On average, water makes up 80% of liquid shampoos and conditioners and the most Americans goes through 11 bottles of shampoo a year, adding up to a LOT of water you're paying for! The production of liquid shampoo and conditioner also uses up a lot of freshwater resources and makes shipping heavy, which generates more carbon emissions.
 That's a lot of single-use plastic ending up in landfills. In the United States 550,000,000+ plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles are thrown out every year.  Lassëa Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars are a planet-friendly, hair nourishing way to clean your hair. Their name comes from the Tolkien Quenya Elvish word lassëa meaning “with leaves, leafy."  The only water it needs is what you were going to
use in a shower anyway, and it's much lighter and less expensive to ship, too!
NightBlooming customers are noticing the savings!
So, I originally Got a Lembas bar last October and posted a review that I loved it. I have just gotten to the point of needing to order a new one,
which I did last month. I have been recalculating my math from that last review, shocked. Has 1 Lembas bar lasted me 8 months?( mind you, I still am using the old one, but [ it has shrunk down to be ] similar in size to a sample one). For background, I have fine hair, but a lot of it, and it goes, at most, to my collarbone. I wash my hair once a week. This is crazy. And my hair feels great and healthy. $32 for shampoo that has lasted 8 months ( and not dead yet!). Without counting the cost of
water or the conditioner, I spend 4 dollars a month to clean my hair. $4 a month. Melissa knows what she is doing!! Â Â
LassĂ«a lasts longer and costs you far less in the long run than an endless litany of liquid shampoo and conditioners and their plastic bottles. Â

This article is full of tips and tricks that will let you get the most out of your Lassëa: how to use the bars, care for them, and clever ways to use the conditioner bar as a lotion, a leave-in, and more!
From the silky lather to the rich signature scent, I’m in love with this shampoo bar. It is early in my transition from a soap/shampoo bar, but my
hair feels much smoother and softer, and already seems healthier. I won’t lie — the price gave me pause initially, but it only took two washes for me to figure out it was worth it. I haven’t felt the need to use conditioner while washing my hair with this bar, but I’m so delighted with the change I’ve experienced, I’m already planning another order, this time including a Lassëa conditioning bar. Side note: I appreciate NightBlooming’s eco-friendly packaging which also, somehow, manages to be
aesthetically pleasing. Definitely a fan now. Â
The kraft clamshell is reusable (it's great for storing the bar in if you take it to the gym or travel), recyclable, and compostable!
I have tried Shampoo bars before, some from mainstream suppliers, some from small Esty shops, some from small businesses, some from big businesses.
I’ve even made shampoo bars myself. My shower is littered with the array of products I have made and tried. I have disliked every single one of them. Some made my hair feel gummy, some made it dry in weird ways, almost like tendrils. And then I used NightBlooming’s. Not even a fair competition. It doesn’t leave a gummy residue, it leaves the hair light and free, and weightless. The other best part is the scent. I’ll walk past the shower and then be like, “Oohh. Whats that smell?” and then I’ll
rediscover that it’s the shampoo bar. Is it an investment? Yes. But I have found they last a long time. The little sample sizes last me at least 6 washes, and they are itty bitty. I haven’t had the lembas one long enough to tell you how long it would last, but I wager it’ll be a long time. If you are willing to spend a little more on yourself (which I assume you are since you are taking the time to research and read reviews), I would go for it. start with the sample size if you aren’t sure. You
don’t have to commit to the bigger bars ( but If you’re like me you probably will once you’ve tried it XD)
The overwhelmingly positive response to Lassëa Solid Shampoo & Conditioner Bars has been such a delight, and they're a perfect new year
treat for yourself! |
