Solid Shampoo Bars
Quick links to our handmade shampoo bars
Everyday Bar with geranium essential
oil and Black Sheep beer
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. |
