Beer & Seaweed Shampoo Bars by Great Cakes Soapworks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Beer & Seaweed Shampoo Bars are finally available! According to testers, these just might be the best shampoo bars around for normal to dry hair. It’s definitely my own personal favorite right now. If you’ve been following this blog for awhile, you know I started my quest<\/a> to create a shampoo bar last May, and have been trying out different recipes ever since. I had 13 gals test the Beer & Seaweed formula last November and got a very nice report<\/a> including this before and after photo:

After seeing these photos, I knew it was time to start producing. But it had to be the right size and shape, and it had to have the right scent(s). Having a nice, round bar that not only fits your hand, but also your head was important. So I invested in a custom-sized 2.5″ PVC pipe that had to be ordered from the plumbing store to use as my mold. <\/p>\n

For the fragrances, I chose to keep the Deep Patchouli blend of patchouli, cedarwood, and lemongrass essential oils that I sent to the testers. The scent lingers in your hair, so if you like deep, earthy fragrances, you will love this scent! But I also added Lemongrass Herbal Mint, which is a super refreshing blend of lemongrass, lavender, rosemary and peppermint. You won’t smell it after your hair dries, but it will definitely invigorate the senses during the wash, which is sometimes all we need in the morning. Am I right?<\/p>\n

So if you’re ready to give it a try, you can get your shampoo bars HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
