Hello Friends!
Today I am going to review 'Soulflower Sandalwood geranium Shampoo Bar' which I bought along with several organic products from Natural Mantra shopping site during last week of February.
Price: Rs 250.00
Size-150gm
All those with dry, flyaway, scanty hair, throw out your hats.Dry hair looks dull, tangles easily & can become easily split at the ends. You need essential oils that stimulate the sebaceous glands in the scalp to produce more oil. Sandalwood & Geranium do that & more! They also work as an antidepressant on the emotional level, soothing anxiety & stress. Jojoba & almond oils nourish hair & it will regain its elasticity, leaving it soft, shiny & with far more body. Formulated to gently clean your hair as well has hands, face & body -- especially convenient when traveling. They're safe for chemical treated, colored, children’s hair.
Use Sandalwood Geranium Shampoo Bar for normal to dry hair. Rub the bar between your hands & apply the lather to your hair or rub the bar directly on your hair. Work the lather through & rinse as usual.

My Take On This Product:
I remember when I was a child my mom used to cleanse my hair with a maroon colored soap named Shikakai Soap.I never liked its fragrance and always used to request my momma to buy Sunsilk shampoo for me (That time Sunsilk TV commercials used to come) I clearly remember how thick and healthy my hair used to be.I used to have very curly and thick hair with almost no hair fall. The moment I bade Goodbye to Soaps and started using shampoos my ordeal with hair and scalp related problems started.So the moment I saw this Soulflower Sandalwood Geranium Soap bar online, I really felt nostalgic remembering those good old days.
Though price of Soulflower soap really hit me hard but I thought to try it once and check how this one suits my dry hair.I checked online but did not get a single review, just got information regarding this product at the official site of Soulflower India.I was quite excited to try a hair shampoo bar after a long time that too which is completely free from SLS and contains no animal ingredients and harmful preservatives.
So coming back to review, this soap is maroon colored and has an ayurvedic yet refreshing fragrance.This soap is pretty bulky so I had to cut it into four chunks, this way it lasts long and does not feel bulky while using it.I have already finished one of the chunks and going to finish the second one by next week.Each of these soap chunks last for 8-9 washes on my shoulder length hair. So its going to last me a long time you see, pretty reasonable considering the lasting time.
This soap does not yield very rich lather yet I like it because I am satisfied that it does not contain SLS and second due to the creaminess of the lather.Whenever I use any shampoo on my dry hair and skip a conditioner then my hair gets tangled horribly. :( This was the only shampoo which completely detangled my dry hair even after skipping a conditioner.It made my hair look darker, healthier and soft. It conditions my hair nicely, so I can skip a conditioner too.It controls frizz to some extent and makes hair bouncy.Generally I lose few strands with every wash after using any shampoo but this soap did not cause any hair fall in my case.I felt very very happy using it.
But whenever I apply oil and wash my hair, though initially my hair feels very soft and non greasy yet after two days my hair feels very limp and dull. So I think this is not for people with oily scalp. Its meant for dry hair and if you have very dry hair, you can use it and follow up with your HG Conditioner.I sometimes Apply Organic Surge conditioner after washing my hair with this soap.
If you are expecting extremely shiny Salon treated kind of hair then you will be disappointed, it makes my hair look and feel healthier.Shampoos and soaps free from SLS and harmful preservatives help in restoring the hair growth cycle and result in hair regrowth with continued usage.
