Michelle S’s Natural Hair Journey

My hair is cared for using strictly Organic and Natural haircare products. In my quest to avoid haircare products containing an array of toxic substances, I stumbled upon the Henna Sooq and have never looked back. My present Natural/Organic regimen has produced some amazing results. In terms of texture and appearance, my hair is now very noticeably healthy.

My favorite henna crop is Rajasthani  which produces a very lovely tone especially when out in the sun.  My natural hair color is more of a very dark brown so this works perfect without being too vibrant.

For simple cleansing and conditioning I use the following: Miessence’s Desert Flower Shampoo, Hennasooq’s Argan Oil Shampoo Bar and Miessence’s Shine Herbal Hair Conditioner.

And whenever I feel the need for extra conditioning I reach for a simple tea rinse using either Chamomile or Rosemary. I brew these and just pour over my hair.  Both are known to promote shine and overall healthy hair. Now and then I also apply a Henna Gloss using Henna and Amla Powder mixed with my Organic Hair Conditioner. This concoction conditions and also deposits a bit of color to my hair.

On days when my hair feels heavy, I use a simple Apple Cider Vinegar rinse or the Miessence Clarifying Hair rinse. They both produce amazing results!

My hair is naturally wavy and doesn’t require much styling hence I get away with using just oils such as Argan, Jojoba or even Coconut. Choosing an all Natural/Organic regimen is the only way to go for gorgeous healthy hair.

Introducing Henna Sooq’s new Shampoo Bar line!  In our effort to continue providing the safest, natural hair care products, we consulted with a professional soap & skincare maker to create this luxurious alternative to synthetic, toxic shampoos.   Our Shampoo Bars are handcrafted in small batched for freshness, using only 100% natural oils, butters, organic herbs & pure essential oils.  Custom formulated for Henna Sooq, you won’t find these unique bar combinations anywhere else!

Why use Henna Sooq shampoo bars?

• 100% Natural. Commercial shampoos are not – they’re actually synthetic detergents! 
• Vegan & Biodegradable.  Safe for you and the environment. Comes packaged in a soap box that is 100% recyclable.
• Handcrafted in Canada.  Making each bar a unique piece of art as well as a fabulously moisturizing cleanser.  Perfect for gifts!
• Shampoo bars will not strip the natural oils from your hair.
• Ayurvedic – unique Indian herbal & oil combinations
• Doubles as a body soap!  Why buy 2 products when this gentle, creamy cleanser can be used from head to toe? Gentle enough to use on babies.
• pH Balanced
• No SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) or foam boosters. These are usually used to create the illusion of an expensive, high quality shampoo, but in fact it dries out skin and hair, irritates the scalp & can cause hair loss. Our shampoo bars only contain natural, safe ingredients that nourish, strengthen and cleanse the hair and scalp.
• No preservatives
• No detergents
• No petroleum based oils
• No residue.  Commercial detergent shampoos do leave a chemical residue in your hair. That is why they recommend you switch brands of shampoo every few months!
• Ideal for travel.  Made with only moisturizing oils, our shampoo bars are easy to cut into small pieces to use as your shampoo & soap when travelling, on vacation, at school, work & the gym.

Using a shampoo bar

• Wet your hair thoroughly. You can place the bar directly onto your hair, and move in circular motions to get the shampoo bar all over your scalp.  Or, you can rub the shampoo bar in your hands and get it well lathered, then apply directly from your hands onto your scalp (this method is ideal if you have curly hair, and want to rub the shampoo into your hair with your hands in such a way as to avoid tangles and breakage).  Wash out thoroughly.
• Be sure to only wash your scalp.  The length of your hair should not be washed or scrubbed.
• You can follow up with a lemon juice and water rinse or ACV rinse to help with tangles.
• The shampoo bar should last about 1 month or so, depending on how often it is used. Let it dry out between uses on a well draining rack away from the flow of water.  If it sits in a pool of water or if water runs over it, your shampoo bar will quickly dissolve.
  You can use our shampoo bars on color-treated, and/or permed hair
  Make sure you use your shampoo bar that you selected for at least a week, so that it removes any residues from commercial shampoos (should this apply), before deciding if this shampoo is right for you or not.

After using our shampoo bars, you hair will feel refreshingly cleaner, and softer. All the beneficial ingredients in our shampoo bars will also moisturize your hair, strengthen it, and enable it to grow richer, and fuller.
