    To make a true comparison on cost....you should look at the quality of the two shampoos as well....in the US...you can purchase a bottle of shampoo for as little as $1.50...the bottled shampoo I used to use was a salon quality shampoo and cost me $25.00. At that price, and with as many washes as I get from my shampoo bar....it is much less expensive to purchase the shampoo bar...the quality matters....you really can't compare apples with oranges.

      I think the main point is to stop using palm oil... and that is a bar that can be dried as son as you finished using it.

    Im still amazed to see that there’s still people that think that the length of your hair has something to do with the amount of product you use. You only just need a little bit of product because you’re supposed to wash only your scalp and the hair surrounding it, the rest of your hair will wash “on its own” when your start rinsing the shampoo. Not only this will save you money but it will also help your hair health -as the ends won’t be as dry- Now with the conditioner you can use the amount you feel fits your length hair and/or type, but you’re supposed to use it only on the ends of your hair.

      @@republican4u2nv78 while your rinsing out the shampoo, the shampoo travels from scalp to the ends and that is enough for washing the ends. Unless you play in mud or smth, then you don't need extra wash for your ends... That way you also don't dry out your hair. And those shampoos that have sulfates in them, like those here, these are the harshest chemicals and dry your hair out, so only wash your scalp, not the ends.
      Same goes for conditioner, because it probably has silicones in it, then don't put it on your scalp, only mids- ends (I put a bit higher, but only so it doesn't touch my scalp). Because new growth doesn't need conditioner, but your ends have been on your head for several years (depending on the length) and hair cuticle is probably more opened, so they do. Hope that clears up, sorry if some parts don't make sense, because English is not my first language, but I'm trying 😁

    If you are doing it the right way you also need to compare the ingredients that are in the shampoo bar and shampoo . From what i know is that for the shampoo bar there are way less ingredients used to make it . also the bar is not tested on animals which makes it a vegan friendly product . Most who make the bars place them in a bio degradable package and they use natural ingredients . I would say the Shampoo bar is good anyways . yes it cost a bit more but at least you do not put chemicals on your head .

  • @littlebearsasmr4630

    Are you keeping the bar dry/storing it where the water on it can drain away? If not it will 'dissolve' the bar as others have said. I've just worked out how long mine should last and its about 45-55 washes. And my bar is a lot smaller than yours but my hair is about the same length. So not really sure what's happened to yours...hope things get easier for you soon!

    I put my liquid shampoo in a hand soap pump bottle and I use 2 pumps every day and my shampoo lasts 4 months. I think this works since I am using the same amount every time and not just squirting it out of the bottle that has a large hole. (Even shampoo that comes with a pump tends to have a larger hole, hand soap bottles have a smaller hole, this is something that you don't really notice unless you look and it makes a difference in the amount of product you are using) I buy Head and Shoulders Clinical Defense 2 in 1 shampoo on sale for $8... when I can't find it on sale it is $10...The bottle is 13.5 oz. so that is like spending no more than $2.50 a month on shampoo. I also only wash my scalp. I find it easier to wash my hair in the sink instead of the shower. If you buy regular shampoo in a larger bottle then it would probably last longer and be a couple dollars cheaper. In the end I only have to buy 3 bottles of shampoo a year so that is less plastic (I know still not the same as no plastic)

    I don't understand your workings out on the shampoo bottle. You say you were washing one day & then putting it up in a bun the next day so that means in 14 days you washed 7 times. Your partner washed every day which added to yours is 21 washes. Based off that you used 24ml of shampoo per wash which is nearly 5 teaspoons per wash! I don't even think you'd be able to fit that much in the palm of your hand.
    I don't think you've given a fair comparison here as you've bought the most expensive shampoo bar & yet the least expensive shampoo bottle. You can get 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner bars with 97% plant based ingredients for 99p as thats what i'm using now. I wash my hair twice per week which is recommended for a healthy scalp & these bars last me 4 months/17 weeks or 34 washes which is less than 3p per wash.

I bought the lavender bar to relax while taking a shower . I orderd more some weeks ago and they can arive any moment . I orderd different bars and from different companies to compare them . I will also make my own bars next month .

    hi, great experiment congrats, really informative, I was thinking about dissolve shampoo bars in a jar so is easy to apply, if you want to save some money consider adding water to you normal shampoo and washing less, I did with mine and I noticed that the uban legend saying if you stop using shampoo your hair self regulates is true for me at least, even with a heavy gym and bike routine and a lot of sweat on my scalp, I didn't stop, but I reduce to 1 day per week, and my hair is healthier than ever, also I added water to the standard bottle, now a bottle last for up to 3-4 months and my hair is better and more healthy I hope this info helps someone.
