Matcha green tea is a wonderful source of antioxidants, inside and out, and is great for your hair too. Our mint tea matcha shampoo bar combines green tea, mint and tea tree to thoroughly cleanse your hair and boost circulation and shine.

All our shampoo bars are made from organic ingredients. To get the best out of your bar, foam it in your hands and massage the foam into your scalp. Wash it out thoroughly.

I find shampoo bars a great alternative to liquids, not just because of the reduced plastic, but also because they don't strip your hair of its natural oils. After a while, you'll likely notice your hair is smoother and healthier. Our bars are also great for coloured or treated hair.

Key ingredients:

~ Castor oil. Contains antioxidants that support keratin in your hair, helping to reduce frizz and give you strong, smooth locks. Castor oil is also beneficial if you have dandruff or hair loss.

~ Jojoba oil. Hydrates your hair without leaving it greasy and is a source of Vitamins B and E and zinc to stimulate hair growth.

~ Almond oil. Contains Vitamins A, D and E to help repair damaged hair and is rich in antioxidants to boost circulation around the scalp.

~ White clay. The mildest of the clays, this cleanses your hair without drying it and gives volume to fine strands.

~ Cetyl alcohol. Conditions and detangles hair.

~ Matcha green tea. Provides antioxidants for the hair and scalp that can boost hair growth and soothe conditions like dandruff and psoriasis. Rich in Vitamins C and E and panthenol, green tea can help protect hair from sun damage and prevent split ends.

~ Peppermint and spearmint essential oils. Soothe the scalp and stimulates circulation.

~ Tea tree essential oil. Cleanses and promotes hair growth.

Each mint tea matcha shampoo bar weighs 100g and is handmade with love in the UK. For dry or long hair, pair your shampoo bar with a conditioner bar for the ends - we have citrus or rosemary & lavender.

How to use

Work the shampoo into a lather in your hair. You can do this either by rubbing the bar in your hands and applying the lather to your hair, or gently rubbing the bar on your head in circular motions. Concentrate on the area around the scalp and work in the lather with your fingers.

Wash out the shampoo thoroughly. If you have dry, long or curly hair, you might want to apply a conditioner bar to the ends. Make sure to let your shampoo bar dry between uses.

Starting out with shampoo bars

If you're new to using a shampoo bar, you may have heard that there's a transition period as you switch away from chemical-laden shampoos. This can mean a period of greasy or frizzy hair as you gradually remove residue from your old shampoo and the natural oils of your hair come into balance. Remember, it will pass and you hair will feel much softer and healthier for it.

To reduce the transition period, make sure to use enough of your shampoo bar to wash your hair thoroughly (lather it not unlike your old shampoo). Then take extra care to wash all of it out, very carefully, as not doing this can contribute to the greasy feel. It's a bit different, but as with all new steps, you will soon learn the way that works best for you.
