Rosemary Citrus Shampoo Gets a Thumbs Up

Amy, over at Great Cakes Soapworks posted her review of the Tierra Verde Shampoo Round-you must pop by and read it. There is quite the humorous story associated with a hair appointment and the shampoo round. lol!

Rosemary Citrus Shampoo Round $5.00

Also, note that Amy uses a bit of commercial conditioner after using her shampoo round. Her hair is color treated and mine is not. I am not sure if this is the factor or the difference in water. She has soft water, we have hard water here in Lubbock. I find that an Apple Cider Vinegar rinse (I have adjusted my rinse out to about 1 part ACV to 3 parts water in a plastic squeeze bottle to use in the shower)works really well for me. My hair is every bit as manageable and quite shiny with this process. I have been using shampoo bars since April of this year, and am totally sold on them-they are easy to use, less packaging, they travel well, I get prolific lather and clean shiny hair. Love them!

Now Listed-Rosemary Citrus Shampoo Rounds

Rosemary Citrus Shampoo Round-3.75 oz. $5.00

Rosemary Citrus Shampoo Round-Featuring wholesome ingredients that simply clean and nourish your hair. This solid shampoo is a special blend of oils infused with Chamomile and scented with the refreshingly clean scent of Rosemary Citrus.

We recommend a vinegar rinse to go along with the use of your Rosemary Citrus Shampoo Round -the recommended rate of water to vinegar is 1/3 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar to 1 quart of water. You can then store this mixture in a plastic bottle and keep it in the shower ready for use. I keep my vinegar rinse in a plastic squeeze bottle purchased at the dollar store and find it is perfectly easy to use. I apply the vinegar rinse each time I shampoo and rinse completely (or if you prefer) you can use a rinse only a couple of times a week to keep your scalp pH balanced.People often ask,"does your hair smell like a pickle or salad?" and the answer is "no,once your hair dries you will not smell the vinegar."

New to solid shampoo? You may find that you hair needs an adjustment period. Don't give up after 2 or 3 days-the switch from commercial to handmade takes a bit of time.

Why use a solid shampoo?

Packaging is minimal and ingredients are simple and wholesome.

Rosemary Citrus Shampoo rounds contain only natural ingredients.

Solid shampoo is very convenient for travel, camping, or the gym.

Solid shampoo is completely bio-degradable and earth friendly.
