    I have dandruff issues and basically tried everything. The only shampoo that seems to work is this$40 little bottle from Ulta. I’m pissed, is there anything else?

    With fine hair this is especially true omg if a cheap “moisturizing” shampoo even looks at my hair I turn into a greasy puddle

        I mean, I used to but it’s been awhile. You’d definitely want some conditioner or oil afterwards though.

          I did with long hair. It does keep the grease down but you don’t get that shampoo commercial silky smooth feel. But you do get compliments from ppl in hair styling for having healthy hair.

    I discovered a single bar of $4 pure olive oil soap is all I need to shampoo and wash my entire body. Lasts a month or more. It’s so nice being able to reduce that element to one small thing, especially when traveling. But this depends a lot on the thickness/moisture of your hair and your skin’s oiliness and so on.

      Shampoo bars can work well, but keep in mind that if you leave them wet like a soap, they will melt like a soap. I was lazy and that thing disintegrated within no time.

      You need to decide what you care about. If the plastic part is important to you just use any bar soap. It’ll clean your head just fine. However shampoo is meant to not only clean but moisturize and protect your scalp so it often has oils and stuff in it. The oils is what makes it runny and not really able to maintain a bar shape. You could just as easily use a bar soap and add scalp moisturizer after you shower but that would just be another plastic bottle.

      good.store has bar shampoo and a lot of other regular house hold items that you might need regularly. Also all of the profits go to charity.

        I can vouch, it’s good stuff, smells good too. I use their cleaning products mostly but stocked my families bug out bags with the hygiene products after trying them out.

    I arrogantly treated myself to a $90 bottle of shampoo, and it ended up lasting 12 whole months.

    I have a nicer shampoo that’s about 3x as expensive, but it’s also at least twice as strong so I only need about a teaspoon for a shower (including neck, armpits and crotch). And it smells like a spa. Makes me feel great, and my partner often compliments how good I smell after I’ve taken a shower.

    So yeah, I think it’s worth it.
