A while back, I was looking into ways to reduce plastic use in my house. One of the heaviest areas for single use plastic is definitely the bathroom, so I focused there. I knew that shampoo and conditioner bottles were a big waste, but I didn’t want to sacrifice amazing hair to achieve less plastic use. I had visions of greasy or claggy hair if I went for a non-plastic option. Then I found Ethique.
This New Zealand-owned brand makes solid shampoo and conditioner bars (among other things). The concentrated bars last longer than bottled shampoo, and really do give you soft, clean hair. This makes them a viable, cost-effective way to do a bit of good in your bathroom without committing to dreadlocks.
I started with a mini kit to test out the bars and was thrilled by the results. It takes a little while to get used to washing with a bar instead of liquid, but once you adapt it works just as well. I’ve recently purchased a full sized block of shampoo and conditioner, as well as a case to keep them in.
