SHAMPOO BAR - FOR NORMAL, DRY, OILY HAIR

On cosmetics packaging we often see suggestions for what type of hair a given washing product is recommended for: for dry or normal hair, for oily hair, or any type of hair. These markings are very helpful, but it should be remembered that the type of hair a person has is primarily determined by the scalp, its behavior and condition. This can be compared primarily to facial skin - you choose products according to its type, how it reacts, etc. In the case of the scalp, how the scalp behaves also affects the hair. The easiest way to explain this is with the example of oily hair - when the head gets oily quickly, the sebum secretion by the glands is quite intense, the secretion is transferred to the hair, leaving a noticeable oily coating. Thanks to this observation, we can easily determine the type of hair as oily. The aforementioned coating appears quite quickly after the last hair wash, which is usually necessary in such a case, daily. When the scalp is dry, we can observe that our hair does not get oily at all, and if such a need arose, we could wash it very rarely. Of course, we do not recommend long intervals between washes, although sebum does not collect at the roots of the hair and the hair looks quite fresh, it can collect impurities from the external environment, e.g. dust. Dry hair also needs large doses of moisture to be loose and soft. Normal hair, on the other hand, can be placed in the middle of the two types described above - a few days have passed since the last wash, and then a slight greasiness appears caused by the action of the glands of the scalp. When buying a shampoo bar, first think about how the shampoo works on the scalp. Thanks to this, you will also take care of the condition of the hair itself.

UNIVERSAL SHAMPOO

This is the first shampoo bar that was created under the wings of Szpaks. Due to its universality, it has become an uncompromising bestseller not only among our other cosmetics, but also in its product category. Anyone who has tried it once will never think the same about a regular shampoo. The universal shampoo is as effective as many bottles of liquid shampoo.

The basic ingredients of the shampoo are of course washing raw materials (washing is also the basic function of this product, so their quantity is always significant), which in terms of their cleansing power can be classified into three groups: strongly cleansing, medium cleansing and delicate washing raw materials. The universal shampoo in a bar contains washing detergents such as Sodium Coco Sulfate and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, which are surfactants of plant origin, and Decyl Glucoside, which is a delicate and natural washing agent. This arrangement and type of washing agents makes the universal shampoo a product of medium cleansing power. This means that it is an ideal product for everyday use for normal, slightly oily skin and all hair types. The shampoo also contains other raw materials such as red clay or essential oils responsible not only for the pleasant smell during use. Coconut oil has antiseptic, nourishing and antifungal effects. At the same time, thanks to the addition of coconut oil, the shampoo naturally foams beautifully. Other oils such as shea butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil are valuable ingredients that moisturize, nourish and make hair more elastic. In the case of shampoo, we also do not forget about the beautiful scent - in 4Szpaks, it is primarily the essential oils that are responsible for it, which the shampoo bar contains. It can be lemongrass oil, geranium oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, or even vanilla oil. They not only smell beautiful, but thanks to their valuable properties, they also contribute to improving the condition of the hair.

If you have not yet had contact with shampoo bars and do not know which shampoo will work well for your daily care - the orange bar cleanses the hair thoroughly but not aggressively and will perfectly cope with the daily care of your hair.

DELICATE SHAMPOO

If you struggle with sensitive scalp, then a gentle shampoo is just for you. Using any shampoo on sensitive scalps can be a bit problematic - after use, the skin often becomes itchy or burning. There may be severe skin dryness, dandruff (which is classified as a skin disease) or even atopic dermatitis of the scalp. The main role in balancing the scalp with such symptoms (or to avoid them) is to use products that contain gentle cleansing substances. Their task is to cleanse the scalp so as not to damage its protective layer, but to get rid of dirt, deposited dust and sebum. The composition of a gentle shampoo is typical PEH, composed of proteins, emollients and humectants. It contains natural detergents, butters (shea butter, cocoa butter) and vegetable oils. Despite its rich oil composition, it does not weigh down the hair, but makes it light and soft, and, above all, cleanses and soothes the scalp (D-phenol, bisabolol).

The shampoo can also be used for all hair types as a gentle cleansing product, and its use can be easily alternated with a universal shampoo.

PS this cube is also great for washing the body :)

NORMALIZING SHAMPOO

The proud younger brother of the universal shampoo. Its appearance resembles its older sibling, but the addition of rosemary essential oil has given it the status of a hair freshness extender. That is why it has been called a normalizing shampoo, which thoroughly and effectively cleanses the scalp, and many opinions on our website show that it also extends the period between subsequent washes - that is why it is recommended for all types of hair, with particular emphasis on oily hair. It can be safely said that rosemary oil (accompanied by tangerine) has worked great with medium-strength washing ingredients, giving the bar even greater cleansing and refreshing properties. Thanks to this, washing normal, oily or other hair that needs cleansing will become a real pleasure.

DETOXIFYING SHAMPOO

The youngest member of the Szpak shampoo family, which despite its young age has already gained more than one fan with its power and scent. The detoxifying shampoo is undoubtedly characterized by the strongest cleansing power of all the Szpak bars. It contains active bamboo charcoal, which is a valued ingredient in the care of skin prone to oiliness, and burdock extract, famous for its properties that strengthen hair to the roots. The shampoo is perfect for people who use stylers or dry shampoos to thoroughly remove such products from their hair. And finally, its scent... definitely different than its three predecessors. Created from a combination of essential oils such as grapefruit, sage, lavender, geranium and patchouli - it will certainly appeal to lovers of heavier fragrance notes, as well as men.

HOW TO USE SHAMPOO BAR?

Using shampoo in this form is not particularly difficult. Shampoo in a bar is such a universal cosmetic that it can be used in several ways. We squeeze wet hair lightly with our hands, then wet the bar, rub it in our hands and spread the resulting foam on the scalp, at the roots and all over the damp hair. We can also wash our hair using the so-called cup method, when we pour some water into a closing box, place the bar (or its cut part), cover it with a lid and shake vigorously until the right amount of foam is produced. We apply the foam in the same way as in the case of creating it in the hands along the entire length of the hair. There is another method, where damp hair should be rubbed with the shampoo bar until foam is produced. Personally, we do not recommend this method because rubbing could damage and condition the hair. The method of washing should also be adapted to the type of hair. The natural composition of the cosmetic is one thing, the method of its application - another. A more gentle solution is to wash with just foam. After using shampoo, apply your favorite conditioner to your hair to add softness and provide it with the right ingredients.

HAIR SOAP

The review of hair cleansing cosmetics cannot end without mentioning the first product of this type in the Szpacz offer. Although the production method and composition make hair soap a completely different product than a shampoo bar or liquid shampoo, before our sweeper appeared - universal shampoo, the cleansing section was worthily represented by hair soap, which contains plant extracts, saponified fatty acids, and among them a large amount of castor oil, an ingredient that has been used for hair care for generations. Castor oil is famous for its wonderful effect on the density and softness of hair. With regular use, it is able to thicken hair, which grows much thicker, healthier and stronger. Unlike traditional shampoos, soap does not contain artificial dyes, of course. The soap bar, like the shampoo bar, is very efficient.

Despite the emergence of an alternative in the form of shampoo bars, hair soap still has its fans and anyone who is even slightly interested in hair care should try this classic with a minimalist composition. It is worth remembering, however, that hair soaps, due to their alkaline pH, can make the hair rough and unpleasant to the touch. Therefore, the care should be supplemented with a vinegar rinse, which will reduce the alkaline pH.
