Lather up

Recycla is a shampoo girl.  She loves — nay, insists on — having squeaky clean hair.  She also is a wee bit picky about her shampoos.  The first thing she insists on is having shampoo that’s free of parabens and other yucky stuff.  After that, there are only a few scents she really likes and she often changes shampoos based on the season.  For some reason, Recycla likes mint- and/or lavender-scented shampoos during the cold months and floral shampoos during the warm months.

Right now, Recycla’s favorite shampoo is Avalon Organics’ Lavender Nourishing Shampoo.  An 11 oz. bottle is about $9, but that bottle lasts a long time.  Recycla loves how clean her hair feels and really loves the smell, which is light and fresh.  As Recycla’s husband hasn’t complained about the bathroom smelling “too girly,” Recycla thinks that’s a bonus too.

How about you, fellow Eco Warriors?  Any favorite shampoos?

You can lather up “bar soap” and clean your hair that way every other time to save shampoo. Of course, you end up spending alot of money going to bars to get the soap.

I happened upon the “no poo” concept about 2 months ago - no shampoo or conditioner, just stand under the shower and wash down locks of hair with a cloth - and it has worked very well. The consistency of my hair has changed for the better.Jenny

I may have to try the Avalon–I love lavender smells and I need suds to feel squeaky clean at the end of a grubby day!

I’ve used Avalon’s Citrus Lemon and it smells divine, not sweet at all. Love it!

I get Avalon products at the food coop we belong to. Use their rosemary hand cream (divine scent)…I’ve also used Avalon’s Meyer Lemon shampoo– it smells divine, not sweet at all.
