Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but only when it's formulated as a true shampoo rather than a repurposed soap bar. The Dip bar uses gentle, coconut-derived cleansing agents that lift oil buildup and old styling product without leaving hair feeling stripped. It's pH balanced and works well enough for daily use; one customer noted it held up after a full day working in a restaurant.
The formulations are fundamentally different. Bar soap is alkaline and can leave a waxy residue on hair, disrupt the scalp's pH, and cause tangling or dryness. The Dip shampoo bar is built around the same surfactant technology found in salon-grade liquid shampoos, just in a waterless solid form, which means no detox phase, no apple cider vinegar rinses, and no adjustment period.
Yes, it uses the exact same base formula as the scented bars with fragrance simply left out. Every cleansing, conditioning, and scalp-supporting ingredient is identical. One customer noted that in summer, hair air dries smelling like fresh air rather than a product scent, which they found appealing.
Yes, the Dip shampoo bar is formulated to be safe for color-treated and chemically processed hair. It's pH balanced, which matters for maintaining color integrity, and the cleansing agents are gentle enough to clean without the dryness that can speed up fade. It's suitable for bleached, dyed, and otherwise treated hair types.
Just one small step on the first use: the bar arrives with a smooth surface and needs a quick rub between the hands to rough it up before applying it to hair. After that first wash, no priming is needed. The most common ongoing mistake is pressing too hard since the bar lathers better with a light touch, letting it glide over wet hair rather than dragging it against the scalp.

Fantastic!

"I look forward to taking a shower so I can use my mini dip shampoo and conditioner bar. The shampoo bar suds up so well and leaves a subtle and refreshing scent. After trying several shampoo bars, I like dip much more than HiBar. Dip leaves my hair looking and smelling clean and fresh. I'm adding these to my Christmas list! Thank you!"

Adore these products!

"I have been using dip shampoo and conditioner bars for years and can say without a doubt that they treat my hair so much better than mainstream bottled shampoos and conditioners. As someone who dyes their hair several times a year, dip products have greatly improved my hair quality."

— Sonya B. (5/5)

Great shampoo bar

"I have loved both the shampoo and conditioner bar, and since using both I have noticed a huge improvement in my hair texture and softness. They seem like they’re going to last for a long time too :)"

One of the best shampoos

"One of the best shampoos I've ever used! I have very thick, coarse hair, and it's hard to find a shampoo that doesn't leave it greasy or dried out. This shampoo has been a lifesaver. I've tried other shampoos that worked for a few washes, but my hair goes back to being greasy. I've been using this with the conditioner for over 6 months, and it keeps my hair clean and soft."

Functional Doctor Recommended—and Approved!

"I love the Dip unscented shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bars! When I first tried the shampoo bar, I was so pleasantly surprised by how easily and luxuriously it lathers. The conditioner bar lasts for an impressive amount of uses and leaves my hair feeling amazing. The body bar leaves my skin feeling incredibly clean and lathers beautifully—both on its own and with a loofah. My functional medicine doctor recommended these products to me, and I am so grateful to have them as a essential part of my clean routine. Thank you to everyone at Dip!"

Only brand I trust with my hair products!

"I absolutely love Dip bar shampoo and body wash! As someone who cares about the environment i again this this brand. My hair has never felt cleaner in the past year i’ve used dip! All the scents are amazing especially the limited edition ones when you shop locally! As someone who loves the beach and is an Electrician my hair can get messy and knotty but dip is always the answer and always makes my hair a 10/10 every single time i shower!"

— Gabby T. (5/5)

Love it!

"When I read the product description and it said the products are better than Oribe or Kerestasse I thought that was a big exaggeration. However, I have been so pleasantly surprised at how much lather the shampoo bar creates and how soft my hair is. The scent is really nice and the best part is that it supports the Great Lakes and reduces plastic packaging."
