1. A little goes a long ways. After one month of use this bar looks like it’s the same exact size to me lol! This thing really lasts!!
2. $18 seems like a lot to spend on conditioner but considering we can’t tell if it’s changed in size after one month; that means the price point is actually really good!
3. It does a good job.
4. It smells absolutely amazing!
5. I’ve had no issues with this conditioner bar.
The Bad:
1. When you first use it in the shower you can’t tell if it’s working or not lol. I conditioned my hair several times before deciding to give up and see what happens when it dries lol. I’ve used my ethique shampoo with conditioner and without and the bar does work. It does condition. it’s very unique though, and takes some adjusting.
2. Ethique shampoo bar is so good that I rarely have to use my conditioner bar. I notice a difference in my hair after. My hair is less frizzy when I use this bar. It’s not a necessary purchase because of this but I do love my conditioner bar regardless.... but... My hair is silky smooth, healthy, Shiny and is amazing both with and without the conditioner honestly. 🤷🏻♀️
3. Most of the negative reviews that I read were about the bars not lasting. $18 a month on conditioner was not going to be a feasible monthly buy for me. I have a corner shelf in my shower that is away from direct water but does not protect the bars from moisture. We’ve been using our bars for a month. (two adults using it every other day to every three days). In my opinion it looks like it did when I just took it out of the box lol. But.., I can see how this would be frustrating for people who doesn’t have a corner shelf, don’t want to buy the bar storage containers, can’t afford them, or anyone that just can’t deal with idea of moving the bars in and out of the shower with every use.
4. I use this bar the guardian conditioner, with heali kewi. For whatever reason my hair takes almost twice as long to dry sense I’ve switched to ethique. It may be my hair type but I can see how this could be problematic for others. Especially people with very curly hair. If you are concerned about this I recommend getting their sample pack.... although paying $16 for samples that you don’t know if you’ll like or not is a bit much in my opinion. I have seen a lot of amazing reviews from very curly haired people for the sweet and spicy ethique bar. The salt is supposed to be helpful. Since my curl pattern is restoring I do plan on trying that bar next, myself. I have washed my hair with just their shampoo bar(heali kewi) without the conditioner bar and it took a little bit longer to dry but not much longer. In my opinion if you have curly hair and need it to dry quickly this may be an issue for you. this product may not make you happy.
5. Because this product restores curling patterns on some people and causes tighter bouncier curls for other people who are trying to tame their curls this may be problematic.
Helpful info: the pic is of the bars after one month of use. The conditioner Bar comes out about half the size of the shampoo bar if not 1/3 but it also has not been used up in my opinion nearly at all. It’s the same size as far as I can tell from when I opened it! It has even kept its perfect shape compared to the shampoo bar that you can more easily tell has been used!

With regard to the Normal-Dry Hair, Guardian conditioner bar, I am in love too. It is amazing, smells good, and paired with the shampoo bar has made my hair feel amazingly soft, less frizz, and less hair loss. I don't even use product half the time because it makes my hair so smooth. Just an FYI for those not paying closer attention, the conditioner bar is smaller than the shampoo bar, but it looks like it will last just as long, maybe even longer than my shampoo bar. I do 3 swipes down the top of my head, one under by my neck, and two down the length of my hair (long hair). My husband uses it too and loves the way it makes his hair feel and keeps his scalp from itching. We are in love with these Ethique products!
Top reviews from other countries
The conditioner bar works great. It doesn't leave any kind of waxy residue on my hair. It left my hair really soft. And with the winter weather it works well enough that my hair isn't staticky. Overall it is a really good conditioner bar.
I gave 5 stars because the customer service was great and the product is really good. Mix ups can happen and they did a wonderful job getting my purchase to me.
Everyone loves the smell, I don't like sweet ones and this one is good for me.
I combine with "Faith in Nature" shampoo and the "Lush" leave-in products for curly hair.
This one is not cheap but I never found a cheaper that works well on my hair.
Not easy to spread on your hands but for me is not a problem, aI apply directly on hair.
It lasts forever, a good point about not spreading easily.
