How do you care for a shampoo bar?
Shampoo bars (and soap bars) last longest when they are allowed to dry between uses.
Avoid letting them sit in puddles of water, rather leave them on a draining soap dish, dry face cloth, or directly on a firm surface to dry out between uses.
What is a shampoo bar?
A shampoo bar is different from soap.
It is made using coconut based surfactants (cleaning agents) with a combination of oils. It has a lower PH than soap so is suitable for hair.
It is literally solid shampoo - and is free from soap which can be harsh on hair.
All the ingredients are natural and gentle.
How do you use a shampoo bar?
In the shower or bath, wet your hair then you can either rub the bar directly into wet hair to create a lather or to ensure the bar lasts a little longer rub the bar in your hands to create a foam then rub the foam into your hair.
Massage your hair as your normally would with liquid shampoo, then rinse.
How can I tell the difference between a shampoo bar and a bar of soap that is being sold to wash hair?
Soaps are made by saponifying oils - the ingredients list will start with a list of oils and then will include lye or sodium hydroxide which is the chemical that causes the oils to turn into a solid soap bar.
Soaps have a higher PH and are not recommended for hair washing.
Shampoo bars have no lye or sodium hydroxide - they will start with a list of natural surfactants, not oils. They have a PH of around 5.5 so are suitable for hair.
Do you sell larger bars?
