I was looking for a shampoo that was long lasting and easy to transport. It fits easily in my toiletry kit. I am deployed to Iraq and have to walk a distance to the showers. The local PX does not have anything but huge bottles of women's shampoo. This soap requires only a small amount to lather up the entire scalp. My head and scalp feel good afterward. It rinses off easily and doesn't burn the eyes. A single bar will last as long as a 24 oz. bottle of shampoo (according to the packaging). It has a pleasant smell and is made from natural ingredients, not unpronounceable chemicals. Great product!

Hi from the frozen tundra in the Midwest. Seen your product in Duluth Trading Co catalog and ordered a couple of bars. Since then have ordered several other products. I too am a little follicle challenged and showing signs of my middle age. I love the shampoo. The first day I used it, my wife asked me if I colored my hair. I laughed as I have never even considered it. I simpley wanted the convince of not having to carry liquid shampoo. I`m a 31 year veteran of the military and live sometimes, in times of field environments and conventional showers and personnel hygiene are rare. Thanks for a great products!

WOW

JR – Started using your shampoo bar and wow. Has made a huge difference. I have a few questions for you. Since using your shampoo I don’t need anything else to hold my hair in place not gels etc. Have you notices this with other customers? Do people use the bars as an overall body wash? Does your soap bar work for shaving or is your cream a better solution?

Dear JR,

When my cat died, I was heartbroken. My husband realized he was breathing better than ever and informed me we would not be having any more pets. I went around heartbroken for about 4 years before he finally felt sorry for me and suggested I get a hypo-allergenic dog. He picked the Bichon Frise. And I promised to wash the dog at least once a week. This is tricky, because it can dry out a dog's skin. Well! --Not with your pet shampoo. Larry has a luxurious coat, healthy skin, sleeps in our bed and gives my family a thousand smiles a day. Thank you for a terrific product.

I bought a bar of the Jojoba & Peppermint Shampoo at our annual herb festival. I was a little skeptical, but I'm sure glad I was curious. It is amazing how clean and full of body my hair feels with this little bar of "soap"! It sure is nice and rare to be pleasantly surpised by a product. Thanks.

thank you very much for your help as well as your support of our military and what we're doing; I also know what I do would be a lot harder without your soap, too!

Your soap.
The good news is, that after years of using expensive, sometimes prescription shampoos, every day just to keep my scalp from degenerating into a mass of scabs I can now go three days without shampooing and my hair does not even feel dirty. The rest of me does though.

The bad news is that your soap has turned me into a slob. I no longer have to shower every day so I don't. I shower when I swim. Your soap is a major treat in my life. I actually, honestly, look forward to using it.

Just another fan letter. My husband is persnickety about soap and I make it worse by not being able to tolerate perfumed soap and thus I end up being the one who has to always buy him his soap. At the time I bought him a new shaving brush (from Duluth Trading) I got a bar of your soap as a "yet one more, let's try this one attempt". He just loves it - finally - so I went online to buy a bunch more and lo and behold, you are located not only in NH, but Cornish. His family has always had a wonderful house there probably not far from you, so we drive there a lot. Do you have some sort of outlet there? By the way, I like the soap too, especially the philosophy behind it and for traveling, but you are looking at a die hard Dr Bronner's fan who has used nothing else at all, ever, since 1970.

I love your shampoo bars and the shampoo shelf. One of our grocery stores(Woodman's) carries them, and I randomly decided to try it one day. My husband and I have been hooked ever since. We used to support Burt's Bees, but were dissatisfied when they basically "sold out" to Clorox. I'm glad we discovered your product, and we're excited to try the things we are ordering. Keep up the great work!!!

Hey James, we are really enjoying the Fergies shampoo. Is this a fairly new product for you guys? I hope that you are able to sell it by the gallon eventually, this would be very good for our grooming, because here at Patique Pet Store, we go through the little bottle very quickly. Do you plan on having any other scents?

Thanks, Ellen - internet

I recently got back from a sail from Annapolis to Bermuda (fantastic passage) and I had the soap (shampoo and natural traveler) with me. It was perfect for the trip - I always felt clean and it was much nicer having just one bar for everything than carrying a bottle of shampoo, bar of soap, can of shaving cream, etc.

Dear Mr. Liggett,

I’ve been using your Original Formula Bar Shampoo going on four days now. I had picked some up at Sugar Hill Sampler per your advice and washed my pillow case and pillow protector as well. I’ll be happily using your bar shampoos everyday hopefully for the rest of my life! I hope they'll always be around! They are truly is a Godsend to me! I had noticed a difference right-away in my hair when towel-drying it after trying your bar shampoo the first time! I noticed how light and clean my hair felt and how soft it was and how good and cleaned it smelled! Everything was much better than I had expected, I must admit! I knew things would be better using your product, but not this good!! I noticed my scalp didn’t itch! My scalp has ALWAYS itched at least a litle after shampooing. Not any longer! It feels great!

The bumps on my scalp are almost gone, too (already!) and it hasn’t even been a week! My facial problems are also clearing up! I had actually started to wash my face with the bar shampoo just to see... I can’t thank you enough for your great product! It feels so good with this blessing not to have an itchy scalp and to be actually ridding my scalp all those painful, leaking bumps and sores I've suffered for sooo long! Not to mention my facial skin problems going away, too!

