How do I use a solid shampoo bar?
Wet your hair thoroughly. Work the bar directly through wet hair, or lather between your palms and apply to the scalp and lengths. Massage in and rinse thoroughly with water. Repeat if needed. Follow with a conditioner bar or your usual conditioner. Between uses, store the bar on a well-drained soap dish — standing water shortens the bar's life significantly.
Is it suitable for my hair type?
The Bluebell Classic Shampoo Bar is formulated for all hair types. If you are transitioning from liquid shampoo to a solid bar for the first time, your hair may take a few washes to adjust — this is a normal adjustment period as the scalp recalibrates oil production.
What are the fragrance allergens?
Ylang Ylang essential oil naturally contains Linalool and Limonene — fragrance components required to be declared on cosmetic products sold in the UK and EU when present above threshold concentrations. If you have a known sensitivity to these components, perform a patch test before use: apply a small amount of lather to the inside of your wrist and wait 24–48 hours before washing your hair with the bar.
What does Alkanet Root do?
Alkanet Root (Alkanna tinctoria) is a plant-derived pigment used as a natural colourant. In the Bluebell Shampoo Bar, it provides the bar's blue hue without synthetic dyes. It is used for cosmetic colouring only.
Is it suitable for travel?
Yes. As a solid bar, the Bluebell Shampoo Bar is not subject to liquid restrictions for carry-on luggage under standard aviation security rules. It is compact and lightweight for travel. Wrap in wax paper or store in a travel soap tin to protect it in a bag.
