My First Shampoo Bar Experience—My Thoughts

This was my first time trying a shampoo and conditioner bar, and I tested the Jack59 Weekend Edition Island Tropics Set for colour-treated hair.

What I loved: the hair quiz was super quick and accurate—it matched me with the right product for my needs. The bars smell amazing, and the mini compostable container is a nice touch, especially for the gym or travel. I also really appreciate that this is a Canadian-made brand focused on sustainability!

What didn’t work as well for me: I found the shampoo bar didn’t lather as much as I’m used to, and I had trouble gauging how much of the conditioner to apply. I personally prefer my usual liquid products at home, but for on-the-go use, this is such a convenient and eco-friendly option.

Definitely worth trying if you’re looking to reduce plastic and simplify your hair care routine while traveling!

Great product!

Jack 59 Weekend Edition shampoo and conditioner bars come in a convenient compostable travel container that has vents on the bottom for drying the bars between uses. The bars are easy to use, and smell fantastic. Mine were a citrus smell that was dreamy. My only complaint is that the packaging doesn't tell you which is the shampoo bar and which is the conditioner bar, so I had to use them both to figure it out. Other then that, the products worked well with my hair, cleaned and conditioned nicely, and left my hair feeling squeaky clean and shiny. These bars are super easy to throw in your swimming or gym bag to take with you - they are already in a container ready to go. An easy to use product that smells great and works well! @jack59inc

Love everything but the wrong type for my hair

I really enjoyed using this compact shampoo and conditioner bar. The small holes in the bottom side of the container help the water drain and it’s a great size for on the go and travelling without extra liquids. There’s even a 5 pack refill option which is great to help reduce waste! I found this set for “thick curly hair” was not great for my hair as my hair didn’t look clean the next day. I’d try the set for thin hair and see if it makes a difference. Overall a great, natural and sustainable product!

Perfect for swimming

Jack59 Weekend Travel Edition.
Going swimming with my little one has never been easier! With the travel size shampoo ⏺️ and conditioner bar ⏹️ from Jack59, we can easily wash our hair after swimming. 🏊🏻‍♀️

Taking their hair quiz helped me find which set was best for me. I have a sensitive scalp and fine hair so the Serenity set was perfect for me. I have had ZERO 🙅🏻‍♀️ itchiness since switching to this shampoo which has never happened before!!

I received this free in exchange for my honest review and I will certainly be buying this myself super soon.

Must have!

These shampoo and Conditioner bars not only are a space saver they leave your hair feeling, refreshed, soft and shiny.

I was sceptical about using bar shampoo and conditioner, I always thought they would leave my hair dry and unmanageable. I was so happy that I was wrong. I love this travel set and plan to buy more sets for my camping trailer and gym bag.

Jack 59 has made it so easy to support a Canadian business with their products that provide amazing results! I love how easily I could find the best products for me with their hair quiz.

Convenient and well-made

Traveling by air for work and living downtown / walking everywhere, I've found this solid shampoo and conditioner duo very convenient ! It is lightweight and you don't have to worry about leaks or the liquids regulations at the airport. I've tried similar products in the past but this one is not generic, it is very specific for your hair type, which is a big plus in my opinion (and as a blonde). It left my hair very soft and my blonde brass-free, loving it ! The packaging is so well-done too, the holes at the bottom of the case are fantastics! If you tried solid shampoo before you know how inconvenient it is to pack it in a suitcase while it is still wet.. it is a mess and you are loosing so much product. But not with this one ! On top of that, can we talk about what a wholesome company Jack 59 is ? Women-led, Indigenous-owned, 100% Canadian, vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, sustainable and +++ !

Best travel hack

Holy proud Canadian product win! Words cannot begin to describe the joy I have had as a flight attendant with this shampoo and conditioner set. I have been doing a lot of destinations that we are not liquid exempt and this just makes packing that much easier! One less thing to worry about. So I got this set from Jack 59 to try (for free) after I took their online hair quiz to find the right product for me! Since I have colour processed blonde, I was recommended the “Blonde Bombshell” set. I used it all week and had a Paris layover and a Costa Rica layover with it! Made it through security no problem! Such a win! It also helped to tone my brassiness!! I was worried with these little tiny bars. My hair was gross after flying to Paris all night and I was worried about how clean these were going to get it…. And I have some long hair, so generally I use a lot of product. I was very sceptical that these little palm size nuggets were going to a darn thing. BUT look at the shine!! My hair is clean and soft!! I cannot wait to add this to my work bag as a staple! Flighty friends, you NEED this in your suitcase!!

Moussant et efficace

j'ai osé essayer les shampoing et revitalisant en barre et quelle agréable surprise ! Jack59 est fièrement canadienne, ce qui donne encore plus envie d'utiliser le produit ! Pour nous aider à choisir les produits qui nous conviennent le mieux à notre type de cheveux, on doit remplir un court sondage, excellente idée. Vraiment efficace parce que j'ai reçu ceux adaptés à moi : mes cheveux sont très doux jusqu'aux pointes et mon cuir chevelu ne démange pas. Je suis vraiment satisfaite du résultat, sans compter que les barres moussent très bien sous l'eau (ce qui était une de mes craintes!). Sans paraben, sans phtalate, sans sulfate. C'est évident que je me commande ce format, en plus avec ce contenant de voyage compostable pour mes prochaines escapades ! Si tu n'as pas encore testé les produits en barre pour les cheveux, il faut commencer avec cette compagnie !

Smells amazing and hair feels soft

Weekend Edition set is so light, convenient, and handy to take along and carry, especially when travelling. I really like the mini compostable size and happy that now I don't have to worry about any leaks in the bags plus it does not take a lot of space either. I love how the mini shampoo bar lathers and properly cleans and washes without leaving any residue. The restore mini conditioner bar is another favourite product of mine, which is moisturizing plus I am glad it does not dry out my hair. After every wash, the hair feels clean and soft. I am really happy with the end result.

Super efficient and Travel Friendly

The product is super efficient. I love that this product cleanses my scalp and doesn’t make it dry or scaly. I don’t need a lot of product and the conditioner is so cool. It gave me soft and shiny hair without weighing down my super fine hair. No more liquid bottles for me.
