Can I use the shower gel for my hair?

 Can I use the shower gel for my hair?

In a word…maybe

This is a soap gel, and soap removes coloring from hair. If you like your hair tinted or colored don’t use it.

If you wash your hair everyday soap based shower gel may not work for you unless you also use a conditioner of some kind. A vinegar or lemon juice rinse might work for your hair, but you will have to experiment. Some people need more moisture (oils) added than others. And that is what it comes down to. For those of us that want a nontoxic hair cleaner we must experiment. Here are some tips:

For thin, thinning hair use the Shea Butter Bar. This works without conditioners for thin hair.

Thick, curly hair has more difficulty with soap based cleaners.

Unscented soap products work better long term than products containing essential oils.

We have had reports that many Japanese women enjoy washing their hair with our shower gel. However they may use additional hair treatment such as the traditional oil comb (tsuge).

There are three types of bonds that make up hair. Three to the third power makes twenty seven possible bond combinations. That’s a lot of different types of hair! Soap products do not work for everyone all the time. But if you experiment you can probably come up with a nontoxic system that works for you.

All the Best,

Soapman
