bar shampoo gets a no from me, I have a HORRIBLE amount of hair/skin oil (genetic) and if I don't wash my hair for even 1 day it looks like an absolute mess.

good news is that when I'm older I'll have absolutely glorious hair though lol

I use bar shampoo and body wash. Daily, because i sweat a lot (genetics too).

I use bar stuff because i have to shower daily. It prevents so much waste, because i work through soap fast, so at least i am not producing plastic waste.

If you have to wash your hair a lot, thats an argument for bar shampoo, not against.

My hair is also excessively oily, and I wash it daily with bar shampoo.

Get back to me when bar shampoo has medicated variants and doesn't fucking suck.

Yeah, not everyone can do it, but I have no reason to doubt that most can, but we're really getting hung up on a single example here, people.

How about deodorant? How many people use deodorant in a cardboard container instead of plastic?
