To Use: Use on freshly shampooed, damp (not soaking) hair. Lather between hands and apply to hair in sections, working from end to root. For a thicker, creamer consistency, apply with less water. For a lighter conditioner, add more or apply to very wet hair. Let sit for 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Allow bar to dry out between uses by storing on a soap dish or out of the shower.
