Such a composition turns the product into a powerful antiseptic, which nature itself gave us. It perfectly destroys bacteria, relieves inflammation.

Possible harm and contraindications
It is worth talking right away about the benefits and harms of such an unusual natural natural hair care product. Soap with tar in the composition can only harm human health or appearance if it is used incorrectly. For example, the constant use of such a tool instead of the usual everyday shampoo to wash your curls will soon lead to excessive dryness of hairs and skin.

After the first hair wash with tar soap, it may seem that the appearance of the hair only worsened. But this is a temporary effect. This is the reaction to new substances. It happens that curls even lose their volume and begin to get dirty faster. Changes need to wait until the next wash. Correct the situation will also allow the use of a balm or conditioner after each procedure.
