CV Shampoo Bar- Babassu Marsh Mallow
About: Good For Normal to Dry Hair, Coarse Coily/Kinky Hair, Body & Bounce
A shampoo bar made with emollient-rich, deeply nourishing babassu oil with a warm citrus ginger scent. Recommended for thick coarsely textured hair, tightly coiled curly hair, or dry, over-processed hair.
Marshmallow is an incredibly moisturizing herb. To get the most benefit from the herb, CV mixes it with aloe vera and allows it to rest until they get a nutrient-rich mucilage, a slick gel, which is incorporated into their shampoo bar. Marsh mallow root soothes and hydrates the hair and scalp, helps ease scalp irritation, imparts volume and body, and adds slip to help reduce tangles for increased manageability. Moisturizing mango and shea butters soften and smooth hair to help fight frizz and flyaways. Babassu oil, a great hair care oil for thick or coarse curly hair, moisturizes and enhances hair strength and elasticity, for shiny, healthy-looking hair. Aloe helps condition, moisturize, and adds luster and manageability to their hair.
The earthy, warm, and sweet essential oil blend of ginger and citrus help restore body and shine and balance oil production. A Chinese folk remedy recommends rubbing ginger root on the scalp to stop hair loss

Use: This technique helps prevent pockets of shampoo residue in the length of your hair especially if you have long or thick hair.
Wet Hair- One of the most important steps is to begin with thoroughly wet hair--I mean a lot of water. Be sure that the water saturates your hair all the way down to the roots.
Create the Lather- There are two possible ways both of which help prevent pockets of shampoo residue left in your hair that can make hair feel tacky.
- Create a nice foamy lather by rubbing the wet bar between your hands, a soap pouch, or a natural sponge, and use only the lather to wash your scalp.
- Create a nice foamy lather by rubbing the shampoo bar on the TOP of your head only. Rub in only one direction to prevent tangling.
Massage the Lather into your Scalp only at the roots of the hair until you work up a really good lather
- It is very important to work the shampoo into your scalp with water and really build up a good lather so there are no patches of shampoo left on your hair.
- Lathering up also allows the dirt and extra oils to be washed away.
- If the lather is not foamy enough, add more water.
Using your Fingers like a Comb smooth the lather down the length of your hair as you rinse with water. To prevent tangles, be sure to always work from the top down, use your fingers like a comb, not a mixer, and don't pile your hair on your head,
Rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse and rinse again. I cannot stress how important this step is to shampoo bar success. In order to remove the excess shampoo, which can leave a filmy feeling and weigh hair down, do NOT rush this step! The rinsing should take longer than washing and lathering time.
- If your hair is long or thick, lift up sections of your hair to ensure that all of the shampoo is rinsed clean.
- Don’t neglect parts of your head that are more difficult to reach, such as the nape of your neck or the back of your head.
- Repeat if desired.
Teri’s Tip: Store your shampoo bar in a wire or bamboo rack, where air can surround it. Do not leave in stream of water. This will prolong the life of your bar, and make your money go further!
