With the increasing populariry of no-packaging or less-packaging products, shampoo bars and conditioning bars are quite a hype. I've shared a tutorial for this lovely conditioning bar last year in this blog post and I tweaked it a little bit to make the rinsing easier and the after feel more silky. This formulation is actually a hybrid of conditioner and a sculpting balm and is more suitable for dry hair.
