In fact, because they\u2019re solid and self-contained, shampoo bars don\u2019t require any packaging at all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nofocus\">These mighty bars may be small, but they\u2019ve got an impressive lathering ability that makes them incredibly long-lasting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nofocus\">Run the shampoo bar over your head in one direction (front to back), as to avoid causing unnecessary knots. Once you have a good amount of shampoo on top of your head, massage it into your scalp with your fingers.
