What are the benefits of a shampoo bar?

1. Water-saving Although you still need a fair amount of water to lather the shampoo, scrub, and then rinse it out of your hair, the bar itself is not formulated with the same amount of water that gives its liquid counterpart its consistency. From production, shampoo bars are immediately better for the planet.

2. Less water = more powerful ingredients. Because it is formulated with less water, this means there is a higher concentration of other ingredients in the shampoo bar. The shampoo bar and conditioners can work in their most potent form without being diluted. In the long run, this means your hair receives a powerful dose of the key ingredients.

3. Less plastic. Without the liquid, there are no plastic bottles needed that you might forget to recycle.

4. Longer lifespan. Just like with liquid shampoos, the number of times you can use a shampoo bar depends greatly on how often you wash your hair, how much you apply each wash, and how you store your bar between uses. Pro tip: don’t leave it where water can collect (for example, a soap dish without drainage). Instead, let it drain and dry before the next use.

5. Space-saving. You may already have plenty of natural hair care products in your shower and cupboards. A shampoo bar means one less bottle to worry about.

6. Travel-friendly. Although packing for a trip may not be top priority these days, it’s good to know that shampoo bars are no problem at customs. You also don’t have to worry about leaks.

Do shampoo bars make your hair greasy?

Especially if you have finer curls or have experienced this with traditional two-in-one shampoo and conditioner formulas. If you’re worried about a shampoo bar weighing down your locks, look for a shampoo formulated with lightweight ingredients such as argan and grape seed oil.

How to use a shampoo bar?

Once you’ve found the right shampoo bar for your curl type and texture, you can easily incorporate it into your wash day routine. If you’ve ever used a bar of soap on your body, you know the drill.

Soak your hair with water. Water will help create the much-needed lather. So make sure your hair is fully soaked in water.

Wet the bar. There’s no need to soak the bar in water, a light pass under the shower is enough.

Lather up. You can create some soap suds by rubbing the shampoo bar between your palms or rubbing it directly onto your hair. If you choose the latter, it can help to lather in sections. This way, the shampoo thoroughly covers your hair from root to tip and front to back.

Let it work. Just as you would give your hair a good shampoo with a liquid version, do the same with a bar. Massage the shampoo into your scalp to remove any product buildup at the roots, then work it through the strands by clamping sections of hair between your palms and rubbing them together from top to bottom.

Rinse thoroughly. Rinse all shampoo out of your hair thoroughly.
