JR Liggett’s Original Formula Conditioner Bar Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

JR Liggett’s Original Formula Conditioner Bar is a bar conditioner that is moisturizing and frizz-fighting, but it doesn't weigh down hair or leave behind an oily residue. Hair is left soft, smooth and manageable, and it has a wonderful natural herbal aroma that is thoroughly pleasant and uplifting.

According to JR Liggett's,

JRL’s Conditioner Bar is luxurious and so easy to use. You can use your hands to apply sparingly or rub it directly on to your hair for more conditioning. Just lightly rinse before drying. You will quickly notice a clean, softer, and smoother texture to your hair. A comb will simply glides through your tangle free hair, leaving it soft and natural feeling. Beautiful and comfortable, with a healthy natural sheen. No fly away, drab looking hair.

Contained in a recyclable paper box is a thin paper pouch holding the conditioner bar. This pouch is not waxed or chemically finished. It is fully recyclable, compostable, and100% biodegradable. It helps retain the bars freshness, and extends the wholesome and pure, organic essential oils used to scent our unique and natural conditioner bars.

Ingredients above

Overall Assessment: I really like this conditioner, and it not only conditions my curly hair, but it also leaves it manageable and free of frizz and fly-aways without weighing it down.

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

The Bootleg Bath Growth Formula Conditioner Bar is a hair conditioner that is formulated to stimulate hair growth and scalp health. This nourishing, and antioxidant-rich, conditioner nourishes and moisturizes the hair and scalp without leaving the hair limp or greasy. I do not have their matching shampoo that works in tandem with this conditioner, but I will say that my hair looks and feels nourished, frizz-free and very well conditioned when I use this conditioning bar. I can't detect any additional hair growth to substantiate those claims, but I assume that I would need to use it much longer and in conjunction with the shampoo bar from this collection. I have, however, been using their Bootleg Bath Hydrating Shampoo Bar (Reviewed HERE), and it is delight to senses, and the grapefruit and bergamot aroma really lifts the spirits. This cruelty-free shampoo bar is formulated for dry hair in need of some hydration, and it works quite well on my curly hair.
