Going plastic free has been just about the biggest headline in beauty news over recent years. We are all very keenly aware of the need to minimise waste, especially when it comes to our plastic wrapped beauty products.
But while abandoning bottles might feel fairly doable when you have short, manageable hair, it can be a whole other challenge if your mane is more abundant, a tad unruly or prone to dryness and breakage.
Ethique’s The Guardian conditioner bar is formulated for those among us who require more than just a simple morning rinse and rub dry.
Safe for use on colour treated hair, The Guardian is a deeply hydrating solid conditioner designed to help make dry and damaged hair more manageable.
This cardboard packaged solid bar is also completely plastic free, preventing five plastic bottles from being made and disposed of and saving 5.1L of water. And, for that matter, saving space in your shower rack.
Will this conditioner bar work with my hair?
For those of us with curly, frizzy and thick hair finding the right hair products can be a minefield.
Many products are too dense and oily, others just can’t penetrate the hair in the way you really need them to.
Generic shampoos, conditioners and styling products are a no-no and your bathroom cupboard is probably overflowing with failed wonder products that just did not live up to the hype or the price tag.
Ethique knows that we are all different and that is why their range of plastic-free shampoo and conditioner bars includes a whole array of options, including The Guardian, a solid conditioner bar for very dry, very damaged or very frizzy hair.
The Guardian contains plenty of highly conditioning coconut oil, a must for curls and waves, as well as zesty, refreshing lime oil.
This lightweight, tropical hair conditioner bar also serves up a dose of vitamin B5, otherwise known as pantothenic acid, to help smooth and tame damaged hair.
How to use Ethique The Guardian
Part of the beauty of this Ethique conditioner bar – aside from the fact that it minimises your plastic waste – is its ease of use.
After shampooing, simply slide the bar smoothly over your hair, massage gently in and leave for just a couple of minutes to let it really do its job while you relax.
As an added bonus The Guardian can also be used as a shaving bar or an in-shower moisturiser, helping to minimise the products you need for your daily shower routine.
How ethical is Ethique?
Paying more than just lip service to the environmental cause, the Ethique brand is about more than just plastic free shampoo and conditioner.
Founded in New Zealand back in 2012, way before plastic-free was really a ‘thing’, Ethique is a proudly certified sustainable and climate positive business, offsetting 120% of their carbon emissions as of March 2021.
Ethique hair and body care products are not just free of plastic, they are also palm oil-free and completely vegan too.

“I was buying the shampoo bar and wanted a conditioner bar to go with it. After reading soooo many reviews and comments I went with this one and it definitely works like a treat. My comb went through my locks brilliantly and my hair is conditioned and soft! Love it!”
Yes, I recommend this product.

“I've tried other conditioner bars but always come back to this one. Unlike other bars I have no difficulty transferring it onto my hair. Other bars can be a nightmare to use because they don't melt very easily - but not this one! Definitely worth the pennies!”
Yes, I recommend this product.

“I’ve been looking for a conditioner that didn’t come in a plastic bottle for some time. There seem to be lots of shampoo bars about but not conditioner bars. Then I stumbled across this while looking for something else and thought I’d give it a try. Takes a few times to get used to it - but once I got the hang of literally just rubbing the bar down my wet hair, leaving a few minutes then combing through before rinsing off, I was hooked. My tangle comb glides through my hair which is left feeling very silky. It doesn’t lather up but that doesn’t matter as it does what it’s supposed to - conditions your hair. It’s a hit with me 😊”
Yes, I recommend this product.

“Tried a few ethique conditioner bars (&others) many weigh hair down or don’t stop frizz. The Ethique one for curls didn’t work for me. I have fine wavey hair & seem to need pro-vit B5 to get smooth hair. This works well & I apply & clip hair up for 3-5 mins while I shave legs & voila smooth wavey hair afterwards. Ethique are a million miles better than other shampoo & conditioner bars!”
Yes, I recommend this product.

“I love this conditioner bar. It conditions the dry ends of my long hair that are prone to tangling, splitting and breaking. I love that I no longer am buying and recycling unnecessary plastic bottles.”
