Order arrived promptly and the packaging was minimal and recyclable! I really like the bottle cleaner i bought, very functional and actually more sturdy than I thought it would be. I am currently 2 weeks into using shampoo bars and think my hair is nearly through the transition phase. I would say that that old line "sorry i'm washing my hair tonight" becomes relevant as I am finding that to get a good lather and wash you need to dedicate 10 minutes and use a basin of water to get hair properly lathered up. But I do think that I am not needing to wash my hair as frequently. I am using the vinegar rinse as recommended and I think this leaves hair more manageable. I will definitely consider using Earth bits again for future purchases.
