Shampoo Bar: A small change with a significant impact.
Shampoo bar might be a new term for some of us, but it is a popular item among backpacking enthusiast and recently, eco-conscious consumers. Shampoo bar used to be a standard before the birth of shampoo bottles. However, the domination of bottled shampoo might change soon as there are more and more people decide to go back to this old-fashioned product to take care of their hair. Let’s have a look to see why shampoo bars are rising again.

As mentioned earlier, shampoo is great for travel. Its tiny light-weighted design is definitely a pro tip to save up some weight in your already-full luggage or bags. The best part is, they won’t leak. What can worse than opening your suitcase to realise you’re your shampoo has gone everywhere?
If you are not a travel avid, shampoo bars are just simply handy with its tiny size compared to shampoo bottles. It would be helpful if you have a small bathroom where any inch counts.

Though she be small but fierce. On average, a 100gr shampoo bar can last 80 washes or sometimes more than 100 times if you have short hair. That is typically more than a standard commercial shampoo bottle.

And guess what? That’s one more bottle to save! Yay. What can be best than being environmentally conscious and budget-conscious at the same time?
