Looking to incorporate more sustainable practices into your hair routine? Here you'll find 8 waterless shampoos and conditioners to help you meet your goal: from easy-to-use powder-formulas to chic scalp cleansing bars.
8 of the Best Waterless Hair Care Products to Start a More Sustainable Routine
If you're looking for more ways to be sustainable this year, why not start with your beauty routine? With a plethora of new waterless hair care products on the market, this goal just became a little bit easier to achieve. Waterless hair products are made with water conservation in mind (water makes up 80% of most shampoos) as the earth faces a freshwater crisis and more droughts are on the horizon. Because many waterless hair products come in solid form, they also cut down on plastic and glass waste by not requiring a container. While up keeping our personal hygiene and hydration requires a certain amount of water usage, it's helpful to know which beauty brands are making products with little to no water at all.
Below, you'll find 8 hair care products—from a cleansing bar filled with plantain and coffee to powder-formula shampoos—that not only prevent water waste, but also hydrate your scalp and strands and look chic in your shower.
