Anyone who knows anything about Lush knows that one of their 'things' is to use as little packaging as possible.

So,in comes - the shampoo bar. Naked as the day he was...well,made. No packaging to speak of,and,get this - he lasts as long as at LEAST two bottles of shampoo!

I wasn't keen on these at first but took the plunge one day,and I'm so glad I did.

There are a variety of shampoo bars to suit individual hair and needs (for my greasy head,for instance,Jumping Juniper) and even one with conditioner added in.

You can buy tins from Lush to store them in or you can clear out a Fresh-Face-Mask pot and use that,or leave it to air dry on the side of the tub/shower.

The good thing about these,apart from the packaging aspect,is that they're so convienient for travelling or taking to the gym or anything of the like - with a bottle of shampoo in my bag,I'd be paranoid the whole trip that my clothes/etc were being shampooed! With this,though,it's fine because I know that unless the tub it's stored in magically opens itself then it rains so hard that my entire bag is soaked then there isn't much chance of a mishap.

You also only use exactly what you need at a time,with a bottle sometimes too much comes out in one go,whereas with this you take what you need.
