Washing your hair with soap: A guide to an effective and natural method
Washing your hair with soap, also known as the "no-poo" or "shampoo bar" method, has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many people have started using this method for a variety of reasons, including that it is a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional shampoo and it can be cheaper. With FOAM accessories shampoo bar, our repeat customers cite improved hair quality as the biggest reason they choose shampoo bar.
To determine if washing your hair with solid shampoo is right for you:
Advantages:
- Environmentally friendly: The shampoo bars are made from natural ingredients and produce minimal waste, unlike traditional shampoo which often comes in plastic bottles.
- Gentler: The shampoo bars are made to provide optimally gentle hair cleansing and the base is always organic oils.
- Improved hair quality: Many people who switch to shampoo bars report that their hair becomes softer, shinier, and less frizzy. The hair becomes easier to manage and they don't have to use conditioners or conditioners.
Disadvantages:
- Unusual at first: It may take a few shampoos to get used to shampoo bars and get the technique down, but once you get used to it, you'll never want to go back.
- You can never go back: Many people who have become accustomed to shampoo bars find that they can never switch back to liquid shampoo because the benefits of solid shampoo make hair so incredibly easy to care for and beautiful. To get the same effect with liquid shampoo, many different chemical products are required that are not gentle on the body.
If you want to try washing your hair with shampoo bar:
- Choose the right product: Not all shampoo bars are good for your hair. Choose a shampoo bar that is formulated with ingredients specifically selected to make your hair beautiful. Choose the shampoo bar that suits your hair type.
- Wet your hair thoroughly: Make sure your hair is thoroughly wet before applying the shampoo. This will help create lather and distribute the shampoo evenly.
- Rub the shampoo bar into your scalp: Rub the shampoo directly into your scalp in circular motions. You can also lather the shampoo bar in your hands and then apply the lather to your hair.
- Massage your scalp: Massage your scalp thoroughly with your fingers to stimulate blood circulation and lift away dirt and oils.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until all suds are gone. Be sure to rinse the scalp as well.
- Use conditioner (if needed): Some people may need to use conditioner after washing their hair with soap, especially if they have very dry hair or live where the water is "hard" and the hair's PH value needs to be lowered after soaking.
- Be patient: It may take time for your hair to get used to using shampoo bars, but once you do, you'll never want to switch back. If you don't get perfect results on the first wash, give it 2-3 more washes and you'll be so happy!
