What does a solid organic shampoo change?
A healthy, natural composition ... and certified efficacy!
For the moment spared by the giant retailers, solid shampoos are among the most ecological and organic shampoos on the current market. If the pretty brands of natural solid shampoos multiply at great speed, they do for the majority and for our greatest happiness, proof of a total transparency vis-à-vis their ingredients: minimalism and organic, just what you need, where you need it! Respect for our health and for the planet which goes hand in hand with great efficiency. Because unlike “classic” liquid shampoos composed of a lot of water (not to mention the irritating sulfates, stifling silicones and polymers and other controversial treats), organic solid shampoo, by definition is dry and therefore a real concentrate of natural active ingredients whose benefits are no longer to be proven: essential oils, vegetable oils …. A return to basics, ultimately essential!
An ecological gesture ... but also an economic one!
It's simple: no more liquid shampoo, no more polluting plastic containers! Without forgetting, that the natural composition of organic solid shampoos does not pollute our water tables. But it costs more, right? Yes and no: when buying a solid shampoo is sometimes more expensive than a liquid shampoo, it turns out to be much more economical to use. If some brands advance a more or less precise lifespan of their solid shampoos (equivalent to 2 or 3 bottles of liquid shampoo, 30 or 50 shampoos, etc.), one thing is certain, a solid shampoo lasts much longer than a bottle of liquid shampoo! The reason ? We tend to be heavy handed and use a lot more liquid shampoo than necessary. A bad habit quickly forgotten with solid shampoos that foam enough in a few back and forth between the hands so as not to have to come back to it.
A practical format to take everywhere with you
Due to its small size, the solid shampoo is easy to take with you and turns out to be a companion of choice when traveling (the one who never had to throw a liquid product at airport security) the hand !). However, it will require a suitable container and be very dry before being stored in its box, otherwise it will melt like snow in the sun or fall apart! Some brands sell small transport boxes made of iron, others made of plastic (recycled, it's better!) Or bamboo. They are infinitely reusable! The vegan hair care brand Cut by Fred even sells two solid shampoos in stick version, a new, ingenious and refillable format.
How to use a solid organic shampoo?
Brush your hair before shampooing
We often forget it, but this step is essential to untangle your hair and rid the hair fiber of dust. Liquid or solid, organic shampoos have - sometimes - a tendency not to untangle hair as effectively as classic shampoos stuffed with silicones which gain and suffocate the fiber in the long term ... A small price to pay for more reasoned beauty!
Wet your hair thoroughly and your solid shampoo
As with a classic soap, lather your solid shampoo between your hands and then gently massage the scalp with the palms of your hands. Some prefer to massage the bread directly on the scalp. Up to you ! No need to worry about your lengths, they will be washed with rinsing and this will prevent you from tangling them in the process.
Rinse thoroughly and let your shampoo dry
Remember to dry your solid shampoo properly to avoid letting it soften on the edge of the tub: a soap dish is perfect for that! A single shampoo is enough for healthy and silky hair in a jiffy!