I had read about hair products ingredients last week on the Internet after having suffered too long with skin problems. I’m 48. I could hardly believe what I had read as I told you this in my email. All the bad chemical ingredients commonly found in hair products really got me thinking. I realized right away I had to get rid of my shampoos and hair conditioners and find a product that was “all natural”. I searched the Internet reading about allergy symptoms from hair products and was led to a blog where someone suggested your Original, Old-Fashioned Bar Shampoo to help rid scalp problems!

As to my allergies, well... I started running a steam humidifier last night and had a great night’s sleep with no sneezing and no runny nose! Both nostrils were almost completely clear this morning when I woke up. So at least my scalp and face are feeling and looking much better! The bumps and sores on my scalp are almost completely all gone! I really believe I'll be compeltely healed of them soon! They're just about completely all gone now! Even the sores and acne on my face are clearing up! What a great product that bar shampoo is!

Thank you very much for your great products! Yesterday I ordered over $100 worth of your original bar shampoo, traveler and two containers of your shaving foam! That's how excited I am to have found this miracle!

I hope to see more of your products in stores someday soon! Your products have been “hidden jewels” in our society! You know?

Best regards to you. Sincerely,

Jesse L. - Sugar Hill, NH

Dear Mr. Liggett & Co.,

Bless you for your fabulous shampoo. I have been working with a group trying to pass a toxic toy / children's products law in CT, and have become very aware of some of the many toxics in plastic bottles. I decided it was time to start practicing what I preached and when I was at Whole Foods recently I asked if they had any old-fashioned bar shampoos. The clerk very enthusiastically showed me a bar of Liggetts. I am also a vegan and an animal rights advocate and I was thrilled to see that you use no animal products. The shampoo does a great job on my hair. I LOVE your shampoo and from now on I'm not using anything else. Thank you so much for your heaven-sent, New Hampshire-made, shampoo. As a health-conscious vegan gal, I'm very grateful.

Be well, and thank you again.

Friends -

I like Liggett's bar shampoo very much and have used it for many years. I'd buy more at once, but I'm very old (87) and, as the saying goes, "I don't buy green banannas".

Bar shampoo is especially good for unstable old folks because I can use the bar with one hand while holding on firmly to a grab-bar with the other hand. All best wishes!

Dear JR, I will never be without a bar of J.R. Liggett's shampoo! I have been using the bar for a week and my hair has never looked or felt as good as it does now. My friends have even commented on my hair looking great! I have very long and thick hair with some natural wave. With this shampoo I do not need conditioner and I do not need to style my hair at all! The formula really compliments my natural waves. The shampoo leaves my hair with the perfect amount of body and softness. Plus, I have no frizz, which I have always struggled with. I only need to wash every other day too.

My very favorite feature of this bar is that it is all natural. Before I always felt that the hair products I used were probably not great for my health. I know this bar shampoo is a healthy choice. My favorite bonus feature of the bar is that I can use it for a face wash too. It even removes my eye makeup in a flash. When I figured this out I immediately tossed my old eye makeup remover products. Now I am using it as a body wash too. So, this bar now substitutes for about 3 other products that I no longer need to mess with! That saves me time and money. The simplicity is nothing short of brilliant. Traveling will be a breeze with this product!

Thanks J.R. Liggett for creating a quality product that performs in so many great ways! I'm very happy that I came across this. I will always have your bar shampoo in my home and in my suitcase!

Theodor (our lab) had the most beautiful, soft coat ever after his shampooing with Fergie's Dog Shampoo. Wow. I felt a bit sceptical at first, since it didn't lather very much and I felt I had to use a lot of product to actually be able to make it work. But he has never been as soft and SHINY, not even as a puppy. I also think he smelled clean for longer afterwards. Other shampoos leave his coat shiny and clean smelling for a day or two, the effects of Fergie's laste much longer.

Hi

I have really enjoyed the shaving cream. It makes shaving fun. I am keeping the goatee so I have more face to shave.

The funny thing is I have always hated shaving and I grew a beard when young so I could avoid it. With your shaving cream I actually look forward to shaving.

It could be my imagination but I swear my hair stays cleaner longer, i.e. an extra day, with your soap. I have had no scalp issues at all and my hair feels much nicer, cleaner. When you live at the beach those little things mean a lot.

Greetings! I guess I should start my letter with an old cliché: "Where have you been all of my life?". I have suffered from dry skin and dermatitis, especially on my hands, for literally decades. Every Winter, my hands crack and split and develop "hot spots" that just won't stop making me itch. I have used almost every soap and non-soap on the market, and prescription medicines, all to some avail but essentially just "quieting" the symptoms. That all changed a few months ago, and at age 48.

I ordered a few items from Duluth Trading Company and noticed your shampoo/soap on their site, so I decided to give it a try. The idea that it just MIGHT help restore hair was an added benefit. After just a few uses, I noticed that my dry hands were noticeably smoother, and that my itchy spots didn't itch. My partner noticed that I wasn't slathering on cremes and ointments at night as usual. Using it in the shower, I was amazed at how the bar would lather well, but not leave much of a trace of suds. As for my hair, well, that may take a while longer to see, but so far, I am thankful for my first Winter season in MANY, MANY years that I have not have had to deal with medicines, lotions, ointments, doctor bills, and especially, dry skin. Your shampoo bar lathers well, gives a good clean, and rinses away with no residue. As I said, "where have you been all of my life?".

