I put a Davines Shampoo Bar ($33) to the test and found that it provides a gentle cleanse and developed into a rich creamy foam. Available in various formulation for all hair types and need; they are colour safe and they smell amazing. I highly recommend using a conditioner for detangling and I used Davines Momo Conditioner, which left my hair feeling soft, hydrated and healthy.

Here are a few other shampoo bars you might like to try:

KMS Haircare solid shampoos — All bars are free from sulfates, silicones, alcohol and synthetic colorants. They are safe to use on colour-treated hair and designed for both straight and curly hair ($19).

Brixy Shampoo Bar — formulated with gentle plant-based cleansers and good for all hair types. It’s vega and cruelty-free, and without sulfates, parabens or silicone ($13).

Viori Rice Water Infused Hair Shampoo Bar — This all-natural, professional-grade shampoo bar is formulated to repair, moisturize and strengthen the hair. It’s vegan and suitable for all hair types. ($25).

JR Liggett’s Shampoo Bar — This is 100 per cent detergent- and fragrance-free, GMO-free and safe for colour-treated hair ($39.99).
