Why is choosing refillable haircare important?
Sustainability is something we think about every day. There are so many things to consider as we move through the world, especially when it comes to the products we use. And it’s not only about the ingredients or the sourcing, but also about packaging.
What is a haircare refill?
When it comes to the best eco-friendly haircare options, products that come in refill pouches really make a difference, utilizing far less plastic than traditional hard plastic bottles. So, a haircare refill, whether a refillable shampoo or conditioner, is something that can really make a difference over time. Plus, refills will cost less in the long run.
Which refillable haircare is made for you?
Now that you’re convinced of the importance of the refillable shampoo route, it’s time to get the lay of the land of eco-friendly hair products. We’ll talk about a couple of options, both refillable haircare and dry products.
Refillable shampoo
Refills come in soft pouches that you can use as is or refill your original product bottle with. L’Oréal Professionnel, for example, offers a range of its salon-grade products in refill pouches. These pouches use 73% less plastic than traditional 500ml plastic bottles, while still offering the formula that you love on.
Dry shampoos
Another more sustainable option that enables the use of less water is dry shampoos. These are not refillable but don’t come in plastic packaging, which makes it an eco-friendly hair product option.
