My herbal shampoo bar eliminated itchy scalp pain after one wash, giving me the first relief in six years.
This herbal shampoo bar soothed my Seborrhoeic dermatitis instantly, reducing years of scalp agony to one tiny itch spot. I'm now trying their tea tree and jojoba bars for further relief. (20 words)

J·R·LIGGETT'S All-Natural Shampoo Bar, Jojoba & Peppermint Formula-Supports Strong & Healthy Hair-Nourish Follicles with Antioxidants & Vitamins-Detergent and Sulfate-Free, Set of Three,3.5 Ounce Bars
First time using a shampoo bar, so didn’t really know what to expect. I have Seborrhoeic dermatitis, so my scalp is always and I mean ALWAYS itchy after using any products on my scalp. I’d read that the jojoba and peppermint one, and the tea tree and hemp oil one work best for itchy scalps. But I was a bit leery to use either of those, since anything that leaves my scalp feeling tingly usually makes mine itch and sore even worse. So I wanted to try out the herbal one kind of as a test run to see if it made my scalp worse or about the same, before trying those specifically.
I’m a hairstylist, so of course, for years I kept using professional grade products. None of them have touched my scalp. Dermatologist professional scripts actually aggravated it worse. Head and shoulders has been the only thing that semi worked, tsal semi worked but I was still left feeling itchy.
Using the herbal shampoo bar once and I already see a HUGE improvement. Instead of having random spots all over my scalp that are itchy and hurting, I have one tiny spot that has been itching randomly every few hours. I know to some that may seem like it’s not helping, but for me- that’s the best it’s been in literally 6 years. I can tell within 24 hours if something will aggravate my scalp or make it better, by pain and itchy sensation. 24 hours later, and it’s not sore or itching all over. Just one tiny spot every few hours. I didn’t realize they had three packs of shampoo bars, and that’s cheaper than buying them individually. So I’ve ordered the pack with original, tea tree, and jojoba. I love the idea of the argan oil one, but from reviews I’ve read- that one builds up a layer on the scalp and hair over time. If this one worked this well for me, can’t wait to see what the others that are specifically for itchy scalps does to help.
As for if it lathers or not, yes. As long as thoroughly wetting hair first, then rubbing the bar on your hair by the scalp, it suds up great. It’s a learning curve to how much, but I rinsed it well, then used diluted apple cider vinegar on it for 10 seconds then rinsed it out, since I have hard water and my hair felt kinda weird after shampooing. I think I’d used too much shampoo. Great products, can’t wait to try the others
Shampoo Basics & Tips
Understanding Scalp Conditions and Natural Solutions
Seborrhoeic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder causing redness, flakes, and intense itching. Common triggers include yeast overgrowth and stress. Unlike dandruff, it often requires medicated or pH-balanced products like tea tree oil which has antifungal properties.
Shampoo Bars vs. Liquid Shampoos
Shampoo bars concentrate active ingredients without water or sulfates, reducing irritation. The herbal variant mentioned contains gentle botanicals like chamomile that calm inflammation. For hard water areas, bars may leave residue – hence the reviewer's apple cider vinegar rinse neutralizes mineral buildup while restoring scalp pH.
Key Ingredients for Itchy Scalps
Jojoba oil mimics scalp sebum, reducing dryness without clogging pores. Peppermint creates a cooling sensation that distracts nerves from itch signals. Tea tree oil combats fungal causes of dermatitis, while hemp oil's omega fatty acids repair skin barriers. Avoid heavy oils like argan if prone to buildup.
Application Tips for Maximum Relief
Wet hair thoroughly before rubbing the bar directly on the scalp to generate lather. Limit use to 2-3 times weekly to prevent overdrying. Always follow with an acidic rinse (1 tbsp apple cider vinegar per cup water) if you have hard water or fine hair.
