For the past few years, the zero waste trend has been more than ever at the center of our concerns, particularly with regard to cosmetics. In fact, the majority of our beauty products are made up of superfluous packaging that goes directly to the trash. According to Planetoscope, in France, 5 shampoos are sold every second, or 476,000 plastic bottles per day. A really harmful material for our friend the planet.
Whether you have normal, oily or dry hair, solid shampoos are suitable for all hair types. Focus on the most effective solid shampoos on the beauty market (according to our opinion and advice).

Why and how to use a solid shampoo?
To properly use your solid shampoo, simply pass the bar of soap under water, rub it between your hands to create a voluptuous foam and then come and apply it to your hair well moistened. It is also possible to rub the bread directly on your skull using circular movements, then distribute the product evenly using your fingers. Massage your scalp for a few minutes using the fingertips to remove impurities while softening the latter by activating the blood circulation.
Economically speaking, using a solid shampoo will last you much longer than a liquid version. Indeed, it allows you to make on average between 40 to 50 shampoos, the equivalent of 2 bottles of classic 250ml shampoos. Although it is often slightly more expensive, it is a purchase that you will pay for in the long term.
In terms of ecology, here too the solid format wins the gold medal. Often sold in cardboard packaging, it does not pollute by avoiding the production of superfluous plastic. Due to its solid format, it is also very practical to take it on a trip (and in particular in your cabin suitcase) without having to worry about the maximum capacity authorized in terms of liquid. Moreover, some brands offer for sale small metal boxes perfect for keeping your solid shampoo in the bathroom as on vacation.
