Make Your Own Shampoo Bars

Care for your hair with quality ingredients

Shampoo bars are big news and it's easy to see why.  There's no waste (or plastic), simple to make and use and they are more concentrated than traditional shampoos so they last much longer.  In fact, this kit is equivalent to 3-4 bottles of liquid shampoo!

Perfect for all the family, especially if your home has more than one bathroom and for travelling.  

Our shampoo bar kit includes hair-loving ingredients, suitable for all hair types: 

Shea butter moisturizes hair and scalp, reduces scalp irritation and helps prevent breakage.  Citronella oil prevents dandruff, removes head lice and is excellent for general hair health.  Rosemary essential oil promotes hair growth and helps a dry or itchy scalp. Calendula helps remove dandruff and hydrates a dry scalp. 

Most store-bought shampoos strip your hair of its natural oils so the almond oil will strengthen damaged hair and adds shine. 

The absence of lye in this craft kit means it is safe for children to make too.

• 150g shea butter shampoo base (5% shea butter, lathers well)
