Is there such thing as a hair conditioner bar?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, yes. Just like you have liquid shampoo and liquid conditioner, you can use solid shampoo bars and solid conditioner bars. This post gives you a DIY conditioner bar recipe you can make and try at home.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, shampoo bar users find that they don’t need to use conditioner at all. However, those of you with extra dry or curly hair probably find that the more moisture, the better. If you don’t want to make your own scroll down for product recommendations, including the best hair conditioner bar for curly hair (click here to buy<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditioner bars are all about moisture, moisture and… even more moisture.  We use oils and butters to increase hair moisture and dryness. It is important to get the mix right, so that you don’t end up with oily, greasy hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important notes about solid hair conditioner bars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hair conditioner bars are not as common as shampoo bars. This is because, as we stated earlier, some shampoo bar users find that their hair is so soft after washing that it doesn’t need conditioning. Win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because they aren’t as common, they can be hard to find. A lot of ready-made conditioner bars can feel a bit greasy. My favorite is by Ethique (scroll down to the bottom to read for more). Obviously this post is about making your own, so keep reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditioner bars contain moisturizing butters and oils, and because of this, they can take longer to rinse out. You need to use quite warm \/ hot water, and rinse for a long time. If you don’t rinse for long enough, some residue will stay in your hair. Curly haired people won’t mind. You often leave a bit of conditioner in on purpose to help tame the frizz. But if you want to make sure it is completely rinsed out, make sure you rinse for longer than usual. Use hot water, and follow with an Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse. ACV is a cleansing conditioner that leaves your hair feeling clean and soft. The best by far is Braggs ACV<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And on to a hair conditioner bar recipe. This recipe is loosely based on one I saw somewhere on the web, with a few adaptations of my own. Unfortunately I no longer have the original source to credit, but I am grateful! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don’t need any specialized equipment to make solid hair conditioner bars. You will have most of what you need in the kitchen already. If you don’t, there is normally something you can substitute. You will need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Either a double boiler, or a pot \/ saucepan with a pyrex or stainless steel bowl on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Spoon or something to stir with<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Soap molds (you can use silicon baking molds too).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Measuring spoons and a cup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We have listed the ingredients in a handy table, describing what each is, and the properties – i.e. why you want to put in in your hair conditioner bar recipe. You can click on the product recommendations to see each product and the latest Amazon prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you already make beauty products at home, great! There is a good chance you already have some, if not all, of the ingredients to make a really good conditioner bar at home. You’ll notice argan oil on the list Argan oil conditioner is especially great for dry or curly hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What is it and what does it do?<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td>

    What else can you use?<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td>

    Recommended product (see on Amazon)<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td><\/tr>

    BTMS-50<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td>

    About half a cup<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td>

    BTMS-50 usually comes in containers of small white beads.  It is a catatonic emulsifying wax.  Catatonic means it has a positive charge - it leaves a fine coating on hair and skin and conditions your hair really well.<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/td>

    In this recipe, you can't really substitute anything else - it's crucial for the finished product.  You can find recipes for conditioner bars that don't use this, but they will usually be harder to rinse out.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/td>
