A solid conditioner bar works differently from liquid conditioner, but once you get the hang of it, it’s incredibly easy.

Step 1: Start with very wet hair

Conditioner bars glide best on soaking wet hair. If needed, add more water before applying.

Step 2: Choose your application method

There are two effective ways to apply a conditioner bar:

• Option 1: Glide directly onto hair (best for most people): Wet the bar and gently glide it from mid-lengths to ends. For longer hair, tip your head to the side and stroke from the ends upward. Bundle hair together and massage through.
• Option 2: Apply with hands (great for fine or short hair): Rub the wet bar between your hands. Apply the conditioner from your hands onto your hair.

Avoid heavy application at the roots unless your scalp is very dry.

Step 3: Let it absorb

Leave the conditioner in for 1 – 2 minutes. This allows the plant butters and oils to smooth the hair cuticle.

Step 4: Massage and rinse thoroughly

Gently comb through with your fingers, then rinse well.

Pro Tips for Best Results

1. A little goes a long way. Conditioner bars are highly concentrated.
2. Focus on the ends if you have oily roots.
3. Store your conditioner bar in a well-drained dish to extend its life.
4. Pair with a matching shampoo bar for balanced results.

Once you have finished your favourite bar there will be nothing left but the cardboard box. Viva packaging is made using FSC certified, unbleached paper and printed with soy-based inks: meaning they won't transfer any nasties to your soil, plants or vegetables as they breakdown. Simply pop the box in your home compost or bury it your garden!
