Step-by-Step Guide to Using a Curly Hair Shampoo Bar

The key to a great wash with a shampoo bar for curly hair lies in the application. Follow these steps:

Wet Your Hair and the Bar: Start by thoroughly wetting your hair with warm water. Make sure it's completely soaked. Also, wet your shampoo bar to help it lather more easily.
Massage the Bar into Your Roots: Gently rub the wet shampoo bar directly onto your scalp. Focus on your roots and the areas where your hair tends to get oily. This massage action will help to loosen dirt and product buildup.
- Move the bar in small circular motions across different sections of your scalp.
- Don't worry about creating a full lather at this stage, just focus on distributing the product.
Put the Bar Down and Lather: Once you've applied the bar to your scalp, set it aside in a dry place. Use your hands to work the product into a lather. Add a little more water if needed to create a good foam.
- The lather should be distributed evenly throughout your hair.
- Be gentle and avoid excessive pulling or tugging on your curls.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your hair completely with warm water. Ensure that all shampoo is removed.
- Repeat if Needed: If your hair still feels oily or has a lot of product buildup, repeat steps 2-4.
Conditioner: After rinsing, follow with your preferred conditioner for curly hair to replenish moisture.

Storage: Keep your shampoo bar dry when not in use to prolong its life. A soap dish with drainage works well.
Lathering Techniques: Some users find it helpful to rub the bar between their wet hands to create a lather, then apply that to their hair, if applying the bar directly is too difficult.
Transitioning: It may take a few washes for your hair to adjust to a shampoo bar, especially if you’re switching from liquid shampoo. Be patient, and you'll likely see positive results over time.
