How to wash hair with a shampoo bar:
Washing with a shampoo bar is pretty simple. First, you wet your hair thoroughly, then rub the shampoo bar in a few patches in your hair. Then work up the lather with your hands. Ensure the lather is worked in through all of your hair and down to your scalp to give your hair a complete cleaning. Then rinse your hair with fresh water making sure to get out all the shampoo. Rinsing your hair with bathtub water that already has soap mixed in with it will not give you a clean rinse. I wash with my shampoo bars every 2 to 3 days, or more often if I have been getting dirty in the garden or have been working out strenuously.

Transitioning to Shampoo Bars:
For some people, it takes longer than others to adjust to shampoo bars. This depends on a lot of factors including if there is build-up from other products in your hair. Also if the shampoo you have been using previously strongly strips your natural oils, then your scalp may seem to overproduce sebum when you switch to a milder shampoo. Read this blog post if you need help transitioning.

Incompatible products:
Do not use shampoo bars with salt hair sprays.

Swimmers:
For chlorinated pool and salt-water swimmers, wash your hair twice after swimming for best results. This is also the best practice when using traditional shampoos.

Bleached and highlighted hair:
Our formulas work best with natural hair types, henna-dyed hair, and dyed but not bleached hair. Bleached hair has a rough surface area that traps conditioning oils. This makes it difficult to get a residue-free rinse with bleached hair. Results vary with the level of damage from bleaching. Using a diluted vinegar rinse may help remove residue after washing with the shampoo bar. Use 1-2 Tablespoons in 1-quart water. Bleached hair that has also been dyed requires a strand test to make sure vinegar does not alter the hair color.