I have replaced ALL of the soaps in the house with your products, and everyone in the house is AMAZED at how well it cleans, and how well it WORKS. This will be our regular soap/shampoo, from Winter to Summer and on camping trips, vacations..... even our Corgi has been treated to a wonderful Liggett's shampoo, and HIS hot spots are GONE!

I've just placed another order from Duluth for several more bars of your shampoo, that to add to my "horde" I have already stashed away. I will not use any other soap or shampoo again; that is a pretty big statement, but it's true. After a month using your shampoo/soap, I'm hooked. THANK YOU for a wonderful product and THANK YOU for making this cold season bearable for once. I'm now anxious to try your other products, but for now, I LOVE this stuff!

Best Regards, S. H. - Seattle, WA

I wanted to write about my wonderful experience with your damaged hair formula shampoo bar. I moved to a few years ago to a place with soft water and it's been one bad hair day. Whatever shampoo I used would make my hair limp, greasy and scalp itchy. In search of a good shampoo I've spent thousands from salon to natural types nothing has worked. I found this at my local health food store and it was literally the last one I had not tried. Just the thought of one product made me giddy as simplicity is important in my routine. I used it on my long color treated hair and didn't even need conditioner which is unusual since my hair gets pretty tangled usually. The result after one week is shiny, bouncy full hair with less shedding. Thank you for making such an awesome product.

It is so hard to find your product here in the city, and when I do, I buy multiples! It makes my hair feel so clean without ever drying it out. I will definately remember to bring it along next time I travel, to beat the silly new airline restrictions. Cheers!!!

Dear JR

There really ought to be a law against your bar shampoo. It must be addictive! Once I started using it, I was spoiled for any other kind of shampoo. Even with conditioner, nothing else comes close to or feels as clean and as easy to manage as a JR Liggett shampoo on my hair. I always knew that Lauryl Sulphate was to blame! But yours doesn't have any, which is one reason it probably works so well. Thanks.

Thank you. I'm so glad to hear that all your products are gluten free! I love your shampoos and have been using them exclusively for a couple of years. They are the only shampoos that don't make my head and back itch. I gave a couple of bars to my mom for a gift since she's had itchy scalp all her life. So now, I have to get her backups whenever she runs out, since she lives in a rural area without a store that sells them.

I'm also committed to the environment and love the packaging. Everytime I open a bar, I think "That's one less plastic bottle used." Keep up the great work!

My husband had terrible dandruff and had tried everything to get rid of it. He figured he was stuck with it. Then I had him try your Tea Tree Oil bar. After just once use the dandruff was significantly reduced. One week later, it was gone and his hair was soft and shiny where it used to be dull and dry. I've been a customer going on three years-I love your shampoo and now my husband does too.

Dear Mr. Liggett,
I love the Original Bar. I am an expensive-salon-product-buyer from way back. But I tried the bar as I was attracted in my natural foods store to the minimal packaging, no animal products or animal testing, natural ingredients, socially-progressive production circumstances. My hair feels clean and light and has shine and texture. I am left wondering, yet again, why I bought expensive products for so long that weren't really right for me. Thanks for making great products available through a company that I can feel very good about supporting.

Please send me an order form. I need to order some unscented Bar Shampoo about 20 bars, I'm getting low. I've become allergic to all shampoos except yours. I hope you never go out of business. If you do let me know I'll need enough to last until I die - Ha Ha! Your shampoo is the very best.

Your bar shampoo is awesome, I got it at the local health food store, it feels kindve sticky or something, its totally different than the average liquid shampoo , but now my hair looks so much better, doesnt tangle either when I wash it, the lather is awesome, smells good, I dont think im ever turning back to convectional shampoo ever.

Just wanted to say that i LOVE the shampoo bars! I ordered the Tea Tree Oil bar and was very skeptical on it working on my itchy scalp issues that i had for about a year since i never used a shampoo bar before. Within two days of using the Tea Tree my dry itchy scalp have completely recovered! I keep on checking my scalp to see if i have a reaction again and so far nothing. not only did the bar lather quiet well but it rinsed out so clean that i have had no build up whatso ever.. plus i was surprised i didnt need a conditioner. I just shampooed once ,rinsed and thats it! I used the Original bar that came with the wooden soap holder and thats just as good! I wish i knew about this a year ago! Im looking into buying more of the Tea Tree and trying the Damaged Formula bar next. Do u have stores in Ca that carry these wonderful bars ?

I was diagnosed about 20 years ago (age 16) with seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp and eyebrows. It came and went over the years, sometimes with huge painful itchy scabs on part of my scalp, but was always flaky and dandruffy. I'm 36 now and have been using your products for a couple months.....I have just tiny tiny flaky spots where they've always been huge! Either the chemicals I was using were causing the problem or at the very least exacerbating it. Thank you so much for producing something so gentle and natural!! I love it!

Hello,
I discovered your shampoo bar at my local Health Food Store and  decided to give it a try. I had tried other shampoo bars and found  that they left my hair feeling as if I'd never shampooed it in the  first place. Kind of coated and waxy. Yours is one of the best  shampoo's that I have used, and you're right, I don't even need a  conditioner. Thanks for a great product!

