What is a solid shampoo bar?
A shampoo bar is the solid form of the liquid version. Unlike “hair soaps” which are alkaline and can damage hair, shampoo bars are pH balanced. The matching pH helps your hair and scalp maintain a tight cuticle and healthy acid mantle. Lassëa Solid Shampoo Bars are much more gentle than traditional liquid shampoos, hair soaps, and even other shampoo bars. They’re packed with gentle cleansers, slippery herbs, and soothing oils, but still give a satisfying lather.
What is a solid conditioner bar?
A solid conditioner bar is the solid form of the liquid version. Lassëa Solid Conditioner Bars are much more concentrated than traditional liquid conditioners, even other leave-in conditioners. They’re packed with restorative butters, slippery herbs, and soothing oils.
Some of the benefits of Lassëa Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars include:
- Zero Waste / No Plastic- Lassëa Solid Shampoo Bars have no plastic packaging, and come in either a compostable pouch or brown kraft clamshell. The paper washi tape and instructions can be recycled.
- pH Balanced- Unlike “hair soaps” Lassëa Solid Shampoo Bars are pH balanced to keep your scalp and hair happy.
- Lower Carbon Footprint- Because there’s no excess water weight, the carbon cost to ship Lassëa is much lower than that of a liquid shampoo.
- Preserving Color & Treatments- Lassëa Solid Shampoo Bars are immensely gentle. The bars allowing hair colors and other treatments to last longer on your hair.
- Less water = more of the good stuff- Being formulated without water means more of all those fantastic ingredients. Your hair gets a bigger dose of all the important ingredients.
- Longer product life- Like any product, the number of uses will depend greatly on how often you use it. That includes how much you use each time, and how you store it in between uses. A Lassëa Solid Bar will last a long time if you don’t leave it in a place that collects water. Instead, allow the bar to drain and dry before the next use.
- Travel, gym & camping friendly- Liquid shampoos have restrictions when flying and the potential to leak. Lassëa Solid Shampoo Bars are hassle-free no matter how you’re traveling or where you’re stowing them.
What makes Lassëa Unique and Amazing?
Both what’s in it, and what isn’t! Most shampoo and conditioner bars are stuffed full of oils, but as we’ve discussed in the past, oils are not moisturizing. You’ll find truly moisturizing ingredients like Slippery ElmDescription Ulmus rubra is a species of elm that has a mucilaginous inner bark, and it is this that gives natural slip and hydration to Selkie. It also naturally softens hair, provide natural plant protein, adds shine, and soothes an itchy or dry scalp More and Aloe Vera GelWhile well-known for its benefits to skin, this mucilaginous ingredient provides deep moisturizing effects to the hair and scalp as well. In addition it helps restore pH levels and has both emollient and moisturizing properties, meaning that it smooths the cuticle and attracts and seals in moisture More, which you already know and love from Selkie Herbal Detangler. These bars also use paraben-free and formaldehyde-free preservatives and pure essential oils rather than fragrance oils.
Essentially, I took everything you love about Selkie Herbal Detangler and turned it into a pH balanced, moisturizing, naturally detangling shampoo and conditioner bar set. The bars radiate NightBlooming’s signature Eventide aroma of crisp sea-spray over alluring sun-basked vanilla and herbs.
Storage
Allow the bars to dry out in between each use. Once dry they can be stored in a closed container if desired.

Melyssa –
My favorite shampoo & conditioner of all time…I just had to stop by & leave a review. The lengths of my hair have been recovering for some damage that occurred a few years back following an illness which led to breakage, frailty, it feeling rough…all that fun stuff. Thankfully the medical issue is under control & I’m doing my best to grow out the healthy hair while gently caring for the lengths & I can’t tell you what a lifesaver these bars have been. The scent alone is worth it because it’s so gentle & woody that every washing is like a luxury spa treatment yet so incredibly gentle. My hair is so incredibly super soft that anyone would be hard pressed at how unhealthy it was just a few years ago. I also use the shampoo bar as a face wash on my ultra sensitive skin which has worked wonders to help keep it soft, radiant & clear. I couldn’t recommend using Melissa’s bars more highly & followed by the salve & the tiniest bit of one of her oils & I’m loving my hair again & feeling so good about my regrowth journey. My hair was formerly classic length & hennaed unfortunately following the illness I had to pause henna & do a cut to above bra strap length. Now it’s just my natural woodsy light/medium brown but growing out super healthy.

I have only used the conditioner so far and maybe I should wait for my hair to finish drying before reviewing, but the scent caused no sensory issues or headaches for me, and so I am very excited. It’s also milder and more pleasant than the “unscented” conditioner I was using before this. Wonderfully slippery for in-shower detangling, and I think the parts of my hair that have dried are a bit shinier and more ringlet-y than usual.

Coming back to leave a proper review now that I’ve been using these for several months.
These are great. I hope I never have to go back to other shampoos and conditioners.
The shampoo hits the right balance of being cleansing enough to get my scalp clean without stripping too much oil from my hair. Usually I only apply it to my scalp and roots, but when I suspect I my hair has buildup I also put it on the length and it’s the only shampoo I’ve ever encountered that makes my hair *easier* to detangle instead of harder.
Conventional advice for fine hair is to only use very light conditioners to avoid “weighing it down,” but my hair has always preferred to be aggressively moisturized, and this conditioner is perfect for that–I apply it generously and meticulously, try to let it sit for a couple minutes, and then wash about 90% of it out. Since I don’t wash out all of the conditioner, the scent lingers, but when dry it’s faint enough I only notice it when holding my hair right next to my nose.
I can’t emphasize enough how much I appreciate the transparency in how this product is described. Last year I set out to find unscented hair products, which turns out to be a very frustrating process when “unscented” is sometimes the name of a scent and even fragrance-free products can still have strongly scented ingredients. The fact that Himalayan cedarwood is right there in the name of the product and also discussed in the description (and also in the easy-to-find ingredient list) meant I could make an educated guess about whether it would work for me without having to scour the page for the information I needed. And the result is that it not only causes no problems but also smells very nice and works very well for my hair.
