Alter/Native Shampoo Bar Patchouli & Sandalwood - 90g

The Alternative by Suma shampoo bar is a natural, solid hair care product designed for those seeking an effective, plastic-free alternative to bottled shampoos. This concentrated bar is formulated to cleanse the hair and scalp while providing the rich, grounding aromas of patchouli and sandalwood. It is crafted to be gentle on your hair and the environment, making it a sustainable choice for your daily routine.

How to Use

To get the best results and ensure your bar lasts as long as possible:

1. Wet: Thoroughly wet both your hair and the shampoo bar.

2. Lather: Rub the bar directly onto your wet hair or rub it between your hands to generate a rich lather.

3. Massage: Massage the lather into your scalp and through the lengths of your hair.

4. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all product is removed.

5. Conditioning: If your hair requires extra moisture, follow with your preferred natural conditioner or a light leave-in treatment.

6. Storage: Store the bar in a well-draining soap dish, keeping it out of standing water. Allowing it to air dry between uses significantly increases the lifespan of the bar.

Key Features & Benefits

• Natural Ingredients: Formulated with vegetable-based glycerine to help lock in moisture while cleansing.

Important Considerations

• Adjustment Phase: When switching from conventional liquid shampoos containing synthetic detergents, your hair may take a few washes to adjust as it clears away past silicone buildup.

• Hard Water: In hard-water areas, natural bars can sometimes feel less effective. Using a diluted apple cider vinegar rinse after washing can help balance the pH of your hair and scalp, leaving your hair feeling soft and manageable.

• Sensitive Skin: While formulated to be gentle, if you have highly sensitive skin, it is recommended to perform a small patch test before full use.
