At Healing Roots Salon in New Paltz, we’re always searching for products that are effective, beautiful to use, and aligned with a more conscious approach to haircare. We love discovering brands that prioritize healthy ingredients, sustainability, and truly healthy hair without sacrificing performance. Lately, two brands have completely won us over: Notice Hair Co. and Rahua.

Shampoo Bars That Actually Work: Notice Hair Co.

If you’ve ever tried a shampoo bar before, you may know the feeling: dry scalp, tangled hair, buildup, or hair that somehow feels both squeaky and greasy at the same time. That was our experience too, until we found Notice Hair Co.

We were immediately drawn to shampoo bars, But most bars never quite delivered the results we wanted. Notice got the formula right.

  • less plastic waste

  • easy travel

  • minimal packaging

  • less clutter in the shower

The bars leave hair feeling genuinely clean, soft, balanced, and healthy without stripping the scalp. They also lather beautifully and last an incredibly long time.

We especially love:

  • The Balance Bar

  • The Hydrator

The best part? There’s truly a bar for every hair type and texture. For clients looking to simplify their routine or reduce plastic use without compromising the health of their hair, these are a game changer.

Luxury Haircare We Keep Coming Back To: Rahua

Rahua feels like pure luxury. Their Classic Shampoo and Conditioner set has become a favorite for both the performance and the experience itself. The scent is warm, grounding, and woodsy — thanks to notes of Palo Santo — and instantly makes your shower feel like a ritual. The products leave hair soft, smooth, and incredibly healthy-feeling.

One thing we’ve noticed over the years is that hair sometimes responds well to switching products occasionally. When our hair starts feeling a little “used to” one routine, rotating in Rahua gives it fresh life and bounce again.

Every product in the line feels intentional and beautifully formulated, but one standout for us is the Rahua Leave-In Treatment.

We love it for:

  • hydration

  • smoothing

  • heat protection

  • supporting longer, healthier hair

It leaves hair feeling silky without heaviness, perfect for everyday use.
