I was a skeptic when it came to shampoo bars because I have thick, textured hair with lots of body. It has natural wave that even turns into spriral curls on the underside of head in the back. The front sides of my hair have always gone frizzy and straight. I used the shampoo and condition bar for the first time yesterday and 90% of my frizz was gone. The front sides of my hair actually curled! I could not tell you the last time I have seen them curl. The bars lather well and will take some time getting used to. Its a bear when trying to get it into thick hair, but it is doable. Overtime I think even wet, my hair will be more manageable with this shampoo/condition. The smell is divine.
