Isn’t having a good hair day a little of something that adds to the happiness? What if you can have healthy good hair forever and also be able to contribute to the goodness of the planet and live sustainably? Indeed, shampoo bars are a solution to it! A shampoo bar is exactly what it sounds like – it is a hair cleanser in solid form. But what make the difference are the ingredients that go into it.
Most shampoos are made from harsh detergents, Sulphate, and parabens that leave hair dry and weak. On the other side, shampoo bars are jam-packed with natural ingredients and gentle cleansers making the hair feel super nourished and healthy.
This could leave you with a question about how shampoo bars are different from soap bars. Well, we got you! Soap bars contain substances that make them alkaline with a pH >7 wherein the human scalp is acidic in nature with a pH of about 5.5.
Using a soap bar on your hair is just like opening the doors to a disaster as it disrupts the entire chemistry leaving scum on your scalp. Shampoo bars are made with ingredients like natural soap berries that remove only the dirt without stripping away the moisture. In addition to this, it contains plant-based oils like coconut oil, sesame oil, castor oil, argan oil, olive oil, and shea butter in combination with other essential oils like tea tree, rosemary, lavender, etc. These keep the pH of shampoo bars within 5-7 which is just perfect for your scalp. The ingredients can be easily rinsed off without leaving behind any scum causing skin conditions on the scalp.
The oils present in shampoo bars leave your hair super nourished and hydrated for healthier hair over time naturally. Using these is no different from the usual way. Hop into the shower and wet your hair preferably with warm water. Rub the bar in your wet hands to create a lather or directly apply it to your hair. Now keep it aside and give a moment for the positively bursting ingredients to do the magic by gently massaging with your fingertips. Rinse it off with warm water making sure no product stays on your scalp. To skip conditioner, it is highly preferable to oil hair a few hours before the shower as it lubricates the roots from within.
In addition to strengthening hair from within, shampoo bars are also a contribution to the environment. Wondering how? These bars come in biodegradable packaging unlike the liquid shampoos in plastic bottles, the danger of which needs no justification. Adding to this is water scarcity. Liquid shampoos demand a lot of freshwaters compared to these concentrated bars. These micro bars are a solution to macro problems! Style your way without plastic coming your way!
