What are the pros and cons of bar and liquid shampoo, if there is a differnce? Which do you like better?
bars last a really long time. i ordered Knotty Boy All Purpose Shampoo bars in December, i still havent used a full bar, got one of each fragrance. i probably have four or five more washes out of my Fresh Cut Grass bar which ive been using primarily. think i only used the Spearmint Tingle and Patchouli Love once or twice each. i ran out of two 16 oz bottles of DreadheadHQ liquid shampoo in like 2 months.
i haven't really tried any shampoos, solid or liquid, made specifically for dreads... but in my experience (i use a glycerin soap bar for my hair and body) it lasts lots longer than liquid shampoo. I also like the fact that my soap bar comes with absolutely no packaging to throw away i have heard (read) some great stuff about Lush's line of shampoo bars, and someone else (here, i think) mentioned using plain ol' head and shoulders. So i gues it would realy just depend on what you prefer. It did take me a week to get used to using a bar of soap on my head rather than lathering up with a gel shampoo but it wasn't a huge thing, just a little something different is all
ya ive used Head and Shoulders once with locks. so i dont really know if it leaves much residue or not. i miss washing with it normally tho.
my bf used to wash his dreads with normal shampoos and yes, it left a lot of residue behind imho, though i'm not very sure how to detect that (gray gooey stuff? though that might be the lefts of his first and last wax too). i use kboy bar and i didn't like it at first much, but now i've become used to it. after you wash your dreads, do the feel somewhat sticky idk maybe i don't wash the shampoo out properly, though i rinse it thoroughly, at least i try o.o
Shampoo bars last longer imo.. for me anyway, cus for my DHHQ bottle shampoo to do anything for me I have to use like half a handful of the stuff, which is looads The Dr.B's bar, I only have to rub it in my hands twice to get my dreads all shoapy So I'd defo recommened the Dr.B's bar, if you don't mind that squeaky shoapy feeling when you wash it out.. I hate it >< But its like with all soap bars so meh xD
