Rosemary is king when it comes to hair and scalp care. It helps strengthen the hair, stimulate the follicles, and combat dry and flaky scalps reducing dandruff. Nettle works gently to stimulate the scalp’s circulation. It oxygenates the hair follicles and strengthens hair fibers. Nettle promotes hair growth as well as hair health, enhancing sheen and fullness for any type of hair. Essential oils of tea tree, lavender, and cedarwood have been added for their benefits to both hair and scalp. To get a good lather, rub the soap bar across your wet hair several times until you achieve a good lather, and then gently continue to massage the hair and scalp insuring the lather has covered your entire head. You may want to let the lather remain on your head for a minute or so before rinsing thoroughly. What’s truly great about this soap is its versatility; it can also be used on the body and the face making it a superb all-over cleanser. A manly-sized handmade bar that measures approximately 3½” x 2½” x 1” and weighs approximately 5 ounces. This soap is hand-poured and rough-cut. This process naturally produces irregularities in shape and surface texture (characteristics of truly handmade soap) but does not diminish the efficacy of the soap. $7.95

TRANSITIONING TO ALL NATURAL SHAMPOO BARS: Many will not go through a transition period. For those that do, there may be a natural adjustment period depending on your hair type, your water and the hair products you previously used. All commercial shampoos will leave a build up on hair. Initially, our shampoo bars may not wash away this build up, causing hair to feel coated, heavy or waxy after the first few washes. In this case, use an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse; it helps by removing soap residue and mineral deposits from hard water. Mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar with 8 ounces of water. Pour through hair after shampooing and let it sit for a minute or two. Rinse well. The vinegar scent will not be noticeable after your hair drives. Most people are fine without an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse.
