Shampoo Bars

Shampoo Bars are handmade and so good for your hair. All the "junk" that is put in the commercial shampoo is left out of the Shampoo Bars! They lather up a storm and you can cut down on some of the bottles in your bath or shower. Give them a try and just see how great they are. If you need a conditioner try one of my homemade conditioners! They are fabulous!

Shampoo Bars will your hair soft, shiny, and with far more body than commercial shampoos, and you never ever need conditioner. If you've tried other shampoo bars and been disappointed, please give these a try. To use the shampoo bar, simply rub the bar over your scalp, then work the lather through with your fingertips. Our handmade shampoo bars have a surprising amount of lather! Commercial shampoos contain chemical “conditioners” that collect on hair and weigh it down. When you start using your handmade shampoo bar, it will begin to strip off all the extra “junk” commercial shampoos leave in your hair. This can INITIALLY cause your hair to feel stiff, or sticky. Don’t panic! This is what we call “funky hair syndrome”, and it is curable! Use a vinegar rinse (2 tbsp. of any kind of vinegar in 1 cup of water) for at least the first week. Simply pour the vinegar rinse over your hair after shampooing, and then rinse out or leave in, however you choose. The vinegar helps remove the “junk” from your hair – with the added benefit of balancing the pH of your hair, and adding shine and body! After approximately a week (often much sooner) you will no longer have “funky hair” – just soft, shiny all-natural hair. (Not everyone gets funky hair – we just wanted to warn you in case you are one of those that do!) After the first week, you may continue to use the vinegar rinse, or not – it’s your choice. If you’re like us, you’ll like the added body and shine! Plain white vinegar or apple cider work just fine, but for added herbal benefits you may want to try some of our herbal hair vinegars. These shampoo bars also make an excellent “head to toe” bar and can definitely be used as a facial soap or body soap – perfect for camping or traveling. Shampoo bars are perfectly suitable for permed, dyed, or processed hair. To extend the life of your handmade artisan shampoo bar, please keep it away from direct water (don’t let your shower run on it!) and keep it in a well-drained soap dish. Soggy soap will not last nearly as long as a dry, well-drained bar of soap.

This homemade conditioner is made with all natural ingredients like Coconut Oil, Wheat and Silk Protein (very good for hair), and other things that will make your hair shine, soft and not be too heavy. That is important to peole that have very fine, thin hair (like myself) most conditioners will weigh your hair down, this conditioner will not! Along with the shampoo bar this is a huge HIT! If I get a lot of requests for this I will make it in bigger bottles. But a little bit will go a long way Stop putting the "junk" on your hair that you get in the stores and put the best product on your hair and know what is going on your hair!
