Plaine Products Shampoo And Conditioner Review

I love trying out new products and brands, especially when companies put in specific efforts to preserve the environment. After stumbling across the brand Plaine Products, I was so excited because the company’s entire principal is to create high-quality packaging that can be shipped back and reused for packaging future products. Plaine Products haircare comes in aluminum containers rather than plastic. When I first discovered Plaine Products, they were mainly focused on shampoo and conditioner. Now, if you visit the site, you will be please to find an array of products all with minimal packaging that can be sent back to be reused again and again.

If you’re like me, you have been trying to implement more sustainable products into your routine. For the longest time, the only zero waste shampoo and conditioners that I could find were usually bars. I've enjoyed using many of the shampoo and conditioner bars that I've tried, but  I could never see them as a part of my routine in the long term. Even though I had tins to store the bars in, I found it difficult to preserve the quality of the products in between uses. I have been delighted with my purchases after trying out the Plaine Products, biodegradable shampoos, and conditioners.

Plaine Product's Fresh Shampoo
​The Plain Products shampoo is a gentle formula that is vegan, color-safe, and biodegradable. Because the formula was all natural, I was apprehensive that it would not lather well nor clean my hair. I tend to require high-quality shampoo because I am a long-distance runner that works out daily. This shampoo works wonders. I love using this product, and it leaves my hair smelling so fresh and clean. After some workouts, I find myself having to shampoo my hair twice, just to make sure it is grease-free. Overall I would give this product a 9/10.
​The Plain Products conditioner is similar to the shampoo in the fact that it is a gentle formula that is vegan, color-safe, and biodegradable. I honestly think I love the conditioner more than the shampoo because after using conditioner bars for so long, I forgot what a great conditioner can do for your hair. This silky-smooth formula rejuvenates my hair and allows it to air dry with hydration and shine. I will say I am someone who loves to lather their hair with a lot of conditioner and wait a solid five minutes. Overall, I would give the conditioner a 10/10. It is one of my true favorites, mainly because it is so effective and so good for the environment instead of the vast array of plastic bottled conditioners on the market.

​I hope you have enjoyed my review! Feel free to ask questions below about Plaine Products and I’d be happy to answer them! I've realized that when it comes to safe beauty products, you will find yourself investing a little bit more in them. I have people tell me all the time that they love the product, but just think it’s too expensive or they want a drugstore version. I completely understand where this is coming from, but the money has to come out of somewhere. Hence, if you’re paying less for a product, it usually indicates that the company is cutting corners on wages or quality of ingredients. At the end of the day, your bank statement indeed shows your values.

Nice review ! I am shampoo free - but if I cannot convince others to join me in the venture I would recommend them to read this and see if it could work for them

I totally agree, I love shampoo & conditioner bars but then I'll try a liquid product again and remember how much easier and more efficient they are to use. Sounds like this is the best of both worlds!
