No bad hair day today

Mid July I found this in my favorite drugstore. I don't know exactly if I had to mark this as advertisement due to brand naming, therefore I disguised it somehow. But I think at least the Germans might guess where I bought it.

I like that drugstore because they offer a good mixture of products. People who didn't think much about protection of the environment or healthy eating so far might become more aware and may gain some good ideas to start. Surely they also sell a lot of household chemicals for washing and cleaning and so on but on the other hand you can find a vast variety of natural cosmetics and eco-friendly products. Their own brand products are absolutely comparable to other brands (maybe they're even identical, who knows?) and in my personal opinion you get good value for money. Another positive side-aspect: The former leader is an advocate for the UBI (unconditional basic income). That might be debatable and I don't want to delve too deep into it but I think it's a scenario worth thinking about.

Anyway, in summer I bought this solid shampoo and have been using it since I finished my liquid one. Looks like a round bar of soap, only very lightly scented (or not scented at all, I might say). But that doesn't bother me much because with deodorant, perfume, facial and body cream I don't need another scent. Contrary to my expectations it foamed pretty well and my hair was squeaky clean in no time. I didn't use any conditioner (I never do) and when I combed my hair it had a good grip, and I couldn't detect any differences in blow-drying and styling.

I wash my hair every other day and visit a salon rather regularly to return my churchyard blond (aka grey) into normal blond every eight weeks. My trusted hairdresser assured me last time that there was no change in hair structure or texture. Surely, I don't have a flowing mane but a bob cut to chin-length but I or she would definitely notice dry tips or oily roots. The shampoo bar fits perfectly into an old deodorant tin where I put it to keep it dry (I leave the lid slightly open). You might stow it in a wash cloth but in any case it shouldn't swim in water because then it would dissolve like soap.

I didn't note the exact date but it feels like I have been using this solid shampoo for a good three months now. Not bad, I think. It was packaged in a cardboard box and I find it very handy for travelling. Right now, they only have normal hair shampoo but nevertheless I am hooked and therefore bought the second version with coconut flavor. In case you notice a light scent of coconut wafting around me - no, I didn't jack up my muesli with Batida!!! :-)
