You can have fabulous hair without making plastic waste.
Plastic is an environmental crisis to the tune of 450-million tons per year. Microplastics are in our bodies at increasingly alarming rates, contributing to increased cancer rates and fertility anomalies in humans. There’s a better way.
Some plastics are absolutely essential (think: medical equipment), but when it comes to having amazing hair, it’s possible to achieve that without causing environmental harm.
Both of our solid shampoo bars can be used all over the body, too, so if you’re traveling, just pack one bar!
We offer a complete line of plastic-free hair care:
Rosemary Avocado Shampoo Bar
Lavender Coconut Milk Shampoo Bar
Lavender Shea Conditioner Bar
Rose Geranium Shampoo Powder
Rose Geranium Conditioner Powder
Solid Shampoo & Conditioner
Rosemary Avocado Shampoo Bar, Lavender Coconut Milk Shampoo Bar, Lavender Shea Conditioner Bar
Hair Types: For all types, but especially suited for curly, dry, and untreated hair. Our bars are color safe, but color-treated hair should be washed less frequently.
Solid shampoos and solid conditioners are concentrated hair care in the form of a bar. Instead of diluting the product with water and then packing it in plastic, with solid hair care we can eliminate both the plastic and the water. The plastic is unnecessary waste; the water you can add directly in the shower. With these two out of the way, we can focus on the good stuff: plant oils and extracts that support hair and scalp health.
Eliminating water also reduces the cost and amount of carbon emissions used in shipping, because the bars weigh so much less.
Solid hair care takes some getting used to, especially if you have long or thick hair, but once you get the hang of it, it’s very simple. Make sure your hair is super soaked. Build up the lather. Expect less lather (we don’t use chemical foaming agents).
Here’s how to use it:
Rosemary Avocado Shampoo Bar
Botanicals: Avocado oil and Aloe Vera condition and soften. Hops Flowers and Rosemary promote scalp health and add shine.
Tip: If you have hard water, bar shampoo or conditioner can build up. To wash away residue and demineralize, use our powder shampoo.
Lavender Coconut Milk Shampoo Bar
Botanicals: Moisturizing Shea Butter and Coconut Milk condition and soften and leave hair shiny. Lavender and ylang ylang strengthen hair follicles and calm itchy scalps.
Tip: If you have hard water, bar shampoo or conditioner can build up. To wash away residue and demineralize, use our powder shampoo.
Lavender Shea Conditioner Bar
Botanicals: Omega-rich cocoa butter, jojoba oil, and shea butter nourish hair and scalp, while also adding shine and smoothness. Lavender stimulates the scalp and reduces itchiness. We use a palm-free rinsing agent in this bar that we formulated ourselves to avoid the palm oil–based agent found in most conditioners.
Tip: Make sure your hair is really soaked, so that the conditioner rubs off. The idea is that you are adding water to create a lotion directly on your hair.
Powder Shampoo & Conditioner
Rose Geranium Shampoo Powder, Rose Geranium Conditioner Powder
Hair types: For all hair types, but especially suited for fine or oily hair. Our powders are color safe, but color-treated hair should be washed less frequently.
Our powdered concentrates were designed to mimic the experience of liquid shampoo & conditioners. They activate in the palm of your hand to give you that lotion-y feel. For many, they’re an easier transition away from liquid shampoo than solid shampoo.
Here’s how to use them:
Start with ½ teaspoon of powder in your palm, add water, rub palms together and massage onto sopping wet hair. Add more powder as needed depending on the length of your hair.
Rose Geranium Shampoo Powder
Botanicals: Rose Geranium, Juniper, and Lavender balance the scalp and stimulate hair growth. We use a coconut-base to cleanse, which also clarifies any hard-water buildup. Rose Geranium is aromatherapeutic and promotes relaxation and optimism.
Tip: The lather doesn't have to be perfect in your hands. When you add it to your soaked hair, you'll be adding more water to the formula and the texture will get better and better.
Rose Geranium Conditioner Powder
Botanicals: Aloe, Olive Oil, and Marshmallow are softeners that also moisturize and detangle hair. Rose Geranium, Juniper, and Lavender balance the scalp and stimulate hair growth.
Tip: The lather doesn't have to be perfect in your hands. When you add it to your soaked hair, you'll be adding more water to the formula and the texture will get better and better.
More Low-Waste Hair Tips
Our face and body oil can be used as hair oil. Massage a couple drops into ends of dry hair as often as desired.
Use conditioner powder as a DIY hair mask. Mix with water, apply over your hair, leave for 5 minutes, and rinse. For more moisture, add a few drops of face or body oil into the mixture before applying.
