How to use: Hair Soap Bars
There are different approaches about the “how to” in groups of confessed “hair soap lovers”. Simply choose the method which fits your needs. The result won’t be influenced by this.
The first group of people simply takes the soap bar and rubs it directly on the wet hair until it foams enough. Then you just need to spread all the foam on your hairline, the lengths, and tips, and give the scalp a soft massage.
Other users are enthusiastic about a soap peeling bag which facilitates the process of foam building. The soap inside the bag, rub it all in your hands for some time. Afterwards bring the bag to your hair and proceed to rub it.
In both cases, the hair should stay foamed for some seconds, then afterwards be rinsed out thoroughly. In some regions this may last a bit longer than with shampoo.
Speaking of:
ESPECIALLY IN REGIONS WITH HARD WATER: USE A “SOUR RINSE”!
When you live in a region of hard water, we recommend pouring a so called “sour rinse” over your hair after cleansing. Just add 1–2 tablespoons of apple vinegar or lemon juice to a litre of lukewarm or cold water as a preparation. Right after you have rinsed out the foam from your hair, you give this mixture onto the hair, no need to rinse it out again. And don’t worry, as soon as your hair is dry, the vinegar smell has vanished.
The reason for its usefulness is that the lime in the tap water would otherwise react with the soap and so-called lime soap would be the result. This can make the hair look dull and even let it be greasy afterwards. Furthermore, the vinegar water mixture has very good conditioning qualities and brings gloss to the hair which can also be easily combed.
What should I keep in mind when I dye my hair?
Usually, there is no problem to switch to hair cleansing soaps when you dye your hair. But since there are numerous hair dyes in the world, we don’t want to guarantee that everything will be fine with our FAIR SQUARED hair cleansing soaps. To check that, please contact your hairdresser and ask them about basic pH value hair care products and your specific dye.
I often go swimming; can I still use the hair soap bars?
We personally have never come across any problems with chlorine in swimming pools. Therefore, you and your hobby should not get into conflict with the usage of hair soaps.
I tend to have an itching, quite sensitive scalp; can I use the soap bars?
If that is something you are dealing with at the moment, we recommend you try hair soaps instead. Often, itchy spots and a non-balanced production of sebum can be effects of irritating surfactants in your shampoo. We personally know people who have chosen to switch just because of this and are now absolutely content. So why not just give it a try?
