This is all the shampoo and conditioner we have in the house right now. It will probably take us until the end of the year to finish everything, minus the chlorine removal shampoo/conditioners.
THE PLAN: Switch to shampoo/conditioner bars
Soap Savers:
These were definitely not zero waste to obtain, but they are necessary for maintaining the integrity of the soap bars. Fail 1: They came in a waterproof fedex envelope. Fail 2: They are packaged in plastic and have plastic labeling/tag hooks.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Pros:
1. Easy to obtain and eliminates plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles
2. These are good transition products as I explore this zero-waste world more.
Cons:
1. Somewhat of an upfront cost, however if this all replaces 3 bottles of shampoo each, this will end up being much cheaper in the long run
2. The Lush products all contain sodium laurel sulfate, BUT so did all my original shampoo.
