How long do the bars last?

Each bar typically lasts 50-75 washes, depending on hair length and how much product you use. That's roughly 2-3 months for most people — often longer than a bottle of liquid shampoo or conditioner.

How do I store the bars?

Keep them dry between uses. A soap dish with drainage works great. If traveling, let them dry before packing, or use a ventilated container. Proper storage extends their life significantly.

Where are Sea Flamingo products made?

Every bar is handcrafted in the Bay Area, California. Small batch, made with care.

How do I use a shampoo or conditioner bar?

Wet your hair thoroughly. For shampoo, rub the bar between your hands to create lather, or glide it directly onto your scalp. Massage into roots and let the lather work through to the ends. Rinse well. For conditioner, glide the bar directly onto wet hair — focusing on mid-lengths and ends. This makes it easier to deposit product where you need it. Leave for a minute, then rinse.

Will the bars work for my hair type?

Our bars are formulated to work across hair types — straight, wavy, curly, coily. The gentle, pH-balanced formula cleanses without stripping, and the conditioning bar hydrates without weighing hair down. That said, every head is different. If you're unsure, start with one bar and see how your hair responds.

Can I use these bars on color-treated hair?

Yes. Our sulfate-free formula is gentle on color-treated hair. No harsh detergents that strip your color. Just clean ingredients that cleanse without compromising your investment.

Why bars instead of bottles?

No plastic. No water weight. No spills in your luggage. Bars are concentrated — you're not paying to ship water. They last longer, travel easier, and leave nothing behind but clean hair. It's a better format. We just had to make sure the performance matched. It does.

Are the bars scented?

Lightly — from the ingredients themselves. We don't add fragrances. The shampoo bar has a subtle coconut scent from the coconut-derived surfactants, while the conditioning bar carries warm notes of cocoa butter and sweet almond oil. Natural, not perfumed.

What if I miss a drop?

No stress. Join our email list and we'll send you a reminder the day before each drop — so you'll never miss one. We only release three times a year, so a heads-up helps.

Are your ingredients cruelty-free?

Yes. We never test on animals, and we never will. Every ingredient is cruelty-free.

Can the whole family use these bars?

Absolutely. Our gentle formula works for adults and kids alike. One less product to buy, one less bottle cluttering the shower. Simple.
