I agree — I don’t use liquids either! Was just wondering if you had experience with a combo product from the past as then I could gauge if maybe I’d have a different experience with a solid combo than I’ve had with those. Hate to waste even one bar, ha! Though I suppose I could always layer with a conditioner bar if it didn’t work for me.

Hi Alex – Welcome back! I’ve been away for a while too! But in answer to your question, no – I haven’t tried liquid ones, for many reasons but first and foremost because that would mean a plastic bottle purchase and, secondly, liquid shampoos/conditioners are up to 80% water!

Which is pretty shameful.

Anyway – great to see you back!
Best,
Maddie

Hey Maddie! Coming back to blogging after a hiatus and catching up on comments! Thank you so much for this recommendation. Do you use liquid shampoo conditioner combos? I’ve never found one that worked for my hair so hesitant to try this but if you say it’s worth it, maybe I need to!

A few months ago I found these amazing award winning 2 in 1 Shampoo & Conditioner Bars which are not only small and convenient for me to carry but also do the job in conditioning my hair! They’re available on both sides of the Atlantic and I thoroughly recommend them: https://thesolidbarcompanyusa.com/collections/hair-care/products/2-in-1-shampoo-conditioner-bar-frankincense

Hey Emily! I actually did find a solid conditioner I love — check out my review of it here!

They look delicious and since we do travel a lot I love the idea of one less heavy liquid in my bag. We have a beach trip to Mexico coming right up and I will try a Lush bar out on that trip. I have wavy/curly hair and like to keep it as curly as possible, so I will be curious how it works. I think, like you, I will stick with my regular conditioner though. Just starting to read your blog and loving it!
