Just this past year I have been guided to make some changes in my life, some of those changes involve my diet, health, and the products I’m using. For those that know me, know that I have A LOT of hair, literally enough hair for three people. My hair is extremely thick, curly, and long, so with a lot of hair comes the use of a lot of shampoo and conditioner.
Although I loved the conditioner and shampoo I was using, I couldn’t help but notice the amount of plastic bottles I was going through on a monthly basis. I would always throw these bottles into the recycling bin, wondering if in fact they will ever be recycled or just somehow end up in a landfill. I decided I wanted to make a change in my routine and began searching for a shampoo and conditioner that not only could manage my hair, but also had little to no waste and safe, gentle ingredients.
After researching some different companies and products I decided to try Ethique because they are plastic free, plant based, cruelty free, sustainable, and kind to your wallet! Another great thing about Ethique is all of their packaging is plastic free and compostable with no chemical coatings. This means all their boxes and labels will degrade in both the landfill or compost bin. You can also recycle them, though it’d be great to compost. To try it- you can bury them in your garden and watch them disappear over a few months.
In April of 2020 I ordered two shampoo bars (Healing Kiwi & Frizz Wangler) and two conditioner bars (Guardian & Wonderbar).
