Shampoo bar, curly hair feels rank, do I persist?

[StillNoFuckingEyeDeer]

Hi
I've been using solid shampoo and conditioner bars for nearly 12 weeks now and I've used an apple cider vinegar rinse afterwards too, but my hair just still feels horrible.
I have curly hair, which I've only ever been able to comb in the shower when wet or with conditioner on otherwise I just get a big diffuse frizz of hair. I've tried to wash my hair less frequently, but by day three I need to either wash it or get it wet to comb it.
Will it get any better if I keep using the bar shampoo? I miss having hair that felt clean! I don't want to go back to using single use plastic bottles of shampoo and conditioner, but I can't have manky hair for the rest of my life.

I'd try a different brand and use up the shampoo bar as hand soap.

I don't have the same hair as you but I didn't get on at all well with Friendly shampoo but have had more joy with Gruum and Ethique from Holland and Barratt.

I've used about 6 different brands of shampoo bars and felt like this with 2 of them. Try another! I've heard very good things about Hairy Jayne. I've also got on well with Soaps for Little Suds, Ethique and Gruum. I find conditioner bars trickier to get on with than shampoo, but the same above applies.

Nut and noggin works really well for my curly hair. Don’t need to use conditioner with it either

Brilliant. Thank you. I'll try some different ones.

Would recommend Gruum but I don’t have curly hair - I have given a couple of bars to friends and everyone seems happy though inc. a curly girl friend
