    I like Slovak brand Soaphoria. They’re focused on making ecological and natural products. Especially their solid shampoos are great (it’s also worth noting, that they’re only packaged in a paper box, not in a big plastic bottle).

    Other brand that I like (even though it’s not really a hair-shampoo brand) is Floris London. They only have a single shampoo, but I have very good results out of that. But this one is a bit on the pricier side compared to Soaphoria.

    If you have to buy American, mane and tail. The rich don’t care if the poors have hair, they care if their horses do.

      AFAIK they’re at least partially owned by Nestle, so their products are a definite no-no.

        After a lifetime of dealing with dandruff, I’ve recently discovered the best anti-dandruff shampoo in the world, hands down: hot water.

        No shampoo at all. Just scrubbing with hot water every two-three days. After about a month or two the scalp stops overcompensating for the degreasing effect of shampoos and calms down. The first month will be pretty itchy and dandruffy though. Tapering out shampoo use gradually and some spray-on/drip-on anti-seboreic dermatitis lotion can keep things under control until the scalp normalizes.

        I think this was the video that I first got the idea from:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmDBYsRJN7A

          are you telling me to search eBay for shampoo or is there a brand of shampoo called ebay because if it is the latter I can not find it behind all the links for people on ebay selling shampoo.

    I’ve not used liquid shampoo for about 3 years now.

    I only use solid shampoo, which currently is the one from Fer à Cheval.

        No, it’s this one (the site exists in English if needed). What you linked is the conditioner.

        And yes, you use it like soap, but directly on your hair. It very quickly produces “soap bubbles”.

          Do you have long hair? For some reason I imagine it would be difficult to get it on without missing a spot (I have never tried this before)

            I have long hair and I use similarly looking solid shampoo. What I do is, that I rub it in both hands and it foams quite quickly and heavilly. Then when I have both hands full of foamy soap, I rub it in hair and wash them similarly to how I would with a liquid shampoo. Maybe it sounds weird, but it’s pretty quick and effortless. But it’s very dependent on how good the soap foams. If you have a solid shampoo that doesn’t foam well, you would need to repeat this procedure multiple times and could be annoying.

            I don’t have long hair, but I find that it behaves like a liquid shampoo. But I can’t say how it would exactly work on long hair.

            The shampoo does have a small scent:

            Its sensory formula, with the delicious, natural scent of oat milk and its creamy foam, is just as effective as a liquid shampoo.

    Dove is from Unilever which is British.
    Head and Shoulders and Pantene are Procter & Gamble Which is from USA.
    Pantene was originally from Switzerland. So I wasn’t aware it’s American now. Since 1985. 🫣

        Yeah, Unilever is quite some British people’s national prides. It started as a Dutch/British joint company, and it’s still quite some Dutch people’s national pride.

        I don’t think they’re that good a company to feel nationalism for but there are worse companies (Nestlé for one)
