Handcrafted Hair Cleaning Kit
Constructed as a two-step wash routine, this handcrafted kit pairs a liquid shampoo with a liquid conditioner.
Castile soap and decyl glucoside, a mild foaming cleanser used for gentle grease removal, form the shampoo, and shea butter, an intensive emollient used for sealing, supports the conditioner.
Hair care engages touch at every step, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift buildup and surface bacteria from the hair and scalp (Bloomfield et al., 2007). Conditioning products add oils and lipids that smooth the hair surface and reduce fiber friction (Robbins, 2012). Styling and leave-in products add glide through the same surface smoothing, which lowers mechanical stress on the fibers during combing and styling (Robbins, 2012; Rele & Mohile, 2003). At any step, massage-like pressure on the scalp activates the touch receptors around the hair follicles (McGlone et al., 2014) and is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010).
Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