Mr. Liggett,

Several years ago I began suffering with a constant itchy, dry scalp. My father had severe dandruff as far back as I could remember and I figured that my genes were proving true to my ancestry. The typical response is to use a commercially available medicated shampoo. However, I’m not wild about all the chemicals that are in today’s commercial products so I asked a nurse friend if she could recommend anything. She immediately told me to look for a natural product that contained tea tree oil. I contacted my sister who owns a homeopathic business and asked her is she had any such product. I began using your shampoo bar with tea tree oil and the relief was almost immediate. I have been relatively itch and dandruff free since that time and have not used any other shampoo product since.

I’ve been to Italy on construction trips twice since then and was pleased that your shampoo bar also made an excellent body soap. Space was very limited for personal gear and taking such a compact product for all of my washing needs was great.

Thanks so much for this product.

Hi there--I am placing my second large order for your wonderful products!! I brag about how good your bar shampoo is, that I have sold or given away my stash of extra bars!!! I never in a million years thought a bar shampoo would work on my hair---but it sure does and I don't even need a conditioner anymore!! My daughters long, fine, blond hair has gone from stringy and oily looking to full, shiny and healthy!! Another unexpected bonus is that not only is my hair NOT falling out in hanfuls anymore---but I have fuzzy new growth--and I am a young woman!! I just gave a bar away last night to a friend who is losing his hair and I am purchasing a Traveler set for my brother who is also losing his hair!! We have tried other bar shampoos, but yours is the only one that does not leave a 'gunky' feeling! Saving the environment AND full heads of hair---what a company!!

I just got my first spray bottle of your Essential Body Oil in the White Sage scent. This is the skin care product I have been waiting all my life for. I use it after I shower and I put it on my face at night before I go to bed. My skin is so much softer and my face is smoother, plus I love the scent. It's not flowery or heavy like so many skin care lotions and creams-just nice and clean. I'm going to order another bottle right away so I always have a spare-like your shampoo I don't ever want to run out!

Just as your bar shampoo solved all my dry, tangled, unhealthy hair problems (I have thick wavy hair down to my waist, and no amount of conditioner could undo the damage of shampooing it) and I've had no need of conditioner since I started using it, your face & body wash also solved all my dry skin problems. In the winter my skin used to get so dry after I showered that It tingled painfully if I didn't cover my entire body with moisturizer once before drying off and then again afterwards. As you can imagine, this was very time-consuming and not even terribly effective, but since I started using your body wash, I haven't needed any moisturizer at all, and the oly place I get dry skin now is my hands, from washing them with other kinds of soap throughout the day when I'm not at home.

Thanks so much again for making all this wonderful stuff--I'm telling everyone I know about it!

We have been using your 'Original' bar for over 14 years. As environmentally conscious and health aware people I was impressed with your low-impact, natural ingredients approach since I was first introduced to your Old-Fashioned Bar Shampoo. You asked about where we heard of your product. A good friend and colleague in Osteopathic Medical School gave me my first bar. Honestly, because it didn't come in a plastic bottle and in liquid form, your bar sat on my shelf for a few months. However, once I braved the change and tried your bar there was no looking back. My children have used nothing other than Liggett's shampoo from infancy on and from first I tried it your shampoo bar remains our shampoo of choice. Thank you very much!

Dear Mr. Liggett,

Just one more thank you for providing such a kick ass product. I first tried your shampoo on a whim. Granted I'm a sort of a hip, urban hippie, so the minimal packaging was very attractive to me. I've been disappointed before by crunchy hair care products, and I was expecting a let down, but figured what the hell.

But, I freakin love your product. It's fabulous. I just bought my fourth bar. I even bought an extra one for traveling. I tell everyone I know. It drives my hair dresser crazy, because she can't believe my hair's in such good shape from hippie soap, and she can't sell me plastic bottles of overpriced, eco-diva hair products any more.

It's even true about not needing conditioner! You're a genius (okay someone last century from New England was a genius too, but you're the modern genius).

I'm lucky to have been born with good hair, but just as lucky to have found your product. You keep making it and I'll keep buying it.

Much, much gratitude,
Leah (Tacoma, WA)

Hi,
 
Love the damaged/dry formula soap!  (It's one of only two brands on the market that I can use on my sensitive hair and scalp.) Would you ever consider changing the label to include the word "dry?" I know it's hard to fit in.....my reason: My hair isn't damaged, and I like "positive" labels. Thanks for a fantastic product.

I tried your bar shampoo a couple of weeks ago; and I love it.  I like the way it leaves your hair looking healthy.  I like the way it washes out clean; and that you don't need conditioners.  It will save me money, as well as doing a great job.  I also used it on my little pampered dog.  I liked the way it made her look.  She didn't mind her bath with it either.  I especially liked the easy rinse out for her.   Thank you,

I am an African-American woman with dreadlocks. I have struggled to find a shampoo to maintain my hair; I even disliked the products my hairdresser recommended. Your Dry Hair Formula has been my saving grace. I no longer need to use the oils, butters and pomades often recommended for kinky hair types. My dreadlocks are soft, supple and only require your shampoo--no conditioners or anything else. Please continue making your Dry Hair Shampoo bar product. I have even given it to friends and family as gifts.

I can sum it up in a few lines. Liggett's shampoo is the only shampoo I can use on my scalp. No other shampoo I've tried works. Liggett's shampoo goes wherever I go. That's why I need my Traveler.

In 1989, we bought this bar of shampoo for a bicycle trip, and its compactness, lightness AND superlative quality was perfect. We saved it and used it on later trips in 1993, 1998, 2002, and 2005, and it is nearly used up. Do you still make it? If so, we would like a dozen bars. Our slow minds have finally realized it is better than any of the liquid ones, and we would like to use it regularly. Thanks and Good Wishes.

