So many factors contribute to hair health — from nutrition, medications, and genetics to age, styling methods, and what you actually put on your scalp and hair. But one of the easiest and fastest things in that lineup you can actually adjust are the products you use: The right shampoo and conditioner can make or break whether your hair comes out as healthy and pretty as you hope.
More and more, consumers worried about their hair health (and the planet's health) are exploring the rising market of bar-style shampoo and conditioner options. These bars, which look and act like body soap bars, and often last way longer than a bottle of liquid hair product, can not only reduce the harmful ingredients you're adding to your hair routine, but they're also a huge win for the environment. Plastic-free packaging and less weight mean they create less waste and fewer emissions — all while making your hair look better than ever. Plus, they're the best travel hack; say goodbye to extra hassle at TSA.
As with any shampoo and conditioner though, no two bars are the same. Each is formulated with unique ingredients designed to work best for particular hair types or concerns. So finding a good fit for your hair — whether it's curly, wavy, dry, damaged, or oily — is key to loving the products you choose.
Rather than leaving you scrolling endlessly, we've rounded up ten reviewer-loved shampoo and conditioner bars packed with nourishing, natural ingredients ready to get your hair in its best shape yet — and they're all on sale at Amazon, too.

Our first pick is a popular one, touted by the likes of Drew Barrymore and created by a well-loved haircare brand. Garnier makes several shampoo bars, including the Oat Delicacy, designed for fine hair, and Honey Treasure, best for dry and damaged hair. Both are on sale now for $6, and considering how long a shampoo bar lasts, this is a great deal. Free from preservatives, silicones, and dyes, and made with sustainably sourced ingredients, these bars are amazing for healing hair damage and making a nice environmental impact at the same time. Plus, they're good enough to leave one previously wary reviewer saying they're "skeptical no more" when it comes to shampoo bars.
