The birth of the beauty industry was only a little over a century ago and yet we've had the chance to see several iterations of different products. Mascara, for example, looks like an entirely new invention when compared to the pan of petroleum jelly and coal that once lived in your grandmother's makeup bag. With that said, there is one product that's been around since the late '20s without seeing much of a makeover: shampoo. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? But with the growing interest in sustainability, it's no surprise that the shampoo category is finally getting a redo — specifically, a plastic-free spin. Clear off your shelves and shower caddies — it's time to make room for shampoo bars.
Shampoo bars might involve entirely different packaging than we're used to, but the premise is the same: they suds and they clean. But that packaging — plastic-free, to be specific — is also the reason why they're better for the environment. Now, all you have to do is figure out which shampoo is right for you. Does your hair prefer the instant shine from argan oil or are you looking for added softness from an unlikely ingredient, like oat? All you have to do to find out is take the quiz below. Your perfect shampoo bar awaits.
