Weekday Wonderings: All about conditioner bars!
Loads and loads of questions on making conditioner bars, so let's take a look at those!

SOLID CONDITIONER BAR RECIPE
60% Incroquat BTMS

2% fragrance or essential oil (I'm using my oily hair blend of equal parts cedarwood, sage, rosemary, and lime)
0.5% liquid Germall Plus
