Nettle Shampoo & Body Bar

Natural Soap For Eczema

If you have common skin and hair problems such as the dry itchy scalp, acne, dry skin, greasy skin or dandruff, then you shouldn’t reach for your regular old shampoo and face wash, the next time you head into the bathroom—you need to be reaching for a natural nettle soap and nettle shampoo

Soaps can be returned back to their bags for storage, preventing bars from sitting in water will keep them from softening and dissolving. They can be hung up in a shower or put in a cupboard.

Nettle Skin Benefits

A natural soap bar made with nettle can make a world of difference to your skin. Nettle has natural astringent properties; astringents are great for treating skin issues such as greasy skin, dry, itchy, and inflamed skin due to insect bites, chickenpox, and even eczema.  If you’re looking to treat these types of conditions, look for a bar of soap made with nettle extract or oil that’s free from parabens and soaping agents such as SLSa.

Shampoo bars made with nettle and regular nettle shampoo have many benefits for your hair and scalp. The most noticeable benefit is the reduction of a dry, itchy scalp as well as dandruff. Regularly using nettle shampoo will make you forget you ever had to worry about flakes on your favorite shirt!

But nettle isn’t just good for treating your dry scalp: it can even help with hair loss.  In fact, nettle is one of the oldest recorded remedies used for treating and preventing hair loss. This is primarily due to the high amount of sulfur and silica in nettle, which improves hair health by strengthening the hair shaft.  Regularly using nettle shampoo can promote hair re-growth and reduce hair loss.

Nettle vs. Ordinary Skin and Hair Products

There are thousands upon thousands of skin and hair care products out there on the market today, and you may be wondering: why choose nettle over the countless other items found on store shelves?  The reason is simple: nettle has been proven to benefit the health and look of your skin and hair. There is a reason why it’s been a popular remedy for thousands of years, after all!

If you’re looking to transform your skin and hair, put down the ordinary bars of soap and set aside your standard conditioner, and pick up some nettle shampoo and nettle soaps for your next spa day. Just make sure that the products you’re using contain real nettle oil or extract, which will be listed in the ingredients.  Don’t wait—start transforming your skin and hair with nettle today!

Natural shampoo bars are easy to use! If you are new to shampoo bars, finding the right bar and using the best technique for your hair can help in a successful transition from synthetic shampoo to natural shampoo bars. Since natural shampoo bars are so gentle, it may take a while to remove all of the silicones and petroleum-based products used on your hair for years. If you do not lather and rinse really well, you will have areas that remain coated with the soap oils and synthetic shampoo residue, which will make your hair feel “gummy.” The simplest way to prevent this is to fully lather and rinse your hair multiple times!

Lakota Made's Shampoo & Body Bars are made without added preservatives or harmful chemicals, such as parabens, sulfates, formaldehyde, and synthetic fragrances. Our eco-friendly bars are also free of microplastics and plastic packaging, making them good for both your body and the environment!

How to use a Lakota Made Shampoo & Body Bar as a shampoo

1. First, make sure that your hair is thoroughly wet.
2. Gently rub the shampoo bar directly onto your hair from scalp to ends in a combing and/or circular motion. Continue to add water as you create the lather. (To prevent tangles, be sure to always work from the top down, don't pile your hair on your head, and use your fingers like a comb, not a mixer.)
3. Lather up your hair fully, then be sure to rinse, rinse, rinse!!! Especially if your hair is new to using a shampoo bar, you'll want to fully lather and rinse two or possibly three times.
4. The rinsing should take longer than the washing and lathering time. If your hair is long or thick, lift up sections of your hair to ensure that all of the shampoo bar residues are rinsed clean. Also, pay special attention to rinsing the middle back of your head and the nape of your neck, as these are common trouble spots.
