The shampoo bar that nurtures your hair by not stripping away all the valuable essential natural oils. Curly Girl Method approved ingredients.
It is well known that sulfates are an effective cleanser. But when it comes to your scalp and hair, sulfates may be too effective. When used in shampoos, sulfates are intended to strip away the oil and remove dirt. But for hair to stay healthy, it needs to retain some natural oils. That’s where these sulfate free shampoo bars shine!
If you want to use the Curly Girl Method for the best care of your curly, wavy, or frizzy hair, then using a sulfate free shampoo bar is recommended. Keeping some natural oil in your hair allows curls to naturally stay soft and bouncy, and reducing some of the frizzies. Read HERE to learn more about the Curly Girl Method.
These bars are 100% Plastic Free Packaging, 90% Organic, Palm Oil Free, and Vegan.

These ingredients can stimulate the blood on your scalp which assist the hair follicles in receiving a supply oxygen and nutrients to the hair root, which is where your hair growth begins. These bars are full of nourishing ingredients that leave your hair looking and feeling amazing.
The value of Vitamin E is found in the way it supports hair’s elasticity. Adding a lipid layer can help seal the hair cuticle, giving your hair a shinier appearance and reducing breakage which leads to split ends. The Vitamin E we choose to use is derived from a natural food source unlike synthetic vitamin A that is can be obtained from petroleum products.
The aloe vera plant has a chemical makeup that is similar to keratin, the primary protein found in hair. This helps to moisturize, strengthen, and repair damage. Aloe vera juice is also a good source of essential amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins A, C, E, and B-12.
The Lavender, Rosemary, Peppermint, and Tea Tree essential oils are an added scalp stimulate awakening those hair follicles plus a bonus refreshing aromatherapy treatment for your mind & body. Make your shower time a bit of spa time too.
Solid soap bars are a great eco-friendly alternative to liquid sulfate free shampoos plus they leave no wasteful plastic bottles behind when you are done with the shampoo. Here is a quick guide on how to successfully use a sulfate free shampoo bar and set the right expectations for the results.
- Completely saturate your hair with water before washing.
- Rub the bar between your hands to get the lather started.
- Rub the bar over your head, focusing the application more on your scalp, than the length of your hair. Set the bar down.
- With both hands, use your fingertips to scrub your scalp, working the soap lather over your scalp and length of your hair as you go. The key is to clean your scalp to remove the dirt and oil for best results.
- Rinse hair thoroughly. Repeat if necessary
- Apply conditioner to your hair, if desired. Conditioning is always recommended to balance the pH levels in your hair after shampooing and smoothing the cuticle down for a shinier appearance.
PS – Use warm water when washing and conditioning your hair. The warm water will help to cleanse the hair and the conditioner will be able to penetrate better. Use cool water as a quick rinse before getting out of the shower. The cold water will help to close the cuticle and keep the moisture and nutrients from the conditioner in your hair.

SET YOUR EXPECTATIONS APPROPRIATELY.
If you are accustomed to using a shampoo with sulfate in it, then using a sulfate-free shampoo on your hair will feel very different. When your hair is wet, just after washing and rinsing, your hair will most likely have a ‘greasy’ or ‘heavy’ feel because the natural oils remain on your hair strands although the dirt has been washed away. Traditional shampoo strips the hair of all the oil, leaving that squeaky-clean feeling.
The natural oil in our hair helps keep it from getting too dry or frizzy. When we strip the oil away, we need to use more styling products to put moisture back in. That’s why shampoo bars that don’t have sulfates are good for curly hair- they help the curls stay moist and looking natural. Use some conditioner after washing to help seal (flatten) the hair follicle.
DRY AND STYLE AS USUAL, THEN DECIDE IF A SULFATE-FREE SHAMPOO BAR IS RIGHT FOR YOU.
If you do not like the way your hair performs after styling, you can use his bar as an effective body soap or hand wash. Either way, you do not have to let the bar go to waste!
Please set your expectations appropriately so you are not disappointed by the shampoo usage of this product. Happy showering!

I absolutely love that this shampoo bar has a rich lather that many other shampoo bars don’t have. This shampoo bar also doesn’t leave any gunk like other ones I’ve tried. It lasts a while and is made with simple yet effective and clean ingredients.

Absolutely love this shampoo bar! It is my favorite and is exceptionally above any shampoo bar I’ve tried. The best part is that it doesn’t have sulfate, a harsh ingredient, which is what most shampoo bars have.

Tangie used to advertise this bar for hair and body, and I love it for that all-over purpose. Using the rosemary-lavender bar, I love it all over my skin. The scent is light and refreshing, and leaves my skin soft and clean. It’s especially good at removing residue from the natural deodorants I use, and leaving me smooth and fresh all over. The peppermint-tea tree bar is not as great as a body bar; the mint is a bit strong for eyes and tender parts. My thin, fine, oily-tending hair especially appreciates a vinegar rinse after washing to smooth down the hair shaft (equal parts apple cider vinegar and water–or even better, a rosemary-lavender-mint-sage tea that is one of my favorites, instead of water), but it’s not required. Taking it out of the shower between uses lets it dry out and last longer; I usually get at least two weeks per bar. This is the perfect bar to take with you traveling. It does it all!
