Looking for shampoo brands (lemmy.world)

Hi! I was looking for shampoo brands from the EU. Mostly Big Name brands that since I live in Brazil and I want to be sure I can find these in the supermarket. (I could be buying from Brazilian brands also, but I feel like supporting the EU against the global Trump menace since they are more able to oppose him. Also most made-in-Brazil brands are not affordable for me). We are able to find most reasonably big brands here, we just can't find more niche ones. Any type of shampoo will do, I have very short hair and anything I use in it looks good lol

EDIT: I should have thought about this before, but I just found out L'Oréal is an affordable alternative I can find in here :)

For several years I just used a bar of normal soap. It's dirt cheap, no shitty ingredients, is sold without plastic packaging and does the trick quite fine. Not ideal for people with dry skin though as it doesn't contain the moisterizing additives of regular shampoo.

For regular Shampoo I'd just buy store brands of your favorite supermarket or drug store or natural cosmestics like Alnatura, Weleda, ...
