How to use a shampoo bar

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.

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.
