We sent samples of the Honey Mud Styling Cream Pomade to 30 people and here’s what they had to say:
“I love the texture of the pomade – perfect balance between a hair wax and hair mud. I love that it rinses out easily and therefore reduces the need to wash my hair as often (with Beauty and the Bees Beer Shampoo Bar and Conditioning Bar).”
“It is a wonderful product that has the right feel without being greasy nor dry – the perfect balance. It holds my style all day and rinses out easily the next morning without leaving the hair feeling dirty or greasy. Amazing that this is a natural, chemical free product that works perfectly for styling and body.”
“You can keep styling hair without needing to apply more. No more need for hairspray to keep shape. No stickiness. When can we purchase this product? :-)”
“Smell…omg I want to lick it. Also the texture, not too thick or heavy, not oily.” “It shapes my curls & controls the frizz with a natural, soft feel.”
“I really loved the way it softened so easily and wasn’t disgustingly sticky like most of these types of products. Loved the scent!”
“I loved the smell and the fact that it wasn’t sticky, the texture is great and it has good hold.”
“Such a tiny amount goes a long way. It doesn’t dry out crunchy or powdery like other styling products, and actually feels like it is adding something to the condition of your hair.”
“The smell, the feel, the ease of use. I have fine flyaway hair which it holds in place with a natural feel and gives volume and height where I need it. Just a fabulous natural product.”
“It’s natural and hasn’t got any chemicals and unlike any other hair styling product it doesn’t smell toxic and isn’t harsh on the hair. It smells natural, is effective in helping to style the hair andespecially works well to comb, smooth, shape and hold eyebrows!”
“I feel like my hair looks shiny and healthy using the pomade along with the shampoo bars.”
“Great to have a natural non-sticky product to use which gives my hair body and holding ability. Feel very lucky to have had this opportunity! Thank you I really love your products and frequently make attempts to convert people I know!”
“I love it. It’s great for taming the fluffy bits, smoothing down flyaways, using as something akin to a leave-in conditioner when thinned out with water. I wouldn’t change a thing!”
How to use a shampoo bar
Georgie –
After trialling a sample pack of shampoo bars I settled on the ACV Hair Tonic. I have wavy and easily knotted hair, and live in the tropics so get sweaty/oily quickly.. This bar seems to magically detangle it when I use it, without brushing pre or during washing! And it leaves my hair oh so soft. Get about 3 days between washes which I think is great in this climate. Absolutely love it.

I had really dry, brittle hair with an itchy, dry scalp. I tried everything. I was looking up apple cider vinegar for hair on the internet and found your site. I tried the sampler pack. All are good but found this suited me most. I was worried it might dry my hair further or smell of vinegar but it is just great. Used with the clarifying rinse, (which I leave in) it leaves my hair shiny and silky soft. Just love it.

I bought a sample pack of shampoos and have tried each one. They were all slightly different for my hair but all were good. This one is my favourite. My hair feels full and glossy. People have commented that my hair looks good. I am lucky, my hair felt great after the first wash so I didn’t have to go through a change over period of my hair getting used to the change in shampoo. I love that it has no chemicals, I love that it’s from Tasmania so is local to me. I love that there is no plastic involved.

Fantastic shampoo. I love this product – no more itchy dry scalp. My hair is now healthy, thicker, shiny and it feels luscious. I have the conditioner bar (which I hardly use) and the Clarifying Rinse which is also fantastic. I did not believe a shampoo could make your hair feel thicker but this one works. My hair also feels cleaner for longer and keeps it style for longer. I have fine hair which used to stick out everywhere the day after I washed it. Not any more.
Like the previous reviewer I am so happy to find a natural product that works well and has no damaging chemicals.
Well done. I will keep using your products.

Wow! I recently bought this shampoo bar on a whim, having seen a similar one elsewhere. I’m a young guy who gets Psoriasis on the scalp that comes and goes and gets worse during Winter/during periods of stress.
Not only has this bar helped with keeping my scalp clean but ever since I switched my hair also feels thicker (I have fine hair), a whole lot less dry and A LOT more healthy in general.
I was using a Sulfate free shampoo before but having a look at the ingredients it still contained a whole heap of random chemicals/ingredients that altogether probably wasn’t giving my scalp/hair a whole lot of help.
I was worried about this bar making my hair even drier but it has actually had the opposite effect. Very happy with it.
I never write reviews but I honestly felt compelled because this bar has seriously made a whole lot of difference. I’m never going back to store-bought shampoos/conditioners, sticking to natural!
You’ve definitely got yourselves a long term customer in me.

It took me a while to get the hang of using the shampoo bars, but after reading the FAQ section on the Beauty and the Bees website (I should have done that first – doh!) I finally got it right and now I love this shampoo. Not only has it reduced my plastic consumption drastically but I also have shiny, clean hair. It did take my hair a week or so to get used to it, and it does feel different, especially when wet (mine feels like straw – probably because it doesn’t have the additional silicon normal shampoos contain) but after drying it is perfect. I use the apple cider rinse afterand love that too.
Claire Brodribb –
This sums up perfectly what we try to tell people Jennifer- in the words of that nasty chemical shampoo, “it won’t happen overnight, but it will happen”…it takes time, and very glad that our videos ( that we agonised over 😉 and FAQ have done their job. Very pleased indeed, thanks so much!!!
