The Best Shampoo & Conditioner Bars For Curly Hair

The Benefits of Using Natural Shampoo and Conditioner Bars for Curly Hair

Curly hair is beautiful, unique, and requires special care to maintain its health and definition. One of the best ways to nurture your curls is by using natural shampoo and conditioner bars.

At Friendly Soap our natural shampoo and conditioner bars are curly-girl approved, meaning they're specially formulated to enhance and protect your natural curls without the harsh chemicals found in many traditional hair care products.

 

Why Choose Natural Shampoo Bars for Curly Hair?

Curly hair tends to be drier and more prone to frizz, making moisture retention essential. Our natural shampoo bars are made with rich essential oils that provide deep hydration and nourishment, helping to define and soften your curls. Free from harmful chemicals like SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) and parabens, our plastic-free shampoo bars cleanse your hair gently without stripping away its natural oils, leaving your curls healthy, bouncy, and full of life.

What to Expect When Switching to Natural Shampoo Bars

If you’ve never used a natural shampoo bar before, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure a smooth transition:

1. Hard Water: 

If you live in a hard water area, you may find that natural shampoo bars don’t lather as effectively as traditional shampoos. This is because natural shampoo bars are often soap-based and lack synthetic surfactants that create an artificial lather. While this may initially seem like a drawback, remember that natural shampoo bars are much better for both your hair and the environment. We still recommend giving them a try, as the benefits far outweigh the initial adjustment period. If you want to learn more about using our natural shampoo bars in hard water please read this blog

2. Adjustment Period: 

Transitioning to natural shampoo bars can require a few washes before your hair adjusts. Many mainstream hair products contain SLS, which strips your hair of its natural oils. When you switch to our natural shampoo bars, your hair may go through an adjustment period as it restores its natural oil balance. This process can take a few washes, but once complete, your hair will feel healthier and more vibrant than ever.

3. Why Our Shampoo Bars Are Perfect for Curly Hair

Curly hair thrives when it’s properly moisturised and cared for, and our plant-based shampoo bars are designed to do just that. They are made using vegan ingredients and are free from harsh chemicals. The essential oils in our eco haircare bars not only provide a natural fragrance but also deeply condition your curls, helping to reduce frizz and enhance definition.

Which Natural Shampoo Fragrance Is Best For Curly Hair?

We offer four delightful fragrance options for both our shampoo and conditioner bars:

Lavender and Tea Tree: Soothing and clarifying, perfect for a refreshing cleanse.

Lavender and Geranium: A calming blend that helps to balance and hydrate your hair.

Peppermint and Eucalyptus: Invigorating and cooling, great for stimulating the scalp.

Fragrance-Free: The ideal choice for those with sensitive skin and scalps.

Additional Curly Hair Care Tips

In addition to using natural shampoo and conditioner bars, here are a few more tips to keep your curls looking their best:

Avoid Over-Washing: Curly hair doesn’t need to be washed daily. Washing 2-3 times a week is usually sufficient to keep your hair clean without stripping it of moisture.

Use a Microfiber Towel: After washing, dry your hair with a microfiber towel or a cotton t-shirt instead of a regular towel. This helps to reduce frizz and breakage.

Finger Comb: Instead of using a brush, try finger-combing your curls when they’re wet. This minimises breakage and helps maintain your curl pattern.

Deep Condition Regularly: Curly hair loves moisture, so incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into your routine every couple of weeks.