Thanks for the info, Fergie. I wanted to try your shampoo because I like Burt's but it leaves my hair kinda dull. As it happens, I found a bar of your original formula in Henry's Market and tried it and it lathers a lot more easily so it's better for my long hair. It also left my hair very shiny. I think I definitely am going to switch from Burt's bar shampoo - yours is better.

After many years of wearing my hair long, I decided to cut it short. After a hair cut or two, a stylist mentiond that my scalp looked irritated. I had written it off to increased sun exposure, but she said many people are sensitive to SLES, and suggested I avoid it (first I had heard of it). Easier said than done -- that stuff is in almost everything! Soon after ,I saw your unassuming little white bar amongst the flashy bottles of shampoos and (now unnecessary) conditioners at my local Co-op. Its simple, informative packaging spoke clearly to me, and I have not since (and likely will not ever) use any other shampoo, due to my complete and utter satisfaction with it in every regard. Most importantly, it works great! All the other benefits, accurately listed on the wrapper, are frosting on the cake. Thank you for offering a high-quality, safe, effective, low-impact product!

When I discovered Liggett bar shampoo a few weeks ago, I was skeptical as to how well a bar shampoo would work, especially in hard water and on very dirty hair. But it works very well, and is easier on my hair and beard than "conventional" liquid shampoos. Smells good, too. Thanks for a great product.

Thanks for the additional reply. I will definitely tell my sister about the Tea Tree Oil/Hemp bar. We talked long distance earlier today, and she mentioned again that since starting the shampoo bar, it's the first relief that she's had in 20 years [from psoriasis]. She said her scalp isn't perfect, but it's the closest she's ever been to it. Perhaps the Tea Tree bar will get her there.

I used your shampoo bar (original) for the first time today, and I am thrilled! I told my husband tonight that we will no longer be requiring additional shampoo products.

I need to take a minute and write to you guys and tell you how much I appreciate your "Old Fashioned Shampoo". This is a great old recipe. I take it camping and always have a bar in my suitcase for out of town travel in case I get stuck someplace that doesn't have a decent shampoo to offer.

It is superb: the way it lathers in hard, cold lake water and rinses to a "T" -- well, it's just amazing. Tell me you're not a subsidiary of Colgate or some other big conglomerate.

Hope your company continues to prosper and put food on the table while providing customers like me with a great product!

Used my hemp face wash last night.  Wow!  It really left my skin feeling smooth, and I use all natural soap, too. Sometimes with the "natural" soaps, they leave my skin feeling like I wasn't able to get it all washed off.  Leaves a greasy kind of residue.  Other cleansers leave my skin feeling tight.  Yours was right in the middle, where it should be. My skin felt clean but not dry.  It was really nice.  Yours was the bowl of porridge that was JUST RIGHT...!

Hello,

I was happy to recieve my order and have a few comments:  I am african american with natural, color treated hair that has a tendency to be dry and brittle.  After using the dry damaged shampoo bar I will never use any other shampoo!

I find that the description of the foam face and body wash,  body scrub and body oil way too modest!  I have extremely sensitive skin and using regular soap products caused allergic reactions like eczema rashes.  The luxurious foam delivered by the pump of the face and body wash cleanse and moisturize to perfection.  Finishing your shower by using the body scrub and the body oil is the best treatment you can give yourself without going to a spa.  I love bathing again!!!  The climate here in Denmark is cold and humid and the water is hard - I have spent 13 years trying a gamut of body products from pharmaceutical products (prescribed and over the counter) to department store exclusive brand and the many products available from health food store and nothing has worked as well as the products I've enjoyed using for a month now.

Again - the quality and luxurious feel of the products are in my opinion amazing.  I will be re-ordering the 16 oz foam face and body wash - I need to find a way to order in bulk!!!

Thanks again for the lovely phone conversation just before the holidays - I will be in touch soon.

Best Regards, Patisa (Internet)

After a round of chemo I developed sores on my head, and I tried everything to give me some relief. I was just about to give up, and found your bar shampoo advertised in a magazine. I ordered two bars, and couldn't wait to try it. I love how clean it makes me feel. I use it as a whole body wash. I could go on and on about what a great product it is, I just wish I could find a store that has it. I never want to be without this product.

Thank You, Sharon (internet)

I was skeptical.  Not anymore!
     After a week of using your product, my hair feels like it did when I was a kid!  It is soft and clean feeling.  My scalp feels clean, not dry and itchy.  My hair is wonderfully managable!  I have naurally curly hair (and of late, a lot of white in it).  It is coarse and curly!  I have always had to use a conditioner or "no tangles" product just to get a brush through my hair.  Not with your product!
     I am using the original recipe and I am thrilled with the lack of strong fragrance.
     I am amazed at the lather, as well.
     I like that I am not using chemicals on my hair/scalp.  I especially like that I am not adding to the non-biodegradable garbage hitting the landfills.  I also like that I am not adding to the chemical "runoff" damaging our water supply.  Think of all the time and water we save by not having to "condition" our hair after stripping everything from it with ordinary shampoo.
     I am trying to convince my husband that he will like it, too.  Someday!
     Thank you for your very user friendly and earth friendly product!

