In recent years I have made a lot of travel, from Texas to Iceland and everything in between. And while I love to experience new things, I don’t always love to travel with Liquid conditioner and shampoo. This nutritious conditioner bar recipe is ideal for traveling or even use at home!

The best conditioners are those who disguise the hair, are moisturizing and have no sketchy ingredients. I have this homemade hair conditioner that I like, but sometimes it’s nice to have a solid conditioner -bar.

What is in a conditioner?

Shampoo bars have been for hair care routines in style for some time. Years ago I shared a contribution with a recipe for a moisturizing shampoo bar. It is basically handmade soap that loosens and cleans the hair with natural ingredients. Conditioner beams are similar, but use moisture more ingredients instead of soaps and cleaning agents. They are popular as an environmentally friendly (and even zero waste) alternative to regular shampoo & conditioner.

There are many cleaner versions, but most of them still contain the beet trimonium -method or chloride. This chemical is made from rapeseed oil (often GMO) and extracted with solvents (also no healthy option). Although the end result is technically safe, it is certainly not very natural. There are mixed reviews of this component, but the safety data is a little missing. So I wanted to create a conditioner bar that she skipped.

I like that DIY concept rods are an easy way to skip the parabens, silicones and sulfates in conventional shampoos. You can even create a fragrance-free conditioner bar. They are also plastic -free individual use because they can skip the plastic bottles.

It is easy enough to create a bar based on oil. These are well suited for damaged hair, dry hair, curly hair and powerful hair. However, they can be too heavy for certain hair types. And if you use too much, the hair can feel the feeling that it is down, greasy or frizzy.

Ingredients for natural conditioner poles

Some of my daughters and I have long hair, so I wanted something that would work well without making it greasy. And while some of us are blessed with natural curls, my hair is definitely straight and finer.

This recipe for conditioner -Bar contains some lighter ingredients such as glycerin and aloe in the mix. And instead of beeswax, it uses cocoa butter and mango butter to harden the bar. I also added hair lovers such as Jojoba (or argan) oil and lavender and rosemary oils. These promote healthy hair and let it smell good! If you want an immediate version, you can skip the essential oils, but you give effective health benefits.

Since the recipe uses both water and oil solving ingredients, I also use emulsifying wax. This helps to combine all ingredients. I usually pour the hot liquid into my silicone shapes when I make lotion bars (a similar process) when I finish. For this recipe, you have to stir yourself to cool off to prevent the mixture from separating.

This recipe is pretty simple and basically contains melting, stirring and pouring. It makes the hair soft and smells fantastic! Try it together with this DIY shampoo bar.

How to use a DIY conditioner -Bar

A little is enough a long way! Avoid using too much conditioner because your hair can feel greasy. And since the scalp of course produces oils, most people do not have to condition them.

1. Grate a layer of conditioner bars on your hands.
2. Grate your hands to the end of your hair and work on. Avoid the scalp.
3. Use very warm water to further dispel the oils.
