  I tried them a year or so ago, and they tended to dry out my hair a bit too much. I am still searching for a shampoo product that comes in a lighter plastic bag that can be emptied into a usable refillable bottle and the packaging can be recycled. This is actually done in some foreign countries.

  Great point! I like that too - it seems grocery stores are trying to help us all know more about our food.
