To me, a hair conditioner bar is something you rub over wet hair. The conditioner then emulsifies as it mixes with the water on your hair. The emulsified product can then be worked through the hair and either left on or rinsed off as the user prefers.
A conditioner bar requires an emulsifier to accomplish this transformation, but there isn't an emulsifier in this product. I'm wondering if the maker didn't list all of the ingredients. The ingredients listed would make a leave-on hair butter or hair oil, and I'd expect it to be a pretty heavy-bodied butter/oil best for hair that is fairly curly and coarse.
Cetyl alcohol is the only ingredient in the list that comes close to being an emulsifier, but it's not actually an emulsifier on its own. Not only that, but if the list is in decreasing order by weight, the cetyl alcohol is only a tiny % of the total. That doesn't make sense either, assuming this is an emuslfying conditioner. If it's not an emulsifying conditioner, then the small % of cetyl is probably used to increase the hardness/firmness of the product.
There are a lot of fats in this ingredients list. I normally use only 1 or 2 fats; I doubt I'd ever use a long list of fats unless I were selling this product and wanted more "label appeal". I do not have suggestions on the percentages to use. You'll have to experiment to see what works best for your preferences and your hair type.
When I make conditioner bars, the total weight of fats make up 10% or less of the total weight of the bar. My hair is fine, so more than 10% fat weighs down my hair and makes it limp and greasy. Most of the conditioner bar I make is the emulsifier; I normally use BTMS as the emulsifier since BTMS also functions as an oil-free conditioner.
It would be good if you wait a little longer for people to see your post and think about how to answer before "bumping" your post. If it has been a couple-three days with no answer, then certainly it's appropriate to say something to bump the post.
