As a shampoo, I am puzzled by all the claims I had heard online about castile soap/saponified oil being drying to the hair, and I suspect that many of the people making those claims either haven't tried it and are just perpetuating the general misconception, or maybe they are using it wrong (I'll explain why I think that). Curly hair is generally more dry, and harder to keep conditioned, than straight hair, and mine is no exception. I find using this soap as shampoo is actually much LESS drying to my hair than other types of shampoo. A little known fact is that the ingredients that clean your hair in normal shampoos don't lather either. You get the impression as you are washing your hair that you are getting your hair really super clean because you are getting a nice thick rich lather, but in reality, the lather is not what is doing the cleaning, and to a small degree, lathering agents actually prevent detergent agents from working as well as they otherwise would. Normal shampoos have harsher detergent agents than this soap because of that effect, and because of the types of ingredients in normal conditioners(read on). Not all, but many, of these ingredients coat your hair and supposedly make it seem incredibly silky and shiny and beautiful and glorious and on and on (and cone leave-ins really give you this effect), but what they also do is keep the natural oils, from your scalp, and any other moisturizing products you may use, from actually getting into your hair, so you get on this cycle of stripping your hair with a normal shampoo, then coating your hair with a normal conditioner, then stripping then coating then stripping, etc., and your hair is getting drier and drier. The harsh detergents in normal shampoos can handle stripping the normal conditioners from your hair with one washing, but this shampoo is much gentler and probably won't. This is what I think people are doing wrong when they think this hair is drying their hair out. They think it's this shampoo, but it's really their conditioner, that is causing their hair to be dry. (Personally, I don't use a conditioner, I wash my hair and then when I am out of the shower I massage a nickel sized amount of light or extra virgin olive oil into my hair. I've been doing that for a very long time, even when I was still using normal shampoo, and It has never made my hair feel oily. On days when I don't shampoo which is about 6 days out of 7, I just rinse my hair in the shower and if my hair seems dry when I get out, I will add a tiny amount more. This doesn't weigh my hair down either, like I said, my hair is curly and it still pops up in spontaneous ringlets) (I get my olive oil in a gigantic bottle from walmart that costs me all of around $1.62.). Quite a while ago, I added a comment to this review including, among other things, clarifying some thing you need to know when considering using olive oil on your hair, and I wanted to paste that here. Extra virgin olive oil is the opposite of extra light olive oil. You can tell how heavy an olive oil is by its color, EVOO is green and extra light olive oil is clear. The 'spectrum', getting lighter in thickness/weight and lighter in color from green to clear is; EVOO, virgin olive oil, pure olive oil, light olive oil, extra light olive oil. If you want to try olive oil, maybe start at pure olive oil and move up or down, depending on how dry/oily or thick/fine your hair is. What HAS changed is that I no longer use olive oil on my hair, I now use coconut oil, and I only use it every other day. I do this because for one I like the scent a little better, but also because coconut oil is solid at room temperature, which means that instead of pouring liquid olive oil into your hand and juggling with that, you just take like a butter knife and get some solid olive oil out of a jar."
"I love peppermint in my bath soap and this stuff is excellent!"
"Seriously, he LOVES it."
"I first started using this soap years ago when I was in college."
"I was disgusted by the idea of buying someone else's shower soap and this particular one looked like it had gone bad (unaware that was how it naturally looked). A few months went by and neither one of us had the courage to use it until one day we realized we were out of bar soap, hand soap, and shower gel."
"It will give your skin a cool, tingly sensation (especially in the private areas)."
"I use this for everything - dishes, laundry, cleaning walls, showers and mopping floors, and in the garden against bugs!"
"I had my brother and his in law over for the weekend....during breakfast both of them inquired about the soap they used this morning."

"These Dove bars also leave my skin feeling somewhat soft after showering with these Dove bars."

The reviews were supremely positive and the main thing that caught my eye was how many people were stating that this soap left their skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated."
"There is a subtle scent, a nice lather, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and hydrated."
"I had looked at Puracy before but didn't think a combination of citrus and sea salt would work for my dry, sensitive skin but, I had kept coming back to look at it again so I finally decided, "Why not try?". For those who have very sensitive, dry, itchy skin like me, I very highly recommend Puracy 100% Natural Body Wash."
"I also don't notice my skin being any drier after using this than the body wash with moisturizer ribbons that I was using prior to this."
"My sister suggested I use this body wash since her son uses it without issues and he is allergic and highly sensitive to many foods and products."
"The wonderful thing is that I have noticed an improvement in the condition of my skin, less dry and scaly, as I have experienced with other products claiming to be for sensitive skin."
"This is a very gentle cleanser that is sodium lauryl & sodium laureth sulfate free."
"This is a very good product - my wife and I have been using it for over a week now and like the pleasant citrus smell and like the hand and body cream this is not a very strong product like other soaps and lotions."
