shampoo bar

Octobod's soap-free, pH-balanced shampoo cube serves up luscious, velvety, creamy lather with absolutely zero waxiness or buildup. This cube tames frizz while leaving your hair soft, shiny and clean. Formulated with rice as the secret weapon in this bad boy, it's an ingredient famous for adding volume to hair. Each cube is infused with essential oils of rosemary, peppermint, lavender, and cedar. These powerhouse botanicals have been used for centuries to help keep scalps happy and balanced.

We've combined four powerful essential oils that are widely known for giving great hair. We like to think of them as the four horsemen of the hairpocalypse: rosemary, peppermint, lavender and cedar. They all work harmoniously to create a fresh, zingy, herbaceous scent profile that instantly levels up your mood and your shower routine.

Directions: Wet hair thoroughly and rub shampoo bar over hair and scalp. This bar contains carefully selected ingredients that cause it to soften when wet. To extend the life of your bar, set it on a raised soap dish or surface - do not let it sit in a pool of water or in direct line of shower spray. Allow to dry between each use. Makes an extra-gentle body wash too!
