As others have said, it lathers very nicely, and is a BAR not in a plastic container, and had contained all the components I was looking for to treat my hair with (shikkakai etc.). I never buy shampoo bars because I am skeptical- but the ingredients are excellent for hair.
My hair is fine and I've felt it wasnt washed out thoroughly after use, but I might have to massage it in better and try to wash it out more as one of the other reviewers suggested.
Thanks for making this product.
