Patchouli oil, derived from the leaves of the Pogostemon cablin plant, is not only known for its unique, earthy scent but also for its potential benefits for hair care. Here are some of the advantages of using patchouli on hair:

1. Promotes Hair Growth: Patchouli oil is thought to improve circulation in the scalp, which may help encourage healthy hair growth. Its stimulating properties can potentially strengthen hair follicles, reducing hair thinning and promoting thicker hair.

2. Reduces Dandruff: The oil has antifungal and antimicrobial properties, which can help combat dandruff. It helps to balance scalp oils, keeping the scalp clean and reducing flakes.

3. Balances Scalp Oil Production: Patchouli oil helps regulate the scalp’s natural oils, which can be particularly beneficial for both dry and oily scalps. It moisturises without making the scalp greasy.

4. Soothes the Scalp: Patchouli oil has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help calm irritated or inflamed scalps, alleviating itching or redness caused by conditions like psoriasis or eczema.

5. Detoxifies: The oil has detoxifying properties, meaning it can help cleanse the scalp and remove any impurities or buildup from styling products, allowing the hair to thrive.

6. Adds a Natural Shine: Regular use of patchouli oil can give your hair a natural shine, making it look healthier and more vibrant.

Sandalwood, derived from the wood of trees in the Santalum genus, is a highly valued ingredient in both skincare and haircare due to its soothing and aromatic properties. When used on hair, sandalwood offers several benefits:

1. Promotes Scalp Health: Sandalwood has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which can help soothe an irritated scalp and reduce dandruff, itchiness, or redness.

2. Stimulates Hair Growth: The oil from sandalwood can improve blood circulation to the scalp, potentially encouraging healthy hair growth by nourishing hair follicles.

3. Moisturises and Conditions: Sandalwood oil helps to hydrate and condition both the scalp and hair, improving texture and preventing dryness, making hair softer and shinier.

4. Balances Oily Scalp: Sandalwood is effective in regulating oil production, making it a good choice for individuals with an oily scalp. It helps cleanse the scalp without stripping away natural moisture.

5. Prevents Dandruff: Its antifungal properties can help address the root cause of dandruff, reducing flakes and promoting a healthier, more balanced scalp.

6. Improves Hair Texture: Regular use of sandalwood oil can improve hair texture, making it softer, shinier, and more manageable.

Directions for Use:

• Soak your hair thoroughly in warm water so it is completely saturated.
  The wetter your hair is, the easier it is to get lots of suds.
• Get your shampoo bar wet in the shower before use, warm it up in your hand by lathering before rubbing it over hair.
• Rub the bar on the top of your head, run a little warm water from the shower at the same time to help create more lather.
  How quickly this happens depends on, the thickness of your hair and the quality of tap water in your area.
• Massage your scalp and finally rinse hair thoroughly.
• Dry your shampoo bar after use. (the bar will last 3 times longer).

The general census for solid shampoo bars is, it can take around 5 washes for your hair to adjust to the change in your regular routine.
From experience, most would agree it’s worth the effort for the end benefits, not only for healthier, stronger hair, but also for the decreased impact on our environment.
