Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Dip Surfrider Shampoo Bar is pH balanced and formulated to be color-safe. It uses gentle cleansing agents derived from coconut oil that lift oil and buildup without the harsh stripping effect that fades color. It's also free from sulfates, silicones, and artificial fragrance, which are among the most common culprits in color loss.
They're not the same thing. Traditional soap is made through a process that leaves behind residue known to cause waxy buildup and roughness on hair. The Dip shampoo bar is formulated with surfactants and conditioning agents, the same types of ingredients found in liquid salon shampoos, just without the added water. It lathers, rinses clean, and doesn't require an apple cider vinegar rinse or any adjustment period.
Waxy buildup and breakage are common complaints with soap-based bars, and the Dip bar is formulated differently to avoid both. The lather rinses clean without residue, and the bar is meant to lightly graze the hair rather than be pressed into it, which reduces friction and the risk of breakage. A customer who had used the same conventional shampoo for 30 years switched to Dip and said they were convinced they had found the one after trying it.
Yes, the Fragrance Free Surfrider Shampoo Bar uses the same base formula as the scented versions, just without any fragrance added. All other ingredients, including those that support scalp health and color protection, remain exactly the same.
The 0.75 oz mini is a travel size, and Dip estimates it lasts roughly 2 to 6 weeks depending on hair type, length, and how you apply it. That's a wide range because bar longevity genuinely varies from person to person. Letting it glide lightly over wet hair rather than pressing it in will help it go further.

Reviews

Somewhat drying for curly hair

"Easy to use, good lather, and the unscented version didn't irritate my scalp but as a curly girl living in an arid climate I found the shampoo bar too drying — maybe it's the glycerin? Unfortunate because there's a lot to like about the product otherwise. :("

Natalie (4/5)

My favorite shampoo and conditioner

"I have fine long 2b curls and my 3 yr old had 3b curls. We only use the conditioner on him and it's the only one I've found that actually works. We use it once in the bath or shower. Then again as a leave in conditioner and brush it through. It's the only conditioner I've found out of 14 different brands that works. I tell everybody about it!"

Alexa H. (5/5)

"The best shampoo bar I have come across. Perfect for all hair types. This is the second bar that I have purchased and it really does last as long as they say."

Sarah (5/5)

Love it!

"Works great for my course curly hair. Normally I have to use a lot of styling gel but not with this. Just wash, condition and good to go. No frizz. Love it!"

Bill B. (5/5)

Best shampoo ever (in general!!)

"This bar shampoo completely transformed my hair! My hair has never healthier and it really helps my waves come out. It is the best shampoo in general that I have ever used."

Zoe D. (5/5)

I love this stuff!

"This was recommended to me by a friend of mine who also had challenges with hair loss. I feel like I’ve tried so many different things to help my hair loss but this seems to be working. I will continue to buy this product"

"I love this shampoo bar. Gebtle and yet very cleansing"

Tiffany (5/5)

Easier To Use Than Bottled Shampoo

"I love DipIt Bar Shampoo. I use fragrance free. I am a senior with mobility and standing problems. The DipIt bar is easier to use than the all in one bottled shampoo, (which i thought would save me time, but it doesnt!) The DipIt leaves my very fine, thin,shoulder length hair ( colored) wavier and clean but not dried oit . I use the DipIt bar conditioner, love it. An all in one shampoo cant compare. For the bar shampoo, use the recommended: rub it softly and quickly back and forth, it'll suds up. I found less is more so i can rinse it out quicker. A little bar conditioner makes combimg my usually knotted washed hair easy. Not going back to bottled, even the "best" brands cant compare to DipIt. (5* for fragrance free conditionar bar too)"

Nellie D. (5/5)

not fragrance free- at all.

"This works well as a shampoo and it seems to be color safe, but it's not even close to fragrance free. It smells strongly of mint, despite having no mint or fragrance listed in the ingredients. I have a severe fragrance sensitivity, so this product isn't even usable for me, which is a huge bummer. I wish it were as advertised because otherwise I like it."

Ashlyn (2/5)

It doesn't do anything :(

"I was so excited to try this as someone with chronic fatigue and greasy hair. Sadly, it didn't make any difference for me."
