It is easier to use shampoo bars as long as you have the right products. Once you switch, you’ll never go back! Of course, since your hair type is curly that means you may need to use your shampoo twice weekly.

Averagely, it is recommended to shampoo your natural hair between two and four days. You can also shampoo it anytime you feel it gets extra greasy and limp. Set with your hair regimen? Here are a few expert-proven tips for learning how to use a solid shampoo.

Soak Your Hair Completely

You need to first create the perfect canvas for your product. That means wetting your hair. Ensure that no sections of your hair are dry before you can pick up your solid shampoo. This ensures you spread your product evenly through your locks.

Lather Your Solid Shampoo in Your Hands

After soaking your hair, wet your solid shampoo and rub it between your hands in several circular motions. You’ll be able to create a velvety lather. The product of these circular motions is ample product on your hands.

Apply Your Solid Shampoo Product to Your Hair

Once you get enough of the product on your hands, put the shampoo bar down. Apply the product to your hair directly with your hands. This provides you with slightly more control over its distribution. Massage enough amount of the product into your scalp and hair, ensuring it is well distributed.

Always remember behind your ears and neck’s nape. A shampoo bar is more concentrated, meaning if you apply it directly, you may easily end up coating your curly hair with more shampoo product than you require.

Rinse with Warm Water

Have you massaged your shampoo through the hair? It is the perfect time to rinse. Thoroughly rinse your hair to eradicate any excess product. Once it dries, your leftover shampoo product can easily weigh down your curly hair. Ensure that all the shampoo product has been eradicated from your hair.

You can now use your solid shampoo without getting into a greasy mess, thanks to these expert-proven tips. It’s also recommended to use a solid conditioner after your shampoo. This will help you get the best outcome for your hair.
