Do Solid Shampoo Bars Actually Work?

Some of the most popular solid shampoos include Argon Oil Shampoo, Forest Honey & Neem Shampoo, and Nourishing Coconut Oil Shampoo.

The question of whether shampoo bars actually work is one we hear before investing in shampoo bars and we've created this blog post to answer it once and for all and compare and contrast solid shampoo to traditional liquid shampoo.

Solid Shampoos – Do They Work?

A solid shampoo bar is a shampoo that is made by mixing shampoo ingredients in a specific ratio, and then pressing it into a solid block. This is essentially the same as the way soap is made.

There are many different solid shampoos that are available. Solid shampoo bars are made from natural ingredients, and are made to be used as a solid shampoo bar to wash hair.

They are also made to be used in the shower, as a solid shampoo bar.

They are not the same as liquid shampoo. They don't have the same viscosity and texture. They also have a different smell. They are also a bit thicker and heavier than liquid shampoo. You will use them like you would use a solid soap bar.

Shampoo bars are thicker and heavier than regular shampoo. Regular shampoo is 95% water, is full of chemicals and comes in a plastic bottle. So solid shampoo bars are better for you and better for the environment too.

So to answer the question of whether shampoo bars work? Of course they do! But as they contain no water, first you need to get your hair really wet, work the shampoo bar into a lather, then massage it into your hair as normal, before rinsing away.

Are Shampoo Bars Better than Regular Shampoo?

Well, they are certainly better for the environment, will not dry out your hair, and shampoo bars will last much longer than their traditional counterparts.

Hair does not need harsh detergents for cleaning, but regular shampoo contains sulfates and other nasty chemicals which can cause excessively dry hair, as well as leaching out your hair dye.

So if you want to keep your hair looking and feeling healthy, then a solid shampoo bar is the way to go.

Are Shampoo Bars Good for Greasy Hair?

Solid shampoo bars are made from natural ingredients. That means no harsh chemicals, no sulfates, no parabens, and no artificial fragrances.

They are 100% natural and that means they are good for greasy hair. And as they are made from natural ingredients, you are not washing your hair with any harsh chemicals which may strip it of its natural oils and natural shine.

Are Shampoo Bars Cost-Effective?

Solid shampoo bars are much more cost-effective than regular liquid shampoo. Of course they last longer, and you don't need to use a lot of it to clean your hair. You can just use a small amount of the shampoo bar to lather your hair, and rinse away.

Can Shampoo Bars Cause Dandruff?

Of course not! Solid shampoo bars contain no harsh detergents or cleansing agents. They are made from natural ingredients that work together to clean your hair without damaging your hair or causing any sort of dryness.

In contrast, regular liquid shampoo can be drying and harsh on your hair. Solid shampoo bars are made from 100% natural ingredients.

Can Shampoo Bars Be Used on Coloured Hair?

Yes, solid shampoo bars are ideal for use on coloured hair just as they are on natural, untreated hair. They are made from natural ingredients and are 100% safe for colour-treated hair. In fact, shampoo bars are ideal for dyed hair as they will not dry your hair out and will not cause your colour to fade faster.

How Long Do Shampoo Bars Last?

The best solid shampoo bars will last for a minimum of 12 months. And because they are made from natural ingredients, they are ideal for regular use, and will not dry out your hair as much as liquid shampoo.

How Do You Store Shampoo Bars?

Keep your shampoo bars in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. So if you are going to be away for a while, make sure you store them somewhere safe, dry, and cool.

Do Shampoo Bars Expire?

Shampoo bars can last for a very long time. If you store them properly they will last for a minimum of 12 months, and some people have reported using them for over two years. They do tend to dry out after a while though, so it is always best to keep a spare box of them in your bathroom cabinet.
