Did you know a plastic shampoo bottle takes around 400 years to decompose in a landfill? Dozens of brands are swapping liquids for solid shampoo bars that are both sustainable and efficacious. Choose one of these options to elevate your hair-care routine.
For Blonde Hair
Blue Dunes Purple Haze Toning Shampoo Bar ($28)
Liquid shampoos aren’t required to neutralize unwanted brassy tones. This purple bar leaves hair looking cooler and more vibrant while enhancing its natural radiance, and the citrus scent is super refreshing.
For Dry Hair
Davines Momo Shampoo Bar ($27)
For dry or dehydrated hair in need of intense hydration, this bar employs hydrating ingredients like yellow melon extract to leave hair feeling perfectly quenched after every wash.
For Textured Hair
Nopalera Moisturize + Shine Shampoo Bar ($26)
A game changer for textured hair, this formula is packed with softening prickly pear oil and cocoa seed butter, plus hydrating aloe vera. A little goes a long way, creating a rich lather that won’t strip away natural oils.
Did you know? One Nopalera Shampoo Bar is equivalent to two 8.5-ounce bottles of liquid shampoo!
For Damaged Hair
BRIXY Strengthen Shampoo Bar ($16)
This advanced formula combines pumpkin seed oil, rosemary oil and caffeine (aka the BRIXY Blend) to stimulate the scalp while ceramides and niacinamide shield against dryness and breakage.
For a Deep Clean
Dip Shampoo Bar in Orange Blossom ($25)
Packed with good-for-your-hair (and scalp) ingredients that create a nourishing lather, this bar is a limited-edition collab launched with Fill Up Buttercup. We not only love the topical scent, but also the way it gets rid of grime.
For Curly Hair
Ethique Curl-Defining Solid Shampoo ($17)
For anyone with curls and coils looking for a silicone-free solid shampoo, this is the one to try. The mix of shea butter, cocoa seed butter and glycerin help tame frizz, define curls and boost shine.
For Thinning Hair
Church California Organic Shampoo Bar ($28)
Crafted with cold-pressed organic ingredients, including the brand’s signature fermented rice water, this bar delivers a nourishing cleanse that promotes hair growth and density.
