How to use solid shampoo?

Solid shampoo is a fantastic alternative to traditional liquid shampoos. It’s super practical and easy to use! If you’ve never used a solid shampoo before, you might be wondering how to apply a shampoo bar correctly.

Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Wet your hair: Step into the shower and thoroughly wet your hair with warm water.
   
2. Lather up: Take the solid shampoo and rub it between your wet hands to create lather, or rub it directly onto your hair. Two to three strokes over wet hair are enough to produce a rich lather.
   
3. Massage your scalp: Set the shampoo aside and take a moment to gently but thoroughly massage your scalp with your fingers.
   
4. Rinse: When you feel that your hair is clean, rinse the shampoo out with plenty of warm water. Make sure no product remains on your scalp or in your hair.
   
5. Conditioning / Styling: After rinsing, you can apply your favorite conditioner or dry and style your hair! You’ll step out of the shower with happy and healthy hair, and the best part is that you haven’t used any unnecessary plastic.
   
6. Storage: Don’t forget to store your solid shampoo in a dry, well-draining place after use.

How often should solid shampoo be used?

The frequency of using solid shampoo depends on your individual hair type and personal preferences. In general, solid shampoo can be used as often as liquid shampoo. For most people, this means shampooing their hair about every two to three days.

However, if you have very dry hair, you might want to wash less frequently, while with oily hair you might want to wash daily. As always, listen to your body and do what feels best for you.

How should I store solid shampoo after use?

Properly storing your solid shampoo is an important step to ensure its longevity. After use, you should store your solid shampoo in a dry place where it can drain and dry well.

A soap dish with holes to let excess water drain is perfect for storing your solid shampoo.

You can also leave a loofah slice in the shower and place your solid shampoo on it.

Another tip for storing solid shampoo is a sisal pouch. You can hang the pouch on a hook in the shower so that excess water can drain and the shampoo can dry. This way, you’ll enjoy your solid shampoo for a long time.

At Störtebeker, you can also find a suitable sisal pouch. It is made of 100% natural fibers and offers an eco-friendly and beautiful storage solution for your solid shampoo.

Conclusion

Switching to solid shampoo is a simple and effective way to improve your hair care routine. With proper use and storage, a shampoo bar quickly becomes an indispensable companion in your bathroom and even on the go. This way, you not only start your day with a good feeling but also do something good for yourself and our planet.
