Shampoo Bars | Reduce Plastic Use
One of my latest and favourite new eco adds to my lifestyle is shampoo bars!

I used to make my own shampoo years ago using the most awesome multi purpose soap - castile soap. But it was a bit of effort and didn't seem to suit my hair well back then.

Shampoo bars were totally new to me, until I tried out @teodora's awesome Lush one, when we were roomies at Steemfest3 :)

Since then, I was converted, but wanted to use up whatever bottled shampoos I had left at home. 

---

I was looking online for different choices and found lots of people selling their homemade shampoo soap bars on sites like Etsy and Ebay. And of course, there some options on Amazon and Lush, at fairly reasonable prices.

But one day, I went into a random Organic shop and fortunately for me, they stocked shampoo bars made in the UK!

What's crazy was they were only Β£2.30 each and one bar is meant to last about 3 months of use!

They're vegan, cruelty free, sls free, paraben free, plastic free and *much cheaper* than 1 bottle of any liquid shampoo you can find commercially, with the same qualities.

I also love that it's made in England, it's always great to support local businesses!

One other major benefit to using a shampoo bar is you don't need to worry about travelling with liquids, so they're perfect for travelling!!!

---

After switching from liquid shampoo to this, my hair felt very different, and felt more waxy. 

After a week of use, I experimented enough to know that I just need a good conditioner to counteract it.

I now have hair that stays non greasy for much longer! 

I will definitely try out different brands in the future, but for now, very happy with this new eco add to my lifestyle :)

Wow really? You guys are more eco conscious though, I'm sure you'll find places selling stuff like this over there right?

Or you could consider coming over again and stocking up :P

Yeah - I guess there will be brands! Couldn't find it while googling though, so will have to do some 'actual' shopping to see what I can find :D It's the price that makes it such a wonderful find!!! Heck, it's so cheap I can actually just come back to London soon just to buy them! :') Lol.

I’ve used some made from soap nuts (living naturally) which was really nice and made in the UK (however the export of soap nuts is a slight issue) but now Ive got some from Lush (Christmas present) I’m also using Lush’s deodorant bar.
I’m trying to reduce plastics too. Plastic is everywhere!!

Such a great way to reduce plastics I think. And ingredients in shampoo soap bars tend to be natural and much higher quality too, so win win! The Lush ones smell so good :) If I don't find anything better when mine runs out, will have to get Lush!

Oh, wow! I tend to buy a good 1l of Shampoo cause it just makes sense but never looked at the bar option. I love Lush and already use face moisturiser and the teeth tabs, will get the shampoo next time! By the way, if you ever like to come to B'ham, know that we have now the biggest and coolest Lush shop ever! I mean it!
