Ecoelephant Artisanal Coffee & Cocoa Shampoo Bar

Description A divine smelling, foamy shampoo bar to moisturise and revitalise your hair, without the plastic container! Besides the alluring scent (it’s an aphrodisiac, okay!), cocoa has many benefits for hair, being rich in anti-oxidants, fatty acids, vitamins and iron. It nourishes the scalp and hair shafts, locks in moisture in the strands, resulting in stronger, healthier hair. The coffee grounds also offer a range of benefits – the high caffeine content helps to stimulate hair follicles, promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. This bar is suitable for all hair types, but especially thin hair can benefit from the volumising effects, and grey hair can benefit from the subtle, natural brown dye effects. Note that as with all saponified bars, this is a mildly alkaline shampoo, meaning that after washing your hair, you should rinse with something acidic, like a dash of lemon juice or vinegar, to pH balance the alkalinity. It works wonderfully! While there are shampoo bars available that are not saponified and formulated to be pH balanced, these bars are typically made with synthetically derived ingredients to solidify and balance it, and it is typically more costly. Why use a shampoo bar instead of shampoo liquid? Because a bar needs zero packaging… therefore zero-waste! It is also much easier to travel with, as there is no potential spillage and no nonsense at the airport. Made in SA: Proudly handmade in South Africa. Directions for use: Apply shampoo to wet hair and lather using your fingertips. Massage well over the hair and scalp. Rinse hair thoroughly with clean water. Rinse with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice as a conditioner, if desired – this will impart extra lustre and pH balance hair and scalp, thus preventing drying out.
