Shampoo Bar Ginger & Lime 65g

What are the benefits of a shampoo bar?

1. Water-saving While you still need a fair amount of water to lather, scrub, and rinse the shampoo out of your hair, the bar itself isn’t made with the same amount of water that gives its liquid counterpart that runny texture. From the moment they’re made, shampoo bars are already a better choice for the planet.

2. Less water = more powerful ingredients. Because it's made with less water, it means there's 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 gets a powerful dose of the key ingredients.

3. Less plastic. Without the liquid, there’s no need for plastic bottles you might forget to recycle.

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

5. Space-saving. You might already have a ton of natural hair care products in your shower and cabinets. With a shampoo bar, that's one less bottle to worry about.

6. Travel-friendly. Even if packing for a trip isn’t your top priority right now, it’s good to know that shampoo bars are totally hassle-free at customs. Plus, you don’t have to worry about any leaks in your bag.

Do shampoo bars make your hair greasy?

Especially if you have finer curls or if you've experienced this with traditional two-in-one shampoo and conditioner formulas. If you're worried about a shampoo bar weighing your hair down, look for a shampoo 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 how it works.

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 suds by rubbing the shampoo bar between your hands or by rubbing it directly onto your hair. If you go for the latter, it can be helpful to lather in sections. This way, the shampoo covers your hair thoroughly from root to tip and from front to back.

Let it soak in. Just like you would give your hair a good wash with a liquid shampoo, you 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 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.
