Balance Bar Solid Shampoo Bar for Oily & Combination Hair

Balance Bar Solid Shampoo Bar for Oily & Combination Hair
$24.95 AUD
Taxes included.

Do your roots get oily way too fast? Flat by day two… even when you just washed it? Or your ends still feel dry or a little sad?

When your scalp overproduces oil, harsh shampoos don’t fix it. They just send your scalp into overdrive.

Balance Solid Shampoo Bar for oily and combination hair is a gentle, balancing shampoo bar designed to cleanse without stripping, helping your scalp reset while keeping your hair fresh, light and full of life. No squeaky dryness. No greasy rebound. Just clean, balanced hair that behaves.

For best results, pair this bar with the Balance Conditioner Bar!
Details

Lemon myrtle helps regulate excess oil and refresh the scalp. Pink clay gently draws out build-up and impurities without disrupting your natural oils. Rosehip oil and mango butter provide light hydration so your ends stay soft, not stripped. Grapefruit and mandarin boost shine and freshness, while castor oil supports stronger, healthier strands.

The result? Fresh roots that last longer. Soft ends that don’t feel neglected. Volume that sticks around. Finally.

This Australian-made shampoo bar is made with plant-based, vegan, and palm oil-free ingredients. Packaged up in a plastic-free, home-compostable box, leaving nothing behind but nourished hair.

Each bar is designed to last for up 80 washes (dependant on use & length of hair).

HOW TO USE

Using a shampoo bar is simple, but a few small tweaks can make a big difference to your results.

Step 1: Fully wet your hair

Shampoo bars work best on very wet hair. Make sure your hair is completely saturated before applying.

Step 2: Choose your application method

You can use a shampoo bar in two main ways:

  • Option 1: Apply directly to hair (most effective): Rub the shampoo bar directly onto your scalp in gentle strokes. Focus on the roots where oil tends to build up. Massage with your fingers to create a creamy lather.
  • Option 2: Lather in hands first (great for shorter hair): Rub the bar between your hands to create foam. Apply the lather to your scalp and massage through.

Step 3: Massage the scalp properly

Work the lather into your scalp using your fingertips, not your nails. This helps remove oil, dirt and product build-up.

Step 4: Rinse thoroughly

Rinse well to ensure no product is left behind. Repeat only if needed.

✨ Pro Tips for Best Results

  1. Wash no more than 2 - 3 times per week to maintain scalp balance.
  2. Always store your shampoo bar in a well-drained soap dish to extend its life.
  3. If you’re switching from liquid shampoo, allow 1 - 2 weeks for your scalp to rebalance.
  4. Pair with a matching conditioner bar for optimal results.
