Regular shampoos and conditioners are an alphabet soup of manufactured ingredients like preservatives, fragrance oils, and other synthetics that cause dryness by pulling moisture from your hair and scalp, make your hair brittle and irritate your skin.

The natural ingredients in our bars provide moisture, repair damaged hair, and boost shine and strength.

As an added bonus: they’re great for oily and flaky scalps, which is one of my favorite benefits of using this product because it solves a problem I’ve always had and could never find a solution to, until now.  

No harsh chemicals

Bigger companies use harsh chemicals in their shampoos and conditioners bars. 

 

They strip moisture by removing naturally occurring oils, and allow more damage to occur, but bigger shampoo and conditioner companies continue to put them in their products because they’re cheap, easy to use, and if your hair remains damaged, they can keep you coming back to spend $30+ per bottle on their product instead of one that helps.

Now, here’s the deal: at EcoRoots, we want you and your hair to feel happy, healthy, and beautiful.

We use natural oils that contain vitamins and moisturizing properties, plant extracts, rose water, and other great, that help us create shampoo and conditioner bars that are not only better for you, but they’re also great for the environment, travel-friendly, and totally plastic-free.

The list goes on! No matter what hair type, style, or color you’re rocking, these bars will leave your hair and scalp feeling silky soft and amazingly clean!

How to use them

 

zero waste shampoo bar

 

You might be wondering: how do you use shampoos and conditioners that come in bars instead of bottles?

Lucky for you (and me, and all the other eco-friendly Earth warriors out there), it’s incredibly simple.

1. You can use the bars directly on your hair once it’s wet, or you can wet the bar and rub it in your hands until it’s lathered enough to comb through your hair with your fingers. If you choose to go with the first technique and rub the bar directly into your hair, here’s the best way to do it: wet your hair, gently rub the bar directly onto your hair in a combing motion from your scalp to the ends, make sure you’ve covered each section, gently massage your scalp and hair to make it lather (the more lather, the better. This pulls all of the dirt and oil out), and rinse thoroughly.

2. If you prefer technique number two and would rather create the lather in your hands first, follow these steps: wet your hair, wet the bar, rub the bar between your hands until it has lathered up enough, use your fingers as a comb to smooth the lather along your hair from your scalp to the ends and massage it in to lather, even more, then rinse it all out.

This second option may be easier at first until you get used to the different consistency of the bars compared to liquid shampoo and conditioner out of bottles.

There may be a short adjustment period in the beginning, but believe me, it’s worth it!

How to store them

When you’re done with the bars for the day, just shake off the extra water, leave them out on a shower shelf to air dry, and they’ll be ready for their next use.

You could also buy a sustainable bamboo soap dish to put them on or a tin to use as their bed so you know that they will stay dry and out of the way if you’re worried about leaving them on a wet shower shelf.

Shaking off the extra water or gently drying the bars with the corner of a towel will ensure that the bars stay solid and don’t stick to the surface you’re leaving them on.

These are all great options for shampoo and conditioner bar storage, and the best way to pick one is to try it out and see what works best for you and your bars.

However you choose to store your bars, they won’t take up anywhere near as much space as a normal shampoo and conditioner bottles do, and they will last up to 75 washes each (50 to 75 is the range we usually give), which is incredibly impressive for their compact 2.25 oz size!  

Your zero-waste and plastic-free options

They even look like they’re made of exotic pink sand!

With hints of tropical coconut, warm caramel, sweet vanilla, and fresh cherries, these bars will make you feel like you’re living out a wonderful, warm, sweet summer day, no matter where you are or what time of year it is.

 

Because they contain coconut oil, sunflower oil, rose water, and vitamin B, they’re also great for adding moisture, reversing hair damage caused by free radicals, healing sensitive scalp skin, and adding shine and moisture.

This shampoo and conditioner combination is one of our favorite.

You can use it every day, and it’s the one we recommend to anyone who loves sweet scents, summer breezes, and silky, soft hair.

A hint of lemon lightens them up and makes them feel even cleaner, and the slight musk that you get from the Moroccan oil makes them great unisex bars.

The coconut oil, Moroccan oil, and pro-vitamin complex with lemon peel will provide moisture without weight, repair damaged strands, and add strength and shine.

This is the pair that we recommend for anyone who plans on sharing, or just wants something with a lighter scent.

The darker, unique brown color would also look great in any bathroom.

They’re a gorgeous green color and they look like a lighter, circular lime, but we don’t recommend eating them.

The coconut oil and lemon peel in these bars will help to nourish your scalp, and the vitamin C and lime oil help fight dryness.

Their natural ingredients make them safe for everyday use.

The coconut oil in these bars will deeply moisturize your hair without making it heavy, grapefruit extract purifies to help promote hair growth and combat dryness along with the coconut oil, and the pro-vitamin complex and lemon peel will make your hair shiny and strong.

Like all of the other bars, they’re great for any hair type, but these ones are particularly great for adding strength, growth, and moisture, so we usually recommend this pair to anyone looking for more of those characteristics.

Environmental benefits of zero waste shampoo bars & conditioners 

Now, we know these bars are great for all hair types, fun, easy to use, made with natural ingredients, last longer than typical bottles, won’t leak in your luggage when you’re traveling, and they smell fantastic, but it gets better: these zero-waste, plastic-free products can help us save the environment.

 

zero waste shampoo conditioner hair care

 

It takes up to 1,000 years for one plastic bottle to decompose, and as they’re breaking down, they’re leaking harmful chemicals into the ground.

 

zero waste hair care

Research studies revealed that in the U.S. alone, more than 552 million bottles of shampoo and conditioner could be ending up in landfills each year.

That’s enough to fill 1,164 football fields, and plastic bottles in our oceans are set to outnumber the fish by 2050.

I don’t know about you, but we were astonished by these numbers, and at EcoRoots we want to do anything we can to reduce plastic waste and contribute to a cleaner, healthier planet.

Shampoo and conditioner bars work even better than their counterparts, and they don’t contribute to waste in landfills or oceans, so there’s nothing to lose in trying one.

Even better: try them all and see which one works best for your scalp and hair type, then recommend them to all of your beautiful, eco-friendly friends!
