I'm surprised the youth of Lemmy hasn't picked up more on the "liquid soap is bad for the environment" thing. I got berated at length by my Millennial SIL (me, GenX) for using liquid soap, and because this was family, I actually did a deep dive into the subject so I could win the argument and put her in her fucking place, and it turns out she was right.
Why did I have to learn this in meatspace, and not on the internet from random kids? Things ain't right, I tell you, when my extended family knows and/or cares more about an environmental topic than left-leaning Lemmy.
We've switched to solid shampoo
only drawback is it can be harder to tell which is shampoo and which is conditioner, because there's no single-use plastic telling me which is which.
Which brand do you use?
Ethique (no complaints but haven't shopped around).
Water + soap + coconut + peppermint oil
Sure let me just pull out this random bottle of coconut and peppermint oil I have laying around…wait, these bottles are made of plastic too…why am I doing this again?
…seriously though I see plenty of premade bars online and was more looking for a recommendation. I’m not going to fucking homebrew shampoo and conditioner bars.

I get my bars online through Amazon (Walmart does not carry a 12 pack)
And I get my liquid one (for bathroom and kitchen sink dispenser) from Walmart.
It took my skin a week or two to get used to the soap without all the BS, but now I can never go back to anything else. I use the bar soap to shave with for gods sake! It's THAT good!
I've tried Sterling's shampoo bars and I like them. You'll want to use conditioner with those. A friend of mine recommended Lush bars but I haven't had a chance to try them.
I've tried a few different Lush dry shampoos and conditioners, and all of them were way too oily for my hair.
You have to make your own coconut and pepperment oils using ingredients locally sourced from sustainable operations. And store them in glass bottles.
Also use ethique, no complaints.
IDK what to tell you. Near me I have multiple stores where I can fill my own bottle with these oils and they're very low cost
I've been on solid shampoo and soap for a while now, I just try random ones when the old ones are finished. It's great I love it, takes less space in the shower, smells/feels/washes great, at this point I would not enjoy going back to bottles.
