What is a shampoo bar?

A shampoo bar is basically just shampoo in a solid form. This product is designed to make hair care more sustainable. The main difference between a 'normal' shampoo and a CG-proof shampoo bar is that it: contains no water; has no plastic packaging.

Because it contains no water, the bar is solid. As soon as you rub the bar on wet hair or in damp hands, it starts to foam and activate the shampoo. This makes it easy to use, just like a liquid shampoo. Most shampoo bars are round, but they can come in other shapes, depending on the brand.

Shampoo bars often have a shorter list of ingredients. Compare for yourself: the best bars contain only essential ingredients, each with a specific purpose. Please note: a shampoo bar is never 100% natural. This is impossible because any cosmetic product needs to contain certain substances to make it stable and effective. A 100% pure product would actually dry out your hair. Shampoo bars, on the other hand, have a balanced pH that thoroughly cleanses your hair without drying it out.

So don't use pure Aleppo soap on your hair; it can actually have adverse effects. Choose a shampoo bar specifically designed for hair care to keep your curls fresh and healthy!

Why use a shampoo bar for curly hair?

There are many benefits to using a shampoo bar, especially for curly hair. Did you know that the best way to wash your curls is gently? A bar is ideal for this! Here are the main benefits and why a shampoo bar is a good choice:

  • Gentle cleansing: Will not dry out your curls.
  • Perfect pH balance: Keeps your hair hydrated after washing.
  • Nourishing ingredients: Formulated with nourishing oils and extracts.
  • Convenient for travelling: No bottles to lug around; ideal for a weekend away.
  • Targeted formulas: Only the essential ingredients for healthy hair.
  • Delicious fragrances: Often infused with natural essential oils.

Need to get used to a shampoo bar?

Your hair may take some time to get used to a shampoo bar. This is normal and usually temporary. Give your hair time to adjust; this usually takes about 3 to 4 weeks. After that, you will notice that your hair feels healthy and fresh!

How do you choose the right CG shampoo bar for your curls?

When buying a CG-proof shampoo bar, it is important to look carefully at the list of ingredients. A shampoo bar often feels very natural, but did you know that there are many bars that contain less desirable ingredients? Always check the ingredients to make sure you are buying the right product.

It's also important to choose a bar that suits your hair type. Do you have curly hair? Then choose a shampoo bar that is specially formulated for curly hair. These bars are often enriched with nourishing and moisturising ingredients so your hair doesn't dry out and retains its natural bounce.

Best shampoo bar for curls

A curly girl friendly shampoo bar does not contain silicones, sulphates, mineral oils or drying alcohol. These ingredients can be too harsh for curly hair, drying it out and making your curls less manageable. Choose a shampoo bar that is suitable for curly hair to ensure your hair is clean without unnecessary damage.

You want the very best for your curls. That's why we have specially selected curly shampoo bars, all of which are CG proof.

Give your curls exactly what they need with these bars! Did you know that the brands above were all created by women with curly hair? The formulas are perfectly balanced and specifically designed for healthy, vibrant curls.

How do you use a shampoo bar for curly hair?

You're probably wondering: how do you use a shampoo bar and is it really convenient? It works in much the same way as a normal shampoo, with a few small differences:

Here's how to use a shampoo bar properly:

  • Wet your hair thoroughly.
  • Moisten your hands and pick up the shampoo bar.
  • Rub the bar between your hands to activate the product.
  • Apply the foam to your scalp with your hands and massage in.
  • Repeat the above steps until you have covered all areas of your scalp.

Extra tip: Is the bar not lathering well enough? Rinse your hair and repeat the steps for best results.

How many times can you use a shampoo bar?

Just like regular shampoo, a shampoo bar should preferably be used no more than 2-3 times a week. It is extremely important to always use a conditioner after washing to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Please note: How often you wash your hair depends on your personal preference and the needs of your hair.

How do I store a shampoo bar?

To enjoy your shampoo bar for as long as possible, store it in a dry, dark place. If you store the bar in a damp place, such as the shower, it may break or melt more quickly. This makes it less convenient to use, which would be a shame.

What to do if your bar breaks?

Broken your shampoo bar? No problem, you can fix it!

  • Put a saucepan on the stove with a little water.
  • Place a heatproof dish in the pan and let the bar melt gently in the dish.
  • When the bar is partially melted, remove it from the pan and knead the pieces together again.
  • Leave the bar to harden in a dry place.
