Product Description
Australia’s first 100% natural conditioner in a bar!
Honey Silk Natural Hair Conditioner Bar – for perfect hair naturally!
Sam: “I have thick, wavy/curly hair, and ordinary conditioners and shampoos leave me with a frizzy mess. This conditioner soap doesn’t. Finally – I have ‘normal’ hair. It just lies down, like normal hair, instead of springing about like a curly mess. And I don’t have to wash my hair as often as I do with supermarket conditioner.” (Review)
What is it ?
Super concentrated (over 130 uses based on short hair washed daily!) gentle, 100% natural and long lasting, our unique Solid conditioning Bars give you a no fuss- no waste way to have healthy shiny hair ….without paying for water, plastic bottles going to landfill and choking our oceans, or polluting chemicals in waterways.
Who is it for ?
Great for daily use on all hair types including fine, chemically treated/coloured/permed hair, with super mild eco/skin friendly ingredients, natural plant derived conditioning agents (no synthetic silicones), luxurious nourishing plant oils and butters, moisturising, protective panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B 5) and herb infusion ( nettle, horsetail ) to promote healthy hair and scalp and to moisturise and condition without heaviness or residue.
Moisturising, and detangling, rinses out completely, leaving hair very soft and glossy. Great for travel; you can even take it in your carry-on! Unscented for those with sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis or allergies.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH! Less is DEFINITELY more as this product is super concentrated…
Rinse well immediately for light conditioning or leave for a few minutes for deep conditioning.
How to use a natural conditioner bar
Rachel –
First time using the beautiful smelling honey silk conditioner bar today and I am super happy with it, I had read the reviews and they are correct, you only need a little and I just worked through with my fingers and left it on a minute or two, washing it out my hair felt Amazing! So beautiful and soft and no tangles. I purchased the apple silk rince as well but have not used it yet think will be good for in between uses of this lovely rich conditioner.. Great job Beauty & The Bees for making natural products that work so well..

Iv’e been using this conditioner bar for about 9 months now and it is really great. I have curly 2c/3a hair and I found my curly hair needed a bit of extra moisture, even though the ACV rinse is really good. A little does go a long way, but I do wish it was a little bigger, as I use it every time I wash my hair and my hair is quite long, so I go through it quite quickly. Other than that I would really recommend this product for a more natural alternative and have really put it to the test – it takes a while to get used to it (and the ACV rinse) but now I can’t go back and swear by it 🙂

I switched to Beauty and the Bees shampoo and conditioner bars about a year ago and I have never been happier! The conditioning bar is so rich and nourishing, and it lasts such a long time as a little goes a looong way!
The conditioner has a very subtle smell that isn’t overpowering and is very easy to apply to the hair. I have below the shoulder, wavey hair – and I find just running the bar over the ends of my hair does wonders!
I have recommended this product and the shampoo bars to my mum and partner and they love them!

I tried the shampoo bar and the honey silk bar twice. They are awesome. My hair is far less frizzy, and is strong, soft and shiny. My scalp is healthy, less itchy and less dry patch. Really great product, thank you.

Cass –
I’ve tried a few other conditioning bars the last few years but this is my all time favourite and I will only use this now! (Side note: Don’t ever stop making it, it really is the best!) I have fine curly hair and use it weekly after shampooing with the Moroccan Mud shampoo bar (would also recommend voodoo shampoo). My hair is in great condition, it’s simply and waste free and I love that there is no overpowering scent. Also love that it is Tassie made. Stick with it if you’re making the switch from conventional shampooing – it took about 6 weeks for my hair to adjust but it was so worth it!
Claire Brodribb –
Thank you for taking the time to write a review Cass, we really appreciate it.
We are really happy you love the shampoo and conditioner and hope you continue to enjoy our beautiful hand made products 🙂

Melanie –
Out of all the products I bought to try this is by far my favourite. For the first few days I used this as my hair was so damaged and dry and the ends were in terrible condition but with the combination of this conditioner and the Moroccan mud shampoo bar my hair has transformed! I no longer need to use the conditioner but because I love it so much I’ve decided to use it as a weekly conditioning treatment. I’ve already ordered to more
Claire Brodribb –

