There are many alternatives to traditional shampoo and conditioner out there that are more natural, affordable, and eco-friendly. Our All for Better Health shampoo bars are one of these great natural alternatives.
While solid shampoo has gotten a bad reputation because they can leave hair gummy in hard water conditions, they can be a wonderful hair care product (even if you don’t have soft water). And if the bar is too alkaline, it can leave your hair feeling like straw—brittle and prone to breakage.
The key to All for Better Health’s positive reputation is in our formula. When you get that right, you don’t have a bar of hair soap. And you have something that’s better than detergent-based liquid shampoos.
Here’s the four best reasons you might want to switch from traditional shampoos to our All for Better Health shampoo bar.
Natural ingredients make our shampoo bars better for your scalp and hair.
Detergents aren’t natural. They’re man-made. Sure, they handle hard water better than soap, yet that comes at a cost. They contain sulfates, which are now known “to form carcinogens that lead to kidney damage and hormone disruption.” [Source]
If you struggle with an itchy scalp, it could be you’re suffering from product buildup or detergent sensitivity. Those are two issues our natural formula overcomes. The combination of essential oils and vinegar in our formula calms an inflamed scalp and smooths the hair shaft. This means you get smooth, silky hair with less fuss and expense.
Shampoo bars make great travel companions.
Shampoo bars are so much easier to travel with. First, there’s no limitation on how many shampoo bars you can carry in your carry-on bags. Next, there’s no risk of leaks or spills. You just wrap your shampoo bar in a washcloth, waxed paper or plastic.
Moreover, shampoo bars are great for people who are traveling because they are small and lightweight. They take up less space than bottles of shampoo and conditioner. This makes them easy to carry around in your bag.
Plus, shampoo bars last longer. Unless you’re traveling for several months, you won’t have to worry about running out of product before you return home.
Shampoo bars are better for our planet.
Shampoo bars are a great alternative for those who are looking to cut down on their plastic waste. Instead of requiring a bottle like a liquid shampoo does, a shampoo bar is solid.
Also, you don’t have to worry about using too much product. You only use as much of the bar as it takes to work up a good lather. There’s absolutely no waste.
Our bars reduce and even eliminate the need for conditioner.
It’s important to note that some people may experience dryness or flaking when using a shampoo bar for the first time. This is because shampoo bars do not contain the same chemicals as traditional shampoos and conditioners do. However, most people discover one of the main benefits of using a shampoo bar is that it doesn’t require you to use conditioner.
This is because we formulate our hair cleansing bars with ingredients that are designed to moisturize your hair and leave it feeling soft and healthy. As such, it can be used on its own without having to follow up with conditioner.
Summary
There’s really only one downside to using a shampoo bar that’s been formulated for hard water situation. If you like to use separate products for shampoo and conditioner, then a shampoo bar won’t accommodate that. (However, let me suggest that you may ditch conditioner after using our conditioning bar.) However, if you are interested in trying out a shampoo bar for the first time, then we encourage you to give ours a try. We believe we have one of the best bars available.
