Coconut Shea Shampoo Bar
Of all the Obia products, I was the most reluctant to try this one out. I hadn’t really hopped on board with the whole “shampoo bar” craze, so I didn’t quite understand why this little bar was kind of a big deal.
Description:
This rich moisturizing shampoo will leave your hair soft, conditioned, and hydrated. Shea butter deeply moisturizes and repairs damage to hair and scalp, while coconut oil protects hair from heat and chemical damage.
Top Ingredients 411:
- Saponified Oils:When we talk about soap or shampoo bars, the term “saponified” often comes into play. Anything saponified is done with Sodium Hydroxide, also known as lye. But that’s not an issue at all! In fact, it has little to no impact on your hair. Click here to learn about that. Coconut is the amazing moisturizing, hair-penetrating oil (almost”> every natural knows and loves. Castor is an emollient and humectant oil, touted as a treatment for thinning hair, hair loss, dry, and itchy scalp. It has anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. Palm and Safflower Oils contain significant amounts of Omegas 9 and 6, respectively which support softening and elasticity in hair.
- Shea Butter: Emollient fat from the nut of the East or West African shea nut tree used to moisturize and soften hair.
- Vegetable Glycerin: Vegetable-based humectant that absorbs and retains moisture from the air.
- Rosemary Essential Oil: Concentrated oil that is great for stimulating blood circulation on the scalp, promoting nourishment and growth. It is also has antibacterial properties, and can help relieve dry, flaky, and irritated scalp.
Performance:
I kid you not, the second I rubbed this poo bar against my wet hair, I invoked the spirit of Flavor Flav. Yes, I stood in the shower and said “wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww” at least twenty times. I expected a shampoo bar to stick to my hair, and it didn’t. I expected a shampoo bar to strip my hair, and it didn’t. I didn’t expect a shampoo bar to have that much slip…enough to thoroughly detangle my hair. And it did. This shampoo bar completely and utterly shattered every preconceived notion I ever had about shampoo bars and what they’re supposed to do. Instead, this bar has set the standard for what I expect from others. If you think I’m exaggerating, let me inform you that I’ve already ordered 2 more of these, plus one Neem and Tea Tree (to see if the goodness + scalp healing properties work just as well”>. The shampoo bar cleansed my hair and scalp without stripping them, made detangling a breeze, smells like a DREAM, and is just all-around amazing. I. Will. NEVER. Buy. Another. Shampoo. Again. Maybe. Because well, I’m a PJ. But when I tell you this is my new cleaning staple, I mean it.
