How to Choose the Perfect Solid Shampoo for Your Hair Type 🌿

To choose a solid shampoo, start from your hair type and your scalp: a gentle formula for normal hair, a purifying one for oily hair, a nourishing one for dry hair, and a targeted one for dandruff or hair loss. This guide helps you recognise your hair type, then presents our concentrated solid shampoos and their ingredients, so you can make the right choice.

What is my hair type?

Knowing your hair type is the first step in choosing the most suitable solid shampoo:

• Normal hair: balanced sebum, neither too oily nor too dry.
• Oily hair: tends to produce excess sebum, roots get greasy quickly.
• Dry hair: lacks moisture and is often brittle.
• Coloured or treated hair: needs gentle, nourishing care to preserve colour and hair health.
• Flaky scalp: visible flakes, itching.
• Hair loss: more hair lost than usual, hair getting thinner.

A useful tip: choose your shampoo first according to your scalp, because that is what you are washing. If your roots are oily but your lengths are dry, go for a purifying formula and care for the lengths with a solid conditioner with silk protein.

Which solid shampoo for normal hair?

Our solid shampoo for normal hair suits all hair types, including coloured hair and sensitive scalps. It is perfect for active people who wash their hair often.

Its ingredients and their benefits:

• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI): a sulfate-free surfactant derived from coconut oil, for supple, shiny hair.
• Glycerin: reduces breakage.
• Mango butter: helps control frizz, adds volume and shine.
• Castor oil: strengthens hair.
• Argan oil: helps prevent split ends, leaves hair soft and shiny.
• D-panthenol: hydrates and strengthens hair.
• Sidr leaf powder: restores volume and radiance, and soothes the scalp.

Its gentle surfactants remove impurities without irritating the scalp, leaving hair clean and fresh. Castor and argan oils strengthen hair from root to tip. Mango butter hydrates and strengthens the fibre, while sidr powder brings volume and radiance and soothes irritated scalps.

Which solid shampoo for oily hair?

Our purifying solid shampoo is made for oily hair and for anyone who wants to space out their washes. It helps regulate sebum and removes impurities.

Its ingredients and their benefits:

• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI): cleanses gently, sulfate-free.
• Glycerin: a natural moisturiser.
• Mango butter: nourishes hair and helps control frizz.
• Castor oil: strengthens hair.
• Argan oil: nourishes and protects against split ends.
• D-panthenol: hydrates and strengthens hair.
• Rhassoul: a clay that regulates sebum and cleanses in depth.

Its sulfate-free, plant-based formula removes built-up impurities without irritating the scalp. Rhassoul helps restore the scalp's balance by regulating sebum, and adds volume. Rich in minerals, the formula nourishes the fibre and leaves hair soft and shiny.

Which solid shampoo for dry hair?

Our nourishing solid shampoo is ideal for dry, dehydrated hair. It nourishes deeply and repairs damaged hair.

Its ingredients and their benefits:

• Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate (SCI): cleanses gently.
• Coconut oil: nourishes and protects intensely.
• Shea butter: deeply hydrates and softens hair.
• Glycerin: maintains hydration.
• D-panthenol: repairs and hydrates dry hair.

Its sulfate-free formula, made with plant ingredients, cleanses delicately without irritating a dry scalp. Shea butter nourishes and repairs the fibre, and the combination of coconut oil and D-panthenol protects hair from external stressors, reducing the risk of breakage.

Which solid shampoo for dandruff?

Our anti-dandruff solid shampoo combines shikakai, mango, glycerin and D-panthenol. Its cleansing and antifungal properties help remove dandruff and prevent it from coming back, and its soothing plant extracts relieve itching. If dandruff persists or comes with redness, see a dermatologist.

Which solid shampoo for hair loss?

Our anti-hair loss solid shampoo combines amla, castor oil, argan, provitamin B5 and plant glycerin. It nourishes the scalp, strengthens the roots and reduces breakage. However, significant hair loss, or hair loss that lasts more than a few months, deserves a dermatologist's opinion: a shampoo supports, it does not replace a check-up.

How to use and store your solid shampoo

Wet your hair and the shampoo thoroughly, glide it over your hair or lather it between your hands, massage your scalp, then rinse. Then let it dry out of the water so it lasts longer. All the details are in how to use your solid shampoo properly, and the reasons to switch to solid in the benefits of solid shampoo.

In short

• Normal or coloured hair, or a sensitive scalp: solid shampoo for normal hair.
• Oily hair: purifying solid shampoo with rhassoul.