Annette –
This bar was gifted to me and in all honesty, out of all the conditioners I’ve used in my life (I’m now 57) this has been the the best ever conditioner I’ve ever had. When it was gifted to me I saw this bar and in all honesty my inner doubting Thomas though.. pfft it won’t work and it’s small.
Ok so a year on.. I was still using it and it made my hair SO soft with just a little bit of product.
Re-ordered 2 of them today.
Seriously, if you’re reading the reviews to see if you want to buy it. BUY it. You will be utterly amazed.
Claire Brodribb –
Wow! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! Yes, with Honey Silk conditioner bar (actually, with all of our products) a little bit goes a long way. Thanks again from all of us in Tasmania
Amy Young –
I have tried many natural conditioners for my long thick hair, but no matter how much I pay, I always get a lot of flyaway and frizz and have to use a lot to get a vaguely satisfactory result. I purchased the starter pack with this conditioner bar sample and was absolutely amazed at the result. My hair felt soft and shiny and looks really healthy. So I am back to buy a full sized bar for further use.
Claire Brodribb –
Thank you for your kind words and taking the time to write, we appreciate it.

Georgia –
I find I have to use a fair amount of this product and rub the bar directly into my hair (as opposed to the recommendation of rubbing between palms and then smoothing palms through hair). Because of this I feel like the bar might not last all that long. I only use it twice a week and I’ve used it about 5 times and I’d say the bar is about half its original size. Also, not to be too negative, but I find that my showers take a LOT longer these days with the three step process of shampoo bar, conditioner bar and apple cider rinse. Maybe it’s just me and my thick, dry hair, but it takes me quite a while to lather up enough product and then let it sit for a minute or two. I love using these products for the environments’ and my hair’s sake, but I feel like there’s a bit of a trade off with my increased water consumption.
BUT aside from all that, once I get enough product in my hair, it kind of needs a second to sit and absorb and then it feels silky and amazing! I was worried my bleached hair would get too dry if I ditched traditional conditioners, which I used to use a TONNE of every wash, but it feels equally strong and healthy (if perhaps just slightly drier, but I don’t have that layer of silicone and chemicals on top of my hair any more). It also smells terrific!
Claire Brodribb –
Thank you for taking the time to write Georgia, we appreciate it.
Sometimes your hair takes some time to get used to our shampoo’s, you shouldn’t need to use a lot of it, you could try a different one or try one of our scalp brushes, the Healthy Hair Starter Pack is a great way to purchase for first time users as it allows you to sample the bars without purchasing a full one, it also comes with a conditioner sample and Clarifying Rinse. Make sure your shampoo is kept out of water as much as possible when not in use, this will help it last longer, we have a Air Dry Soap Saver that helps with this.
We’re glad you persevered and like the products 🙂
Regards Beauty & the Bees team.
Kat –
About six months ago a friend gave me a sample of the Honey Silk Conditioner and I haven’t stopped thanking her.
This product leaves my hair gloriously soft and shiny without that weighed down feeling some standard conditioners can. It’s easy to use and great value for money and friendly to the environment.
I have since purchased the full size bar and many other Beauty and the Bees products and been extremely happy with them all.
Claire Brodribb –
Thank you so much for your kind words Kat, we are really happy you are enjoying the Conditioner.
We appreciate you taking the time to write, thank you.

This conditioner leaves my hair feeling lovely and soft. My hair has never felt better. Please note that I have long hair and this natural conditioning bar makes my hair feel amazing!

