Natural Solid Conditioner Bar
This DIY natural conditioner bar is portable and helps hair stay soft and nourished.
Servings: 4 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup cocoa butter
- 3 TBSP mango butter (or shea butter)
- 2 TBSP emulsifying wax
- 1 TBSP jojoba Oil (or argan oil)
- 1 TBSP glycerin
- 2 TBSP aloe vera gel
- 20 drops lavender essential oil
- 20 drops rosemary essential oil
Instructions
- Add the cocoa butter, mango butter, jojoba oil, and emulsifying wax to the top of the double boiler. Heat over medium-low heat or until completely melted, whisking occasionally.
- While the oils are heating on the stove, combine the aloe vera, glycerin, and essential oils in a separate small bowl.
- Once the oils are completely melted, turn off the heat and slowly pour in the water based ingredients. Whisk continuously while pouring.
- Let the mixture cool in the fridge for about 30-40 minutes. Stir or whisk every 10 minutes until it's creamy looking, opaque, and the consistency of thick batter.
- Spoon the mixture into your molds and smooth out the top.
- Let cool in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until hardened. I left mine overnight.
- Use after shampooing (see more directions below). These also make a great skin lotion bar!
Notes
- From the research I’ve done this should be safe for color-treated hair. However, ask your hairstylist if you’re unsure.
- You can also apply a light layer of this to really dry hair for use as a leave-in conditioner.
