The formula for this incredible and unique bar of shampoo was discovered loosely placed in and old New England Cookbook many years ago by J.R.LIGGETT. Its 100% vegetable oil formulation lathers quickly, cleans well, and rinses out and easily, leaving you with healthy, beautiful, and clean hair. It will not strip the natural oils from your hair (there are no detergents) for this reason most people do not need a conditioner! It just smells clean. One bar equals 20 ounces of liquid shampoo. For a natural conditioning rinse for shiny, tangle - free hair see below! Availability: Usually ships in 3-4 business days. jrligbarsham$6.00 Make your own Herbal Hair Rinse! When I was a little girl my mother used to rinse my hair, after shampooing, with a cider vinegar solution. It was much later that I learned this added shine and prevented tangles. When we began making soap and shampoo bars we were reintroduced to vinegar or lemon juice in acidulated rinses. At that time we began making herbal rinse formulas with special properties. By itself a cider vinegar rinse leaves hair soft and shiny, helps de-tangle, and can aid in preventng dandruff. It, as do all acidulated rinses, helps remove oils and soap residue and restores a healthy acidic pH to the hair. You can add the benefits of herbs to these rinses by making a strong infusion with them. The traditional properties of herbs particularly helpful to hair are: Nettle (urtica dioica)- nourishing and stimulating to the scalp. Rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis)- conditioning, darkening at larger quantities. Thyme (Thymus Vulgaris)- stimulating to the scalp and equalizing to oily skin, helps prevent dandruff. Sage (salvia officinalis)- purifying, cleansing and conditioning, enhances brunette hair. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla)- to brighten and enhace shine, especially in blonde hair. To make a herbal hair rinse, use at least 1/2 c. herbs for 2 cups of vinegar. Steep together in a jar without heating for at least 2 weeks, then strain and store in a dark glass bottle or dark place. Use by adding 2 Tablespoons of the vinegar rinse in 1 cup of warm water and massaging into scalp after shampooing. For best effect do not rinse out. Shipping Information - see Information page.
