About KinKind Solid Shampoo Bars

With such a wide range, we truly believe at KinKind we have the best shampoo bars for whatever your hair type. Formulated with a blend of high performing and natural ingredients to specifically target your hair type/concerns. See our best shampoo soap bars for all hair types; for fine hair, for dandruff, for dry hair, for coloured hair and highlighted hair, for curly and coily hair, for greasy hair, for damaged hair, for grey hair, and for sensitive dry and itchy scalp. And, we also have specially curated collections for men and for kids.

In KinKind shampoo bars we use a gentler cleanser than in your bottled regular shampoo. Each shampoo bar is vegan, cruelty free, silicone free, paraben free, SLES free, plastic free and of course zero waste. 

KinKind is UK made and delivered direct to you through the letterbox. This means that unlike bottled shampoos, we are not transporting 80% water in plastic bottles on long truck journeys across the world. Our solid shampoo bars are delivered direct through your letterbox in a plastic free, recyclable delivery carton that gives you a lovely fragranced opening experience.

Only KinKind is 100% plastic free, UK made, and delivered direct to you through the letterbox!

Use a KinKind shampoo bar and you'll find they give the experience and results you expect from bottled liquid shampoo from day 1. No plastic waste, no water, no transition period and no compromise on results! They really are the plastic free alternative to your regular shampoo that you need for your hair!

KinKind solid shampoo bars are gently cleansing for even the most fragile & fine hair, so are the perfect products to slot into your hair wash day. Simply wet your hair and the bar and give it a rub in your hands & it instantly gives you a lovely thick, luxurious lather. Pop the bar on a rack and then massage in to your hair. If needed, circle the bar directly on your head for even more lather. Massage, and then fully rinse. Solid shampoo bars are super concentrated (note - liquid shampoo is 80% water!) so you only need to use a tiny amount. Make sure it is fully rinsed out so no concentrated cleansing molecules are left in your hair. See the video below for how to use a shampoo bar.. Each of our palm-sized long lasting solid shampoo bars weighs 50g and lasts for up to 50 washes, saving an amazing 2 (250ml) plastic bottles every time.

Getting the storage right from the start is the key to successful switching from your regular shampoo to our bars. We recommend storing your shampoo bar out of the flow or splashes of water, on a metal or wooden rack so they can air dry. This will prevent them from going soft and mushy. In your bathroom if you have a ledge, for example a shower over bath, then a wooden rack works very well to store your bars. If you have a shower cubicle, then a metal rack that suctions to tiles works very well, positioned high up out of the flow of water. Once you have your bar storage set up and you realise how easy and lovely KinKind solid shampoo bars are to use, it becomes a really easy haircare routine and there is no more faffing about with upside down bottles and lids in the shower! We promise you won't look back to plastic bottles with this amazing plastic free alternative!

Travelling with KinKind solid shampoo bars is incredibly easy and takes up so little space. No more leaking liquid shampoo bottles in suitcases or gym bags, and no more issues going through airport customs with bottled products! For holidays, or going to the gym or pool we recommend our KEEP me! aluminium travel tins that fit all of our bars. They are great as a solid shampoo storage container. Simply pop each bar in a tin and away you go! A couple of tips are a) pop a piece of ribbon under the bar in the tin so you can lift it out easily, and b) open the tin when not travelling so the bar can air dry.

When your bar becomes thin through usage, simply put it on the top of a new one when they are both wet. You will find that it moulds on with usage, and you will use up 100% of the bar. It simply disappears with usage, taking zero waste to a new level!
