How to use a shampoo bar?

Shampoo bars are becoming increasingly popular due to their many benefits. They are gentle on the scalp, eco-friendly, and long-lasting. Plus, they come in a variety of formulations to suit all hair types.

If you’re new to shampoo bars, then you might be wondering how to use a shampoo bar. In this article, we’ll give you a step-by-step guide on how to use a shampoo bar, as well as some tips on how to get the most out of your new haircare product.

What is a shampoo bar?

Shampoo bars – also called hair soap, solid shampoo and shampoo soap – is really just a shampoo but in solid form. Our shampoo bars are 100% natural, vegan and cruelty-free. Shampoo bars are also more sustainable than bottled shampoo as they generate less waste and packaging. Shampoo bars are a convenient and easy-to-use alternative to liquid shampoo. They are also less likely to spill in your bag and one bar equals to 2 bottles of liquid shampoo, making them a cost-effective option.

If you are looking for a natural and sustainable shampoo option, then shampoo bars are a great choice!

How to use a shampoo bar

  • Make sure your hair is completely wet.
  • Hold the solid shampoo bar under the warm water, so that the bar becomes warm and soft.
  • Then gently massage the Bar over damp hair. Starting at the roots and working your way down. You can also run the bar through your hair with your fingers.
  • Now massage the shampoo in thoroughly with your finger. The massage will generate lots of rich foam and makes sure any oiliness rinses right out.

Pro tip: Concentrate on areas that are particularly oily or damaged.

  • Put the solid shampoo somewhere where it can dry properly. Ideal is our bamboo soap dish. You will see that your hair soap will last much longer.
  • Rins all the foam and shampoo out.

Pro tip: Make sure you fully rinse out all the foam to prevent shampoo build up.

  • Enjoy healthy and natural hair. And that’s it! Using a shampoo bar is super easy.

Here are some additional tips for using a shampoo bar:

  • Don’t over-wash your hair. Most people only need to wash their hair 2-3 times per week. Over-washing can strip your hair of its natural oils and make it dry and brittle.
  • Use a conditioner. Even if you have oily hair, it’s still important to use a conditioner. Conditioner helps to hydrate your hair and prevent it from becoming dry and tangly.
  • Store your shampoo bar properly. When you’re not using your shampoo bar, store it in a cool, dry place. This will help it to last longer.

Here are some common mistakes to avoid when using a shampoo bar:

  • Using too much shampoo. Shampoo bars are very concentrated, so you only need a small amount to get a good clean. Using too much shampoo can make your hair dry and frizzy.
  • Not lathering the shampoo enough. It’s important to lather the shampoo bar thoroughly before applying it to your hair. This will help the shampoo to distribute evenly and clean your hair effectively.
  • Not rinsing the shampoo out completely. Be sure to rinse the shampoo out of your hair completely to avoid any residue buildup.

Getting used to shampoo bar

When you have washed your hair with synthetic and often aggressive products for years, your hair and scalp simply need to recover. After a few washes, your hair may feel a bit oily. How quickly you get used to a hair soap depends on how often you wash your hair. For one person, a shampoo bar works perfectly right away. But it can takes about 2-4 weeks. If you have used shampoo bars for a longer period of time, you will notice that your hair feels healthier and has more volume.

Need conditioner?

A conditioner bar can help repair damaged hair or just give your hair a natural boost from time to time.

Conclusion

Shampoo bars are a sustainable and effective alternative to liquid shampoo. They are easy to use and can provide a number of benefits for your hair and scalp. If you’re new to shampoo bars, be sure to follow the tips above to get the most out of them.

Soap making recipe

The recipe I’m sharing with you is the very first soap recipe I ever made and also the recipe that made me fall in love with soap making. From now on you can also easily make your own soap. Today, almost all soaps bars are machine-made. This is much cheaper and faster than traditional handmade soap. We choose the purest way of making soap. The traditional method in uses low temperatures and is called the cold process method. This is a pure artisanal and slow process. The soaps have to cure for 4-6 weeks. By using low temperatures, the vitamins and minerals are preserved as much as possible. And your skin will thank you for this. Comparing factory soap with artisanal handmade soap is a bit like comparing factory bread with sourdough bread from an authentic bakery. Soap making Making natural soap is magical and different every time! It seems simple with so few components, but it is really a game between the ingredients, temperatures and the time of mixing. In short, making your own soap is slightly different every time! The result: a luxurious soap that cleanses in a mild way and also nourishes your skin. Unique to Nature Bar is that every soap & shampoo bar contains a circular ingredient. A favorite of many is the Orange & Calendula Soap. That’s why I added a simple version of this crowd pleaser as an extra to this basic recipe. So that you too can make circular soap and contribute to a more beautiful and cleaner world. Material: Goggles & gloves Face mask Glass measuring cup 2x Cup Scale Pan Thermometer strainer Fine grater Blender Spoon Spatula Soap mold, old milk carton or a (silicone) baking tinOld tea or towel Ingredients: Base oils 150 gr olive oil 150 gr coconut oil 150 gr sunflower oil Lye mixture 149 grams of water 65 gr lye crystals Additional 15 g orange oil 1 tbsp grated orange zest 5 g calendula leaves (dried) Step 1 – Lye Mixtures Handle lye with care, so put on gloves, safety goggles and a face mask. Weigh 149 g of water into the glass measuring cup Weigh 65 g of lye crystals (Sodium hydroxide) in the other glass measuring cup. Now add the crystals to the water in a well-ventilated area – for example under the extractor hood or outside. Always do this in that order and never the other way around! Immediately stir the crystals well but gently with a spoon until the crystals are completely absorbed by the water. A lot of heat is released when the crystals dissolve. Make sure the jug can cool in a safe place until the lye mixture is 40-50 degrees and/or transparent. Step 2 – Base oils Weigh the oils into a saucepan. Heat the pan over a low heat so that the coconut oil melts and forms an emulsion together. Keep an eye on the temperature because you don’t want the oils higher than 45 degrees. Then the good properties of the oils are lost. Step 3 – additional additions Weigh in a cup the 15 gr orange oil 1 tsp orange zest and 5 gr calendula. I use the peel of squeezed oranges from a local supermarket. But of course you can also use the peel of a fresh orange for grating. Step 4 – final prep Prepare your mold on the old tea or towel. Check the temperatures, when the oils and lye mixture are about 45 C you can start with the most fun step! Step 5 – Soap making You are now ready to make soap. Slowly pour the lye mixture through a sieve into the oil mixture.The saponification process starts from this moment. Almost immediately you will see the golden transparent oil mixture change into a cloudier and lighter mixture. Grab the hand blender and pulse the hand blender a few times until the mixture is as thick as custard or custard, this may take a while. If it goes too fast you can also grab a whisk. This will slow down the saponification process, giving you plenty of time. If you find it exciting, the guard is your friend. You can check the correct consistency by testing for trace. Trace is when the mixture is so thick that it leaves a trace. Use the whisk to drop a few drops onto the soap mixture. If these stay put – even if only for a moment – ​​then you are done mixing. Now add the extra additives and stir again with the whisk until the orange oil, orange peels and calendula leaves are completely incorporated into the soap mixture. Pour the soap into the mold and use the spatula to clean the pan completely. Gently tap the mold on the counter to distribute the soap evenly. Cover the mold with old tea towels so that it slowly saponifies. Don’t forget to keep your gloves on when cleaning. In fresh soap, the lye mixture is not yet completely dissolved. So make sure it doesn’t come into contact with your skin! After 1-2 days you can demold and cut the soap. After 4-6 weeks of aging in a dry place, the soap bars are ready for use.
