Dread Love Shampoo Bar | Glycerin & Hibiscus | Vegan | For Locs & Natural Hair

The shampoo bar I reach for in my own studio.

Sulfate-Free. Residue-Free. Loctician-Formulated.

After 20+ years working with locs, I've seen what harsh shampoos do — stripped scalps, dry locs, and buildup that takes multiple washes to undo.

So I made something better.

Dread Love Glycerin & Hibiscus Shampoo Bar is a gentle, residue-free shampoo bar built specifically for locs and natural hair. It cleanses thoroughly, maintains your scalp's natural moisture balance, and leaves zero buildup on your hair.

Long-lasting, low-waste, and easy to use. One bar goes a very long way.

Handmade in Canada, in small batches. When it's gone, it's gone.

Why Scalp Health Comes First

Healthy locs begin at the root. Your scalp is living skin with its own natural balance — and harsh cleansers can strip away the protective oils that keep it comfortable.

This shampoo bar cleanses effectively and removes buildup without disrupting that balance. The result is a clean, refreshed scalp that supports strong, healthy locs over time.

• Cleanses thoroughly without stripping
• Removes buildup without residue
• Maintains scalp moisture balance
• Gentle enough for daily or frequent use
• 100% vegan — no animal-derived ingredients, palm oil-free

Key Ingredients

• Vegetable Glycerin – Humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the scalp
• Hibiscus – Rich in vitamins and amino acids that support hair health
• Aloe Vera – Hydrating botanical known for its soothing, moisturizing properties
• Apple Cider Vinegar – Gently clarifies and helps maintain natural scalp pH
• Organic Coconut Oil – Cleanses without stripping natural oils
• Lavender & Chamomile – Calming botanicals that support a comfortable scalp

How To Use

Wet hair and scalp thoroughly. Rub the bar directly on your scalp in circular motions to create lather, or lather in your hands first. Massage gently to cleanse. Rinse thoroughly.

Pro tip: Let the bar dry completely between uses on a soap dish or container. Kept dry, one bar lasts a very long time.

Follow with Dread Love Scalp Oil for optimal moisture between washes.
