Shampoo Bar Ginger & Lime 65g

What are the benefits of a shampoo bar?

1. Water-saving Even though you'll still need a fair amount of water to lather, scrub, and rinse out the shampoo, the bar itself isn't made with the same amount of water that gives its liquid counterpart its consistency. From production onwards, shampoo bars are instantly better for the planet.

2. Less water = more powerful ingredients. Because it's made with less water, this means there's a higher concentration of other ingredients in the shampoo bar. The shampoo bar and conditioners can work at their most powerful without being diluted. In the long run, this means your hair gets a strong dose of the key ingredients.

3. Less plastic. No liquid means no plastic bottles you might forget to recycle.

4. Lasts longer. Just like with liquid shampoos, how long a shampoo bar lasts depends on how often you wash your hair, how much you use each time, and how you store your bar between washes. Pro tip: don't leave it somewhere water can pool (like a soap dish without drainage). Let it drain and dry for next time.

5. Space-saving. You probably already have a ton of natural hair care products in your shower and cabinets. A shampoo bar means one less bottle to stress about.

6. Travel-friendly. Packing for a trip might not be top of mind right now, but it's good to know that shampoo bars are totally fine at customs. Plus, you don't have to worry about leaks.

Do shampoo bars make your hair greasy?

Especially if you have finer curls or if you've had this issue with traditional two-in-one shampoo and conditioner formulas. If you're worried about a shampoo bar weighing your hair down, look for one made with lightweight ingredients like argan and grapeseed oil.

How do you use a shampoo bar?

Once you've found the right shampoo bar for your curl type and texture, it's super easy to add it to your wash day routine. If you've ever used a bar of soap on your body, you already know the drill.

Soak your hair with water. Water helps create that much-needed lather. So make sure your hair is fully soaked.

Wet the bar. No need to soak the bar in water, just a quick pass under the shower is enough.

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

Let it soak in. Just like you would with a liquid shampoo, do the same with a bar. Massage the shampoo into your scalp to get rid of any product build-up at the roots, then work it through the lengths by pressing sections of your hair between your palms and rubbing from top to bottom.

Rinse thoroughly. Make sure to rinse all the shampoo out of your hair really well.
