Handcrafted Hair Conditioner Bar for Straight & Fine Hair

Formulated for straight and fine hair, this handcrafted conditioner bar relies on pumpkin seed oil, commonly used to support follicle vitality, and rice bran oil, a velvet-textured emollient used for sealing.

Cetearyl and cetyl alcohols emulsify the bar, add slip, and help lock in hydration, while behentrimonium methylsulfate is commonly used for detangling slip, and glycerin for sustained hydration.

Hair care engages touch at every step, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift buildup and surface bacteria from the hair and scalp (Bloomfield et al., 2007). Conditioning products add oils and lipids that smooth the hair surface and reduce fiber friction (Robbins, 2012). Styling and leave-in products add glide through the same surface smoothing, which lowers mechanical stress on the fibers during combing and styling (Robbins, 2012; Rele & Mohile, 2003). At any step, massage-like pressure on the scalp activates the touch receptors around the hair follicles (McGlone et al., 2014) and is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010).

Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