I was so glad to find your web site. Your shampoo s the only shampoo available that does not make my scalp itch and get sore. The last time I ordered I ordered quite a few bars and I am just about out. I was worried that I would not be able to find more. Once in a while I try something else and sure enough after a few days I begin to itch and a film begins to accumulate on my scalp. Thank God for your product. PS. It also makes my white hair look better.

I just wanted to let you know how excited I was several months ago when I found your website.  Some years back I had found your shampoo in Cracker Barrel Stores in my area. I tried it.  For once my head did not itch or break out. Then I ran out of shampoo and tried to find it again.  I checked Cracker Barrel after Cracker Barrel and most of time could not find it.  If I asked, I could sometimes get them to check the stock room and then sell me the few cakes of shampoo that that they might have left.  Then I could not find it at all.  I tried other bar shampoos but they just didn¹t do what yours did. I asked the lady that makes the soap that I used and she stated that she had tried to make a bar shampoo, but it left her hair so oily that she did try again and she did not know of any that worked.  I told her of your product.

Then I found your website several months ago and ordered from you.  My hair is looking great again.  The people who trim my hair always comment on how healthy my hair is. I always tell them about your great product.

Thank you so much for making the product available on the web.

Greetings!! My husband and I just started using your shampoo and we are INSTANT CONVERTS!!  The lather, fabulous, and the scent, well...just clean!  What else does a person need?  I just ordered 4 more bars and the display shelf--we'll never use anything else!  As a classical homeopath, I am very excited about the natural, gentle aspect of the product and can't wait to try some of your other items.  Keep up the great work--the world needs you!

Sincerely,
Julie--Northern Minnesota

For the past five years I have been using your shampoo bar. I am writing to tell you I think it's the greatest. My hair dresser saw me using it and was amazed at the lather. I am telling all my friends about the shampoo. Please keep on making it and I'll keep on using it.
Yours truly,

Hi, I wrote in earlier about your shampoo seeming to make my hair too oily and got a prompt response from your company.  Anyway, just wanted to write back and say that you were right! It seems that my head was so used to being stripped of oil that it was in a cycle of overproducing, and needed a little bit of time to adjust......I kept using the shampoo, and within a week everything normalized, and my hair is looking great! I have long hair and like others who have written in, I have not had to use conditioner since using your bar.  Also, my scalp seems to finally be producing just the right amount of oil, not to little, not too much.  The main reason that I actually switched to your shampoo is that I like very much the idea of not creating the waste of a plastic bottle.  I was willing to accept your product, even if it was not quite as good as traditional shampoo and have been so pleasantly surprised by the results.  This shampoo is GREAT and I am a convert for life.  My hair is in better shape an ever and I am helping the environment.

PS.  I just ordered the travel container and can't wait to receive it.

"A little over 1 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer & eventually underwent chemotherapy with the subsequent hair loss. As my hair grew back it cam in curly (I had smooth, fine thin hair prior to this), thicker, fuller (a common effect of chemo). However all the shampoos I had used and new ones I tried seemed to strip the curl and wave right out. I was so disappointed. Until my mother shared a bar of your tea tree and hemp oil formula.

"It is now the only shampoo I will use. The curious thing is that the reason my mother had tried your product in the 1st place was that she had been suffering from true alopecia (hair loss) to the point where she was totally bald and was wearing wigs.

"Neither of us realized it at the time but her own hair loss loosely coincided with my own and she now has hair and does not need to wear a wig!!

"Curious, isn't it? So, thank you for the determination it takes to put out a product like yours. We absolutely love it!"

"My hair is well past my waist and very thick. It used to tangle in a split second and had a tendency to dryness. I've used a great many shampoos...ordinary name brands from supermarket and drug store, salon brands...things that cost $20 a bottle. A few years back, I switched to the types fond in health food stores...those were good, but not always that good. As for conditioners, I use to use buckets of the stuff! I used to use two and a half bottles of conditioner for every bottle of shampoo...I had so much detangling and breakage. I was almost on the point of cutting my hair, then I heard about Liggett's...I think I read about it at some web-site about the care of very long hair. So I tried it.

"I love it! I use the Dry Hair formula and it is so wonderful. It smells lovely, feels great and is easy to lather and rinse (usually a problem for me). No tangles, no nests of hair caught in my comb after washing. I now only use an occasional dab of conditioner and only once in a rare while.

"And I have been getting compliments on my hair! One of these days, I am going to try it on my dog...he's a molasses-colored Pomeranian with long, thick hair."

-- PaulaAnne S. / Albany, NY 8/02

"Just wanted to tell you that I bought a bar of your shampoo about 6 years ago in Vermont when I lived there. I never tried it but carried it with me through several moves. I just tried it last week and it is wonderful. My scalp doesn't itch as it does with every brand of shampoo I've ever used. My hair is all bouncy and shiny which is amazing as I have thin hair that is always weighed down with commercial shampoos and conditioners - even the ones that are formulated for thin hair. I love how clean and neat the whole concept of a bar shampoo is. Anyway, I am glad to hear your business is doing well as I know I'll be ordering again! 6 years is a long time to wait - I cringe when I think of the money I would have saved (and the impact on the environment I would have avoided) if I'd just given it a try sooner! Well, better late than never!"

"I tried your shampoo for the first time and I was amazed!!! I am currently on treatment for Hep C and the drugs have made my hair dry and brittle. I washed it one time with your damaged hair formula and it looks better than it ever has. Soft and curly and very full. I have lost about half my hair due to the harsh detergents in commercial shampoos. I look like I have a full head of hair for a change.

