Myrtle Shampoo Bar – Oily Hair – Men – Prophet – 75g

Why Prophet?

The prophet archetype in the biblical tradition is one of clarity and discernment — someone who cuts through confusion and names what is actually happening. Hyssop, one of the key ingredients in this bar, appears more frequently in Scripture than almost any other plant. It was used in purification rituals, in the Passover, and in Psalm 51 — David’s prayer of cleansing. It is an ingredient with a deep association with clearing away what should not be there. That is precisely what the Prophet bar was designed to do for your scalp.

What Is the Myrtle Prophet Bar?

A solid shampoo bar for oily hair, built around activated charcoal as the primary cleansing agent. Charcoal cleansing works through adsorption — it binds to excess oil, product build-up, and environmental residue at the scalp surface and lifts them away without the acid mantle disruption that sulphate-based shampoos cause. The result is a thorough cleanse that does not trigger the rebound oiliness that follows a harsh wash. It works on hair, scalp, face, and beard. Here is what every ingredient in the Myrtle range actually does.

What’s In It

The Prophet bar is built around activated charcoal for deep scalp detoxification, cedarwood essential oil to balance sebum production and soothe the scalp, hyssop essential oil — a biblical purification herb with genuine antimicrobial and clarifying properties — and mango butter to condition without heaviness. Hydrolysed jojoba protein strengthens the hair shaft and improves manageability. The sulphate-free base ensures a thorough cleanse without triggering rebound oil production. For the full breakdown of every ingredient, see the ingredient list below.

Who It’s For

The right bar if you:

• Have oily hair or scalp — greasy within a day or two of washing, flat at the roots
• Find conventional shampoos make the oiliness worse over time rather than better
• Deal with product build-up from styling products, dry shampoo, or hard water
• Have oily skin as well — the bar works as a face wash and beard wash for the same reason it works on the scalp
• Want a formula with no synthetic fragrance and no sulphates — the cedarwood gives a clean, grounded scent from essential oil only

How to Use

If your scalp is used to frequent washing with sulphate shampoos, give it two to three weeks to regulate after switching. Oil production will reduce over time.

• Wet hair thoroughly, then rub the bar onto the scalp or lather between palms.
• Focus on the scalp — the lengths need less attention than the roots.
• Rinse thoroughly — activated charcoal rinses clean but complete rinsing matters.
• For face and beard, lather between wet hands and apply. Rinse well.
• Follow with the Myrtle Prophet Conditioner Bar on the lengths only — avoid conditioning the scalp directly if oiliness is your primary concern.

Complete the Routine

Use the Myrtle Prophet Conditioner Bar on the mid-lengths and ends only — not the scalp. Add the Myrtle Hair Growth Oil — Men as a lightweight between-wash scalp treatment if follicle support is also a priority.
