How to use shampoo bars | Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics

Using a shampoo bar is a great, waste-free alternative to liquid shampoos. These mighty bars may be small but are fully-packed with exquisite essential oils, fresh ingredients and have an impressive lathering ability that makes them incredibly long-lasting. Each bar can last up between 80 to 100 washes—the estimated equivalent of up to three regular-size bottles of liquid shampoo! Take good care of those lovely locks with nourishing ingredients and none of the wasteful plastic.

Step by step

1 Hop in the shower and fully soak your hair with warm water.

2 Take the bar and rub it between your wet hands to create a lather, or directly onto hair. Two to three strokes across wet hair will get a rich foam going.

3 Put the bar aside and take a moment to massage your scalp using your fingers (no nails!).

4 When you’re happily clean, rinse off with warm water. Make sure there's no product left on the scalp or hair.

5 Once rinsed, apply your favorite conditioner or let dry and style! You'll leave with happy and healthy hair knowing that you didn't use any wasteful plastic.

When you're done, keep your shampoo bar away in a dry, drained spot. Our perfectly sized shampoo bar tins are a great way to keep them safe and take them on the go.