Adriana –
This product saved my hair! I was very skeptical about transitioning to bar shampoos and conditioner because I have heavily damaged hair from multiple bleaches and my hair has been extra dry no matter what treatment I was doing. After chemical shampoo my hair would turn into a big mop impossible to detangle and I had to use CRAZY amount of conditioner to have decent hairs. Because of my hair situation I did not think that this conditioner would work on my hair. After few uses I am just in love with it! It leaves my hair extra soft with NO TANGLES. I did not think my hair could feel this good and nourished. Even few days after the shampoo my hair still feel soft which is crazy to me. I could not thank you enough for creating this product.
I am still trying to understand which one is the the perfect shampoo for my hair, I have tried a few (Voodoo, lemon and chamomile, hemp) my next purchase I think I will try the maroccan one and the beer shampoo!
Claire Brodribb –
Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to write and your kind words, we really appreciate it.
We are really happy the product is working so well for you.
I would suggest purchasing a Healthy Hair Starter Pack and choosing your shampoo choices that way, this will allow you to try sample sizes to see which one suits your hair best without purchasing a full bar 🙂
Madi McDiarmid –
While switching to the all natural dhamooos, I found that I didn’t seem to need a conditioner as I have thick, naturally oily hair. However, I didn’t want to waste this so I used it as a shave cream. IT IS AMAZING. It gave me the smoothest shave that I’ve ever had in my entire life. Will definitely purchase another bar for shaving when this runs out! I will try it again on my hair once my hair has adjusted fully, but for now, it will be my regular shaving cream.
Claire Brodribb –
Hi Madi – how amazing! We never considered this could be used as a shave cream, but we are thrilled you found a use for it and it has worked wonders for you (in an unexpected way!).
Thank you for your support and taking the time to write this review.
Kind regards,
Beauty and the Bees team
Jo –
I found this product quite versatile as a leave in conditioner as well as a softening conditioner in the shower. I love how soft my hair feels and the way the curls now bounce! Thank you.
The tin makes it so easy to travel with, this way I can take my hair regime with me!
Claire Brodribb –
Hi Jo,
That’s fantastic you have found more than one use for our Honey Silk Hair Conditioner Bar! We have also found it is great as a leave in conditioner and others have commented that it’s really good at defining curls.
Thank you so much for the review!
All the best,
Beauty and the Bees team
Anna Bennett –
This product is awesome. My hair is far less frizzy, and is strong, soft and shiny. It’s also lasting amazingly well – I got a sample bar as part of the sample pack, and six weeks of use (I think – it might be seven!) and the sample bar is still going strong – judging by how much I’ve used, I think I’ll get another six weeks out of it at least. Love it!
Claire Brodribb –
Thanks for your feedback, Anna. Yes, our products are really great value for money!
Beeo0697 –
I bought this product because I found the shampoo bars alone, with or without the cider vinegar rinse, made my hair too dry and frizzy. Am very impressed with the conditioner bar – don’t need very much, but get the same results I would get from traditional conditioner.
Claire Brodribb –
Hi, this might because you have tried the wrong Shampoo for your hair, we have a Healthy Hair Starter Pack that has our whole range of 14 shampoo’s or you can get a 3 or 6 sample pack, this is well worth a try and comes with samples of Conditioner and Apple Silk Clarifying Rinse. We also have fantastic help video’s on our Website you might like to take a look at.
I hope these suggestions help.
Anna Bennett –
Brilliant product. I got a sample bar with the trial pack of shampoo bars and have already ordered more. My hair is soft and shiny and in combination with the apple silk clarifying rinse, not tangled in the slightest.
Claire Brodribb –
Thank you for your review, Anna!
Debbie Davis –
Love this conditioner, it leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth and makes a huge difference to the frizz factor of my curly hair. Would highly recommend it and will keep using it. Thank you. Also love the plastic free packaging and postage.
Claire Brodribb –
Thank you, Debbie!

