The Independent, 23 March 2021: 'This unassuming shampoo and body bar is a real must have if you haven't yet tried a solid shampoo. ... For effectiveness as a product, No Secrets was also a firm favourite and one we’d readily recommend to friends wanting to try out a solid shampoo for the first time.’

Your Solo Routine
Swirl the bar in your hands, or hair, with water to create a lather. Rinse and repeat for maximum bubble effect. Gently massage the scalp and skin; rinse thoroughly for clean, healthy hair and body.
Store out of direct water flow, in a cool, dry well ventilated place, preferably on a draining dish or in a soap saver bag, out of direct sunlight. (see Accessories)
We’ve gone tintastic!
Solo Bars come in a tin. Please reuse or recycle with your drink and food cans! We've chosen tins for our packaging as they are infinitely recyclable. They protect the bar on its journey to you, help preserve the moisture levels in the bar before the use and are perfect for when you travel!

SUSTAINABLE
Each Solo Bar is hand poured in England. Our core ingredients are COSMOS and ECOCERT approved. We never use palm oil and have chosen tin to package items in, as it is infinitely recyclable and protects our bars in transit.
-
THE POWER OF NATURAL
We only used plant based ingredients because, rather than stripping your scalp and skin of its natural oils, our formulations - free of sulphates, silicones and known toxins - bring balance back to your shower routine.

LABEL FATIGUE?
Us too! We promise that every product, across our entire brand, is free of any questionable ingredient with a bad press (they won’t suddenly sneak into future launches either – we hate that).
SOLO Shampoo & Body Bar is a Winner Baby!
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s it like to use a bar?
We appreciate that, the first time you use a bar, is a bit scary, but Solo is easy to use. You can either create some lather in your hands and apply it to your hair, or you can rub the bar into the roots of your hair and work up the lather from there.
If using as a body bar, we suggest creating lather in your hands, placing the bar down, and then applying the lather over your body. If you take the bar and rub it up and down your limbs, it won’t last as long!
You can also use a ‘soap saver’ bag and apply the bar through the bag. See Accessories.
We recommend storing the bar on a soap ladder, or in a dish that drains, outside of the shower. That way the bar hardens between uses and, therefore, lasts longer. Most importantly, the bar should not sit in water, as it will soften and not last as long.
Can I use it everywhere?
Solo is formulated as a head to toe product. I, and many customers, also use it on their face. As long as you don’t have specific skin conditions, this may work for you too.
Oh and, by the way, it also works as an emergency clothes wash if you’re away!
Solo is about freedom from multiple bottles, so experiment and let us know how you get on!
Can children use Solo?
Solo is formulated for anyone aged 5 and over.
Does it lather?
Absolutely! And it you apply to your hair, rinse and repeat, the lather really kicks in. You can create even more lather by using a Konjac sponge (see Accessories).
How long does it last?
It depends on the length of your hair. On my shoulder length, thick hair, a bar can last 20+ washes.
When travelling, our experience is that one bar, if used as recommended, will last for at least 2 weeks for one person.
Does my hair have to get used to it?
Absolutely not! There is no need for your hair to 'get used' to Solo Bars.
And it is not a problem to switch between other brands of shampoo and Solo.
Can I use on colour treated hair?
Yes, Solo is sulphate free so doesn’t affect your hair colour. Infact, some clients say that, since switching to Solo, their colour lasts longer.
Can I use on curly hair?
Yes, customers with curly hair have found the natural oils in Solo support their curls, making them easier to manage. Some customers also report a reduction in frizz.
How often do I need to wash my hair?
It is gentle enough to use every day but customers tell us that, having switched to Solo, they only need to wash their hair twice a week.
What if it doesn’t suit my scalp?
If Solo does not suit your skin or scalp, get in contact with us within 30 days of purchase to start your return process.
