How do I use solid shampoo?

Does solid shampoo lather as much as liquid shampoo?
Yes, although some solid shampoos may produce less lather than liquids due to the absence of sulfates. However, this does not affect their effectiveness. The foam obtained is sufficient to effectively cleanse the hair.
How do I store my solid shampoo?
To prolong the life of your solid shampoo, keep it dry between uses. Use a soap dish with drainage holes or a cloth pouch that allows air to circulate.
Can solid shampoo cause irritation?
Solid shampoo, if formulated with natural ingredients and no harsh chemicals, is generally gentle on the scalp. However, as with any skincare product, it's advisable to check the list of ingredients to avoid known allergens.
Is solid shampoo really environmentally friendly?
Yes, solid shampoo is a more environmentally-friendly alternative. It requires less water to manufacture, reduces the use of plastic thanks to its minimalist packaging, and its ingredients are often biodegradable.
How long does a solid shampoo last?
The lifespan of a solid shampoo depends on its size and frequency of use. On average, a 100-gram bar can last between 60 and 80 washes, or around two to three months of regular use.
Can I use solid shampoo on color-treated hair?
Yes, many solid shampoos are formulated to be gentle and suitable for color-treated hair. They cleanse without stripping color, helping to maintain the shine and vibrancy of your dye.
By switching to solid shampoo, you're not only helping to protect the environment, you're also benefiting from an effective product that respects your hair's health.
How do I choose the right solid shampoo for my hair type?
To choose the right solid shampoo, first identify your hair type (dry, oily, normal, curly, color-treated). Then, look for a solid shampoo formulated specifically for your needs. For example, dry hair benefits from moisturizing formulas with nourishing oils, while oily hair requires purifying formulas with absorbing clays.
Can solid shampoo be used daily?
Daily use of a solid shampoo depends on its formulation and your hair type. For normal to oily hair, daily use may be appropriate, but for dry or sensitive hair, we recommend spacing out washes to avoid drying. Always choose a mild solid shampoo for frequent use.
Is there an adaptation period when switching to solid shampoo?
Yes, there can be an adaptation period when switching to solid shampoo. Hair and scalp accustomed to liquid shampoos containing sulfates and silicones may need a few weeks to adjust to a more natural formula. During this period, hair may appear drier or greasier, but this usually stabilizes quickly.
How can solid shampoo be used in conjunction with other hair care products?
Solid shampoo can be integrated into your hair routine with other products such as solid conditioners, masks and hair oils. After washing your hair with a solid shampoo, apply a conditioner to moisturize and detangle. Use a mask once a week for deep conditioning, and oils to nourish the ends.
Is solid shampoo more economical in the long term?
Yes, solid shampoo is generally more economical in the long term. A bar of solid shampoo lasts longer than a bottle of liquid shampoo, often the equivalent of two or three bottles. What's more, by avoiding harsh chemicals, it can improve hair health, reducing the need to buy hair repair products.
