I went ahead and spent my precious coin on a package-free shampoo! The Lorax would be so proud of me! I couldn’t resist. I’d been considering it for a long time but have always been hesitant because of my hair type.
My curly hair ranges from 4B to 4A in some places because a consistent hair pattern would be too easy for me to deal with! I had been researching low-waste alternatives, and I knew that Lush had a wide variety of package-free hair care items.
But, I wasn’t convinced until I stumbled on this video review. The Avocado Co-Wash bar caught my attention. If you are familiar with the natural hair world, you understand that co-washing is an important aspect of a lot of people’s routine. The review I saw made it out to be a product that would be moisturizing enough for my dry hair. And honestly the use of that keyword, “Co-Wash” made me feel that Lush might have involved some people that know what they’re doing.
I ordered the smallest bar size (3.5 oz for $15) to try it out, and I wasn’t disappointed. The wash bar came in all-recyclable packaging (even the packing peanuts were compostable)! I was nervous when ordering the bar because I am seemingly one of the last living souls that doesn’t like avocado. But I didn’t buy it to eat it, so I knew it would be fine. I was pleasantly surprised that the bar had a fragrant cider-type smell.
You don’t wanna rub the bar directly on your hair but rather lather it in your hands and then work it into your hair. It takes a second to find a technique you like, but it’s worth it. This has become a favorite of mine. All I need to do is find a package-free clarifying shampoo and conditioner, and I’ll be set for a package-free wash day.
