Did switching to shampoo bars change how often you needed to wash?

Hmmm, not sure what to put here, other than repeat the title hehe..... Once you switched from liquid shampoos to shampoo bars, did you need to wash more often (or less)?

I have to wash more often when I use a shampoo bar. But that could be because I end up using too much to get a bit of a lather

I was about the same.

I am a daily washer because I work out almost every day. However, I do sometimes skip a wash when I'm using poo bars as my roots look better on day two if I do not get all sweaty.

less often for me.

Yes it did. I have oily hair, and I have noticed that my hair became less oily. I've been washing my hair twice a week, but I will wash it once a week again, thanks to the shampoo bars. The bar I have been using lathers very well, better than my shampoo actually.

The same. I've been using shampoo bars for a couple of years now. I scalp wash every other day (I work out almost daily too) and full wash once a week.

They definitely help stretch washes. I think the biggest reason for that is they don't contain sulfates - I haven't done enough experimenting with non-SLS liquid shampoos to say how they compare for me, but it's definitely a HUGE difference from SLS shampoos. Also, if you're trying to stretch washes, I recommend trying some shampoo bars that are recommended for oily hair.

(Some shampoo bars do contain sulfates - Lush is the only brand that comes to mind - but the ones that the majority of LHCers use don't - CV bars, PLH, ect)