"This is great stuff. Is there anyway I can order a case of the damaged hair shampoo? I'd like to give some out to the other folks I know who are also on this same drug therapy. We all have trouble with broken hair and skin rashes due to harsh detergents."

-- Linda A. / Internet 7/02

"Originally I bought your shampoo because I liked the idea of a product that didn't result in a plastic bottle in a landfill, but I must tell you that it greatly exceeded my expectations. I have long, thick hair and I've always needed to use a separate conditioner to control frizz. Unfortunately by the end of the day my hair would be flat and oily, and there was nothing I could do about it.

"On the contrary! With your shampoo my hair looks just as clean at the end of the day as it does at the beginning. And it's not frizzy. I'm amazed at how cleanly and quickly it rinses, and I just recommended it to a co-worker who camps. When you have as much hair as I do, a great shampoo isn't just one of the small pleasures of life, it's a downright joy!"

-- Kimberly R. / Internet 5/02

"I am allergic to all soaps, shampoos, and detergents. I also suffer from food allergies. Taking a shower and washing my hair was a nightmare. The severe itching and hives were constantly being misdiagnosed by my allergists. I do not use soap to bathe and had a very difficult time with my hair-even cutting it short. Actually, I found out that by not using soap for bathing that my skin is very soft and that I do not have body odor.

"While visiting en Arlington, VA, where my husband was doing a seminar, I stumbled upon a unique little store that sold 1950's items and there on the shelf was your shampoo. What the heck, it can only be as bad as everything else and I am at my wits end. I couldn't have been more ecstatic. I can shampoo and get out of the shower without the hives and itching. You are a lifesaver. I would like to try your shampoos for bathing but am very nervous about the ingredients since I am allergic to lemons, almonds, eggs, and some other things. Thank you for your wonderful old fashioned product."

-- Louise F. / Internet 12/01

"I was found to be allergic to cocamide, the foaming agent in most shampoos. The only clue was persistent eczema behind my ears and neck. I have atopic eczema and generally very dry skin. My scalp is usually dry and flaky. The hypoallergenic shampoos I was using made me lose hair. I was skeptical about our shampoo and thought it would strip all the life out of my hair.

"I was wrong! Your shampoo is great! And very economical. I've gotten some strange looks from people at the gym but I absolutely love your shampoo and my hair looks great. I have highlights and don't need any conditioner!"

-- Kira P. / Internet 11/01

"I just recently had major spinal cord surgery back in May. I started loosing quite a bit of my hair cause I wasn't allowed to shower and get my hair completely wet. Plus I was wearing a cervical neck brace that had to stay on 6-8 weeks. Hated it! Then the magical moment came yeah!!! Freedom and happiness once again. After I've been using the shampoo bar for awhile I got nearly immediate results. My hair follicles became stronger & my hair healthier looking. People who were taking care of my personal needs saw it instantly, yes - right on! Thanks again for discovering and continuing to make a product that's beneficial to us. Delicate enough not to hurt animals too. Special Hello to Fergie..."

-- Toni R. / Internet 9/01

"I am a new user to your shampoo thanks to my sister, who has been using your product for years. She uses it as a body soap as well, and recommends your product highly. She's been trying to convince me for years, and I finally decided to listen when she mentioned this time that she's noticed a lessening of skin allergies. You see, sensitivity to soaps and fragrances runs in our family, and we have to put our clothes through many rinses as well as being careful about what we buy. We also can only use non-fragrance dish soaps, etc. She says she has noticed a decline in her sensitivity over the years, and she was even more sensitive that I was.

"Another reason I decided to finally try your product was because as I approach 40 I have noticed that my skin is drier and my hair was starting to get split ends and have other problems it never had before. I was actually starting to have to use conditioner for the first time in my life, and moisturizers for my skin. None of these were really working. Neither were the treatments for my adult acne, which was refusing to go away. After only one week with using just your shampoo (the original formula) as both shampoo and body "soap", I've noticed that my hair is softer and feels cleaner, and my skin is softer and clear of blemishes. I'm glad you found the recipe and decided to make and sell your wonderful product! Thank you."

-- Diane L. / Daugherty Twp., PA 7/01

"I was in a natural food store in Chattanooga, TN a week ago. Even though I am usually pretty skeptical of all these "natural" products the lack of a plastic bottle was enough to convince me to give your shampoo a try. Now that I've tried it - I'll never use anything else!

"I am 42 years old and have suffered from an irritated and flaking scalp my whole adult life. Having tried all sorts of medicated and gentle shampoos for years without relief, I had convinced myself that I suffered from some sort of psoriasis. I dreaded washing my hair because the dandruff under my fingernails seemed to never end. But after the first usage of "Liggett's Old-Fashioned Bar Shampoo" my scalp was no longer red and flaky. For the first time in my memory I can run my fingers through my hair without causing a snowstorm. The results are absolutely amazing - there's no more dandruff!

"I've never been so thrilled about a product as I am about your shampoo!"

-- Ted L. / Hixson, TN 4/01

"For some time now, I have been experiencing difficulties whenever I would wash my hair, It didn't matter if I were using an expensive brand or an inexpensive brand of shampoo. I would get headaches, my scalp would burn and I would wind up rinsing it out again. I wasn't always this sensitive -- just something that developed through time. Anyway, I tried your shampoo bar and voila! No such symptoms arose.

