WHAT IT IS FOR
For a greasy, flaky scalp and tired-looking hair.
A deep-cleansing black soap for the scalp and hair of men and women. Best suited to normal and oily scalps. It is a cosmetic, not a remedy: for hair loss or a scalp condition, see a doctor or dermatologist.
A scalp that gets greasy fast
Lifts excess sebum and product build-up from the roots, so hair stays fresh for longer between washes.
Visible flakes and build-up
Washes away visible flakes and residue. The scalp feels clean, light and comfortable after rinsing.
Dull, brittle hair
Castor oil conditions as it cleans: hair feels stronger and smoother, breaks less when combed and looks glossier.
Flat, thin-looking roots
Clean roots lift. Hair looks fuller and denser from the first wash.

QUESTIONS
Useful answers, clearly stated.
What is the soap for?
For washing the scalp and hair. It is made for people whose scalp gets greasy quickly, who see visible flakes or build-up, and whose hair looks flat, dull or thin at the root. It deep-cleanses the scalp, washes away visible flakes and residue, and leaves hair looking fuller and glossier.
Who is it for?
Men and women with a normal to oily scalp. If your scalp is very dry or sensitive, patch-test first and use it less often, alternating with a mild shampoo.
Will it help with hair loss?
Honest answer: AL FAJR is a cosmetic soap, not a medicine. It keeps the scalp clean and cares for the hair you have. Hair looks fuller and breaks less, but it is not a remedy for hair loss, alopecia or any scalp condition. If you are losing hair, see a doctor or dermatologist.
What does usma do in the soap?
Usma (Isatis tinctoria, also known as woad) is the plant Central Asian families have traditionally used in hair and brow care for generations. In AL FAJR it is combined with ginger, castor oil and seven further plants in a dark botanical cleanser. Castor oil is a classic hair conditioner; ginger gives the lather a fresh, warm feel on the scalp.
When will I see a difference?
A cleaner, lighter scalp and fuller-looking roots from the first wash. Softer, glossier hair builds up over a few weeks of regular use.
What is usma?
Usma is the common name used here for Isatis tinctoria, also known as woad, a featured botanical in the soap.

One 293 g soap (a quarter of a loaf) costs €30, half a loaf with two soaps costs €50, and the whole four-soap loaf costs €100.
Where do you ship from?
