Why a bar and not a bottle?
-
Most bottled conditioners are made up of mostly water, even as much as 90%. Conditioner bars are package free and concentrated and can be equivalent to 2-3 bottles of conditioner. They are great for travel, excellent space savers and can also be used as a shaving bar or in- shower body lotion bar. Earth Ant encourages sustainable lifestyle change. Ditch the plastic! Be an active consumer and choose body products that are beneficial to your body and the environment. This bar is 100% plastic free, and supports a circular economy, eliminating waste and minimising the continual use of our diminishing resources.

08/07/2024, By Jemma AlexaLove the richness of this product and it leaves my hair smelling fresh. I do however feel that it weighs curly hair down if application is direct and not rubbed into the hands first. Make sure to heat the bar properly before applying.19/12/2023, By KatyI have fine blonde hair and this product absolutely destroyed the condition of my hair. It stripped it of its shine and left it dry and damaged. My hairdresser was shocked at the impact it had and had to cut off a great deal of my hair to repair the damage. The bar was also unpleasant to use, lost its shape and firmness and worked out more expensive than my usual commercial brand as it did not last long.28/11/2023, By ColleenFinding a zero waste environmentally friendly hair conditioner is nigh impossible. This product gets a hard no from me! My hair was dull, the conditioner didn't wash out properly and the bar was really difficult to use.31/01/2023, By ClaireI have been using it for about two months now. I use another brand shampoo bar and that is lovely, but this conditioner bar...nope.
It does not feel as if you are putting conditioner on, and it does not come with directions.
The bar also broke into pieces and is now very difficult to use.
I don't recommend it.08/01/2023, By TamrynWould highly reccomend if you want to TRANSITION from artificial to natural products. Don't expect it to work overnight, it takes a few weeks for hair to adjust. At first your hair is super greasy and straw-like BUT then something magical happens and your hair is fine on it's own. I used this a few years ago and now I don't wash my hair anymore and it never gets greasy. It's also easy to brush through as apposed to when I was a kid and brushed my knotty hair for hours. It does however smell like wet dog and my hair is a little bit stiff, not soft like in the hair ads. But that's what I'm willing to tolerate. I wouldn't continue to use this product after the transition phase because it just isn't super user-friendly. I think it lasts long, I can't remember.23/08/2022, By AdriI have curly hair and though I would not follow the instructions to use sparingly. USE SPARINGLY! it does take getting used to not having traditional conditioner in your hands but once you get the hang of it it works well. I just wash my hair and after that take the dry bar and pull it down on my hair against my body. once over each section. and then comb it through before rinsing. shame as I would have done with normal conditioner. the key is not to over apply.21/05/2022, By AnneI'm still trying to finish this bar, I can't get it right and honestly such hot water can't be good for my hair. This is not working for my extra long straight hair, but it does last long.03/04/2022, By CandiceI wish I'd read the reviews properly on here before purchasing. I agree with what most have said: it is very difficult to lather and doesn't feel like it is treating the hair much at all. Not even sure what to do now because it feels terrible as a hand soap/body conditioner (as suggested by the company in the description) too. I have straight, thin air.18/02/2022, By Lynnefreaky sticky hard to apply... but very sparing application is key.
First use left my fine straight hair greasy and looking unwashed,
However sparing application only to the ends helps to tame the fly away ends. still trying to get the hang of it, at least I am not allergic to it as I am to normal liquid conditioners.14/07/2021, By RozlynnI wanted to give this product a try as my daughter has crazy curly hair that needs buckets of conditioner and im trying to eliminate as much plastic from our lives as possible. The very first time we used it it was like magic, her hair was soft and the knots just glided out. Thereafter we have been struggling to make it work well. I also think that softening it up in hot water makes it work better. I do my daughters hair so i am finding putting it on someone else's hair very challenging. I do think you need to maybe do it in a warm shower so that all the wax can melt and be combed through while in the shower. Hoping to make a better go at it in summer. I do love the smell and the convenience for travelling tho!13/07/2021, By MelissaAt first I used way too much, as it doesn't lather well. Couldn't get it all washed out properly. Then, the next time I used too little. I can't figure out how to use it. I'm considering using it as hand soap. :(22/06/2021, By MagiI'm still trying to figure out how to use it. It can easily leave my hair ( dead-straight, thick, Caucasian hair) feeling very greasy. Here is my current process: 1. Make the water very hot to get the soap to melt onto my hands a little. 2. Still using the very hot water rub the soap from my hands into my hair. 3. Still under the very hot water, take a hair brush and brush through my hair until the soap is out of my hair. I would love to hear from the product owners if they have any tips for us :)02/06/2021, By DeniseWould never recommend. It is awful.08/05/2021, By LuaneVery sticky, does not glide over hair, pulls out some hairs while trying to apply. I personally prefer a conditioner bar that isn't this sticky (it's almost clay-like)05/05/2021, By EmAs much as i wanted to love it, it just doesn't work for my hair. I know it takes time for hair to get used to a new natural product but it's been a couple months.
