Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Shampoo Bars
Does the shampoo bar lather?
This is the first question we ask ourselves when formulating, because we want to make sure you still get a good lather when using the shampoo bar. The answer is: yes, we make sure you get lots of lather and the same feeling you get from a bottle of shampoo.
Why are shampoo bars better for the environment?
Let’s start with plastic consumption, a topic that’s in the media spotlight, as a lot of it ends up in the oceans and clogging our planet every year. Even though the bar is held together by a thin layer of plastic, it uses 98% less compared to the bottle! This is a big reason why we urge people to #DitchTheBottle.
In addition, the space saved means a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Think of it this way: if one delivery truck is filled with shampoo bars, you’d need 15 delivery trucks to transport the same number of shampoo bottles. So this compact design offers additional environmental benefits that aren’t often considered. You can read more about how to reduce plastic consumption and the damage it’s causing to the world on Solar Impulse.
Can I use shampoo bars on color treated hair?
Yes, in fact, most people find that shampoo bars for color treated hair are significantly better than traditional shampoo bottles. Although this has been proven and proven, we know that everyone is different, so we recommend testing a small amount first.
Do shampoo bars work for thin hair?
Yes, of course, if you have thin hair, you won’t have any problems at all. Shampoo bars are suitable for all hair types.
What is the difference between shampoo bars and liquid shampoo?
The main difference is the reduction in carbon footprint and plastic consumption. Shampoo bars also contain fewer preservatives, as there are fewer and fewer preservatives in solid forms. They also don’t strip the color from the hair and ensure that the hair color lasts longer. Plus, shampoo bars can be stored and transported, saving space, and you don’t have to worry about it leaking, being taken out, or being too heavy, whether you’re going on vacation or attending a festival. But if you want more reasons to change, check out National Geographic’s description of why it’s time to make a change.
Why are shampoo bars so popular?
The fact is there for everyone to see, you won’t see any deterioration in results if you use a non-liquid form. The benefits have been highlighted above and include environmental reasons, quality reasons and removing unwanted ingredients from the bottle. 552 million empty plastic shampoo bottles are thrown away every year so the reason to look for alternatives is obvious.
Do I still need to use conditioner if I use a shampoo bar?
You can use conditioner if you need to. However, one of the benefits of a shampoo bar is that it doesn’t extract all the natural oils from your hair like a bottle of shampoo does, as they are petroleum-based. This means that your scalp doesn’t need moisturizing conditioner. Also, your hair is less likely to get tangled when you use a comb, so less conditioner may be needed for this purpose.
How do I use a shampoo bar?
It’s simple, just like using a shampoo bottle, just rub it into your hair when needed. It will lather up quickly whether you rub it into your hands or directly onto your head. We generally recommend rubbing it directly onto your head.
Can I take shampoo bars on board in my hand luggage?
Yes, you can. One of the most frustrating aspects of flying is making sure all your liquids are under 100ml. You have three options: buy a large bottle of shampoo and pay to bring it on board; buy a small shampoo bottle that you can only use once and can put in your hand luggage; or pack no shampoo bottles at all and hope that you will buy there or that the hotel provides decent shampoo. However, now we can offer another option: solid shampoo bars are considered solid, which means you can pack as many shampoos as you want without having to take them out or worry about them leaking in your bag.
