How to use a solid shampoo?

For those who have always used liquid shampoos, it may seem confusing at first, but it’s very simple!

Wet the hair and pass the shampoo over it until the desired foam is obtained. And belive, it really makes foam! The product is concentrated, so light passes are sufficient. Massage the scalp and remove with plenty of water. Enjoy the experience and do not open your eyes during the procedure!

How do you keep a solid shampoo?

Between washings, the shampoo should be kept in a dry, airy location for maximum durability. Avoid applying it in your hair under the shower, with running water, as this will dissolve faster. Never leave the shampoo in a soap dish with water. In case you take it to the gym or for travelling, keep it in a box between uses.
