So, today I shall write about my experience with Beauty and the Bees - Rosemary & Mint shampoo bar . I bought this sample box a couple of months ago when I decided to start with my shampoo bar experiment. I wasted more than a sample in figuring out how to use a shampoo bar on my hair, the ACV mixture balance and other such details.
One thing I could say in general about the samples from Beauty and the Bees is that they make my hair look shiny, very shiny like I used gooseberry or fenugreek on my hair. I tried the Moroccan Mud shampoo bar initially and I was yet to nail down the way to use it. So the second bar I decided to try was Rosemary & Mint.
I like this bar, really like it. It made my hair shiny, as with the Moroccan Mud bar. Also, I noticed less hair fallout, less itching, hair did not feel dry, was soft and manageable and over all I was pretty happy with it.
This bars lathers very quickly and a lot too. Hair felt pretty clean after using this bar. and I got about 3 washes out of a sample bar of about 20g for my long hair. I use the soap on the lengths of my hair too because I oil it a little before shampooing. It gets the light oil out too. So yay! an overall winner for me!
I always thought mint was more for oily hair and may dry out my usually dry hair all the more. But I was pleasantly surprised to find it working fairly well for my hair type. I did try it out without any oil on my hair too. So the verdict stands!
About my hair routine, when I read that I should use less ACV, I translated it to being using a little of the mixture. Boy was that a mistake! It made my hair seem matted, quite poofy (I liked the volume, I admit) and I could not exactly get my hands through my hair. I decided to muster courage and pour a lot more of the mixture one day and my hair seemed a lot more straighter and manageable. That is when I corrected my interpretation and have been using about a third of a cup of 1:4 ACV mixture. So far, so good. I lather the shampoo bar typically in my palms and use the later on my hair and scalp. This seems to work better than rubbing the shampoo bar directly on my hair.
Up next, Chagrin Valley Babassu Marshmallow shampoo bar.
