seems like you would use much less shampoo if it was in a bar vs a bottle.
any thoughts?

There IS bar shampoo available. And no, I've tried it and it dried my hair and scalp out too much (stripped the oils).

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. No, that would be the second stupidest. The stupidest thing I ever heard was making the high school curriculum easier so that more students would pass.

I don't know; they're all pretty stupid.

Try a natural foods store. Drugstore.com might sell it. I think there is a Burt's Bees bar shampoo.

They used to use it before there was such a thing as liquid shampoo.

If you keep your hair short you can get away with using plain old bar soap to wash your hair. Also, Dial is a detergent bar (not a true soap, more like shampoo) so you could use that for your hair.

Look for JR Liggett's. It is one of the main brands. And Burt's Bees, like I mentioned before.

It's not cheaper. It just takes up less room and can't be spilled, so it's a fairly good choice for camping and traveling (assuming it doesn't just fry your scalp and make it itch.)

Bar soap!

When I was little & my mother was sick I got sent around to various relatives to live. A lot of the old folks used bar soap shampoo. Some of it was nasty, some was nice-smelling. It worked fine.

Then when I was older & a musician I used to visit people on their communes - hippie junk. Their bar shampoo was never as nice as the good-smelling stuff from my childhood.

Anyway, I don't care what I use as long as it gets the hair clean - but I use the really cheap shampoo from the discount store (you know, the 33 cents a bottle stuff) and it's perfectly good.

My son who is allergic to everything has to use this special stuff with a prescription, so I figure it balances out financially.

consider if you could condense a good quality shampoo into a bar,, it would be MUCH less expensive think of 1-2 tsp of shampoo then soap your hair with bar soap to see the waste, it really takes very little substance to properly foam up hair.
