Shampoo bar for fine hair

[tiredandgrumpy]

I'm trying to switch to shampoo bars in a bid to reduce plastic, but am really unimpressed with those I've tried so far. Lush has harsh chemicals in which gave me eczema and a bar I got from a local shop just seems to leave some sort of "claggy" film on my hair.

I have fine hair. Has anyone found anything they love?

I love the Ethique range, I think they're from New Zealand. They do a pink shampoo bar which smells great and I think is sold as their regular bar but gives my fine oily hair lots of volume and keeps it clean for longer than normal shampoo.

I switched to shampoo bars and it took a couple of weeks for my hair to adjust. I use bank and savon ones.
Have you tried using a vinegar rinse. It stops the clagginess. Apparently it's worse in hard water areas.

Thank you both. I'll try that NZ range. We are in a really hard water area, so a vinegar rinse sounds like a great idea. How do I do this & what sort of vinegar? (Really hate the stuff in this family, so need to avoid the smell if poss!).

Re vinegar.
About 1 tsp per cup. Leave it on for about 30 mins. I do a couple of cups and then rub it through. Rinse off. It might smell a tiny bit vinegar until it dries and then no smell. I use a leave in conditioner on my ends (I can return the pot to be recycled) and my hair smells of this. I couldn't get on with a bar conditioner.
The vinegar makes my hair shiny and reduces need for conditioner anyway. It's meant to be for the scalp as well.

I'm exactly the same as @theworldisfullofgs. Took a while to adjust and now I use diluted apple cider in a spray bottle to spray my hair with and rinse out after shampooing. I didn't like Lush either but really get on with Friendly bars.

I use 3tbsp for 250ml of ACV with cooled boiled water. It will smell vinegary when wet but as soon as your hair is dry the smell vanishes, I promise!

I buy the Juliet Rose Shampoo and conditioner bars from Keep and Co they are lovely don’t buy directly from her site though . I mistakenly did so and her turn around dispatch time isn’t what she’s stated I’m still waiting for an order and she isn’t replying to messages.
