You may have already asked yourself the question: what is the point of opting for a solid shampoo rather than a traditional soap to wash your hair? While the two may seem similar at first glance, their formulations and effects on the hair differ. Let's discover together the specificities of each.
Soap: an alkaline base
Traditional soap is obtained by saponifying a fatty substance with a strong base, such as caustic soda. This chemical reaction creates soap molecules that have the property of cleaning by capturing dirt. However, the pH of soap is generally alkaline, which can dry out the scalp and hair, especially if it is colored or weakened. In addition, soaps can leave a greasy film on the hair, requiring the use of a vinegar rinse to rebalance the pH.
Solid shampoo: a gentle and personalized formula
Solid shampoo, on the other hand, is designed specifically for washing hair. It is made from natural ingredients such as vegetable butters, essential oils and mild surfactants. These allow you to effectively clean your hair without damaging the scalp. The pH of a solid shampoo is generally neutral or slightly acidic, which respects the natural balance of the scalp.
What are the advantages of solid shampoos compared to soaps:
- A pH that is more respectful of the scalp: The acidic pH of solid shampoos helps to close the hair scales, making it shinier and more resistant.
- More personalized formulas: our solid shampoos are made with personalized formulas, designed to meet the specific needs of each hair type. Each ingredient is carefully selected to effectively treat common hair problems, such as dry hair, dandruff, hair loss or sensitive scalp.
- Better preservation of natural active ingredients: The natural ingredients used in solid shampoos are better preserved thanks to a simpler formula without chemical preservatives.
- Unmatched durability : Their compact size and concentrated formulation allow them to last up to twice as long as a classic liquid shampoo. It is the ideal investment to reduce your consumption and your impact on the environment.
- Reduced environmental impact: Solid shampoos are zero waste, biodegradable and often made from ingredients from organic farming.
