Your curiosity has been sparked. You've heard about these shampoo bars and now you're wondering what using one is really like...the good, the bad, and the ugly. Spoiler alert: there is mostly just good, no bad and ugly! We're here to answer all of your top questions about shampoo bars and share what most people experience when they make the switch.
Our shampoo bars contain no SLS, SCS or any other artificial foaming agent. Their great lather does not come from any synthetic foaming agents or damaging chemicals that strip your hair of natural oils. Each bar is made with Castor Oil to moisturize hair and increase blood circulation which helps with natural hair growth. This ingredient is great for fighting against dandruff and giving hair a healthy shine. Vitamin E rich Argan Oil and Jojoba Oil in our bars help to hydrate and protect hair from frizz for soft, shiny hair. Our bars are only naturally scented with essential oils (no irritating synthetic fragrances or perfumes).
Shampoo bars are great for any hair type (even thin hair!), but other customers love each of our bars for different reasons. Our Grapefruit, Rosemary, & Lavender shampoo bar has a more mild scent, is good for hair growth, and is the most soothing on your scalp. Our Peppermint shampoo bar is a favorite for its stronger, cooling scent that provides refreshment, and is especially great for curly hair. Our Eucalyptus, Tea Tree shampoo bar has a mild scent, and is a favorite for removing extra product buildup and helping with dandruff. Our Citrus Cedarwood shampoo bar has a fresh, bright scent and is a great for promoting thick hair growth.
Many of our customers will try all of them, because even if one bar doesn't work on your hair it doesn't mean all of them won't work. Your hair is different! Your hair type and porosity play a big part in how your hair will transition and how you should use the bar.
Choosing a shampoo bar is saying goodbye to harsh preservatives and plastic bottles, without losing the lovely lather of washing your hair. Mileage will vary on washing habits, but one bar has a concentration equivalence of multiple shampoo bottles. Plus, not to mention how easy it is to travel with your shampoo. From your shower to gym bag to planes...no more liquid to worry about!
Read The BenefitsSome people experience heavy, dull, or greasy hair for a period of time after switching to a natural shampoo bar. This is the result of chemical residue and buildup getting worked out of hair. Additionally, the scalp is learning to adjust and regulate its proper oil production. This transitional period can range anywhere from one day to one month.
Read Best Transition TipsOnce your scalp has adjusted to its new pH, you will experience soft, shiny, and healthy hair. Plus, you get to wash your hair less! Healthy hair only needs to be washed every 2-3 days. Using an Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse is also a great substitute for conditioner.
