Some may think shampoo bars are just some fad that crunchy people use to further their natural lifestyle. Others may have never heard of a shampoo bar. However, I am here to tell you 5 reasons why a shampoo bar is a necessary product in your shower.
1. Saving Money With A Shampoo Bar
How often do you buy shampoo? I am betting you buy it about once a month. That’s twelve bottles of shampoo. Typically shampoo costs between $4 to $8 a bottle. That calculates out to spending on average $50 to $100 a year on shampoo alone. Along with that, you are losing money, as the likelihood that you got all the shampoo out of the bottle is slim to none. A shampoo bar costs $8, and when set out of the water to drain and dry between uses, it can last well over a month.
2. Environmental Impact
Every year approximately 552 million bottles of shampoo end up in landfills in the United States. This is a global problem, but those numbers are just for the United States. Also, note that the number 552 million is only for bottles of shampoo. So imagine what the number would be if it included conditioner or body wash containers. Shampoo bars are free of a container, so no plastic is used to hold the shampoo, and no plastic is thrown away when you run out.
3. Fly Through TSA
Airports are bustling as traveling becomes an option again. Sometimes it makes more sense, and saves you money if you don’t check a bag, and do carry-on instead. However, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has a lot of barriers to bringing items on the plane. You are required to have 3.4 oz liquid containers or less. Someone with thick and long hair like me uses almost 3.4 oz to wash their hair daily. Using a shampoo bar gives you the freedom to grab your shampoo from the shower, and toss it in your bag worry-free. No leaks to fret about, and no concern of TSA telling you to toss your shampoo.
4. Shampoo Bars Free Up Space
Whether you live with roommates or in a busy city, a lot of people don’t have ample shower space to hold products. Think of how big your typical shampoo bottle is compared to your typical bar of soap. Switching to a shampoo bar gives you more space in your shower or shower caddy. This is especially helpful if you are living in a dorm and have to constantly travel with your shower products.
5. More Natural For Your Hair
Commercial shampoo products contain a number of ingredients that aren’t necessarily good for your hair or have any purpose to be in the shampoo. In contrast, shampoo bars contain only natural products that help clean your hair and avoid stripping it of its natural oils. As the shampoo bar water runs down the drain the natural ingredients don’t negatively impact our waterways and animal life.
