Shampoo bars are free from sulfates, synthetic preservatives, and the fillers that make up most of a liquid shampoo's volume. Without those stripping agents, your scalp can regulate its natural oil production more effectively — meaning less greasiness over time, not more.

Wet your hair thoroughly, then either rub the bar directly onto your scalp or lather it between your palms first. Massage into your scalp using circular motions, work through the lengths, and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a conditioner bar or ACV rinse if needed.

One bar typically lasts 50–80 washes — the equivalent of 2–3 bottles of liquid shampoo. To maximize its life, store it on a draining soap dish between uses and keep it dry. Never let it sit in standing water.

The Clarify Shampoo Bar is completely sulfate-free, so it cleanses without lifting the cuticle — meaning your color stays truer, longer. Safe for color-treated, highlighted, and chemically processed hair.
