Rice Water Shampoo

Rice Water Shampoo

This unscented rice water shampoo bar is made with a blend of natural oils, with a lather boost and protein from rice.

Ingredients:  coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, soybean oil, water, sodium hydroxide, rice, kaolin clay.

This is made with the same base as our olive oil shampoos – lemon, rosemary & mint, vanilla.  So if any of those work for you, this one will too!

Weight: approx 80g

Directions: Wet hair thoroughly, rub the bar 2-3 times over top of your head, lather up so there are lots of bubbles, rinse VERY well and repeat if required. Very few people will need to use a conditioner post-wash.

Transition phase: When beginning to use soap as a shampoo it can take time for your hair to adjust due to residual chemicals from commercial shampoos. This transition phase can take anywhere from one to eight weeks as your hair adjusts and the natural oils balance out. It is normal to experience lank,  heavy, slightly greasy hair at first.  This WILL pass!  Using an acidic rinse of 1T of apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)  to 1c of warm water after washing can help. Personally, it took about a month until my hair felt normal again … but now I don’t even need a conditioner and my hair is soft and shiny.  Again, results will vary from person to person.
