A shampoo bar is a solid, concentrated form of shampoo, typically made with natural ingredients and packaged without plastic. It's essentially a bar of shampoo without the added water that liquid shampoos contain. This makes shampoo bars more sustainable and often more potent, as the ingredients aren't diluted. They can be a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional liquid shampoos.
Wet your hair: Thoroughly wet your hair with water.
Lather: Rub the shampoo bar directly onto your scalp and hair, or lather it in your hands and then apply the foam to your hair.
Massage: Massage the lather into your scalp and hair, just as you would with a liquid shampoo.
Rinse: Rinse your hair thoroughly with water.
Things to consider when choosing a shampoo bar:
Hair type: Different shampoo bars are formulated for different hair types (e.g., oily, dry, curly, color-treated).
Ingredients: Read the ingredient list carefully to ensure the bar is free of any ingredients that may irritate your scalp or hair.
pH level: Some shampoo bars are soap-based (higher pH) while others are detergent-based (lower pH). Consider your hair's natural pH and choose accordingly.
Transition period: It may take some time for your hair to adjust to using a shampoo bar, especially if you're switching from traditional liquid shampoo.

Coconut milk has been used by women in India to help prevent hair loss. It acts as a natural detangler and a great natural conditioner encouraging longer and thicker hair.
