Why switch to a shampoo bar?
If you’re considering switching up your hair care routine, opting for a bar-based shampoo could be your next life-altering beauty choice. Why? Well, aside from the fact that these ultra-concentrated bars are packed with strand-loving ingredients (think lots of nourishing oils), they also are here to massively impact the environment (in a good way). Saving bottles and bottles of excess plastic going into production (with one bar often equalling two to three bottles), the mini-but-mighty bars might just be our way forward on an eco-friendly journey.
