Using Aleppo Soap for Hair: A Natural Shampoo Alternative

# Using Aleppo Soap for Hair: A Natural Shampoo Alternative

Many people are surprised to learn that Aleppo soap makes an excellent shampoo. Here's everything you need to know.

## Why Consider Soap for Hair?

Commercial shampoos often contain:
- Sulfates that strip natural oils
- Silicones that build up over time
- Synthetic fragrances
- Parabens and preservatives

## Benefits of Aleppo Soap for Hair

### Gentle Cleansing
Removes dirt without stripping beneficial oils.

### Scalp Health
Laurel oil's antibacterial properties help with dandruff and itchy scalp.

### Natural Shine
Without silicone buildup, hair regains its natural luster.

### Volume
Hair isn't weighed down by synthetic ingredients.

## How to Use

1. Wet hair thoroughly
2. Rub soap between hands to create lather
3. Apply to scalp and massage gently
4. Rinse thoroughly
5. Follow with apple cider vinegar rinse (optional, helps with transition)

## The Transition Period

Your hair may need 2-4 weeks to adjust. During this time:
- Hair may feel different than usual
- This is normal as buildup is removed
- Be patient—the results are worth it

Many users report healthier, more manageable hair after the transition.
