Dr. Bronner's Unscented Bar Soap - 5oz

A: Due to the alkalinity of our soaps, they can leave a tangly look and feel. An acidic rinse not only conditions your hair but also can tamp down the cuticles in your hair and give it a smooth and silky after-feel.  Rinsing with our Organic Hair Rinse (after rinsing the soap out) results in a spectacular look and feel! Just stir 1- 2 capfuls of the rinse into a cup of water, close your eyes, and slowly pour while massaging it into your hair. Keep a hand combing your hair until it feels entirely sleek (~30 seconds). Once your hair feels smooth, rinse the hair rinse out well and repeat this process if necessary. Additional rinses are typically only necessary in extra hard water conditions or for those with longer hair.  Please note that washing your hair with our soaps can be a process for some people, as your hair needs to adapt to using a true soap since they are not a shampoo. It can take a fair amount of trial and error and tinkering with what works best for your hair.  Additionally, using our Hair Rinse is optional, and not necessary to wash your hair with our soaps. However, we have found that most hair types do benefit from an acidic rinse.  Lastly, we recommend checking out Lisa Bronner's blog, Going Green with Lisa Bronner, to find more, first-hand usage of our products.  Should you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know! All the best, Myrna

A: While our Pure-Castile Soap can be used efficiently in salt water, we would consider it to be hard water due to the high amount of minerals present. Hard water contains dissolved minerals in the form of calcium and magnesium. All true soaps, such as castile soap, will react with these minerals to form insoluble stearates, which are visible as a whitish precipitate. This effect can interfere with foaming capabilities and may leave soap scum on surfaces. This whitish precipitate builds up primarily on surfaces where water is left to dry, such as sinks and showers. It is typically not an issue on floors, counters, or other hard surfaces where the castile soap is diluted for cleaning and standing water is mopped or wiped up. We recommend checking out the following link to Lisa Bronner's blog, where she addresses the issue of hard water and soap scum. https://www.lisabronner.com/using-soap-to-test-for-hard-water-video/
