OK that's not a good look for people trying to reduce their plastic in life. So what are the options for us to change? The obvious one is replacing shower gel with bars of soap, ok we can do that, but how can we replace the shampoo and conditioner? The first thing we're trying is a shampoo bar from Amazon (
J.R. Liggett's, Shampoo Bar, Virgin Coconut & Argan Oil), looks great and I'm feeling very virtuous but at £11.99 we're hoping their promise of lasting longer than shampoo bottles will turn out to the true.
It comes in a paper covering, ok all good so far, and smells... well it doesn't really smell of much so i'm not sure if that's good or bad. The problem is that it's not easy to get any lathering from it, my 8 year old daughter can't get anything off it without my help. As much as I want this to work, the washing experience is harder work. Despite the promise of all natural ingredients being kinder and less drying on my frizz-ball hair, my hair seems tangly and my arms are aching from the effort. Let's try some other bars and see how we get on.

Hi!
ReplyDeleteI’ve been using a brand called Funky Soap - they do lots of shampoo bars, packaged in paper. I use the coffee one for dark hair and I really like it, it lathers up easily and even though I have long hair I don’t need to use conditioner with this bar.
