Description
Kelpie Shampoo bar. How does it work?
Kelpie Shampoo is a pH-balanced solid shampoo bar made with gentle and biodegradable surfactants that will clean your hair without weighing it down or irritating your scalp. No sulfates or parabens.
How does it care for my hair?
The organic cold-pressed Argan, Hemp, and Jojoba oils gently condition your hair and tame flyaway frizz without weighing your hair down. Tiny flecks of dark green you see in the bar are pieces of seaweed. Seaweed adds gentle exfoliation to the skin and scalp. This Kelpie shampoo bar is refreshingly fragranced with lemongrass essential oil.
Why make these shampoo bars?
Because I want to use a shampoo bar that lathers well, tames flyaway frizz, leaves my hair feeling fabulous, and is made using sustainable ingredients that do not damage the planet.
How long will it last?
Approximately 40 washes or as long as 2 standard liquid bottles of shampoo. Kelpie shampoo bar is 50 grams, compact, mighty, and plastic-free. Store the bar somewhere it can dry out between uses. If you’re keeping it in the tin, it may not stay totally solid. I keep a kelpie shampoo bar in my swim bag that is in a tin. I put a little water in the tin with the bar, swirl the water around to dissolve some product, then use this on my hair.
How to use solid Shampoo?
Rub the bar directly on your hair or you can lather it in your hands and use the lather to wash your hair. Try washing your roots first, rinse, then do another wash all over to wash your hair thoroughly. To make the most out of the conditioning ingredients in the Kelpie shampoo bars, try applying some lather on your hair lengths and ends, and leaving it for 1-2 minutes, like you would with a traditional conditioner. Leave longer if you need extra conditioning, and then rinse
This shampoo bar doesn’t need an acid rinse, and it doesn’t have a transition phase!

I have never had much luck with shampoo bars. I have fine hair that is highlighted, and I live in a hard water area. I thought I was destined to use liquid shampoo refills from my local zero waste shop. This shampoo bar, however, has changed that.
It smells amazing, foams well, rinses out clean and doesn’t leave any residue or heaviness in my hair. I have been using it for three weeks now and my hair feels amazing.
I sit mine on a loofah pad so it dries out in between washes, and although it looks small I can already tell it’s going to easily last me at least 6 weeks of daily hair washing.

My daughter and I absolutely love this shampoo! It works beautifully, leaving my often rather lank hair looking fresh and healthy. I can honestly say it works just as well as any shampoo I’ve ever tried – and far better than some! It smells amazing and feels like a luxurious treat to use.
So far I sit my bar on the side of the bath and it occasionally leaves a little smear but that doesn’t bother me at all. It seems to dry out well between washes and it looks like it was last a good while.

Wonderful product and this is a repeat order. I would not use any other shampoo after using this one. I am 79 and my hair is not an easy fix but this shampoo makes my hair full, soft and easy to style.

I have been looking for a good shampoo bar for some time after trying many others. This one is a game-changer, it foams and acts like a regular shampoo, lathers in the same way, but leaves your hair feeling cleaner for longer and I don’t get greasy roots quickly like I do with other shampoos! Also travelling for work means I can take this in my luggage without it being an extra liquid!
Claire Westcott (verified owner) –
I loved the smell as soon as I opened the packaging. You need a really small amount to wash your hair. My hair felt lovely and soft after! Love it!
Sarah (verified owner) –
Following a bout of Covid my hair was left damaged and I have been on the lookout for products to improve its condition. I have been using the kelpie shampoo bar for fine hair for just over a week and my hair feels so much healthier! Another added bonus is that it comes without plastic packaging.
Alex (verified owner) –
I have been through so many shampoos both liquid and bar form but this is the one that I will keep.
My hair is clean, no residue and nourished. It lathers! And it rinses out completely- an absolutely wonderful plastic and nasty free bar of wonderful.

This shampoo bar is amazing. It’s lasted me for literally months. Lathered easily, smells gorgeous, cleans beautifully and unlike a lot of shampoo bars I’ve used in the past, it doesn’t end up as mush. It has stayed solid for around 3 months. Brilliant!

I have emailed to ask but waiting for an reply… I would like to place another order but am local to Exeter so would prefer to collect rather than receive via post (particularly when just a small item – is this possible and if so where is the collection point please?
Thank you
Annee
Sophia (store manager) –
Hello Anne. Thanks for the question. The best way to avoid postage if you’re close to Exeter is to choose the “pick up from Soph’s house in Exeter” option. This is available as you process your order online. Alternatively, you may visit Nourish Zero Waste Store in Exeter. They have a great range of my products. Hope this helps and I’m pleased you are enjoying the shampoo and face oil.

I was surprised and delighted by this wonderful product. Having never used a shampoo bar before I was dubious however it exceeded all my expectations. It was so easy to lather up, it felt rich and creamy and I only needed one wash as opposed to my usual two with our hard water. It can only be described as a totally luxurious experience and now I’m a total seaweed product convert!
Anna J. (verified owner) –
My hair looks so shiny and healthy after using the Shampoo bar for fine hair and it lasts for ages! It smells amazing too!

I love this shampoo! Been using a different brand of bar shampoo for a few years that was good and I’ve recommended to others. Wanted to try this, as it’s a local made product and am so pleased I did. Leaves my hair soft and no problems (yet) with build up…I’m on my 2nd bar. As a fine hair person, build up and too much ‘oil’ can weigh down my hair and drying can also be a problem, but not with this. 😊
Shirley (verified owner) –
I have been using this shampoo for several years. It smells lovely, lathers well and leaves my hair feeling clean and shiny. I let it dry between uses and it lasts well, even when it gets towards the end.
