What to Expect When Switching to a Shampoo Bar
First-time experience
Hair may feel squeaky, sticky, or heavier than usual.
This is normal and often called the transition phase.
Caused by your hair and scalp adjusting as buildup from commercial shampoos, conditioners, and styling products is washed away.
Duration of transition phase
For some people: only a few washes.
For heavy silicone-based or chemical-heavy product users: up to 2 weeks.
Hair may not look or feel the way you’re used to—but this is a good sign (residue being removed, scalp breathing naturally again).
Tips during transition
Be patient → The detox stage is temporary. Afterward, hair feels lighter, cleaner, and healthier.
Rinse thoroughly → Ensure no leftover soap, as this can worsen the sticky feeling.
Try an acidic rinse → Apple cider vinegar or lemon rinse helps balance scalp pH, smooth cuticles, and reduce stickiness.
Give your scalp time → Natural oil production will rebalance, leading to less greasiness in the long run.
After transtion
Many describe it as a scalp “reset” or being “reborn.”
Hair becomes naturally soft, shiny, and more manageable.
Benefits achieved without relying on synthetic additives.
转用洗发皂会遇到什么情况？
初次体验
头发可能会：
洗起来有点“吱吱响”
变得有点黏
感觉比较沉重
这是正常现象 → 被称为过渡期
原因：头发和头皮正在适应，把商业洗发水、护发素和造型品留下的化学残留清掉
过渡期时长
有些人：洗几次就过去
如果长期使用含硅或化学成分较重的洗发水 → 可能需要 约两个星期
期间现象：头发看起来不顺眼、手感怪怪的
其实是好现象 → 洗发皂开始发挥作用，帮头皮“断舍离”，重新呼吸
小贴士
不要急：过度期只是暂时的，过后头发会更轻盈、清爽
要冲干净：洗后要彻底冲水，避免皂液残留导致更黏
可以试酸洗：苹果醋或柠檬水冲洗 → 帮助头皮恢复平衡、让头发更顺滑
给头皮时间：油脂分泌会逐渐调回正常 → 久了更不容易出油
过渡期后效果
很多人形容：头皮像被 “reset” 一样
头发会变得：
自然柔软
有光泽
更好打理
而且完全不需要依赖人工化学添加
