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

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

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

Vegan Stollen

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of December 2023   This is something I have heard of, but never tried before.  Usually, we have traditional Christmas cake in my house, but last year I wanted to try something different and this was it.  Rest assured, I will be having it again this year too! At first, it seems like a lot of effort, but you will soon see that it is straight forward to make and definitely worth it.  However, it will need proofing and the dried fruit will need soaking, which will all take time, so plan ahead.  Notes I used French Brandy Marzipan and so used brandy to flavour the raisins and cranberries. I used almond milk. A good tip is to dust the soaked fruit with a little flour before adding the dough. You have 3 options with the marzipan:  Roll it out  Chop it up Have a thick bar of it running through the centre I soaked the dried fruit in brandy, but you can make it without the alcohol is you wish or use rum instead. I used a silicon baking sheet to save on the

Rum And Raisin Loaf

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of November 2023   Whatever the occasions, this is a great treat to be had.  The rum soaks into the raisins and results in a perfect infusion of flavours. The rum adds flavour to the raisins while the raisins add sweetness to the run.  This beautiful bread as a great bready texture, yet is fruity and warming to the soul. Although it doesn't need it, you can choose to dust it with icing sugar.
