Switching to a Shampoo Bar: What to Expect the First Two Weeks

Shampoo Bars That Make Wash Day a Ritual

Switching from bottled shampoo to a bar is easy, but your hair might need a little time to adjust. Here's what to expect.

Days 1 to 3: Learning the Bar

Using a bar feels a little different at first. Here's how:

  1. Get your hair really wet.
  2. Rub the bar between your hands, or glide it over your hair a few times.
  3. Massage the lather into your scalp.
  4. Rinse really well.

Tip: More water means more lather.

Days 4 to 10: The Adjustment

If you've used sulfate shampoos for years, your hair might feel a little different for a few days. It may feel heavier or a bit oily. That's normal. Your scalp is getting used to a gentler wash.

Our NUTRIENT FOCUS Shampoo Bar is sulfate-free and made with castor oil, butters, keratin and silk amino acids.

Days 11 to 14: Settling In

By now, most people find their hair feels soft and clean. If it still feels heavy, try rinsing longer or using a little less conditioner.

Don't Forget Conditioner

Our Conditioner Bar is made with mango butter, aloe vera and silk amino acids. Glide it over the middle and ends of your hair, wait a minute, then rinse.

Keep Your Bar Happy

  • Let it dry between washes.
  • Keep it out of the shower spray.
  • Store it in the travel tin once it's dry.

Our Tip

If you have hard water, your hair may feel a little different with a bar. Rinsing really well makes a big difference.
