Lavera, an eco-brand from Hannover (Germany)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I love polish brand Ziaja, but I will be Testing a Shampoo form Yves Rocher which I got for free ๐Ÿคญ

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I love the own brands form Rossmann (German but starting to expand) and for shampoo specifically have mostly switched to solid bars. Gels only for travel ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm OOTL, what's wrong with H&S? (Besides not being European)

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I like Slovak brand Soaphoria. Theyโ€™re focused on making ecological and natural products. Especially their solid shampoos are great (itโ€™s also worth noting, that theyโ€™re only packaged in a paper box, not in a big plastic bottle).

Other brand that I like (even though itโ€™s not really a hair-shampoo brand) is Floris London. They only have a single shampoo, but I have very good results out of that. But this one is a bit on the pricier side compared to Soaphoria.

Arbre vert has been treating my hair pretty well

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I like Faith In Nature. Vegan, natural ingredients, recycled/recyclable packaging, cruelty free. Smells lovely too.

Garnier, L'Oreal, Rituals

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I miss the cheap big gallon jugs of egg cream shampoo you could buy in the 70's. /s

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I use Valquer because:

  • it stopped my dandruff
  • can buy in big quantities
[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I prefer the other Rocher, far easier on the digestive system

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Solid shampoo here,everyone should switch imo

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Any particular recommendations?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Idk I buy a generic one at the supermarket, I've seen there's plenty of choice on ebay tho

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you happened to see any with no or truly mild perfume? I've been looking on and off through the years without finding any

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Nope,I never considered the smell an issue so I don't chose based on that criteria.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Understandable, thanks

Yves Rocher still sales in Russia. Shame on them.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

AFAIK they're at least partially owned by Nestle, so their products are a definite no-no.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Kerastase is nice. It's Spanish I think.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

God damn it, pantone is the only shampo that has really been able to tame my hair, and i litteraly bought a head and shoulders bottle 2 days ago.

What you save in shampoo, you lose in soap.

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I've not used liquid shampoo for about 3 years now.

I only use solid shampoo, which currently is the one from Fer ร  Cheval.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This?

How do you use it, though? Like a soap bar?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

No, it's this one (the site exists in English if needed). What you linked is the conditioner.

And yes, you use it like soap, but directly on your hair. It very quickly produces "soap bubbles".

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Do you have long hair? For some reason I imagine it would be difficult to get it on without missing a spot (I have never tried this before)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I have long hair and I use similarly looking solid shampoo. What I do is, that I rub it in both hands and it foams quite quickly and heavilly. Then when I have both hands full of foamy soap, I rub it in hair and wash them similarly to how I would with a liquid shampoo. Maybe it sounds weird, but itโ€™s pretty quick and effortless. But itโ€™s very dependent on how good the soap foams. If you have a solid shampoo that doesnโ€™t foam well, you would need to repeat this procedure multiple times and could be annoying.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't have long hair, but I find that it behaves like a liquid shampoo. But I can't say how it would exactly work on long hair.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

that's interesting, thanks for sharing!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait, am I reading correctly that it has no perfume?

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The shampoo does have a small scent:

Its sensory formula, with the delicious, natural scent of oat milk and its creamy foam, is just as effective as a liquid shampoo.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Aah okay! Thanks!

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Stylรฉ. Je connaisais pas mais รงa ร  lโ€™air bien plus รฉcolo. Je vais acheter pour tenter.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

En tout cas, j'en suis trรจs content :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah same I've been on solid shampoo for like 8 years and it's great, and no more plastic waste.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

For dyed hair, Attitude makes a specific range of hair care products. They're a small Dutch company

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I use plastic free "Eco Warrior" shampoo bars made by Little Soap Company Ltd (UK).
