All during the month of May, I tried using Chagrin Valley shampoo bars again. I wanted them to work so badly - but unfortunately they just don't for me. I tried using them alone, with conditioner, after clarifying, with vinegar rinses; I even bought a filter for my shower head even though I have a water softener, but nothing worked. So, sadly, I am going to give up using them and try something else. For now, I am going back to Lush shampoo bars & Nature's Gate Herbal conditioner.
