It works!
This is my first time trying bar conditioner. Although I miss the creamy lather of regular conditioner, this stuff has been great for my hair. I switched to bar shampoo after Tresemme nearly destroyed my hair, and then I decided to try bar conditioner as well.First off, this stuff smells AMAZING. It is shaped like a little round honeycomb, which is super cute, and comes in a tin with a pad underneath to keep it from sticking to the bottom of the container. When I bought it, I read reviews saying not to use too much of it. This is correct. There is no lather. You barely feel it on your hands. The way I apply it is I give it a small rub between my hands and apply it the way one would apply a product to damp hair. I lightly run my hands over my hair all the way down, then go back and work it in deeper. You do not have to use much at all; you’ll be able to tell a difference in the feel of your hair though. If you use too much, your hair will become greasy faster.All that to say, this stuff works. It has a little bit of a learning curve, but my hair has never been healthier. The ingredients are SO much better for you than regular conditioner, and you’re keeping a ton of plastic bottles out of the landfill. I’ve been using the bar for months and I feel like it hasn’t even changed size. Definitely worth the money. Give it a try; you won’t go back to bottled conditioner.

tasmanian conditioner
This is the only conditioner bar I’m using again. The Tasmanian beer and honey conditioner leaves my hair soft and weightless. My hair is easily detangled and more manageable now. I’m never going back to regular conditioner again. Thank you beauty and bees ❤️🙂 I now have to try honey silk.

Works great!
I use this conditioner bar with the Tasmanian beer and honey shampoo and it works great on my hair! For those who have not used shampoo and conditioner bars before make sure you rinse your hair very well and if you can tolerate Cold water use it at the end of the shower it helps close the hair follicles. The shampoo lathers great and is just as soapy and bubbly as other shampoos and it’s all natural with no harsh chemicals or ingredients. When you use the conditioner bar be sure to only do the ends of your hair not your scalp or roots other wise the top of your hair will be oily and greasy looking. For those who suffer with dandruff like myself please no this does not cure it but can help keep the scalp clean and I use rosemary and clove spray I boil it with water and it’s great for treating dandruff u spray my scalp after washing brushing my hair and I have no dandruff. between using these products and my rosemary and clove spray my hair and scalp have never been better!

I liked the solid bar form
This worked very well for me. I liked the solid bar form. A lot of the ingredients are natural. It was fun to use and had a great honey smell and beeswax feel.However I bought it because I was taken in by the hype. The main ingredient is Behenalkonium Chloride, which is a quaternary ammonium salt (quat). It is a chemical, synonym BENZYLDOCOSYLDIMETHYL-CHLORIDE. Quarternary ammonium salts are a common chemical used in many hair conditioners. Dove Hair Therapy Daily Moisture conditioner also uses Behenalkonium Chloride. According to the Skin Deep website it is not considered to be toxic to humans but potentially toxic to the environment, although related quaternary ammonium compounds are toxic to humans (see Wikipedia).The company claims this product is 100% natural. Does this mean that the BDC is extracted from plants, or that it is made by chemical processing of plant materials? It's still a chemical made in a factory even if is chemically processed from botanical sources. Some jet fuel is made from plant materials like corn or coconut oil, and by that logic it could be said to be 100% natural.The justification for saying that Behenalkonium Chloride is a natural, non-chemical botanical may be that it is found in small amounts in plants. The same thing is true of trans-fats which are found in small amounts in natural animal products, yet the trans-fats in our foods are chemically produced and a serious health risk. The presence of a substance in small amounts in natural plants and animals does not mean that the substance is safe, especially when it is chemically produced and in much higher levels. Another example of a substance found naturally in small amounts in food that can be artificially produced in large, unsafe amounts is arsenic.Whole Foods Premium Body Care Standard does not allow Behenalkonium Chloride in products, although it does allow some gentler quats like guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride (WFM-Premium-Unacceptable-List-Dec5-2013_0.pdf).It is difficult to make a good hair conditioner without using a chemical quat because of their unique cationic properties. This quat is not the most unsafe, but it is also apparently not the gentlest.Although not the most gentle quat, it seems relatively harmless compared to its relative, benzalkonium chloride, which is often used in conditioners as well. However it seems to me to be somewhat deceptive to advertise the product as "100% natural" if it contains an ingredient that is chemically produced, even if present in very small amounts in some plants, artificially produced and not something humans have been using for thousands of years like olive oil or beeswax.I was fooled. The product description emphasizes beeswax and honey ("crafted from the precious beeswax and honey") and "100% natural", and it has the feel and smell of beeswax and honey. But those are minor ingredients, number 7 in the list. The main two ingredients are the same sort of artificially produced chemicals found in most hair conditioners. I give it four stars because I enjoyed using it and it worked very well, it uses a safer chemical quat than many other conditioners, and doesn't have an artificial preservative. However I only bought it be because I was fooled by the hype and did not yet know about the chemicals used in conditioners. I won't be buying it again because I am looking for a truly 100% botanical conditioner that at least meets Whole Foods' premium body care standard, but for most people it is a far safer product than most other commercial products.Burt's Bees makes a truly 100% natural conditioner.

Great Conditioner
I’m flying somewhere soon and I want to keep liquids in my luggage to a minimum. I decided to try this conditioner bar and I’m surprised at how well it works. I also appreciate that it comes with a tin to keep it in and that the packaging is kept to a minimum to help the environment.
