no, all my products are free from sulfate, petrolatum, paraben, and silicone.

how long each bar lasts depends on some factors, like hair length, frequency of use, and even how they are stored. the shampoo bars are equivalent to (2) 6.7oz bottles, while the conditioner bars are equivalent to (3) 6.7oz bottles.

the pH of my shampoos is between 5.5 and 6.5. this is the ideal value that guarantees the opening of the cuticles for thorough cleaning but without harming the strands, making your scalp healthy, and preventing irritation and damage.

the conditioners have a pH between 3.5 and 4.5, close to the hair’s natural pH. this way, the cuticles are sealed, and the hair is softer and bounces with movement.

for the bars to be used fully, they must be stored in a dry and well-ventilated area. if you keep your kits in direct contact with damp surfaces (such as shelves in the shower or soap dishes that collect water), they will melt slowly and last less than they should.

no, none of my products are formulated with salt.

yes! they are also made with natural ingredients and l do not test on animals. so, you can use it confidently and with certainty that no animals were involved in the process! 🥰

Revitalizing Shampoo, Moisturizing Shampoo, Ultra Moisturizing Conditioner, and Curl Definer & Leave In Conditioner all have wheat protein, which is super powerful in rebuilding hair, but all the other bars are gluten-free. 😉 if you have an intolerance, I recommend choosing other bars to avoid possible reactions with this protein.

yes, they are hypoallergenic! although my products have undergone the most strict allergy tests, we recommend doing a patch test since some individuals may react to essential oils.

I recommend doing a patch test on the upper arm as the products contain essential oils that can cause a reaction for more sensitive skin. another important point: foam from the shampoos may come in contact with the eyes and may eventually irritate, so only children who can close their eyes well when taking a shower can use it. I don't have any warnings aside from that. 🥰

for oily roots, I developed the Purifying Shampoo. it addresses the excessive oiliness of the scalp by providing a deep clean without damaging the hair.

yes! all my shampoos can be used in low poo, while all my conditioner bars are recommended for no poo, and are approved for the co-wash technique.

after you try it, share your thoughts on instagram (@barsoverbottles)? 🧡

yes! all my products are natural and free of aggressive chemicals, so they should not interfere with progressives or other hair treatment. our bars even help keep hair and scalp healthy, increasing the strength of processed hair! 🧡

for hair with highlights, I recommend the Revitalizing Shampoo, a product specially created to revitalize hair with chemicals. it’s 3-in-1: it nourishes, hydrates, and rebuilds. the Nourishing Shampoo is also great for cases where the hair doesn't need a deep revitalization. it provides the necessary oils for healthy and shiny hair.

for conditioners, Ultra Moisturizing Conditioner is the best option. it deeply hydrates the driest strands, fights porosity, and reduces split ends.

I recommend the Ultra Moisturizing Conditioner for dry ends that need extra attention.

in the case of frizzy or curly hair, the Curl Definer & Leave-in Conditioner Bar offers powerful hydration and acts as a treatment for damaged ends (can be used as a leave-in), besides defining the curls. 🧡

all my products were developed to help control frizz. the conditioners specifically are made to seal the cuticles and make the hair shaft smooth, soft, and shiny.

yes, I developed 2 products totally focused on curls: Moisturizing Shampoo and Curl Definer & Leave In Conditioner. The two make up  the incredible Curls Kit. 🧡

yes, any kind of hair can use the Moisturizing Shampoo and the Curl Definer & Leave In Conditioner. the ingredients that favor frizzy and curly hair structures also bring multiple benefits to other hair types. go and use without fear!
