When I first went nappy, I was all in with shampoo bars. But after a while, I lost the love…my scalp wasn’t getting clean and I didn’t wanna always have to use an ACV rinse, to get rid of that “funky” feelin’ that sometimes remained, after the wash.
Let me say this: I HATE butters in shampoo bars. I don’t know why folks put shea butter in shampoo bars. Don’t get that at all. Now, I can make my own shampoo bars, but I prefer to make body soap. I didn’t feel like working on a shampoo bar formula, after spending months testing body bar formulations.
So, I was checkin’ out CurlyNikki’s site, and she swears by Mehandi Shampoo Bars. We don’t have the same texture, but she had me intrigued. When I went to the site, I jumped for joy! NO SHEA BUTTER (or butters of any kind) in their formulations. What I don’t 
is the price: $12.50 for a 4oz shampoo bar? 
I need to really think about pricing, when I start selling my soap.
Anyhow, I’m ordering one. I think it’ll be nice and gentle, for the winter season. I’ll still alternate with a bottle shampoo.
Let’s see how it goes!

I’m asking out of pure ignorance: what’s so bad about butter in a shampoo bar? I use Shea Butter, but I’ve never seen it in a hair shampoo but I’ll take your word that there are shampoos with shea butter in them.

Hey nappiejean!
If you check out the ingredients in many shampoo bars (not so much liquid shampoo), shea butter is in a lot of ‘em. I like shampoo to clean, and conditioners to condition. Shea butter in poo bars seems like a waste of good shea, AND many of them leave my hair feeling “icky”.
For a while, I avoided shea butter period, in leave-in hair products (butters, creams, etc.), because they would leave a grey “film” on my hair, that I could actually see, as it was shampooed away.
That’s just me, though.
