The old Wonderbar was my FAVORITE conditioner of all time. I have very fine and slightly wavy hair and it was the only conditioner that I had ever tried that didn’t weigh down my hair. I was skeptical when they changed the shape and scent, but wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Not sure exactly what changes were made as far as the ingredients go but this new bar, while admittedly applying easier than the old one, does not give me the same results :( Overall, it’s fine but it’s just disappointing as someone who loved Wonderbar.

Wonderbar was such a fan favourite, so we completely understand the disappointment when something you've loved doesn’t feel quite the same. The new Volumising Conditioner Bar (formerly Wonderbar) does have a few updates — it now includes Biotin and Caffeine, and we’ve changed the shape and scent (now a zesty blend of orange, vanilla and ginger) to better match the Volumising Shampoo Bar. The formula still targets weightless moisture for fine and wavy hair, but we know even subtle changes can feel big — especially when the original was your perfect match.
Thanks again for your feedback — it really helps us keep improving, and we hope we can win you back with what’s next.

I really like the scent of this bar and I like what the product does to my hair after washing. My curls are smooth and bouncy!
However, this bar is unusually *rock-hard*, especially for a conditioner bar, and it takes me several minutes to lather up enough to barely cover my (short) hair. I've even resorted to dropping it in some water for a few minutes before I intend to use it just to soften it up a bit lol. I'm okay with this for now but i'm hoping mine was a fluke and the next one will be more useable. An otherwise good product, but buyer beware.

You’re absolutely right that our conditioner bars are firmer than shampoo bars — they’re designed that way to help them last longer and avoid going mushy in the shower. While they don’t lather (since conditioners don’t contain foaming agents), just a few swipes (4–5) should be enough to coat the hair. It won’t feel slippery like a liquid conditioner right away, but the silky magic kicks in as you rinse.
Let us know if you'd like some extra tips — or if you think something might be off with your bar, we're always happy to help at hello@ethique.com.

I use this in conjunction with the VOLUMISING Solid Shampoo bar. The bar conditions well and has a lovely scent. I wish Ethique sold a suitable travel container for the shampoo and conditioner combo.

I found this too drying for my hair. It left it frizzy and heavy feeling, though I did first try it out in the winter
Was this helpful?ENEthique New Zealand1 month agoThank you for your honest feedback—it’s so helpful to hear how different hair types respond. While our Volumising Conditioner is designed to offer lightweight hydration and fullness, environmental factors like dry winter air can sometimes affect results. If you're looking for something with a bit more smoothing power, we’re always happy to recommend an alternative that better suits your needs.
