How to use a solid shampoo?
Wet your hair thoroughly. Then rub the wet shampoo bar directly on your hair, from scalp to ends. Use a combing motion. Make sure to get all the areas of your hair. Massage with your fingers. Add more water until you get a nice lather. Always shampoo starting from the top, going down, to avoid tangles. Use your fingers like a comb. Don’t pile all the hair on top of the head.
After 2-3 minutes, completely rinse your hairs until all traces of soap is gone. You can then apply a conditioner. This step allow your hairs to recover their normal pH, provide them with a more shiny look and ease the hair untangle process.

How to store it?
It is important to dry your shampoo bar after each use in order to increase its life expectancy.
