Zero waste natural hair shampoo and conditioner

Green People scent-free organic shampoo is concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Sold with a matching conditioner.

Due to no scent, this is good for pregnancy/nursing and sensitive scalps. It’s also ideal for fragile hair that has been bleached, coloured or permed.

Avoid shea butter for latex allergies. Avoid human soap/shampoo on pets due to citrus/essential oils (read how to safely give dogs baths).

It blends three seaweeds, soothing aloe vera, yucca (for foam without synthetic detergents) and pineapple extract (helps remove dead skin cells).

One tube should last two to three months, with regular use. Take out regular subscriptions, earn points to redeem, against further purchases.

For skincare items by this brand, wash off before letting pets kiss you, due to cocoa butter (or zinc oxide in sunscreen, deodorants or cosmetics).

These shampoo/conditioner bars are sold in several varieties:

• Lavender tea tree (use with lavender conditioner)
• Mint (use with mint conditioner).

• To use the shampoo bars, lather up between hands and apply to wet hair to create a rich lather then rinse with warm water.

Battle Green mint and tea tree dry shampoo (with refills)

Battle Green mint and tea tree dry shampoo is made with natural cornstarch, arrowwroot and kaolin clay (all to absrb oil) and scented with real oils of tea tree and mint. The first purchase is a plastic-free refillable cardboard shaker pot, then buy refill sachets after that.

Instantly refresh oily roots without flammable butane chemical aerosol dry shampoos. This also adds volume and leaves hair feeling clean in seconds.

Dry shampoo is a good alternative if you’re not near a shower or running water, or for people who find it difficult to shower or hold their heads over a sink.

To use, just sprinkle a little dry shampoo powder directly into the roots of your hair, or add with your fingers. Work into the roots, then let sit for 30 seconds to absorb oil. Then brush through to remove excess powder.
