This shampoo bar has changed my hair for the better!
I have been using this shampoo bar for several months and my hair has never been better.<br /><br />I have always had very oily roots, while my ends are dry and damaged. I never washed my hair daily, but i probably should have. If I washed it at night, it would be greasy the next morning. Dry shampoo did little to help, and only made my scalp itchy. I was also prone to dandruff and had to use a medicated shampoo every few weeks to keep it controlled.<br /><br />My hair has also been so dry and damaged that I could never grow it long. It grows incredibly slow, and if I colored it I pretty much ended up cutting it all off and starting over. It was frizzy and never looked good unless I used a straightener, which I tried not to do too often for fear of damaging it.<br /><br />This past spring I starting reading about NoPoo and  trying different ways to clean my hair to try to reduce oil production. I tried clay, water only, even baking soda (yikes). I tried a different shampoo bar first, and although my hair loved it, my scalp did not.<br /><br />I heard about this shampoo bar on a forum, and ordered it from Etsy (before it became available on Amazon).<br /><br />My hair went through an adjustment period where it had a strange, waxy texture, even though it looked great. I knew not to expect that squeaky-clean feeling and &#34;suffer&#34; through the adjustment. The waxiness came and went for a few weeks, and I actually stopped using conditioner to minimize the texture issues. That being said, the &#34;suffering&#34; was limited to how my hair felt when I touched it. It looked great throughout it all.<br /><br />I just ordered my 4th bar. Each one has lasted about 6-8 weeks. Even though I tried washing less often, I finally gave up on it. Although my hair looked much better on day 2 and 3 than it ever did before, I realized that washing it every other day with this will not do any harm and I love how it looks both those days.<br /><br />My scalp has improved a lot too. No more dandruff or itchiness. I actually went to the salon where the stylist used her expensive shampoo to wash my hair, and my scalp burned afterwards! That cemented my decision to stick to the bar.<br /><br />My hair is no longer frizzy, I can curl it with curlers and no heat or products, and it stays curled all day. My hair has also grown so much. It has grown more in the past 6 months than it has in the previous 3 years.<br /><br />My husband has a few spots on his scalp that has been bothering him for 2 months, and even though he used a topical antibiotic on it, they look worse than ever. He's usually very resistant to using my products, but I convinced him to try the bar last week and his scalp is completely healed now.<br /><br />In summary, this bar is amazing. Amazon does charge more for it than the etsy store, but with free prime shipping, the price is basically the same. I did place my last order through etsy because I bought 4 bars and shipping becomes more cost effective. Amazon does deliver it significantly faster though, and I was really excited when they started carrying it because I can get it quickly in a pinch.
