Luxury shampoo bar

The Shine Bar is a luxury shampoo bar developed by hairdresser Jonathan Harries to deliver professional hair care results with the convenience of an easy to use bar.

The bar formulation means no wasted product, no bulky plastic bottles and no mess, while the handy reusable storage tin makes it perfect for travel or to take to the gym. Formulated using naturally derived ingredients, the bar also lasts up to four times longer than a standard bottle of liquid shampoo.

Shine Bar creator Jonathan Harries, a hairdresser with over 30 years’ experience and owner of the Shine salon in Brighton, explains why he developed the product “I knew many of my clients would find the convenience of a shampoo bar appealing, and are always looking for ways to reduce their plastic consumption. But as a hairdresser it was important to me that there was no compromise on the results of a professional liquid shampoo- I had to create something that I would be happy to use in the salon.” Shine Shampoo Bar, £9.50 (75g), http://www.shineshampoobars.co.uk/
