6 Vegan Shampoo Bars To Choose From

-

By McDonald, T.  |  Date 20th of August 2021

Everyone knows the importance of personal care and grooming.  Whether you are a man or a woman, there are plenty of shampoos to choose from, but not all shampoos are vegan or Earth friendly.  One of the problems is the plastic packaging for the liquid soap.  This is a problem because the plastic either is incinerated or ends up in landfill and in turn is eaten by birds who mistake it for food resulting in the bird's eventual death. This makes it a problem for vegans since we wish no harm to the animals.  With this in mind, what shampoos can we use that are kind to the animals and friendly to the Earth? Well, the answer is vegan shampoo bars! All of these bars are cruelty and plastic free.

1.  Eco Warrior

Easily the best value for money.  Can be found in some supermarkets and in some chemists.  Smells great and does the job.  I have included this one because it is such good value.  It gets good reviews and comes in plastic free packaging.  I got two bars for £4!  Even when they are not on special offer, they are reasonably priced.  Diffidently worth a try.

How long did it last?

  • 7 months (based on short hair)

How good was it at cleaning my hair?

  • Great
  • Good lather
  • Smells great
  • Made my hair feel soft

Overall rating

5/5

2.  Seanik

Perhaps the best one I have tried so far.  This does a really good job of cleaning the hair and came naked, meaning it had no packaging at all.  It lasted for ages and gave a really laved up brilliantly.  At first, I thought it was a small bar, but i quickly realised that it didn't need much to get a rich creamy lather.

How long did it last?

  • 8 months 

How good was it at cleaning my hair?

  • Brilliant 
  • Good lather
  • Smells fine
  • Made my hair feel soft

Overall rating

5/5

 

3.  Faith In Nature 

This is becoming more readily available since it is stocked almost everywhere.  I have seen it in many supermarkets and even in charity shops as bought in goods (BIG).  Furthermore, I have use their soap bars for a long time and love them.  With that in mind, I included them in this listicle; however, i liked the soap better than this shampoo bar.

How long did it last?

  • 4 months 

How good was it at cleaning my hair?

  • OK
  • You have to work hard to get  lather
  • Smells alright, but very week smell
  • Made my hair feel very soft

Overall rating

3/5

 

4.  Primal Suds 

Diffidently one of my favourites!  It comes in three types for different hair: greasy, normal and dry.  Gets your hair really clean and makes it feel nice.  I found that it lasts a long time, but being a typical man i have short hair.  When i say a long time, i mean about 6 mouths or more making it fantastic value for money.  

How long did it last?

  • 6 months 

How good was it at cleaning my hair?

  • Brilliant 
  • OK lather
  • Smells fine
  • Made my hair feel soft

Overall rating

4/5

 

5.  Wild Sage + Co

I have not tried this, but it gets good reviews. One of its biggest selling points is that is comes naked, without packaging, as an option. 

 

6.  Friendly

I have bought this for others as a present and they all liked it. Friendly comes in different varieties too.  It has a pleasant smell while washing in the shower and cleaned my hair well. Notably, it didn't leave my hair flyaway like other bars.

How good was it at cleaning my hair?

  • Good
  • Very good lather
  • Smells great
  • Didn't make my hair feel as soft as other bars

Overall rating

3/5

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
