When it comes to caring for your hair through summer, there’s a lot to think about: replacing the moisture that the sun and surf strips away, staying on top of the humidity frizz, keeping hair healthy on those camping, boating, baching, beaching adventures and that’s before you even start to tackle the problem of plastic along the pristine coastlines you’re exploring.
Thankfully, there’s a simple answer to all of your summer haircare dilemmas: shampoo and conditioner bars.
A solid solution for summer
While the idea of a solid haircare bar might take a bit of getting used to, the experience is a pleasure. Ecostore’s bars lather up luxuriously, providing approximately 60 washes per bar. They’re vegan, made from plant and mineral-based ingredients, 100% soap-free and have a mild pH.
There’s a ‘hydrating’ formulation that includes argan and coconut oils to replenish hair, a bar that blends jojoba oil and shea butter to nourish and smooth dry and damaged locks, and a kale protein bar to volumise and strengthen fine hair. The conditioner bar is nourishing for all hair types.
Each bar comes wrapped in recyclable cardboard packaging, so clean, deliciously-scented, and nourished hair can be yours without a plastic bottle in sight. This means no leakage in your luggage and less bulk in your baggage.
Top tips for summer haircare:
1. If you’re going away for a short time, slice off a chunk of your shampoo and conditioner bar to take with you.
2. Conditioner bars double as a shaving serum - just don’t forget your razor.
3. There’s no reason you can’t wash your whole body with a shampoo bar. No separate shower gel required.
4. Invest in a reusable carry case for your haircare bars, or if you’re conscious of weight, you can use a waterproof zipped pouch.
5. Allow your bars to dry out before you transport them to prolong their lifespan.
6. Leave some conditioner through the ends of your hair for a protective, hydrating summer treat.
