How to Use
Prior to using Thuja & Camellia Hairwash Powder, use this Thuja & Camellia Shampoo Bar to cleanse your scalp and hair.
We suggest to use this Thuja & Camellia Shampoo Bar only during heavy sweating day, and must follow by the use of Thuja & Camellia Hairwash Powder.
This helps to promote more efficient scalp health rejuvenation.
Note: You may experience a transition period when you first switch to natural shampoo bar to cleanse your hair. During this transition period, you may have a waxy feeling on your hair as your hair is going through expelling period to clear chemical additive (i.e. SLS, Silicone-based surfactant) accumulated in the past. After 7-14 days, you will notice fresher scalp and smoother hair texture.
Even after transition period, you may feel waxy feeling due to the reaction of hard water (water contains minerals, which is the default from our water supplier in Malaysia) and alkaline properties of soap. Hence, the use of Thuja & Camellia Shampoo Bar must follow by the use of Thuja & Camellia Hairwash Powder, as mild acidic (around PH7.5-8) helps to dissolve the waxy alkaline feeling left by this shampoo bar. This helps to keep our hair and scalp at healthy PH level.
Caution: Avoid contact with eyes as camellia seed can be stimulating. Wash thoroughly with clear water if any contact happens.

This shampoo bar took me by surprise. Its very easy to use and surprisingly produces alot bubble eventough it has no nasties. As a person with psoriasis, it is not easy to find a suitable shampoo. Thank you for creating this product. ❤️❤️❤️

Oh my goodness. I’ve tried so many hair care products for my sensitive yet oily scalp. But this is the best. I’ve only been using it for a little while and I’ve noticed an increase in volume. My hair is soft and no longer oily. It didn’t feel waxy at all as said in the description. Will definitely continue using it.

I’m ngl, I was pretty skeptical about this shampoo bar. I have oily but easily dried out scalp which can get itchy & flake if its too oily or too dry which results in hair loss. It’s super hard for me to balance out my scalp. I’ve tried loads of organic shampoos/bars and they mostly leave my hair feeling really oily/waxy and disgusting after using it. With this bar, I use it 1x/day for 2-3 days, followed by one day of a more soapy silicon/paraben-free liquid shampoo. I also use a separate scalp oil twice a week. First week, there was a transition period of a moderately waxy feeling after washes but surprisingly nothing too bad and no oily feeling. Second week, my hair became a lot softer and the waxy feeling transformed into some sort of natural hair shine/protection. I’m on my third week now and feeling really happy with this shampoo bar – my scalp no longer over-produces oil and definitely feels a lot more balanced/less random hair loss. I’m going to buy the hair powder soon to rinse after washes as I think that will help too. 10/10 would recommend for people struggling with a scalp that doesn’t know how to balance out the oil production/dry flaky feeling!
