Cold-processed shampoo bars are usually homemade and may contain higher pH levels than other shampoo bars which make them the perfect shampoo bar for conditioning damaged hair.
Solid surfactants shampoo bars are ideal to be used with hard water and they are great for removing any dirt build up in the hair. These shampoo bars generally contain essential oils that are fantastic at keeping your hair soft, shiny and clean.

There are even solid shampoo bars that help in regrowing hair like Three Hills Soap’s Solid Shampoo Maca. And for oily hair, we highly recommend Janni bars. This shampoo bar does a good job at absorbing sebum from the hair while nourishing the scalp.
