The beer shampoo bar is perfect for normal to thin hair. The special formula of organic oils, beer, and Rhassoul clay give your hair an extra lift and a healthy appearance. The combination of essential oils such as Ylang Ylang and Cedar also gives the solid shampoo a wonderful mild spicy scent.
MAGICAL (CIRCULAR & UPCYCLED) INGREDIENT: BEER
"Each Nature Bar soap and shampoo bar has a locally sourced rescued ingredient as its core ingredient. For example, we work together with local Amsterdam entrepreneurs on a circular economy. And together we combat waste. In this solid shampoo, Nature Bar processes the brewer's grains that are leftover from the brewery process of Brouwerij Troost, a local beer brewery in Amsterdam."
Beer is often brewed with malt and barley. Malt provides a lot of volume and barely strengthens hair and prevents hair breakage. The natural shampoo bar is therefore a top choice for thin and lifeless hair that could use some extra volume.
REGULAR SHAMPOO VS. NATURAL SHAMPOO
If you used to wash your hair with regular shampoo in the past, you may not be immediately satisfied with the natural alternative after the first wash. This is because your hair has become accustomed to silicones that are present in regular shampoos. Silicones put a layer over your hair, making it feel smooth and shiny, but at the same time, it closes your hair and has no chance to breathe. Natural hair soap washes this silicone from your hair and before it has completely disappeared your hair can feel greasy. Therefore, give your hair and scalp a chance to “kick off” from regular shampoo for two weeks and ensure that it can regain its natural function. After this, your hair will look healthy, full, and radiant! If you are still not convinced after two weeks, you can still use it as body soap because it contains many delicious and nourishing ingredients for the skin.
A great way to help you along is making your own ACV Hair Rinse, which gently cleanses the scalp and conditions your hair. It removes build-up and impurities from the hair, increases softness and shine, and restores the natural pH balance of your scalp.
HOW TO USE
When you first use a natural shampoo bar, your hair may feel oily at first. Give it some time! Your scalp has to get used to the mild natural form of cleaning. After a number of washes, the PH value of your scalp and hair neutralizes and you will notice that you get visible volume.
The use of a solid shampoo and a liquid shampoo from a bottle is not very different. Yet many people are unsure about it, so you can read in the article “using a shampoo bar” exactly how you can best do this.

FAQ
- What is a shampoo bar? A shampoo bar is a concentrated shampoo without any water. It's a waterless and plastic-free alternative to plastic bottles of shampoo. Each shampoo bar is 100% vegan and made from a combination of different ingredients such as cacao or shea butter and oils from various plant products, such as almond, avocado, and coconut oil. Our shampoo bars are handmade in the Netherlands by small and sustainable makers.

- Is a shampoo bar good for your hair? A shampoo bar can be just as good for your hair as a liquid shampoo. We try to source shampoo bars that usually consist of natural and nourishing ingredients. We try to avoid ingredients such as parabens, preservatives, silicones, and phthalates.
- How to use a shampoo bar? Rub your shampoo bar between your hands until it foams (our shampoo bars foam super fast!) Then massage the foam into your hair. Or rub the shampoo on hair in circular motions until there's enough foam. Rinse the shampoo well from your hair.
- How long does a shampoo bar last? A shampoo bar is equal to 2 or 3 liquid bottles of shampoo. Depending on the size of the shampoo bar you wash between 40 - 60 times. Depending on how often you wash your hair it can last you a few months or longer.
- How to store your shampoo bar? After use, let the shampoo bar dry well on a soap holder, allowing it to drain and dry between each use. This prolongs the lifetime of your shampoo bar
