After shampooing, just massage the wet bar over the ends of your hair until they’re saturated, then let sit for a few mins and rinse—just like your ordinary conditioner. Many people only apply the conditioner bar to the ends of their hair, so try that too. You may not need to apply conditioner near your scalp.

When you only need a little conditioning, rubbing the bar between your hands then wiping your hands all over your wet hair is an easy way to apply the conditioner. It will lock in moisture and help reduce frizzies. Try it a few times applying different amounts until you find the right amount for your hair. Unlike your normal conditioner, Tangie zero waste conditioner bars are super concentrated, so they last and last and last! You will get 60+ uses from one bar, making it an economical choice too!

We know you’re skeptical – do they really work you ask? Yes, they really do moisturize your hair as well as traditional conditioners, just without any of the questionable junk and plastic bottle waste. Unlike regular liquid or cream conditioners, conditioner bars are totally solid and aren’t housed in plastic bottles. We package our conditioner bars in lightweight cardboard boxes which can be home-composted or recycled making them a much more eco-friendly option than conventional conditioners. We also offer zero waste conditioner bars sans packaging!

Whether you ascribe to the Curly Girl Method, or some other variation of natural hair-ism, you’ve probably made it a general practice to be alarmed by anything that contains the word “sulfate.”, like sodium, ammonium, and other lauryl and laureth sulfates which are incredibly harsh detergents with a propensity for drying, frizzing, and wreaking havoc on natural hair. However, behentrimonium methosulfate is not one of the bad guys.1 It is actually one of the mildest detangling ingredients around, and helps provide slip in some of your favorite conditioners. Behentrimonium methosulfate does not cause buildup, and is non-irritating to the scalp.

Tangie Conditioner Bars also give you versatility. Unlike its bottled predecessor, a zero waste conditioner bar can be used in several ways. Use as an In-Shower Rinse, In-Shower Soft Bar or Leave-In Conditioner.

HOW TO SOFTEN THE BAR.

• Place one conditioner bar inside a lidded container.
• Fill with a few ounces of water to cover the bar, let sit for 24 hours, flipping over half way through for each side of the bar to soak up water.
• The bar will plump up in size and will be soft, like the texture of cream cheese.
• The more water you use, the larger and softer the bar gets.
• After the initial soak, you can easily adjust the water to bring the bar to a softness you like best.
• Use a container that is wider than the bar to accommodate the increase in bar size and for you to be able to easily remove it once softened.
• This bar will last you for months, even with regular use.

HOW TO USE & STORE

Keep your bar dry between uses unless you are planning to use the bar in other ways such as In-Shower Soft Bar or as a Leave-In Conditioner. To keep your Conditioner Bar dry between use, a simple Conditioner Drying Disk works best and looks great in your bathroom.

Wipe your hands all over your wet hair. Be generous. It will lock in moisture and help reduce frizzies. Repeat if necessary. Try it a few times applying different amounts until you find the right amount for your hair.
