A Joyful Shampoo Interview -Part 2

"Pooh Bar" Honey-Beer Shampoo Bar

Thanks again to Leslie at Joyful Soaps for including me in her Shampoo Bar Q & A blog posts. (Along with my friend and Master Soaper Amy Warden from Great Cakes Soapworks) 

I hope that the posts educate readers and encourage them to order a shampoo bar from their favorite soaper and give it a try!

Natural Shampoo Bar: 2 WEEKS -I made it!

I have been "shampoo bar blogging", jumping on the bandwagon after bing inspired by Amy at Great Cakes Soapworks for 2 weeks now, and (although I almost gave in a couple of times) remain "conditioner free"!  I ended up cutting WAY back on the vinegar in my vinegar/water rinse....I would say it's down to maybe 1 part organic apple cider vinegar to 15 parts water.

I still miss that nasty silicone "slip" -I guess old habits die hard, but I, like Amy, have noticed more softness and shine in my hair -amazing!  (especially when you consider that my hair is VERY chemically treatedr, and that what I'm using is just one of my all natural soap bars!) 

I am going to be making a natural detangler as soon as I get the ingredients, and if it works I will post the recipe.

Is it worth the effort?  I think it is. 

Why?  Well, the answer to that lies on the backside of my old shampoo & conditioner bottles.  You may want to take a peek at the stuff that's in what you currently use -yikes!  It has become pretty common knowledge that much of what we but on our skin ends up in our bodies -yikes again! 

 I certainly don't want to expose my son to all that unnecessary stuff. 

Sooo, the bottom line?  The shampoo and conditioner marketing folks have done a wonderful job in the past of convincing me that I need their products or I will turn into a straw-headed troll!  Evidently they are WRONG (very good at their jobs, but wrong all the same)

 I'm an official Natural Shampoo Bar Convert! :D