"Also want to thank your staff for their prompt attention to my most recent re-order of your bar shampoo. It certainly fills a need for me and, I am sure for many others like me."

-- Susanne B. / W. Hartford, CT 3/01

"We just began using your shampoo last week and I've never tried anything like it. My hair had become very thin and frail looking this year due to sudden weight loss, which I was required to achieve because of a serious medical condition. I was used to having lots of healthy, shiny hair. NO shampoo I tried seemed to help...until I tried your bar shampoo. My hair is shiny and much more healthy looking even after just a couple shampoos. I also don't have to shampoo nearly as often. It's great."

-- Marsha L./ Internet ll/00

"My husband was very adamant that I try to find your shampoo somewhere. Good thing I tried the Internet. Your shampoo cleans our hair more thoroughly then any other brand used and leaves my fine limp hair...fuller and bright, unlike other ones that weigh it down with residue and leave it and me...flat! Rinses out well and last long considering we both use it daily! So, I will be ordering it regularly...we're hooked and convinced, thanks."

-- Barb B. / Internet 9/99

"Last Jan. or Feb. I began to have a new and somewhat extensive "crud" develop on my scalp. I quickly went back from Pert Shampoo/Conditioner combo to trustee Head & Shoulders. No deal! The problem continued. I read about you and your shampoo in "Ozark Cooperative Warehouse" bulletin and decided to try your Tea Tree shampoo. One shampoo and "bingo" the scalp cleared up!!! Next I bought an Original bar (before I came close to using up the first bar) so, I could get your wooden "Shampoo Shelf" holder. I have been so pleased! But that's not the end of my story.

"My dog Chester had fleas really badly so I used "Program" a pill to get rid of them, but all he did was get worse by scratching chewing and itching himself. After a period of time poor Chester had an intractable skin rash. His skin turned black over large areas and he lost a lot of his hair. SO. Yes, you guessed it, I used your shampoo on him and his skin cleared, and his hair all grew back! Afraid I still use Frontline for fleas, but he no longer spends all his time scratching! I told my vet and donated a bar for other pups with such rashes. Thank you so much - it's easier to use on me and pup, too."

-- Carol W. / Eros, LA 10/98

"I just tried your Original Bar Shampoo, and I find it to be "the finest" shampoo I've ever used. The scent is exquisite, and the fact that it is a healthy formula, is environmentally friendly, and leaves my hair lustrous and clean, has made me a loyal customer. Please never change your formula, & never stop making your shampoo."

-- Selene S. / Hyampom, CA 8/98

"I'm sure you have heard it all before but this shampoo is nothing short of awesome. I have been using every "healthy" product known to man and they all fall short, including Aubrey organics. I don't forsee me using anything else ever again and was at first highly impressed with how quickly I could rinse, which was a big problem in the past, but then came the comments from everyone I knew about how great my hair looked!!!! I am very happy to hear about the carrying case...when can I get some?"

-- Thanks, Mary Lou, Columbus, OH Email 8/17/00

"I was so relieved to find your site online!! My neighbors gave me a sample of your shampoo that they were selling in their craft/gift/homemade candy shop. My husband and I loved it and have used it since, as does my sister in Atlanta and a niece in PA. But, the craft store is closing and I can no longer get the shampoo there. My husband was very adamant that I try to find it somewhere. Good thing I looked here!!! Your shampoo cleans our hair more thoroughly than any other brand used and leaves my fine limp hair.. fuller and bright, unlike other ones that weigh it down with residue and leave it and me...flat!! Rinses out well and lasts long considering we both use it daily! So, I will be ordering it regularly... we are hooked and convinced!"

-- Thanks, Barb B. Email 9/16/99

"As a consultant, Pharmacist, I recently had an opportunity to try your Old Fashioned Bar Shampoo. I find it to be all that you claim it to be, leaving your hair soft, healthy and smelling clean. For these reasons and many more, I would like very much to recommend this shampoo to the 10 Physicians in our Medical Center."

-- Joseph D./Rhode Isl. 4/21/98

"My skin is so sensitive that my hands will break out in a rash from most shampoos - Not only does your shampoo leave my hair much more beautiful - my skin does not react adversely - and, as a bonus - there's no plastic bottle to throw away!"

-- Barbara W./St. Croix 5/97

"My husband is black and says it is the best shampoo he ever had for Afro hair. Afro hair is - as you know - hard to handle, but with your shampoo it is no longer a problem. You should advertise in Black magazines, don't you think?

-- Hilde K./Naples, FL 11/96

"Your shampoo is especially important to me as I have multiple allergy-sensitivities and I have had difficulty finding a product I can use. Your product fills the bill for me . I find it comfortable to use, it leaves the hair in excellent condition and is economical as well."

-- Sylvia B./Windsor, Ont. 10/96

"I'm a young woman with long hair who is suffering from male pattern baldness, I was thrilled to find that this shampoo gives me full, bouncy hair without having to use the much harsher shampoos available on the market to help "thicken" thin, fine hair. Your shampoo did the trick."

-- Susan S./Sterling, Va 12/96

"As a person with psoriasis, I have to be very careful about what types of products I use on my person, including my afflicted scalp. I tried your shampoo bar, and was very pleased with the results. It works about 75 - 80% as well as the prescription shampoo, yet cost only 25% as much (not to mention the Doctors visit). I have recommended your product to other people with psoriasis, and thought you would like to know."
