Our most moisturizing shampoo bar. Thanks to coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil, this shampoo and body bar helps to retain the moisture that keeps skin glowing. It all starts with natural coconut milk as the base and just like other milks, coconut milk is known to aid in conditioning. It is also said to promote hair growth. Coconut shampoo bars may be the most moisturizing bar we've ever made. Dry scalp and skin has met its match!
Note that as we do not use artificial fragrances, as a result, this bar does not smell like retail coconut scents, it smells more like some Tea Tree took a walk through a Lavender field. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Properties of Ingredients:
- Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a nourishing fatty acid that can hydrate hair strands while leaving behind a sweet smell. It is believed to promote hair growth, strength and shine.
- Coconut Oil: Holds moisture and may seal the hair shaft. Coconut oil can improve dry skin when used regularly.
- Avocado Oil: Reduces dandruff and prevents breakage.
- Cocoa Butter: Gentle cleansing agent that also moisturizes the scalp.
- Castor Oil: Stimulates hair follicles to help grow stronger hair. Aids in hair retention and promotes growth.
New to Shampoo Bars?
We get it-most of us have been using the bottle a bit too long. Welcome back to the basics! Our Coconut Oil Shampoo Bars are not only good for the environment but they are great for your hair too. Say good bye to chemicals, detergents and drying agents. However, you might have a few questions. Let me help.
Can I use shampoo bars on color treated hair?
Absolutely! The oils and botanicals that we use in our bars are not known to chemically react with color that has set into the hair shaft. The only bar we have that influences hair color is our Tame My Locks Shampoo which was created for dark curly specifically.
How should I use a shampoo bar?
Method 1:
For short hair: Use the bar in your hand and in a circular motion all along your hairline until you have the desired the lather. Put down your soap and wash as usual then rinse, rinse, rinse!
Method 2:
For Long hair and easy to tangle hair: Hold your ponytail with one hand and with the either hand hold your shampoo bar. In a downward stroke, rub the bar into your hair until it is soapy. Put down the bar and massage into scalp. Allow soap to run down hair as you wash then rinse, rinse, rinse!
Method 3
For all hair: Use the bar between your hands and rub to achieve a good lather then transfer the lather onto your hair and wash per usual. Then of course, rinse, rinse, rinse!
Should I keep using conditioner?
Some people's hair takes time to get used to the bar. During that time you may want to continue using your conditioner. You know your hair best, so do what you feel works for your hair and skin type. Continuing to use a conditioner may take weeks and up to a few months. Then one day you may notice that you no longer need it. Other people use a detangle spray to accompany their shampoo routine and others use an apple cider vinegar wash once a month.
The Handmade Difference
As always, our soaps and shampoos are handcrafted using the cold process method and aged to perfection. We create our products in small batches without the use of artificial dyes or fragrances, just good-for-you oils, butters, essential oils and botanicals. Please note that since our soaps and shampoos are handmade and handcut, the swirl patterns and hues may differ slightly from batch to batch.
