CONDITIONER BARS

I love solid conditioner bars. They’re easy to pack on a trip, they last an incredibly long time. We present a solid hair conditioner bar created with rich conditioning and moisturising properties that coat the hair shafts and moisturise the scalp. It complements our formulation for a shampoo bar. The trend for solid – or so-called “waterless” – cosmetics grows year on year in response to consumer demand for greater sustainability in the manufacture of the personal care products they buy.

 

Our conditioner bars combine solid conditioners with hair loving additives to create a decadent moisture depositing hair treatment.

While product formulations vary from bar to bar, they all share one common trait: they’re entirely water-free. This is worth emphasizing because most of the liquid shampoos and conditioners you see on store shelves contain up to 70 percent water, which means you’re buying a watered-down product with fewer active ingredients and more preservatives to keep bacterial growth at bay.

 By taking water out of our formulas, we’re able to pack more hair-strengthening ingredients into our conditioner bars. Thus, you’re getting more vitamins, minerals, proteins and other important nutrients seeping into your strands. The end results? Smooth, silky tresses that are strong, healthy and easier to style!

Solid products are relatively simple and fun. Although some of the shampoo bars are conditioning as well, I personally like having a separate conditioner bar. It is full of solid conditioning ingredients and hair-loving additives. Well, it’s all a matter of preference, try each type and see what you like!

 

HOW TO USE A SOLID HAIR CONDITIONER BAR

Since this is a solid product, directions for use are slightly different from those you are familiar with in standard cream-like preparations. After cleansing the hair, you should wet the bar and rub it between your hands. The bar will now have a milky-looking surface as its ingredients emulsify in contact with water. Then, glide the bar over your hair strands, leaving the conditioner in for a few minutes to work before rinsing out.

You can also wet the bar and rub it in your hands and apply it to the ends of your hair as a leave on moisturiser.

No matter which method you choose, it’s important to apply your conditioner bar from the mid-length of your hair to the ends, taking care to avoid the roots entirely. The glands that produce sebum (oil) are located right next to the roots of your hair, so applying a conditioner bar to your roots could weigh them down and make your scalp look greasy.

Then again, if a dry scalp is to blame for your brittle, straw-like locks, applying a conditioner bar to the roots could be a great way to give your hair and scalp the moisture it so desperately craves. Do what feels right for your scalp and your hair type!

 Allow the Product to Sit in Your Hair for 2-3 Minutes

A common mistake with conditioner bars — and conditioner in general, really — is washing the product out of the hair too quickly. Remember all those hair-strengthening nutrients we were talking about earlier? Well, you need to give them a chance to penetrate the hair strands so they can make your hair soft, shiny and healthy! To ensure that the ingredients have enough time to sink into the strands, leave the product on for two to three minutes before you rinse it out.

 

 

HELPFUL TIPS AND TRICKS
  • Wet the conditioner bar before you apply it to your hair. This will help the bar glide more easily onto your hair and produce a better lather. 
  • Speaking of lather, don’t be alarmed if your conditioner bar doesn’t produce any foamy-looking suds. Our conditioner bars don’t produce a lather because they’re free from sulphates — the aggressive detergents that strip the natural oils from the scalp and hair.
  • Squeeze a little water out of your hair before you apply your conditioner bar. If your hair is dripping wet, the ingredients will simply run off the strands of your hair and go down the drain. You want your hair to be damp so that each strand can absorb the maximum amount of nutrients.
  • If you have long hair, make sure you thoroughly coat the ends. Consider holding just the ends in the palm of your hand and painting the conditioner bar onto them. 
  • Store your conditioner bar (and your shampoo bar!) on a soap dish with good drainage. This will prevent your bars from becoming mushy while extending their lifespan.  Additionally, keep your bars outside of the shower when you’re not using them.
  • Run your fingers or a wide-tooth bamboo comb through your hair to ensure the conditioner is evenly distributed all the way to your ends.
CAN I USE MY CONDITIONER BAR AS A LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER?

Yes, absolutely! Using a conditioner bar as a leave-in conditioner is a great way to save money, downsize your product arsenal and give your strands an extra boost of nutrients.

Unlike the liquid conditioner you might find at a grocery store, our conditioner bars are silicone-free, which means they’re less likely to cause build up that can weigh your hair down. For this reason, they’re a great leave-in treatment for those with curly hair in particular.
