Soulflower Sandalwood Geranium Shampoo Bar Review

By Supriya


Hello ladies,
Ok, those of you have dry, rough hair raise your hands? And now those who are suffering from hair fall and hair thinning, raise your hands? Ahh... I know many hands will be raised. All hair problems in one, and you can take the perfect example of my hair. Dry, thin, dull and breakage. Consulted dermats, hair specialists, ayurvedic doctors, gobbled down medicines like food for months and applied all the tinctures and connotations, but the hair quality won't budge to improve.
             I was so irritated and bugged up with comments from relatives about the deteriorating quality of my hair and the hair thinning that showed up my scalp from a distance. In desperate need of some quick fix, I started searching the internet, found many waste as well as useful tips. In my quest, I came to know the harmful chemicals in our shampoos and conditioners that lead to hair fall and hair thinning and came across some organic brands for my hair.
        I know you are bored to death by my story and to quickly come to the point, today I am going to review one miracle of a product for hair, which I discovered (!) in my search – Soulflower Sandalwood Geranium Shampoo Bar. Soulflower shampoo bars remind me of those old shikakai bars that my grandmother (maternal) used to use on her hair. She had a thick long mane. After doing some research, I bought two soap bars from Soulflower.

My Experience with Soulflower Sandalwood Geranium Shampoo Bar:


To put in very plain and simple... I love it. The shampoo bar has come as a savior for me. It cleanses well, the oils keep my hair from drying too much and about hair fall... it has drastically reduced. I am floored by this 100% vegan shampoo. The bar is red in color; though don't confuse it for emitting any rose aroma. I am completely flattered by the exotic natural ingredients of the soap. It’s very easy to apply. All you have to do is, rub the soap directly on your scalp or you can even lather it on your palms and apply. Doesn't tangle hair and leaves the hair with good volume. Also my hair fall has reduced. The soap lathers very well and I have generally not felt the usage of double application unless I have oiled my hair pre-wash.

The bar claims to be safe for chemically treated hair, colored, children's hair. This is free from all the chemicals namely SLS, SLES, parabens etc. I now very carefully read ingredient list before buying any product for my hair.


Since the bar is huge, I cut it into three pieces (recommended) for ease of use and to avoid wastage of product. I have completed using the bar and it lasted me for good three months with twice a week application.


Pros of Sandalwood Geranium Shampoo Bar:

  • Aroma of the shampoo bar
  • Lathers and cleans very well
  • Does not require much quantity, even for oiled hair
  • Will last easily for a long time
  • The exotic list of ingredients
  • Free from SLS/SLES and parabens


Cons of Sandalwood Geranium Shampoo Bar:


  • Could not find any but only if they could lower their prices a bit, I would buy this in bulk! (hehe)
 

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 4.75/5 (-0.25 for the price, though not an issue with me!)


My Recommendation: Go grab it girls :)


Would I Repurchase Soulflower Sandalwood Geranium Shampoo Bar?: I will be buying this as long as the company keeps making it. I love and love this shampoo bar!

Have you tried the Soulflower Sandalwood Geranium Shampoo Bar?

Hair Care. About shampoos. Wash the head. Shine and strength of healthy hair.

 Hair should be washed to the extent of contamination. Before washing the head, comb your hair is desirable.Wash your hair - always boiled or filtered water, ie soft. Water softener in the home it can boil and allow to stand for 5-6 hours, or just defend. Can a 2 liter of water add 1 teaspoon of baking soda or a few drops of ammonia.


 Pick a shampoo for hair type, and preferably soft. To find suitable shampoo or not, do this test: Mix in a glass of water with the shampoo and allow the mixture to settle. If you see a curdy precipitate - to use this shampoo is not necessary. This is difficult to wash the shampoo from the hair and can be a problem: seborrhea, dandruff, itching.

 Change is often the shampoo is not necessarily important to choose the right depending on the needs of hair and scalp.For long hair shampoo is better to have two: one for oily hair, which wash the scalp and hair at the base, and the other for dry - wash the entire length of the hair. You also need to use two balms conditioner. Now there is a shampoo for the mixed structure of hair, which is used for skin and hair. It should not be a long time to wash my hair from the hair of the degreased and lose its luster.
 Rinse your hair it is necessary. You can use special balms, conditioners. And you can acidified water with vinegar, preferably apple or grape. The acidified water is used to neutralize the residual alkali on the hair. If the water is hard, then rinse hair with vinegar is absolutely necessary: ​​a tablespoon of 6% vinegar in a bucket of water.