Dan –
I have fine, long curly hair and I live in a humid subtropical region. I have tried so many conditioners in search of a solution to the tangles and frizz. Beauty and the Bees Honey silk hair conditioner bar is the holy grail of conditioners. It works in the shower and it also works mixed with a little water as a leave-in conditioner. Bonus points for being SO easy to carry when you travel. Brilliant. Thank you Beauty and the Bees!
Elisa –
Firstly, I love the soft silky feel of my hair as a result of using this conditioner. Secondly, I also noticed it has greatly reduced the frizz even in humid weather. And to top it off, there is less clutter in my small shower cubicle without all the bottles!
Marta Vincent –
My go-to conditioner bar. I find this one far better than the tasmanian beer bar for my blonde (balayage) hair. I just smoosh it into the ends of my hair after shampooing, and following up with the apple cider rinse. I’m certain this conditioner has helped remove tangles and makes it easier to brush my hair. The hair feels silky and amazing!
Claire Brodribb –
Thank you for your kind words Marta and for taking the time to write this, as a small business we appreciate it.
Xin –
I have fairly strong Asian long hair, however, i tortured it with perm and colours, resulted in dry and very very unhealthy looking hair. My partner used the Beer Shampoo 20 years ago, and suggested me to try as well. Oh boy boy…miracles. Firstly, i have never been able to have silky feeling hair since i damaged my hair a year ago. Now that im using this Conditioner Bar in shower, and i particularly leave it in my hair for a few minutes by wearing a shower cap as well, oh boy boy,…the moment when i take the shower cap down and start raising my hair, you can imagine my smiling face but more of the shockkkk… my hair is sooooo silky and soft that i have never been dreamed of to have!!! 😀 i didnt even have to comb it as i am just so sure my comb will just run through my hair from roots to end without any resistance! I am now feeling healthier again, plus i have trimmed out the bad ends, so it makes my hair feels more healthier than before. My hair looks shiny and healthy after it drys, and i would apply some organic coconut oil throughout my hair and the Body Butter Balm Bar for moistening the ends… done! Happy finish ^_^
Claire Brodribb –
Wow Xin, great feedback and especially valued from an Asian Hair client as we are always unsure as to how/what products suit whom, hard to recommend sometimes…but Yay for you and your now silky hair!!
Sarah –
Holidaying in Tasmania I came across this product in a shop in Richmond – was the perfect travelling hair conditioner! Small in size, but fantastic on the hair, made it so silky soft. I bought a second tin in Salamanca markets to take back to the UK with me. Will definitely be getting some more as not seen anything like it in the natural hair products conditioner range! The water is very hard in Suffolk, so hoping for the same results as in Australia!
Louise –
This product is wonderful. Using this conditioner and the lemon and chamomile shampoo bar, I can go almost a week without washing my hair and it is still clean smelling and fresh (and we have had some very hot weather here in Adelaide). I wont use anything else.
Eren –
Incredibly nourishing even on my long dry hair. Definitely recommend and such speedy delivery!
sarah hopkins –
I just love this bar of conditioner! I have very fine, often dry hair, and I don’t want to use commercial conditioner due to chemicals and environmental issues. I gave this a try and it really works! amazing. I recommend it for sure
Louise –
I couldn’t believe how little I needed. Having short hair, wasn’t very much and it left my hair so soft and shiny. I usually suffer from a very itchy scalp, but it has gone away since I started using this product combined with the pure goats milk shampoo bar. Wonderful.
Catherine –
It took a few washes to work out how much to put on , probably because it doesn’t foam up like products we’re used to, but is lovely to use and my hair is much softer than usual. The little sample soap I also received is just gorgeous! Deep Sea Mud – I will be buying some of that when I need soap. I really feel very “clean”.
Sam –
I have thick, wavy/curly hair, and ordinary conditioners and shampoos leave me with a frizzy mess. This conditioner soap doesn’t. Finally – I have ‘normal’ hair. It just lies down, like normal hair, instead of spronging about like a curly mess. And I don’t have to wash my hair as often as I do with supermarket conditioner.
I even kind of like the scent of the unscented conditioner 😀
Maria –
Lovely and creamy when I work it between my hands – leaves no heavy feeling like I usually get with commercial conditioners. My hair is quite thick so I do need a bit of product (and a bit more practice with applying it consistently) but after a couple weeks use I can definitely see the difference it’s made to my hair. My hair is neither greasy nor dry – just feels very natural and soft!
Navy –
Ok I love the beer soap but must admit disliked using the vinegar rinse as it was a bit annoying and didn’t like the smell, so I stopped using the beer shampoo and went back to store bought nasty stuff. But now that this conditioning bar has come along…OMG the combination is amazing!!! It leaves my hair feeling so light and soft and not one tangle! I was actually skeptical and shocked when I ran my comb through my hair! Oh and usually after a few days of not washing my hair I would have so much hair fall out especially when I comb after a shower, but I am not kidding first go at using the soap & conditioner I only had 1 hair fall out just one! I can’t wait to try the beer conditioner! Thanks again for such an amazing all natural product which actually makes u feel so clean and fresh not weighed down! I just love it!!
Alice –
It feels nice and soft, but still light, not weighed down with product. Less itching on my scalp, no dandruff.
Love the way my hair feels when rinsing. I was using the vinegar rinse but as much as I love the shampoo, can’t say I loved that part!
It’s great for travel. I have put a small piece in a Tupperware travel pill container, it takes up next to no room in a travel bag. It’s super economical. I’ve used it about 5 times now and I’m not even half way through a sample piece! I tend to be heavy handed with ‘regular’ conditioner, so that’s great for me. I love how easy it is to condition my ends well without having to get too much on the roots, I usually find that hard with standard conditioners. I can leave it on a little longer if my hair is feeling dry, which isn’t an option with the vinegar rinse. I’m a dedicated user now for sure! Thanks for allowing me to participate in the testing. I have a baby girl and I know what I will be using on her hair as she gets bigger too – no nasties in it!

