I had a few hesitations about switching up my hair care routine from typical shampoo and conditioner in liquid-form to shampoo and conditioner in bar-form. Let's be real, showering is a sacred self-care time and using a bar of soap isn't exactly my idea of luxury. However, it wasn't until I read an article in Vogue praising this shampoo/conditioner bar company that my interest started to sway.
Could bars of shampoo and conditioner actually transform my hair the way this article claimed? I took the plunge so you don't have to and the results are SHOCKING... so shocking in fact, you're going to want to take the plunge too 👀
All my doubts about haircare bars washed away after I tried Nolé!
When I tell you my hair has never felt softer, that's not even an exaggeration. I actually can't stop running my fingers through it. The formula left my hair clean, healthier-looking, and refreshed. It’s addicting! My friends immediately noticed a difference and asked if I got a blowout or tried a new product. Who would've thought ditching liquid formulas would make such a difference!
Also, I want to point out that Nolé offers free shipping on all orders (US only) and a 60-day money-back guarantee. Even better, they're offering MSA readers an exclusive 25% off subscriptions with the code MSA25.
Batana oil is their secret ingredient; you're going to wish you knew about this sooner...
I used to believe most plastic-free shampoos that are free of parabens, sulfates, and silicones would not feel luxurious or build any lather. But that's not the case with Nolé. All the shampoo bars create an amazing lather that will make you forget you’re using a shampoo bar. Let's be real - most shampoos bars are saponified, which means that they're actualllllly just soap...
Nolé, on the other hand, is one of the only shampoo bars on the market that is NOT saponified. Not to mention their secret ingredient, Batana Oil. This stuff is a miracle - soft, shine, AND hair regrowth galore.
This oil contains antioxidants, vitamin E, and good-for-your-hair acids that stimulate hair growth and make hair healthier and more voluminous. This ingredient completely changed my hair for the better and coated it with shine to restore from all the heat-styling tools I use.
It's hyperconcentrated so I use less... AKA it lasts for WAY longer!
Trust me, I am not one to settle for cheaper alternatives in any part of beauty routine just to save a couple bucks. However, I have also learned that a higher price tag does not always equate to higher quality ingredients or better results.
Even though Nolés bars may look small, I was pleasantly surprised that the bars last MUCH longer than bottled shampoo or conditioner. This is probably because there is no water in the formula and they are super concentrated.
The best part is, instead of having to restock new bottles every 1-2 months, I didn't need to order new bars for 3-4 months! When I took this into account, I realized that Nolé shampoo and conditioner bars also save me a ton of $$$.
Traveling with my beauty essentials has literally never been easier!
On top of the fact that my friends could not stop complimenting my shiny locks, I realized that ditching the bottles is super convenient when traveling.
I did not have to worry about buying travel size bottles to get past security at the airport because the entire Nolé Discovery Set is in bar-form.
I'll never be held up at TSA again!
Supporting my Latin roots
Here’s another thing that ultimately sold me on Nolé – they are a woman-powered and Latino-owned company. So, for me, an eco-friendly and effective shampoo and conditioner set that also supports Latin communities was the cherry on top!
