wash that plastic pollution right out of my hair

Its time to wash that plastic pollution right out of my hair. Yes shampoo is out. Before you squeal in horror at the thought of my greasy locks, I have researched the subject and here are my preferred alternatives.
Solid ShampooInstead of buying shampoo in a bottle you can get a solid shampoo bar from Pure Lush. These come wrapped in paper if you buy them from the shop and plastic if you buy form the website. I know - plastic - but it is a shrink wrapped bag as compared to a whole bottle.
Home Made ShampooMake your own shampoo using soap flake. Soap flakes are made by Dri pak, a Derbyshire based company. They are described (on their website) as follows:
“..made from pure soap and are just the job for washing delicate fabrics, silks, woollens and specially treated micro fibre fabrics such as waterproof sports and outdoor clothing. They are also great for hand washing, particularly for people with sensitive skin. Soap Flakes are not tested on animals.”

They also come in cardboard boxes.
You can them direct from dri pak and cost 6 packs of 500g will cost you £12.50.
Soap Recipe
2 cups of soap flakes
2 litres of water
30ml of glycerine.
Heat up and stir till the soap flakes melt. This makes a big pan full. When it cools the soap will go all stiff and jelly like. To get it more liquid you have to mix it up again - a hand blender is ideal. This makes a kind of glutinous soap. If it is too thick add some more water. When it is the desired consistency you can add a few drops of essential oils and you have got a washing soap that can be used for hair, body and hands.
Note
The gel soap is not very frothy but does seem to clean as well as anything else.
Hair - pretty good - do two washes and you get lots of lather the 2nd time. You don’t get the feeling it is stripping your hair bare and it doesn’t leave it frizzy and mad. It seems to take hair some time to adapt.

It can be used in pump style soap dispenser as a hand or body soap. The lack of froth is a bit off putting. On the other hand it reduces the problem of slushy soap in manky soap dish without destroying the planet. It is also excellent for any one with allergies.
