Why make the swap to a Natural Shampoo Bar?
Swapping to natural shampoos doesn’t just help reduce our waste, it has multiple benefits for our hair, our skin, and ultimately effects the waste water that goes down our drains.
Many commercial shampoos come loaded with harsh chemicals, parabens and synthetic ingredients, which do the job of cleaning the hair at the expense of stripping both our hair and scalps of their natural oils.
While we want to remove the excess oils, we don’t want to strip our hair of them entirely. Doing so can lead to a sensitive scalp, itching, dandruff and in some cases, our skin can begin to overproduce oils to compensate for the ones that have been striped away.
To avoid this, you can also opt for a more natural shampoo, with less harsh chemicals and preservatives. Or of course, you can make the swap to a natural shampoo bar; no chemicals, no preservatives and of course, no plastic

In this soap we’ve added Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, as it is close to your hairs natural PH. Using it topically helps hair follicles to lie flat, softening the hair and creating a natural shine.
Rapeseed Oil is a light oil that penetrates deep into the hair shaft, moisturising from the inside out.
Mango Butter, a deeply nutritious and moisturising oil keeps hair healthy, allowing it to repair while promoting growth.
Organic Rosemary Infused Extra Olive Oil is full of antioxidants to fight free radicals, and the infused Rosemary encourages hair growth. -

HARD OR SOFT WATER?
If you live in a hard water area you might find the swap to a Shampoo bar a bit harder. Hard water has a high mineral content, but not the sorts of minerals you want in your hair. Often the water has passed through chalk or limestone, which reacts with Soap and can cause a build-up or residue in your hair.
There are however a couple of things you can try to get your hair feeling luscious faster.
Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse
Add 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar to a cup of warm water and use this to rinse your hair after shampooing. Some people may need to change the quantities of Apple Cider Vinegar used depending on their needs.
Install a Water Softener
If you live in a hard water area you might choose to install a reverse osmosis filtration system in your house. This will help prevent the build-up of limescale in your pipes and purify the water that you drink. And of course it’s also great for your hair and skin.
Baking Soda
Some people suggest adding a teaspoon of baking soda to a pint of warm water and using this to wash your hair. It is said to make the water feel softer, allowing your shampoo bar to produce a better lather.
*We do not suggest that you use baking soda and a vinegar rinse at the same time, as these two ingredients will react with one another.
Please always make sure you have rinsed your hair thoroughly after shampooing
