Solid shampoo - have you tried ?

I've been using solid shampoo & conditioner for a few years now. They're as good as the usual products. I never stopped buying bar soap for bathrooms.

A friend is formulating a new shampoo bar with no sulfates or palm oil. I'm hoping to be asked to trial it!

I've been using one from eBay (lavender) for ages.
I've got horrible hair, so can't say anything other than it smells nice.
I've always used bar soap, because I'm too tight to pay out for shower gel.

I have had some from Lush and some I bought from ebay. I will stick to Lush as it made my hair squeaky clean and shiny. The other sort of left a heavy residue, though I did rinse my hair very well. I like the idea of them and will continue to try different ones. Just out of curiosity.

Good idea. I think I'll investigate this.

I get mine off Amazon used it for years.

You say you always use up the last bit of solid soap. I’m intrigued as I always end up with bits of soap too small to be of use. I put them in my knicker drawer to make them smell nice, but most of the nice smell has gone. So I end up with lots of rock hard bullets of old perfume less soap.?

I always use Dove 'soap' or cream bar as they call it, which is fine for my slightly oily skin. However, I tried a shampoo bar last year, don't remember the brand but not cheap, which left my hair looking and feeling like straw. Perhaps I should try the Lush one as others like it.

I use solid shampoo and conditioning bars with no problem. Also use soap instead of shower gel or hand wash although I do still put those out for anyone who prefers it. It is always the refillable natural ones though, bought from our local Reco store, as well as washing up liquid, washing powder (without fillers so you use much less) and lots of other eco friendly cleaning products as well as dried foods, spices etc. Also the natural Fitpit deodorant cream is amazing, it works really well and the woman in the shop says she can’t sell enough of it. These stores are becoming more popular round our area now.

I have bought one but not used it yet. I am using up the bottles first, but I thought it would be handy if I had to go on a flight and only needed to take hand luggage.

My DD uses Lush shampoo bars, and likes them. I brought her back some solid shampoo bars and soaps from a place in Sheringham. They smelled gorgeous and she says they are nice to use - wish I had bought myself some! I use Italian olive oil soap bars which are wonderful and last ages, even using them a few times a day. They don’t get rid of wrinkles though!?

I’ve been using Lush solid shampoo for years and years! Nothing new!

I have used solid shampoo and conditioner from Lush though didn’t use it often so kept forgetting which colour was which but it was fine. I went back to bottles, but solid is very practical as well as sensible plastic wise and you can take it on a plane as carry on.
Am also using solid soap.

Thanks GG13 will give that a try.

I use Lush solid purple conditioner and it is ok. I will try the solid shampoo when I have used up all the bottles I have already. I use bars of soap for hand washing and showering and there is something very satisfying about using up the last little bit of soap and knowing there is nothing to throw away.

Daughter uses Lush solid shampoo and conditioner, she has highlighted hair and it’s fine.

Not yet, although considering it once I know the implications for my coloured hair. We have switched to bar soap in the handbasins and shower though.

I also use any Lush shampoo bar. It's a bit expensive but goes a long way....

DH uses one from Lush - the blue one with sea kelp. He swears by it and his hair does feel very soft. I'm afraid I'm sticking with my purple shampoo to keep my highlights in check but have countered that with a move back to bar soap which I much prefer to shower gels.
