The problem

You've been washing the wrong layer.

Thinning rarely starts with your hair. It starts with the skin it grows from — buildup, irritation, a scalp barrier that has stopped doing its job. Most shampoos strip that barrier with sulfates, then sell you a conditioner to repair what they just did.

Nobody is treating the skin.

What's inside

Twelve botanicals, one clean base.

On sodium cocoyl glycinate — an amino-acid cleanser built from coconut, not a sulfate. It's why this doesn't leave your scalp squeaking.

The routine

Sixty seconds, every wash.

Three steps, and the middle one is the one that matters.

Apply to scalp

Apply to scalp

Wet your hair, then draw the bar along your scalp in rows, three or four passes each. Skip the lengths.

Work it in for 60 seconds

Work it in for 60 seconds

Fingertips, never nails. Set a timer the first few times, because a minute is longer than it feels.

Rinse and let it drain

Rinse and let it drain

Skip conditioner for the first two weeks while your scalp rebalances. Store the bar somewhere it can dry.

Chorok vs the alternatives

Why not just buy a bottle?

Liquid shampoo is roughly 80% water. You pay to ship it, then rinse it down the drain.

"My scalp was constantly tight and flaky and I knew that I needed change to my curl routine. Three weeks in it had settled completely. My hair feels different at the roots too."

Questions

Before you buy.

How long until I notice something?

Scalp comfort usually within one to two weeks — less itching, less tightness, less flaking. Density and texture take much longer, so give it three months. Hair grows on its own schedule and anyone promising visible regrowth in six weeks is selling you something.

Will it dry out my hair?

No. The cleanser is a gentle syndet rather than a sulfate, so it lifts buildup without stripping the oils your scalp makes on purpose. The first two washes can feel unfamiliar if you're coming off a silicone shampoo — that's the coating rinsing out, not damage.

Does it work for men and women?

Same bar, same formula. Buildup and barrier damage don't differ by gender. The reason people arrive differs — postpartum shedding, a receding hairline, a flaking scalp — but the starting problem is the same.

Is it safe on dyed or bleached hair?

Yes. Sulfates are the main driver of accelerated colour fade, and there aren't any in here. You apply it to the scalp rather than working it through the lengths, and the lengths are where your colour lives. The cleanser itself is pH-balanced rather than harsh.

How long does one bar last?

Between 30 and 40 washes, so just over a month for most people. Store it somewhere it can drain or it'll dissolve much faster.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Email us within 60 days and we refund you in full. You don't need to return the bar and we won't ask you why.
