Chargin Valley's Shampoo Bars



I like to have a variety of shampoo to use, preferably natural shampoos, but I also want them to be affordable. I felt like I was running out of options until a month ago when I was in searching for something on the internet and found Chagrin Valley Soap and Crafts Company. They sell natural shampoo bars, soap, and other products. I never considered using a shampoo bar. For some reason I snubbed them, thinking it's easier to use shampoo out of a bottle.

I went on their website and checked out all their products and became intrigued, especially since you don't have to buy a regular-sized bar (around $6). You can get a sample (a little over $2). They even encourage shoppers to get samples so they can try a variety and see which works best.

I opted to sample 3 bars. It was hard picking them because they all seemed great. I finally chose the Carrot and Honey Milk, Rosemary Mint (pictured above) and Herb Garden shampoo bars.

I received the products quickly and used a different one each week. It took a little getting used to the bars, but it wasn't rocket science. I didn't care for the Carrot and Honey Milk, but the Rosemary Mint and Herb Garden worked well on my hair. My hair did come out feeling clean, maybe a little too clean; it felt a bit rough afterwards, so I conditioned it longer than usual. But that didn't sway me away from the products. My hair did have to get used to them and it has over time. I love them actually. They're packed with natural ingredients; no chemicals at all.

A word of caution: Be careful of the suds getting into your eyes. They sting A LOT.

Bee Beautiful!
