OBIA NaturalsNeem & Tea Tree Shampoo Bar

Left my hair feeling sticky even though I spent ages rinsing. Won't be using again.

It doesn't melt and fall apart in the water and using it has been neat and tidy. I opened one end of the soap and handle it in the plastic wrapper. This way I have avoided a mess. My experience is that it dries very nicely after use. I was looking for a fantastic standard shampoo and this meets my needs perfectly. It was my first time using a bar and it was good. I usually get a good lather on the second go. The product smells wonderful. I don't think it smells like tea tree or neem. It smells more like tropical fruit in my opinion. I also love that it is a family owned & operated business. Solid product.

I'm not gonna lie: I'm using this bar as normal bath soap rather than shampoo soap because it doesn't appear to contain nearly enough neem and tea tree oil to combat the demodex I'm trying to fight off. Having said that, I don't regret this purchase for a second. Because it contains neem and tea tree, I suspect it has at least some ability to ward off demodex migrations to the rest of my body where those little mites have a tougher time thriving. And this soap is so beautifully soft and moisturizing that it's become one of my favorite indulgences. It smells like sweet cherries. The fact that the scent Obia is using is phthalate-free means I can inhale this delicious flavor without feeling like I'm sending my hormones off-kilter.I love this soap. Yes, I know you're not generally supposed to use shampoo bar soap as bath soap, but my skin is so dried out from twice-a-day showers/baths in my fight against demodex, that using this very-moisturizing bar actually works fine. It probably wouldn't work for most people as a daily bath bar.But I had to give this bar the love it deserves. It's divine.

First time using this bar and am very happy. Smells amazing, lathers up and hair is clean. Will definitely be using this shampoo bar again.

Has a pleasant scene. It leaves a hard greasy stiff feeling on my hair after getting out of the shower. Almost as if I already put gel or grease all over my hair to style. It's probably not best for my hair type. I'm Asian American with short straight hair. Any regular commercial shampoo leaves me feeling clear with no residue making it all fluffy and light. But this shampoo definitely stuck on leaving a film and weight. After the second time, I said forget it and used a Suave shampoo to wash off this shampoo to get back to normal. I'll suggest like the rest on here that you might have better luck using this as a soap bar, but I don't prefer to be any residuals at all. I might use this last minute if I want to shower and have an already greased hair to start styling it. It was strong enough to hold a spike or mohawk right out of the shower.

I have 4b, 4c natural hair and this bar makes a really good lather. It leaves my hair squeaky clean and feeling strong. And the scent is amazing, it reminds me of like skittles. It was also very easy to detangle my hair afterwards and didn't leave my hair feeling crunchy or dry.
