Q. How to store the bars?
A. We recommend that upon receipt of your bars you open the wrapper and let it sit for a day or two (air dry) before using. This would make the curing process longer and will in return make you bars harder so that it can reach its optimum use of 60 to 70 washes.
Best application is to apply directly to wet hair from the tips then form a lather. Please don't expect the same lather as that of your standard commercial shampoo bars as these are sulfate free.
