Shampoo Bars & Hair Oil



Shampoo, as we know it today, has only been around since the 1930s. Before this time, hair was washed with ordinary body soap or a liquid made from soap. The word 'shampoo' comes from a Hindi word 'chāmpo' - which is a traditional head massage using oils. Throughout history, herbs and fragrances have also been used to treat hair.

Modern shampoos are actually detergents - very similar to your dish washing liquid!

Outrageous! Shampoo Bars are a natural soap specially formulated to clean hair while nourishing it with beneficial oils. Designed to condition hair and leave it soft and bouncy, without leaving any soapy or oily buildup. Enriched with coconut milk and shea butter.

If you have normal to oily hair, you can ditch the conditioner too! Dry hair may find that a little oil after the shampoo helps.


Nude: no added extras! Great for kids, men, or sensitive scalps.

Neem: The no-nits bar! Essential oils of Neem and Lavender repel head lice. (Disclaimer: Not a complete treatment for head lice - please treat with your usual method if infestation is present)

Apple: Smells just like old fashioned Apple shampoo!

Rosemary: Rosemary essential oil is fantastic for hair! Smells good too :)

Bars each approx 100g
Ingredients: Olive oil, Coconut oil, palm oil, castor oil, coconut milk, shea butter, essential oils/fragrance oils*, colour*

Hair oil
Hair oils are making a comeback. Outrageous hair oil is a blend of 5 oils your hair will love! Use it as a hot oil treatment, as a 'conditioner' after washing, or as an everyday styling aid.

Hot oil treatment: place bottle in a cup of moderately hot water (you actually want warm oil, not hot) for a few minutes. Pour a generous amount into your hand and work into damp hair, massaging into scalp. Leave on for 20mins to overnight, then wash out well using the shampoo bar. If you wish you can wrap your head in a plastic bag and/or hot damp towels.

After wash condition: pour a small amount onto palm and rub hands together, work through damp hair concentrating on dry ends. A little goes a long way!

Styling aid: for a 'wet look' rub a small amount into damp or dry hair. To add body, use fingertips to rub a small amount into scalp and hair closest to scalp.

15mls 'trial size' in an amber glass bottle.
Ingredients: Olive oil, organic virgin coconut oil, avocado oil, lavender essential oil, rosemary essential oil.
