- Your entire body
Let’s explore the wonderful world of shampoo and conditioner bars! This article discusses the good, the interesting, and the unexpected when you are switching to solid shampoos and conditioners.
The Good
Similar to any individual, you are starting a solid beauty product journey with lower expectations. You cannot fathom how a smaller bar of shampoo or conditioner can yield enough amount of a product to clean and moisturize your thick hair. Try it today. You’ll be pleasantly surprised!
After wetting your favorite shampoo and conditioner bar between your palms, you’ll have enough amount for your hair and scalp. You’ll notice that your shampoo and conditioner bar has a mild lather compared to your traditional liquid product.
In fact, between low and no lather shampoos are ideal for dry and curly hair as they do not strip your strands off their natural moisture. Appreciative for the little lather, you’ll easily target your scalp and allow just enough of the product to flow through the rest of your strands.
You must be feeling pleasantly by this solid shampoo experience. You’re now feeling hopeful about conditioning your natural hair.
The Interesting
After running your solid conditioner under the water and lathering it, you’ll instantly know you’re in for a huge challenge. As a learner, you are more likely not to get any amount of the product on your palms. You’ll vigorously scrub to extract something you hope will look like your usual liquid conditioner.
Slowly but surely, your bar will start to soften, and you’ll work up the milky formula. Apply a small amount of your product to the ends and then commence your lathering process again. Once you feel that you’ve got enough product, start to detangle.
If you do not detangle your hair before showering and depend on a huge amount of conditioner to slacken knots, this bar mayn’t be the perfect one for you. To ease the process, detangle your strands prior to taking a shower.
The Unexpected
Store your shampoo and conditioner bar in a mesh beauty solid pro bag for proper flow of air. Also, try drying and storing it back in its initial perforated box. You’ll be surprised at how nicely it’ll dry without creating any residue.
After using the shampoo bar, you need to notice soft hair with a light moisture level that doesn’t weigh down your curls. The low lather and sulfate-free nature of the solid shampoo will enable you to preserve your hair’s natural levels of moisture and also clean your scalp thoroughly.
It’ll come to your realization that it is the perfect time to ditch your bottle shampoos and conditioners for this eco-friendly alternative that actually works excellently for your type of hair.
