Henna Cloves & Coffee Shampoo Bar
With aromas of real cloves and cinnamon, this shampoo bar can get your hair the cleanest it's ever been while also giving your hair major volume. The Henna dye (lawsone) molecule penetrates the hair shaft, binding with the keratin in the hair to fill in rough spots on a frayed cuticle. This adds a second layer of strength to help protect your hair from the elements and adding volume to each strand of hair.
This Henna shampoo can result in minor hints of dark reds & browns. Color transfer is usually more attainable when leaving the lather on your hair for long periods of time to give the dye molecule time to attach to your hair. Individuals with brown hair will have an easier time getting color and highlights, blonde hair will be little to no color transfer. Even though you might not get any color to transfer you still will benefit from the volume that the Henna provides in this shampoo.
If this is your first time using a solid shampoo, there usually is a period of transition from liquid shampoo. Liquid shampoos are detergents that will strip your hair of all natural oils, then deposits its own residue "moisture/body/perfume etc..." Switching to a solid shampoo bar will clean up the residue in your hair and then your scalp will have to regain it's natural oils and adjust. We recommend using a vinegar rinse or a baking soda scrub on your hair and scalp prior to using our shampoo bars. Sometimes shampoo bar transitioning can be challenging. If you have questions we would love to hear from you and assist in any way we can.
This shampoo was handcrafted in small batches using the cold process method and left to cure on the rack for at least 4 weeks. Please keep your shampoo bar in a well drained place after use, this will extend the longevity of your soaps existence.