 Dark hair shine from acetic rinse.   Do not believe the inscriptions on shampoos such as "suitable for everyday use." Wash your hair should be two to three times a week. Not more. Otherwise you can damage the hair.   The frequency of shampooing has no effect on hair loss, of course, if properly selected shampoo and you do not comb wet hair. Man loses a day from 50 to 100 hairs regardless of whether or not they are washed.   It is useful to 1-2 times a month instead of shampoo to use sour milk.

 They generously greased hair and rubbed into the skin, and an hour later wash thoroughly with warm water. With frequent shampooing shampoo is applied only once. Hold for thirty seconds and then shampoo wash hair. Well-washed hair "squeak." Do not wash your hair with too hot water. The water temperature should not exceed 50 ° C. Follow the exact dose and expose the air conditioner on your hair the specified time, if you want to get the desired effect. Rinse your hair as long as possible, shampoo, rinse under hot running water for about a minute, and spend as much time on the flushing of the air conditioner.
 Each time, use only a clean towel. Wipe washed hair preferably a hot towel. Dry at room temperature - not the sun, not over the fire, and preferably without a hair dryer. During the drying of the hair do not rub strongly towel wrap your head in a turban and soft movements promakivayuschimi dry hair and then remove the towel. It is advisable to dry the hair naturally in the air - no hair dryer.
 Do the shampoos "brilliance and strength of healthy hair"?Many shampoos promise us "brilliance and strength of healthy hair." The action of the majority of shampoos based on the fact that they form on the surface of the hair thin film. As a result, the hair at the time become thicker, softer and beautifully shiny.But the health ... By advertising of expensive imported shampoos and other "miracle" of hair care products should be treated with caution. For example, one popular American hormonal agent for women at first sight really slows down hair loss, but at the same time only enhances hormonal imbalance. It turns out that it does not cure, and "encourages" the disease, temporarily masking it.
As for shampoos with provitamins, the experts point out that for one type of hair they are useful, but for another - are dangerous. So before you apply, you should consult with your doctor. Dandruff shampoos can help with menthol? Thought so for a long time, but in 1990 the Agency for Food and Drug Administration issued a U.S. document that listed the 223 useless components that are widely used in medicines and cosmetics. Among the substances effective against dandruff, and was menthol. In addition to menthol, the "black list" were boric acid, allantoin, evkalip-thick, juniper and pine resin, methyl salicylate, phenol, povidone-iodine, sodium salicylate, thymol, and many other lesser-known components of the shampoo.
 But do not think that these substances are very very useless. The same menthol is used widely today, being a part of medicine, candy, cosmetics. Justified and its application in a number of shampoos, where he was assigned the role of money is not anti-dandruff and refreshing the component. But the main enemy of anti-dandruff shampoos in the current zinc pyrithione is.

Weekend Fun Giveaway July Week 2 Giveaway Entry #3

Hello all. Now who hasn’t dealt with some amount of hair fall? We all have at some point or the other and because of that also have tried a gazillion products and home remedies and what not. Those who have dealt with hair fall will understand what I am talking about. 
        We women have to go through so much *sigh*. Anyway coming back on track I recently tried a new product New Clear Women Shampoo Anti-Dandruff/Anti Hair Fall. Now we all are familiar with the brand ‘Clear’. This shampoo is from their new diversified range for men and women and basically targets hair fall and dandruff as we all know Clear’s main arena is anti dandruff products. I won’t say extra ordinary or as the pack says 98% less hair fall.



Price & Quantity:
RS.220 for a 400 ml bottle.


Packaging: This product is packed in a off white coloured bottle with a comfortable flip type cap.

Usage Directions:
Use like any shampoo taking a dollop in your palm and rubbing it in wet hair forming foam.

Pros:
  • It has been about 10 days that I have been using this product and I find it fine.
  • It smells great and has considerably reduced hair fall up to a good extent
  • The packaging can be handled easily and looks fine.

Cons:
  • They makes claim it contains vitamins and mineral nutrients. Honestly, I haven’t felt it much. 
  • It just leaves the hair a bit dry therefore, conditioning becomes very very necessary. The product doesn’t come with its own conditioner therefore selecting a conditioner after use is another hassle.

Rating: All in all I give this product a 3.5 on a scale of 5 if measured
