine or find a shampoo that's easy to take travelling. At Evergreen, you'll find shampoo bars for a variety of hair and scalp needs from trusted hair care brands.

What Is a Shampoo Bar?

A shampoo bar is simply a solid-format hair cleanser rather than a liquid shampoo in a bottle. Formulations differ between products, so choosing a shampoo bar shouldn't just be about choosing a solid format. It's still important to find one that suits your particular hair and scalp.

How Do You Use a Shampoo Bar?

Wet your hair and the shampoo bar thoroughly. Depending on the product, you can either gently work the bar between your hands to create a lather or apply it directly to wet hair. Massage through the scalp and hair as directed before rinsing thoroughly.

Always check the individual product instructions, as different shampoo bars may be designed to be used slightly differently.

Choosing a Shampoo Bar for Your Hair Type

Just as with liquid shampoo, consider your hair and scalp needs when choosing a solid shampoo. Dry hair may suit a more conditioning formula, while oily hair may need something that cleanses effectively without leaving the hair feeling heavy. If you have a sensitive or uncomfortable scalp, check the ingredients and product information carefully.

You can also browse our wider Shampoo range if you're deciding between solid and liquid formulas.

Shampoo & Conditioner Bars

Shampoo and conditioner bars perform different jobs. Shampoo bars cleanse the hair and scalp, while conditioner bars are designed to condition the lengths and ends after washing.

If you're moving towards a solid hair care routine, you can use a shampoo bar followed by a conditioner bar in much the same way you would use liquid shampoo and conditioner. Take a look at our range of Conditioner Bars here.

Are Shampoo Bars Plastic-Free?

Solid shampoo can help reduce the need for traditional plastic shampoo bottles, but not every shampoo bar can be described as automatically “plastic-free”. Packaging and ingredients vary between brands, so check the individual product information if avoiding plastic packaging is particularly important to you. We have a dedicated Plastic Free Haircare range here.

Are Shampoo Bars Natural?

Like liquid shampoos, shampoo bars can be formulated in many different ways. Some contain a high proportion of naturally derived ingredients, botanical extracts, plant oils or essential oils, while others use a mixture of different ingredients to achieve the desired cleansing performance.

Check each product's ingredient list and certifications if choosing a natural or organic shampoo is important to you.

Shampoo Bars for Travel

One practical advantage of solid shampoo is its compact format. Shampoo bars can be convenient for travelling because there's no liquid bottle to carry. Allow the bar to dry between uses and store it appropriately according to the manufacturer's instructions.

How Long Does a Shampoo Bar Last?

This varies considerably depending on the size and formulation of the bar, how frequently you wash your hair and how the bar is stored. Keeping your shampoo bar somewhere it can dry properly between uses can help prevent it from becoming unnecessarily soft between washes.
