Shampoo bars have been around for several decades now. Though earlier they were mostly popular with campers and trekkers, today, more and more people are choosing shampoo bars over bottles. There are many good reasons to use a shampoo bar, and here are some of them.
Small and Convenient
For most people, their bathroom counters and shelves are crowded with a plethora of products in bottles, pots and jars. By choosing to use a bar shampoo, you can reduce the space that a bottle of shampoo would have otherwise occupied. The bar can be kept in a small tin case.
Due to its size and shape, the shampoo bar is easy to use. You do not have to worry about handling a shampoo bottle or about squirting out more product than you need. The simplicity and brilliance of the bar makes it easy to use, over and again. A single bar can give you about 80 washes. This exceeds the shampoos you will get out of a single bottle.
When you travel, the humble but mighty shampoo bar will take up far less space than its alternative, the plastic bottle. This leaves you more space to pack another dress or a pair of shoes. You will also not have to worry about spilling shampoo or messing up your luggage.
Environment Friendly
Every time you throw out a shampoo bottle, it is more likely to make its way to the landfill than to a recycling unit. And in the landfill the plastics are broken down into micro plastics that pollute the land and water. Researchers estimate that the average person will use as many as 800 shampoo bottles in their lifetime. By choosing to use shampoo bars, you can reduce the plastic you throw out and help protect the environment.
Great for Your Hair
When shopping for a shampoo bar, do look for products that will suit your hair type. While most bar shampoos use organic and natural ingredients, it is important that you pay attention to the ingredients listed on the packaging. A quick online survey should reveal brands and products that would suit your hair, and any conditions, such as dandruff and dryness, that you may experience.
Some common cleansing agents used in bar shampoos include tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar and baking soda. Most brands that offer shampoo bars use essential oils that are antibacterial and antifungal. These essential oils also offer other benefits. For instance, lavender helps soothe irritation, and citrus oils energize the senses.
