If you’re exploring natural haircare, a conditioner bar is a fantastic place to start. Not only are they gentle on your hair, but they’re also eco-friendly and zero-waste. If you’re new to solid conditioners, don’t worry — we’ve put together a simple guide so you can enjoy soft, smooth, nourished hair.
How to Use a Conditioner Bar
Like any new product, it may take a few tries to get used to — your conditioner bar might feel a little different when applying, but your hair will love it once you rinse it out!
-
Start with wet, shampooed hair
-
Make sure your hair is thoroughly wet — this helps you get the best product payoff.
-
-
Slide the bar onto your hair
-
Run the conditioner bar directly down your hair 4–5 times, focusing on mid-lengths and ends where strands tend to be drier.
-
If your hair is oily, avoid applying conditioner to the roots.
-
Top tip: For thick hair, separate it into 2–4 sections and apply the bar to each section for even coverage.
-
-
Massage and distribute
-
Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to spread the conditioner evenly.
-
Leave for 1–2 minutes to let it penetrate and work its magic.
-
-
Rinse thoroughly, Dry and style as usual
-
Wash the conditioner out with warm water.
-
Your hair will feel smooth, soft, and shiny — ready to go!
-
Should You Apply Conditioner to the Roots?
As a general rule, conditioner is applied to mid-lengths and ends, since these areas tend to be drier.
-
If you have oily hair, avoid roots entirely.
-
If your hair is thick or curly, a little conditioner on the roots and scalp can help nourish and soften your hair.
-
If unsure, swipe the bar from your ear line down, massage, comb through, leave 1–2 minutes, then rinse.
