We tell you everything you wanted to know about solid shampoo. In our special topic “Sustainable Lifestyle” we like to talk not only about all kinds of eco-friendly life hacks but also about beauty tricks that you have not heard about before. So, for example, our article was recently published about crystal deodorant, which lasts more than a year. It’s time to introduce you to eco-friendly shampoo.
So, what is a solid shampoo, what is the catch and how did it happen that all lovers of the “green” lifestyle choose it?
What Is A Solid Shampoo?
Solid shampoo is still the same as regular shampoo, but it does not contain any preservatives or water. All because it is sold in blocks. Therefore, its shelf life is extended.
Everything is pretty simple.
How to use solid shampoo
It’s even easier here! Here’s how to properly use solid shampoo:
- Wet your hair well with warm water.
- Lather the shampoo in your hands as if you were lathering regular soap.
- Apply the foam to the scalp
- Spread it well on the scalp, massage.
- Wash off the foam.
And don’t forget to properly care for your shampoo. After application, let it dry, and then place it in a special container or a regular soapbox.
How to choose a solid shampoo for hair
First, we choose based on the “wishes” of the scalp. This is the most important thing to remember when buying a solid shampoo.
You will not believe it, but any such shampoo will be ideal for oily scalp. It perfectly copes with the washing out of sebum and various impurities. Shampoos with natural mud, white or blue clay, charcoal is best suited. You will also be pleasantly surprised by the oils of jojoba, rosemary, lemon, grapefruit, and tea tree in the composition. They suit your skin the best.
This shampoo is also suitable for owners of completely normal skin. If you have no discomfort while using a solid shampoo, use it for your health. Look for shampoos with extracts of sage and calendula, as well as cedar oil and jojoba oil.
If you have a dry scalp, look for a special solid shampoo for your needs. These also already exist. Look for shampoos with oils – coconut and burdock, as well as soothing extracts – chamomile, calendula, sage.
Benefits of Solid Shampoos
- Economically. This shampoo will last for four months, and for some – even for six months. Do you imagine? For six months you won’t have to buy shampoo, and 100% it won’t run out at the most inopportune moment.
- Eco-friendly. The solid shampoo does not leave behind plastic packaging, the processing of which raises some questions. It is usually packaged in paper bags or in reusable containers in which it can be stored, like in a soap dish.
- Healthy. The natural ingredients in shampoo that benefit the scalp are best preserved in this solid-state. And there are no preservatives in solid shampoo, so it rarely causes allergies.
- Conveniently. This. Shampoo. Little. How. Soap. This shampoo is as small as soap! You no longer need to pour shampoo into some pathetic travel jar, just put the bar in the soap dish, and the soap dish in the cosmetic bag. Ready!
Disadvantages of Solid Shampoos
- Beware of allergies! These shampoos contain a lot of essential oils, so if you suffer from allergies, choose bars without them in the composition. Of course, you’ll have to look, you can’t argue.
- Not for fans of hot styling. Solid shampoo often makes hair frizzy. Therefore, either use a balm with it, or refuse to use it.
- You have to choose according to your skin type. This tool should be selected, taking into account the characteristics of your skin, and not just by sniffing your favorite bar in the store.
Whether or not to use solid shampoo is up to you. But we advise you to take a closer look at them.
