Shampoo bars

Evening all.
Has anyone successfully made the transition to solid shampoo bars? I'm a week in and my hair is akin to waxy, disgusting hay. I know it's supposed to take a while and I dont wash my hair more than 3 times a week but....... bleurrrgh.
Do I wash it more often? Less often? Try the diluted apple cider vinegar rinse?
I mean, I can tie my hair in a bun for work, it smells fine, I'm not, you know, Jennifer Aniston 😊 but it just feels so horrible.
Do I stick with it? Will it get better?
I'm basically trying to limit the number of plastic bottles I get through but at this point,I am just really hankering after my old, Tresemme- swishy hair instead of this waxy birds nest on my head......

Blleeaarrgh.

If anyone is on hard water this might be interesting - I got a sample pack of Beauty Kubes and used today in my (Cambridgeshire) very hard water along with a little bit of halo rinse (Conchus). It worked great!

No easy yuck feeling, really soft now, and feels lovely. I went with beauty Kubes as they don't have sls, or palm oil, and are plastic free.

I think I could improve the mixing knack, but very impressed after my previous fails!