Felicity –
I usually use vinegar rinse, for the test I stopped using vinegar and just used conditioner bar. First thing that happened when I used the sample it is that it crumbled up like a good cheddar! Could be my clumsiness and probably would not happen with a large bar. Found it takes me a little longer to use than the vinegar, but been using it every day and getting more skilled, and enjoying what is turning into a bit of a head massage in the process! When rinsing the conditioner you really get that conditioned feel like you would with other products – hair feels very soft.
Will probably not use as my main product though – I think I will continue with the vinegar rinse as that was my previous routine and is very easy and good value for money, and the results seem very similar. However whenever I go oh holiday I always leave the vinegar at home as it is not easy to travel with – heavy, bulky, liquid, could leak etc – but now I will be able to condition my hair while I am away using one of your conditioning bars. It might be a while before I buy one though…. Like the rest of your products, it seems to be lasting ages!

Virginia –
Wash Every 2 days but I think i will be able to wash less now.Shiny, easy to brush, much reduced flyaway
I love love love this conditioning bar. My hair is amazing now, soft and shiny. I didn’t think I would ever find a natural conditioner that makes my hair feel so wonderful, and I have tried many. Thankyou. I can’t wait until it is available so I can buy it-good for the environment and so economical

Hair was fully bleached around a year ago and died pink for leukaemia. After that hair has been died multiple times brown and blonde highlights. Its pretty damaged.
my hair just feels like amazing beautiful soft fluffy but heavy smooth shiny FABULOUS.
Basically – even if I went back to regular shampoo (doubt it – ew) I would still use this conditioner bar. I’m pretty sure it’s the greatest thing I have ever put in my hair (including the delicious banana mask I used once)
shiny hair, smoothed split ends, soft to touch, looks fabulous.

.. Easy to brush, shiny looking and feels nice and soft.

Melanie –
Very good results. Hair is soft, feels moisturised, and curls defined. I did need to use quite a bit of the conditioner but I have medium-long curly hair which always needs extra conditioner. It works well for de-tangling too, I ‘comb’ my hair with my fingers while the conditioner is in it.
Great quality product! I only buy toiletries that are all natural, and I would prefer to minimise plastic waste where possible.
Melanie
Christine –
I’ve termed my hair after using the bar “Teflon Hair”!! My fingers slide right off!
I have used natural hair products for the last 4yrs and the ONLY issue I have found with pretty much all of them is the conditioners fail miserably leaving my hair like hay. This bar did the opposite! I’m super stoked and happy and will buying this bar! Also worth mentioning that I didn’t require much to get such a great result. I normally also put an argan oil in my hair after washing but I didn’t need to after using the bar!
It works! It’s economical and well priced.

Deb –
I was really impressed with how little I actually needed to make it ‘feel’ like there was conditioner in it.
It was amazing. Not only does it feel lovely but the curls went in and my hair stayed shiny
I had SO many compliments on my hair yesterday. One from a total stranger. I felt like a million dollars.
