Solid Shampoo Bars

Quick links to our handmade shampoo bars

Dry Hair    with lavender, tea tree and patchouli essential oils
Oily Hair    with lemon and peppermint essential oils

It's a mystery to us why shampoo is always a liquid. Most of them are over 95% water and so need all kinds of preservatives, thickeners and foam boosters to keep them presentable and fresh. Plus there's all that plastic packaging to dispose of afterwards.

We say ... bottles are for babies, beer and milk, not shampoo!

Our solid shampoo bars are chock full of lovely stuff like olive, coconut, castor bean, jojoba, avocado and sweet almond oils, plus shea butter, which nourish and protect your hair and scalp. We then add essential oils specially selected for particular hair types, so there's a bar for everybody. As you can also use the shampoo as an all-over body wash, they're perfect for people who want to take just one bar into the shower.

Just wet the bar and rub it between your hands to work up a lather and massage this lather into your hair and scalp. Repeat if necessary and then rinse well. If you remember to keep the bar dry between uses, it will last for ages - we reckon it lasts much longer than a bottle of shampoo.

Beer & Geranium Shampoo: for everyday use

Black Sheep beer, geranium essential oil and chocolate, all in one bar: just don't try to eat it!

Beer has been used for centuries as a conditioner for hair, so we've used it as a base for our everyday shampoo ("I've only had two showers, officer"). Geranium essential oil - one of the most calming essential oils there is, which also just happens to be great for hair - means there's no beer smell at all, and a pinch of cocoa powder gives it a lovely rich chocolatey colour.

Lavender, Tea Tree & Patchouli: for dry hair

People who suffer from dry, brittle hair or itchy scalps know they need special treatment, so we've added tea tree and patchouli oils, used in our Healing Hippy soap, to soothe the skin and also help with dandruff. Plus we've added lavender essential oil to help to condition dry and damaged hair.

Of course, the jojoba, avocado and castor oils that are such an important part of all our shampoo bars also moisturises and nourishes your crowning glory.

Lemon & Peppermint: for oily hair

Oily hair needs a gentle shampoo that helps to balance the natural oils produced by the hair and scalp, without stripping them away and leaving the hair feeling unpleasantly dry. We use a mixture of Lemon and Peppermint essential oils, which act as a mild astringent but will leave your hair manageably soft and shiny.

The zingy fresh scent is also brilliant for the morning, as these two essential oils will fill you with pep and zest for the day ahead.
