Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, and the Dip Surfrider After Surf Conditioner is built specifically for that situation. After getting out of the water, run the wet bar through wet hair, work it through with fingers or a wide-tooth comb, and let it air dry without rinsing. It detangles and softens hair right there at the water's edge, no shower required.
A liquid conditioner is mostly water, which means it needs a shower and doesn't travel well. A solid bar contains no water, so it's compact enough to bring to the beach or pool and can be applied directly to wet hair after swimming without rinsing out. One full-sized bar can replace up to six bottles of liquid conditioner and, depending on hair length and wash frequency, can last six months to a year.
This bar is formulated to moisturize without heaviness, which matters most for fine hair. A customer with fine hair that tangles easily noted it left her hair soft and detangled without any greasy appearance, something she said other conditioner bars had caused. For fine or oily hair types, applying from mid-length to ends and skipping the roots helps keep things balanced.
Yes, the Dip Surfrider After Surf Conditioner is safe for color-treated and chemically treated hair. It also includes an ingredient with antioxidant properties that can help protect against environmental stressors like sun exposure, which is worth noting for color-treated hair that spends regular time outdoors.
Yes, the fragrance-free conditioner uses the same base formula as the scented versions, just without any fragrance added. The conditioning performance and directions for use are identical across both.
The 3 oz bar is the better fit for thick, long, or high-volume hair. It has a larger surface area, which makes it easier to saturate every strand, and it's specifically recommended for curly and voluminous hair types for that reason. The 0.75 oz bar works well for shorter or finer hair, or as a travel option.

Reviews

"I was skeptical because I’ve never used bar shampoo or conditioner before I have dry curly hair and was worried that this would feel like bar soap in my hair. The amount of lather was amazing and felt just like regular shampoo and the conditioner had such a good slip I’m very impressed and also happy that it’s good for the environment."

Gina (5/5)

Love Dip

"I absolutely love Dip Shampoo! It’s eco-friendly, leaves my hair feeling clean without ever feeling stripped, and the scents are such a bonus. The conditioner leaves my hair incredibly soft all the way until my next wash. And a little extra perk—I even use the shampoo as a body wash! Such a great product that I genuinely enjoy using."

Angela L. (5/5)

So nice!

"This is a little powerhouse of a conditioner bar. I got a small one in the mimosa and sandalwood scent. It's sweet, but subtle and it's a nice smell. It also makes my hair soft! And I love how the conditioner bar doesn't fall apart when dropped on the shower floor like some other brands I've tried. I'm a clutz, so this is a major bonus!"

Conditioner Bar That Actually Works

"I have long wavy fine hair, and my partner has shoulder length course curly hair. We have tried multiple other brands and had no luck finding a bar that could accommodate either of our hair types- this product simultaneously meets both our needs. Highly recommend."

Mackenzie H. (5/5)

Amazing!!!

"I love my dip conditioner bar! The mini conditioner bar is especially nice for traveling. I had previously tried so many different haircare brands to try and add volume to my fine/thin hair, so I was so happy when I found dip! I've been happily using their bars for almost three years, and my hair has never looked + felt better :)"

D'Orsay H. (5/5)

smells amazing

"I've been using dip for years now, and this is by far my favorite conditioner bar. The fragrance is amazing, and as someone living in Chicago by Lake Michigan, I admire and appreciate the initiative."

Eden J. (5/5)

Their best conditioner

"This is a fantastic conditioner! I sort of feel like it even out performs the other dip conditioner bars! I swim and am in the sun this time of year. This bar has really helped. It penetrates and makes my hair soft and easy to comb through :)"

Katie (5/5)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I just started using Dip’s shampoo and conditioner bars and I’m already impressed! My hair feels great — clean, soft, and healthy from the very first wash. Customer service has been the best I’ve experienced from any haircare brand — responsive, helpful, and clearly invested in making sure customers are happy. I also love that I’m cutting down on plastic waste. Excited to keep using these and see how my hair does long term. Off to a great start!"

Misty G. (5/5)

Fantastic

"I will never use traditional shampoo or conditioner again. This is the 2nd time I have purchased the shampoo and conditioner bar and am shocked at how long the product lasts. I also love that it does not take much at all to get a good lather, it is made in the USA and has a perfect box to order to keep the product from getting gummy or gooey."
