Going Green Starts with Your Head

Going green and trying to lesson your impact on the environment is a big step and can be hard to take on all at once.  It is important to take it one step at a time and an easy way to start is by using shampoo and conditioner bars instead of liquids that come in plastic containers. 

I recently went to Target and found a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner bar by Love Beauty and Planet for only $5.  I had seen these all over and was intrigued, so I decided to try it out.  Not only was it easy to use, but it also worked well and made my hair soft and smelling great.  This specific product comes in a 100% recycled carton and is recyclable, which is also better for the environment.  

To use these bars, you rub the bar in between your hands until lather forms and then massage it into your hair, or rub it directly into your hair.  The bar I mentioned before is made to create body and strength for fine hair, but it can be used on all hair types.  If you are looking to try a couple of different types of hair bars before you find the perfect one, the Ethique Eco-Friendly Hair Sampler is a great product.  It comes with 5 small hair bars.  My mom and I both and shared this pack and it was a great way to try them and figure out which one was best for your hair.  Some of the bars in the pack are even supposed to last up to 5 months with regular use.  These bars also come in a chocolate box style package which is 100% compostable.  

There are so many great hair bar brands out there that you can try out now and easily lessen your impact on the environment.  No matter which you choose, you're making a difference, one step at a time!
