LOW-WASTE HAIR WASHING

The average UK household uses an eye-watering 200 plastic haircare bottles a year. But while I’ve long been a fan of soap bars, I’ve always struggled to find a replacement shampoo. That was until I discovered Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo Bar (£7.99, boots.com), which cleans hair without leaving the residue I’ve often found with others. Wrapped in biodegradable cardboard, each bar lasts up to two months.

TOP TIP If you can’t get on with solid bars (I’ve yet to find a conditioner I like), refilling is a good alternative. Faith in Nature’s (faithinnature.co.uk) range of shampoo and conditioner is available at selected ‘refill stations’ in health food stores.
