Stinging Nettle Shampoo - A Testimony

At Pip & Lola's we love to have feedback from you!  One of our favorite people sent us a message about how the Stinging Nettle Shampoo Bar works for her.  We loved the story so much we wanted to share it with everyone else.

"I started using Pip & Lola’s Nettle shampoo about a year ago. I had been using other Pip &Lola soaps for about a year, and really wanted to try a bar shampoo. I have seborrheic dermatitis, which is sort of like dandruff on steroids. I had to use a coal tar shampoo (which smells like sheep dip) for about a year before I got control of the condition. Once I got the dermatitis under control, I was able to use some other shampoos most of the time, BUT about once every week or three, I had to break out the “sheep dip” to clear up my scalp.

I had been using the nettle shampoo for about 3 months when I realized that I had not needed the “sheep dip.” Since I started using Pip and Lola’s nettle shampoo, I have used sheep dip exactly once—in the fall, when the weather changed. Since weather and seasonal changes are the times I am most likely to have an outbreak, I expected to need the sheep dip when winter weather started, and again when we went south to sunny California. Nope. And thus far this spring, I have had not a single twinge of seborrheic dermatitis.

Added bonus: I also love the way the shampoo lathers up, the way it feels on my scalp, and the way it just smells neutral and fresh.


Another added bonus: my husband is a dandruff sufferer. Neither Head and Shoulders nor H & S copycat shampoos have been as effective for him as the nettle shampoo. I am sending a bar to my brother, who has seborrheic dermatitis in his eyebrows, since he has no hair on his head. We’ll see if it works as well for him!"


We cannot begin to explain how happy this makes us that our soap has made such a major change in someone's life! Thank you, Virginia, for sharing this!

If you have a Pip & Lola story, comment, or testimony you would like to share we would love to hear from you. Please feel free to send us a message on our Facebook page or to our e-mail address.
