Whether you’re aiming to reduce plastic waste, switch to products with fewer chemicals, or find a shampoo that’s gentler on sensitive skin, a natural solid shampoo bar can be the perfect solution. These eco-friendly alternatives not only help you embrace a more sustainable lifestyle but also offer a healthier option for your hair care routine.
Follow along to uncover everything you need to know about shampoo bars and how you can make the switch today!
Shampoo bars combine all the cleansing benefits of traditional shampoo into a solid form. While they may look like ordinary soap bars, they pack a powerful punch when it comes to hair care—without the plastic packaging. Here are some key benefits of making the switch:
One of the biggest advantages of our shampoo bars is their use of natural ingredients. Unlike mainstream liquid shampoos, which often contain harsh chemicals such as sulfates, parabens, and silicones, our shampoo bars are created with 100% toxins-free ingredients.
By opting for natural shampoo bars, you not only avoid these harmful substances but also nourish your hair with beneficial ingredients. Plus, many shampoo bar lovers find they no longer need conditioner, as natural bars do not strip the hair of its natural oils. However, if you have dry hair, consider pairing your shampoo bar with a natural conditioner bar for optimal hydration.
Did you know that over 80 billion shampoo and conditioner bottles are discarded every year? This staggering statistic highlights the environmental impact of traditional liquid hair care products.
Shampoo bars, on the other hand, come in cardboard boxes, meaning they are plastic-free. High five for reducing waste and protecting our planet
Liquid shampoos are primarily made of water, which accounts for 80-90% of the product. Yep, that is very expensive H2O we are paying for.
Shampoo bars are water-free containing the pure concentrated active ingredients. One bar can replace three to six plastic bottles of shampoo bars saving you a lot of money too!
Shampoo bars are compact and travel-friendly. Instead of lugging around a bulky shampoo bottle, simply tuck your bar into a travel tin and take it anywhere. Whether you’re hitting the gym or heading off on vacation, you can enjoy a natural, plastic-free shampoo without worrying about spills in your luggage.
When you transition from conventional shampoo to a natural shampoo bar, you may experience an adjustment period largely due to the synthetic ingredients found in your previous hair care products (similar to what many experience when switching to natural deodorants). Regular shampoos often contain harsh detergents and surfactants to remove dirt and product buildup. However, these chemicals can also strip away the natural oils produced by your scalp, leaving your hair dry and brittle. Conditioners typically replenish these lost oils, but they often include silicones that coat the hair shaft, creating a false sense of softness and health.
This transition typically takes 2-4 weeks, but the results—a clean, soft, and shiny mane—are well worth it!
The way you wash your hair with a natural shampoo bar is crucial for achieving the best results during the transition period:
