How to choose the right solid shampoo for your hair?

More than just a lifestyle, going zero waste and reconnecting with bulk products is a real way to consume for the sake of the environment. 🌱 Zero waste is taking place in all areas of our lives, at home, at work, and even among friends! 😝 Discover one of these eco-friendly solutions now.

DIY or Do it yourself, meaning "do it yourself" is a phenomenon that has increased considerably (and for the good of our planet) during confinement. This tendency, accessible to all, should also largely continue. 😉 Indeed, it responds initially to entertainment, but also to a need for autonomy and a questioning of the products offered by manufacturers.

Djossye aims to give you the essential notions to know about solid shampoos, so that you can start or continue the path to zero waste, while having fun! 🤩

Why use solid shampoo?

More economical, healthier for your scalp and the environment. The formulas of most solid shampoos are more concentrated, rich in natural ingredients and essential oils. Manufacturers generally opt for the zero-waste concept, and most of the time avoid irritating products and questionable preservatives.

Its small size makes it a compact product, while having a particularly dry texture which allows it to be easily transported and completely avoids the risk of leakage. Solid shampoo is also practical since it is light and therefore less bulky. 🤗

However, the prices may seem excessive at first glance when compared to those of traditional liquid shampoos. But be careful... this remark is inaccurate. 😮 Very often, one solid shampoo is equivalent to two or even four bottles of liquid shampoo. Therefore, consuming better does not necessarily mean consuming more.

Besides, we tend to think that solid shampoos could damage hair. And yet, rest assured, this is not the case! The best solid shampoos with a good composition and proper use are all as effective as a standard shampoo found in supermarkets.

Concerning ecology , a good solid shampoo does not pollute, and does not release chemical residues into the water.

How to choose and use it correctly?

First of all, a solid shampoo should not be packaged in packaging that pollutes, otherwise there would be no real point in buying it. 😅

If you don't have time to make your own shampoo bar, we recommend you carefully research the ingredients of the shampoo bars you're considering. 🔎 Choose a shampoo bar with a formula made with as many naturally derived ingredients as possible. Avoid sulfates and opt for natural surfactants, such as a gentle foaming agent.

And since we talked about DIYs, people often make their own, with a clean and responsible solid shampoo recipe, so don't hesitate to buy from these small businesses. ❤️

Conclusion ?

It's a solid and sustainable solution. What if this year you implemented a responsible beauty routine that's good for you and the planet? 😚
