Product Description
You loved the Black Velvet Bamboo Charcoal soap so much we have created a shampoo bar too – and because it is incredibly effective – we called it Voodoo Black Bamboo Shampoo!
Who is it for ?
Be amazed by the dense creamy lather and how it absorbs oil from oily hair yet moisturises dry hair and scalp, and gives fabulous body, shine and condition. This shampoo enriches the natural colour and vibrancy of all hair types, (a brunette user was asked if she had coloured her natural hair it was so rich, a blonde user says it tones down brassiness in dyed hair) and user feedback indicates great results for those with sensitivities, and other scalp issues such as psoriasis and eczema.
What is it ?
This is one incredible ingredient! Harvested from the pesticide free sustainable forests in Taiwan, long prized in Asia for it’s beauty and health-giving benefits, and rapid regrowth, this is the ultimate sustainable resource.
Definitely Voodoo!
Please note: this bar does not stain the hair or body but washes clean away.

Watched all the videos, read all the tips, and followed the instructions to a tee, using the bar incredibly conservatively (I even tried using exclusively distilled water for the wash). The shampoo would lather amazingly between my hands, and this would immediately disappear and form a tacky coating on the first hairs contacted. No matter what I tried, it left a waxy residue that looked horribly oily. This was incredibly hard to get out, but eventually budged after 3 shampoos with a salon product. I was not able to pull off any style but a tight braid for the 5 weeks I was using the product, and went from washing twice a week to every 1-2 nights. The only positive aspect I found is that it didn’t dry the lengths of my hair out like regular shampoo.

Hi Isabel, we thank you for your feedback. Have you tried the Apple Silk Clarifying rinse (or a weak baking soda solution) to get rid of the waxy build up, so you can start fresh? It also helps to use diluted Apple Cider Vinegar as the final rinse after each shampoo, as natural shampoo can be difficult to rinse out with hard water, and can leave residue on the hair. We hope you give the shampoo another chance

I decided to give shampoo bars a go for plastic free July. I knew it could take some time for hair to adjust and worked my way through a few different types but couldnt get a result i was happy with. I am glad i persevered because voodoo bamboo is the perfect formulation for my thick and coarse hair. It has brought out the red highlights in my hair as well. Love it!

Thank you for your wonderful review Heidi!

After using the Tasmanian Beer shampoo for several weeks and being a complete convert to these amazing shampoo bars, I thought I would give the Voodoo Bamboo bar a go as well. It works just as well as the beer shampoo in regards to cleansing and leaving my hair smooth, yet full of body, however I found the Voodoo brought out the natural highlights in my hair and uplifted my golden blonde hair colour, almost like a ‘toner’ 🙂 I look forward to switching between the Beer and Voodoo bars depending on how I feel 🙂 Thank you again for another fantastic product Beauty and the Bees 🙂

Recently purchased this as the Apple Cider Herb Conditioning Rinse – OMG I am so converted to these amazing products. My hair has never felt so clean, thick or shiny! I cannot believe I didn’t know about this until now…. Love this soap it is amazing! Can’t wait to try other products!

The Voodoo Bamboo Charcoal Shampoo was my first ever try at using a shampoo bar and I am very impressed.
I talked my son into trying it as well and he has had one very good side effect from using this bar. No more dandruff.
How cool is that. I intend to try some off the others but the Voodoo bar will always be a family favorite.

Thank you for your review, Louise. From the team in Tasmania.

I have dry, very fine and thin Asian hair. I tried a few shampoo bars (Beer, lemon and egg, yoghurt, voodoo) and so far, this seems to be the best bar for my hair. I really like the volume, and little curls given by the beer bar to my normally stick straight hair, but it may be a bit too drying. While this gives nowhere near as much volume as the beer bar, it worked very well, and it cleansed without feeling dry. My hair feels very soft and looks shiny. I follow this shampoo bar with the honey conditioner, but skip the acv rinse (^_^).

I’m usually a huge fan of these shampoo bars but I found this one left my hair feeling weird – like there was a slight waxy residue despite LOTS of rinsing. On the plus side though, I have very fine hair that goes flat and limp super easily and I found my hair looked cleaner for longer than it does when using traditional shampoo.
Claire Brodribb –
Hi Samantha thanks for your feedback, but have you looked at any of out How To videos? Are you using as recommended for success, our Apple Silk Clarifying Rinse or Apple Cider Herb conditioning rinse in the last rinse water? The How to Videos will help you get the great results you are looking for.

Beautiful product. Amazing lather. I have been using for a few months and my hair is in great shape, and the bar is showing no signs of running out. I use in conjunction with a little conditioner afterwards, then an apple cider vinegar rinse. Have given two as gifts and they have been equally as loved.
Penny –
I am SO impressed with this shampoo bar, its the first time I’ve ever tried them but I wish I found it years ago. I have dark brown hair and it has always been dry, after only one wash I cant believe how soft and manageable my hair is. Thanks for a fabulous product, I’m never using commercial shampoo again :)) I cant recommend it enough!
Belinda –
This bar is AMAZING. I have had eczema/psoriasis in my scalp for almost 40 years. I’ve tried countless “normal” shampoos, wasted heaps of $$ on ones I’ve had to give away because they flare up my scalp. I’ve been using this shampoo for several months and no flare ups. Was a teensy bit scared to tell the hairdresser that I had switched shampoo, until she said how good my scalp was. Now she is going to buy this to have “under the counter” for other clients with problem scalps. Oh, and my excessively dry curly hair is no longer dry! Can’t recommend enough.

I have long dark hair and couldn’t believe how little I needed to achieve that squeaky clean feeling. Arrived quickly and even got some shampoo and soap samples to try! Definitely recommend.

Beautiful product. The dark black lather it produces is amazing. My hair feels so soft and fresh and the brass orange colour has almost completely gone. Even professional chemical ones did nothing but this natural soap is amazing. And worth the almost double cost of a bar shipping. The bar didn’t last along as I expected so I broke it in half and now it just doesn’t seem to disappear though I’ve had it for well over a month in a hard water location. Thank you so very much!!!!!! My curls now are strings of rich honey curls instead of frizz like I’m use too!!!!
Gemma –
Wow and wow and wow!! It lathers up like you wouldn’t believe and smells great. Love it!!
Rhiannon –
I got this shampoo bar as a sample, and it’s lasted me months only using it once a week. Makes my hair feel soft, lasts ages, and because it’s black I think it looks pretty cool sitting in my bathroom 🙂

I have won my hubby over to the natural side – this shampoo is awesome. I have been using your products for a few months now and I haven’t met a product i didn’t love. Thank you for making it simple, natural and totally addictive.
Samantha –
I have fine, dry hair and am usually very wary about using anything not purchased from a salon. After a flair up of eczema on my face (so not cute) I thought I would give this a try and I will now never go back to salon shampoo. I love this! My hair is full of body and feels amazing, and this is gentle on my poor skin.
Sally –
I have started using the charcoal shampoo bar and it has really enhanced the colour of my natural hair which I didn’t realise was more than one colour. I have since put foils in my hair and it has really kept the colour of the foils intact. My hair also feels cleaner. Thank you so much for creating this fantastic soap. I never want to stop using it.
Maria –
The lather feels so creamy and luxurious and afterward my hair doesn’t feel weighed down with product at all. My hair is a very dark brown and I have noticed that its color is much richer since I started using it — a very subtle difference, but really rather lovely. Will definitely order again!
Dagmarp –
The black shampoo is amazing.Will buy again.Thank you
