Does anyone find shampoo bars leave a waxy feeling in their hair? (self.sustainableliving)

Some seem better than others but a new shampoo & conditioner bar I bought seems much worse.

I haven't tried it, but quite a few of the reviews said they use an apple cider rinse to remove the residue, and that it is something you only have for a while after changing so you don't necessarity need to use the rinse long term.

I know that soaps and detergent can sometimes react to create a residue, could it be interacting with another product you use?

This is the third one I've used (the others were more expensive) and it's significantly more waxy. Like I would have to do an apple cider rinse everytime I wash my hair instead of every 5/6 times.
