The bar lathers up easily in a damp hand and not much is needed to fully lather hair. I left it in for several minutes. It rinses easily and left no residue, just soft, smooth hair. I followed with the conditioning bar.
Upon drying, my hair feels and looks moisturized, not fly-away or frizzy.
I love the size of the bar and it's "packability" . Whether travelling or in a gym bag, no worry about leaking!
