Aleppo soap for hair: complete guide according to your hair type

More and more people are turning to Aleppo soap to replace their conventional shampoo. Free of sulfates, silicones, and harsh preservatives, it cleans gently while respecting the natural balance of the scalp.

Which Aleppo soap to choose according to your hair type?

Oily hair and scalp prone to oiliness

Aleppo Soap 35% Laurel: its laurel oil content effectively regulates sebum production and fights against oily dandruff.

Normal to combination hair

Aleppo Soap 20% Laurel: the perfect balance for regular cleansing without over-drying. Ideal for starting your hair transition.

Dry, curly, or color-treated hair

Pure Olive Aleppo Soap: very rich in oleic acid, it deeply nourishes dehydrated hair without weighing it down.

Scalp prone to dandruff

Aleppo Soap 35% Laurel: the antifungal properties of laurel oil act directly on Malassezia furfur, the yeast responsible for dandruff.

The acidic rinse — essential at the beginning

Aleppo soap has an alkaline pH (9-10). An acidic rinse after shampooing closes hair cuticles and provides shine.

Recipe: 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar + 250 ml of cold water + a few drops of Al Bara rose water. Pour onto hair, leave for 30 seconds, do not rinse. The smell completely disappears as it dries.

The hair transition period

The first 2 to 6 weeks can seem disorienting: your hair is getting used to the absence of sulfates. The scalp rebalances its sebum production. This phase is normal and temporary.

Frequently asked questions

Can Aleppo soap dry out hair?

Without an acidic rinse, cuticles remain open and hair appears dull. Apple cider vinegar almost systematically solves this problem.

Can it be used on color-treated hair?

Yes. Unlike sulfates, Aleppo soap does not damage color. Opt for 20% Laurel or Pure Olive.
