Description
Grey hair is beautiful — and it deserves a shampoo that actually understands it. Apple Valley Natural Soap’s Grey Hair Care Shampoo Bar was specifically formulated for the unique needs of mature, grey, and silver hair: Extra conditioning, extra nourishment, and ingredients that support long-term scalp and follicle health.
Vitamin E-rich wheat germ oil, moisture-packed cocoa butter, and avocado and jojoba oils work together to deeply hydrate and strengthen each strand. Pro-vitamin B5 adds body and shine. The essential oil blend — clary sage, rosemary, lavender, patchouli, and frankincense — isn’t just beautiful-smelling; these oils have been studied for their role in scalp health and have been shown to help darken hair* over time, prevent baldness, strengthen hair follicles. They are powerful antioxidants that fight off free radicals which in turn may slow the graying process and support hair vitality over time.
Want to maximize the benefits for grey hair? After shampooing, try leaving a sudsy lather on your scalp for 30+ minutes before rinsing for deeper essential oil penetration. For enhanced results, combine with a weekly scalp massage using rosemary and clary sage essential oils mixed into a carrier oil.

The essential oils added to our Grey Hair Shampoo are known to help with scalp health and some may darken gray hair over time. However the results from consistent use with this shampoo is a brightening and revitalizing of gray hair (including new growth), not a darken of grey hair.
If you specifically want darkening, the essential oils need to be exposed to hair for a longer period of time than with the normal shampooing process. However, as mentioned, when shampooing you can create and leave a sudsy lather on your head for longer (30+ minutes) before rinsing out, this allows the essential oils to penetrate deeper for enhanced benefit.
For additional help with the darkening of grays in hair, try combining our Grey Hair bar with a scalp massage. Take a few drops of essential oils such as rosemary and clary sage, mix with a carrier oil (2-3 tsp) then massage into dry hair and scalp. This can be left on for an hour, or even overnight before being shampooed out with the Grey Hair Care Shampoo bar. This process gives a more concentrated application of essential oils known to help with the darkening of hair, and a longer period of time to infuse into the hair and scalp.

If you’ve never used a solid shampoo bar in your hair, you may wonder “how do I do that?” It’s easy. Just get your hair wet, take the bar and rub it all over your scalp and hair. Put the bar down and work it into a wonderful lather. You may find that the first time you use a shampoo/body bar in your hair it feels different. Using natural ingredients is not going to give you the same feeling chemically laden choices do because the natural oils are not being stripped away. In addition, your hair may require a transition process before it is fully free of all the other chemicals and residues from prior hair products. You can read more about this transition process HERE.
All of our Shampoo, Body and Facial full sized bars are 5oz in weight, with dimensions of 2.75H x 3.4W x 1D.

The scent is wonderful. The bar is very nourishing and leaves my hair soft. The best feature is the significance it made on my hair lose. I liked this product so much that I sent one to my sister.
fantastic! my curly hair is clean but not stripped and flyaway.
Love the luxurious cleansing foam of this bar. The scent is very pleasing. Thank You
This was a gift and well received. My friends use AVNS “exclusively” because they are all natural, great for skin and hair, also great for their septic system.
Excellent. Love the aroma
