One common concern we hear from people who have started using shampoo bars is that their hair feels "squeaky" or "strippy." Especially for those accustomed to shampoos and conditioners containing silicone or softeners, the initial difference can be puzzling. However, there's a clear reason for this "squeaky problem," and there's also a significant reason why CHANT's all-in-one shampoo bar can greatly reduce this concern.
This time, we'll explain in detail why CHANT's all-in-one shampoo bar is less likely to cause squeakiness, how to navigate the transition period, and how to use "SAKI Oil Serum" for moisturizing care during that time.
Why does hair feel squeaky with shampoo bars?
Many commercial shampoos and conditioners contain ingredients like silicone and softeners. While these ingredients coat the hair to make it feel smooth, they are actually just masking the hair's natural state.
Shampoo bars generally do not contain coating ingredients and cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly, which can temporarily make the hair surface feel rough. This is what is described as "squeaky."
Why CHANT's all-in-one shampoo bar is less likely to cause squeakiness
CHANT's all-in-one shampoo bar features a unique formula designed to minimize squeakiness. Let's take a closer look at its characteristics.
Uses amino acid-based cleansing ingredients
CHANT's shampoo bar uses amino acid-based cleansing ingredients derived from coconut. Amino acids are highly compatible with hair and skin, removing only dirt while retaining essential moisture, which prevents hair from drying out or feeling squeaky.
Mildly acidic, gentle on hair and scalp
General soaps are alkaline, which can cause hair to feel squeaky, but CHANT's shampoo bar is mildly acidic, just like skin. This allows for cleansing while protecting the hair's cuticles.
Balance of natural oils and clay
CHANT's shampoo bar contains moisturizing ingredients such as Tsubaki oil from Toshima, Tokyo, and argan oil. These ingredients provide appropriate moisture to the hair, leaving it feeling soft and smooth after washing. Additionally, natural clay gently absorbs excess oil and dirt, providing both a refreshing feel and a moisturized finish.
About the "transition period" when switching from silicone shampoo
Some people may experience a "transition period" during the first few weeks of using CHANT's shampoo bar, where their hair feels squeaky. This is the process of hair, which was coated with silicone and softeners, losing that film and returning to its natural state. By understanding and overcoming this transition period, you can return to natural hair that feels like it doesn't need conditioner.
What happens during the transition period
• Hair surface may feel rough and squeaky
• Scalp may feel like it's secreting excess sebum
These changes are temporary as hair and scalp become less dependent on silicone.
Utilizing SAKI Oil Serum for moisturizing care during the transition period
For those concerned about squeakiness or dryness during the transition period, we highly recommend "SAKI Oil Serum." This oil serum is a high-performance beauty serum blended with Tsubaki oil, argan oil, and sake lees-derived fermented beauty extract.
• Simply apply a small amount to wet hair after washing to provide natural moisture and make it more manageable.
• It can also be used on the skin, making scalp care easy when used with the shampoo bar.
• Furthermore, it contains essential oils that balance hormones, so you can expect a relaxing effect from the scent.
No need for conditioner after the transition period
By continuing to use CHANT's all-in-one shampoo bar, most people find that their hair and scalp return to a natural state where conditioner is no longer necessary. As the hair's coating disappears and natural moisture returns, it transforms into light, smooth hair.
