This vegan, plastic-free shampoo bar delivers fresh, lightweight hair with salon-quality results and zero harsh detergents.

Care & 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.

Brand story
Viva La Body started in Darwin during the 1990's when Jo and Micko discovered that they loved making soap! It became their obsession! Over the years they have made hundreds of soap blends and thousands of bars!

They loved learning all about natural ingredients and old skool ways of making perfumes, lotions and potions. For years they immersed themselves in the process of making. Creating all kinds of hair and body products, building their craft, developing their technique.

In 2019 the focus changed to more sustainable products and ways of making them. Viva La Body stopped making products in bottles, jars & tins, became certified palm oil free, certified cruelty free, vegan and plastic free. It was a huge change but it needed to happen.
Then, in 2021, Viva La Body combined their knowledge and experience to a next level, creating a revolutionary range of solid water activated body products that do not need a jar or a bottle to work effectively. Plastic free living is a thing! You can reduce the use of household plastic - starting with your bathroom and your beauty products!

This is a new and exciting space to be and Viva La Body can't wait explore and share it with you.

    Love this solid shampoo

    This shampoo suits my fine hair really well. Leaves my hair soft and clean. Don't need to wash as often as previously and leaves hair and scalp in better condition

    OMG

    I have really thick hair and sensitive skin. I’ve tried a few shampoo/conditioner bars and all of them made my hair like straw and dried out my scalp so severely that it was sore. I tried this bar as a last ditch effort and I am so glad I did. It is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Not only does it smell great, my hair is soft and smooth afterwards, my scalp is not dried out and my hair is clean! Coupled with the conditioning bar and I can’t go wrong. So happy that I finally found a bar that works.

    Lovely shampoo bar

    Lathers and washes hair beautifully. Leaves hair and scalp feeling great, has a great natural perfume and hair lasts days before needing to wash again. Is a bit pricey but bar is long lasting
