"I have added Mica powder and Essential Oils to this base to make shampoo bars. This works really well for men's oily hair. However, for my hair it dries the ends and my roots appear to be oily. My hair is never oily. What can I add to this base to keep if from drying the ends of my hair and clean my roots? "

Staff Answer This is the nature of shampoo bars - the adjustment period can take anywhere from a few days to a few months. As a previous customer suggested in an older question, they might try a vinegar rinse or conditioner afterwards for at least the ends.
