My new almond cherry delight butter bar is blended with bentonite clay, the hair restorative castor bean oil (which naturally helps to thicker and grow hair adding lustre and shine) united with organic aloe for complete hair and scalp health.
A Shampoo Bar resembles a bar of vegetable based soap, but it is formulated especially for hair. One of the many advantages of Shampoo Bars is that they can be formulated using all-natural ingredients including vegetable oils, vegetable butters, essential oils and other nutritive ingredients especially beneficial to the hair and scalp. They also tend to lather well.
The Advantages of Shampoo Bars
Amber's Organics Shampoo Bars contain all-natural ingredients.
Less environmental impact and less packaging, less waste.
They tend to lather better than all-natural liquid shampoos.
They don't require preservatives. Having said that, they can go rancid over time. It is recommended that you use your Shampoo Bars within six months of purchasing.
They are convenient for use while traveling, camping or for keeping in your locker at the gym.
Shampoo Bars are easy to pack and modest in size.
They won't leak like liquid shampoos can and can be included within carry-on luggage without breaking any current TSA regulations for carry-on items.
Shampoo Bars last a long time. In comparison, they are less expensive to use than liquid shampoos.
They are a lot less hassle for those would want to just "wash and go" and not fuss with their hair but still want the benefits of healthier hair.
How to Cleanse Your Hair Using a Shampoo Bar
Over time, you will most likely develop your own hair cleansing style that best suits your hair type and length of your hair. Start, however, by following these guidelines:
After you enter the shower, rinse your hair well.
Rub the shampoo bar directly onto your hair, working your way from your scalp down to the ends. Repeat until you have fully covered each section of your hair.
Massage your scalp and hair until a good lather forms.
Rinse the shampoo out of your hair.
Repeat.
Conditioning/Clarifying Your Hair Inexpensively
Combine 1 part vinegar to 9 parts water to create a clarifying rinse.
After you have shampooed your hair, pour the clarifying rinse over your hair and scalp so that it has completely covered each section of hair from root to ends.
Rinse.
Your hair will not smell like vinegar after you blow it dry or allow your hair to naturally dry.
The castor debate. I am a conscientious seller and want to reassure you that unless you eat my soaps (not recommend) they won't make you sick. Castor used is of the highest food grade, only the safest and very best for my customers. Remember, you have to know your stuff and many commenters are not usually qualified to make statements about particular items, so don't panic, ask me if you have questions.
Why is castor oil not poisonous?
It's made by extracting oil from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. These seeds, which are known as castor beans, contain a toxic enzyme called ricin. However, the heating process that castor oil undergoes deactivates it, allowing the oil to be used safely.
Castor Oil in Soap
The castor oil available to most soap-makers in usually food grade. It certainly is safe for use in soap, and probably good enough to take internally (if you need a really good laxative!). It’s a great addition to cold-process soap. I wouldn’t make soap without it!