The shampoo bar i adore but the conditioner doesn't work for me04/05/2021, By ChevonneI was not too crazy about the soap, the idea is brilliant but to actually use it was a bit difficult.23/04/2021, By CharneyThis bar is horrible it is like a bar of wax that does not work at all I would not reccomend this at all13/04/2021, By EI so badly wanted a conditioner bar, but I really do not like it. It leaves my hair tangled and sticky. I have had it for about 4 months now, and I've tried using more, using less, using different shampoos with it, but I can't get it to function as a conditioner at all.03/04/2021, By NadiaMakes your hair feel soft. However, as they say use it very sparingly.20/03/2021, By TamIt is quite waxy and difficult to spread onto thick hair. I don't know how it works on thinner/straighter hair. I personally wouldn't buy again.01/03/2021, By SidraI tried this as it's a lot cheaper than the equivalent at Lush, where I've bought conditioner bars before. It's definitely great on dry and frizzy hair. I absolutely loved it. It needed hot water and warm bathroom to really work well on my curly, frizzy mop. And yes, it's a great skin conditioner too! On my husband's straighter hair, it was less successful.01/03/2021, By HelenThis product did not work well for me at all! Too sticky and difficult to wash out.
I would not recommend the conditioner at all, however the shampoo bar works.04/02/2021, By TanikaImpossible to apply to hair, similar consistency to a wax candle basically! Because your hair is wet the bits that actually come off just sit on strands of your hair like actual wax!!23/12/2020, By JacquiI didn’t take the instructions seriously the first time I used it, and used what I felt would be a “normal” amount of conditioner. I rubbed it on my head until I could feel it. But soon realised that I had put waaay more on my hair than what was required! My hair felt as tho it had been soaked in beeswax!
On my second try I just rubbed a little on the tips of my hair, and that seemed to work better. It’s a very different way of conditioning hair and it’s taken me a while to adjust. Especially because it doesn’t feel like I’ve put it on my hair when I actually have! So I’ve erred a number of time resulting in that beeswax feel and subsequently it feels like my hair gets greasier quicker than it usually does.
I would recommend this product as long as it is understood that the application is different to the usual bottle conditioner.
Love the fragrance. Thrilled with plastic-free-ness. I will happily use up this bar until its done, but will most likely try out another “conditioner bar” to see what other producers offer.11/11/2020, By JenipherIt works very well for me, I have an African afro. I rub it in from my roots to the rest of my hair and I love the results, keeps my hair moisturised♥️06/11/2020, By KimVery waxy and leaves hair feeling heavy and oily. Does not detangle hair and leaves it feeling sticky.21/10/2020, By SusieIt took me a few washes to work out the right amount for my hair but its definitely less frizzy & love that it's totally plastic & nasties free20/10/2020, By DianeIt was hard to move through my wet hair. Left it sticky. I had to reshampoo to get it out. A pity18/10/2020, By JacquelineThis bar works really well for my long curly hair to tame it and give it definItion! I'm so used to using liquid style conditioner that it took a few washes to get used the way to use a bar on my hair. But I can feel how it detangles, how it moisturisers and nourishes my hair. And I love the fragrance!17/10/2020, By DanI have been using this conditioner bar for the past 3 weeks. I was a little sceptical, since I tend not to use conditioner. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I have thick, dry curly hair and it helped to tame it. Even if I don't shampoo my hair I still use the conditioner bar kind of like a hair wax or a gel.17/10/2020, By KARENI found it very greasy, it took at least 4 shampoos to get it out of my hair
