Not putting chemicals into your hair and skin is so much healthier for you, your hair… and of course the environment.  Traditional shampoos contain synthetic chemicals such as fragrances, SLS and parabens.  SLS – sodium lauryl sulfate – completely strips your hair of everything including healthy natural oils.  These shampoos then start to leave their very own synthetic chemicals and residues in your hair.

Switch to natural shampoo and conditioner bars!

Friendly Soap has been creating 100% natural, ethically and environmentally minded soap bars since 2008.  The handmade, biodegradable formulas eschew foaming agents and preservatives, instead using naturally lathering ingredients to ensure they feel silky and rich; and they are packed with essential oils, herbs and spices.  The packaging is both recycled and recyclable.

Peace With The Wild stocks a number of great brands, such as vegan Bain & Savon and Eve Of St Agnes.  Peace With The Wild’s website provides a helpful guide on how to transition to a natural haircare regime.

ES Magazine reviewed the best shampoo bars in the UK, rating the Lush Montalbano bar as its favourite for citrus smell, and Christophe Robin Hydrating Shampoo Bar as the best for parched locks and colour-treated hair.  But the aroma of the Friendly Shampoo’s lavender and geranium bar, with its added calming effect, nudged it just ahead of the rest.
