Why use a solid shampoo?

A new innovation in the beauty market, solid shampoo represents a real change for both the planet and our hair. With cleaner formulations and less plastic packaging, solid shampoos have taken over our bathrooms. How to use it properly? Why choose solid shampoo over liquid shampoo? We will explain everything about solid shampoo!

WHY CHOOSE SOLID SHAMPOO OVER LIQUID SHAMPOO?

Every year in France, 174 million conventional shampoos are consumed, resulting in the disposal of just as many bottles. Solid shampoos typically come without plastic packaging, often wrapped in paper. In addition to having more environmentally friendly packaging, solid shampoo produces no waste because it can be used until the last piece. By adopting a solid shampoo, you can participate in a zero-waste and eco-friendly lifestyle.

Furthermore, solid shampoo is also an economical option. In fact, its small size hides many perks! One solid shampoo bar is equivalent to two bottles of liquid shampoo.

As the bar is used, its volume reduces on the soap dish. However, simply sticking the pieces back together can prolong its use over time.

Finally, solid shampoo is easy to transport due to its compact size. When you're on the go, it easily fits in your suitcase. The same cannot be said for liquid shampoo, which, in addition to being bulky, can leak in your belongings. Solid shampoo also passes airport security checks without any issues during your travels abroad.

Moreover, you no longer need to transfer your shampoo into travel-sized containers, which also saves space at home since the packaging is much less bulky.

THE NOURISHING SOLID SHAMPOO BY LAZARTIGUE

This solid shampoo, with its bread-like appearance, is formulated with 93% natural ingredients. Its active ingredient is desert date oil, which has a high concentration of essential fatty acids: Omega 3 and Omega 9. These give it ultra-nourishing properties for the hair. The oil is sourced ethically from Burkina Faso and is rich in antioxidants. Lazartigue has chosen a gentle coconut-derived surfactant that provides enough foam to ensure a pleasant sensory experience.

Its botanical formula is biodegradable, sulfate-free, and silicone-free. The Nourishing Solid Shampoo alone is equivalent to two bottles of liquid shampoo. Its delightful scent combines apricot and tea aromas.

The Yuka application, which tests the quality of cosmetic products, has given it a rating of 100/100. It is also a vegan product that has not been tested on animals. Its paper packaging is FSC certified, meaning that the paper comes from sustainably managed forests.

FOR WHICH HAIR TYPES? HOW TO USE IT? 

Primarily used for frequent use, this solid shampoo is suitable for all hair types. Ideal for normal hair, the solid shampoo helps maintain an optimal balance between internal disturbances such as fatigue and stress, as well as external factors such as pollution. 

There are two ways to wash your hair with a solid shampoo. The first is to rub it in your hands and then carefully apply the foam to the scalp. The second is to apply it directly to wet hair using circular motions. As you work the product, a lather forms, and you can then massage and rinse.

This shampoo is usable with other Lazartigue ranges. Our expert hairdresser recommends adding a drop of "huile des rêves" to make the shampoo even gentler and provide even more hydration.

For conditioner, the "Nourish Light" treatment can be used. Composed of organic soybean oil, the hair is softened and moisturized without being weighed down. An adapted routine helps to prolong the results of the solid shampoo on your hair.

"I'VE ALREADY TRIED A SOLID SHAMPOO BUT DIDN'T LIKE IT, HOW IS THIS ONE DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS?"

Greasy hair, even drier hair, no volume, dull effect... Changing shampoos is not without consequences! 

Many shampoos are made with silicone, which gives the impression that hair is shiny and healthy. In reality, this is not the case because silicone only hydrates the outer layer of the hair fiber superficially.

When you stop using harmful products for your hair, such as silicone, the scalp enters a period of transition. During this time, the scalp adapts to new ingredients and readjusts its protective barrier. However, it is possible that your hair may not show any signs of resistance and adapt from the first use.

At Lazartigue, for your well-being and that of the planet, silicone is prohibited from formulas. This shampoo is, in a way, a revolution of solid ranges since it is just as sensorial as a liquid shampoo thanks to its creamy foam. 100% of those who have tried it find that the lather is generous and rinses easily. In short, this shampoo will reconcile you with solid shampoos!
