Frequently Asked Questions

A well-formulated shampoo bar can lather and clean just as effectively as liquid shampoo, as long as it's built around real shampoo surfactants rather than soap. The Dip bar uses gentle cleansing agents derived from coconut oil that lift oil and buildup without stripping the scalp, and it's pH balanced to avoid that over-washed feeling. The key to a good lather is using light pressure on very wet hair rather than pressing the bar firmly into the scalp.
Solid shampoo bars eliminate the plastic bottle entirely, and because they contain no added water, a single full-sized bar can replace multiple bottles of liquid shampoo. The Great Lakes Apple Blossom bar is part of a collaboration with Great Lakes Great Responsibility, a nonprofit focused on reducing plastic pollution in the Great Lakes watershed, so the plastic reduction goes beyond just packaging. Bottled shampoos, even those marketed as eco-friendly, still require containers that carry a higher production footprint.
Yes, the Dip shampoo bar is formulated to be safe for color-treated and chemically processed hair. It's free of sulfates, silicones, and parabens, which are the ingredients most commonly linked to color fading or damage in treated hair. It also includes nourishing oils and proteins that help support hair that has been bleached, highlighted, or otherwise processed.
The Dip Great Lakes Apple Blossom shampoo bar is certified gluten-free, making it a suitable option for people who need to avoid gluten in their personal care products. It's also free of sulfates, parabens, silicones, dyes, and synthetic fragrances, and it's formulated to Credo Clean Standards, so it's designed with sensitive skin and scalp concerns in mind.

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."

Gina F. (5/5)

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. :("

Finally. .

"I’ve used a lot of shampoo and conditioner bars. They pretty much all suck or fall apart in like a week. So when I tell you these are incredible, I mean it!! I double cleanse with the shampoo and use the conditioner and leave just a little bit in my hair and it brings out my waves and makes my hair so soft. Finally. . a good shampoo bar."

A (5/5)

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!"

"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."

Love it!
