Solid Shampoo Bars

Consciously Curly Co. Boasts a Sustainable and Effective Haircare Option

— July 3, 2022 — Eco
Black-owned business Consciously Curly Co., based in Bend, OR, offers a trio of solid shampoo bars. The company features a Clarifying Shampoo, a Cleansing Shampoo, and a Conditioning Shampoo. Because of their solid format, all three are more sustainable options for consumers than traditional haircare. This is because the solid format uses less water.

Consciously Curly Co. formulates its solid shampoo bars with surfactants, clays, and botanicals. It is estimated that one four-ounce solid shampoo bar will last between four and six months. This is the equivalent of eight bottles of eight-ounce liquid shampoo, meaning that going solid is also cost-effective. While the Clarifying Shampoo Bar adds volume and strengthens hair, the Cleansing Shampoo Bar "acts like a magnet to attract grime and build-up." Finally, the Conditioning Shampoo is creamy and gentle.
