Learn how to use a refillable conditioner bottle to reduce plastic waste. Step-by-step guide for filling, using, and cleaning your forever friend bottle.

Quick answer

Using a refillable conditioner bottle like the forever friend bottle is simple: fill it with your favorite conditioner, pump as needed, and clean it between refills to keep it hygienic.

Why choose a refillable conditioner bottle?

Refillable bottles cut down on single-use plastic waste without changing your hair routine. The forever friend bottle is made from BPA-free and EA-free Eastman Tritan plastic, which reduces environmental impact by 69% compared to standard single-use bottles. It's dishwasher safe, so cleaning between refills is easy.

How to use your refillable conditioner bottle

  1. 1. Prepare your bottle: If your forever friend bottle is new, rinse it with warm water to remove any dust. If it's a refill, wash it thoroughly with soap and water or run it through the dishwasher on the top rack. Common mistake: skipping the rinse can leave residue that mixes with your new conditioner.
  2. 2. Fill with conditioner: Unscrew the pump and pour your preferred conditioner into the bottle, leaving a little space at the top. Screw the pump back on tightly. Common mistake: overfilling can cause the pump to leak or not work properly. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top.
  3. 3. Use in the shower: Pump the conditioner into your hand as usual. The bottle is designed to be water-resistant but not fully waterproof, so keep it away from direct spray. Common mistake: leaving the bottle under running water can cause the label to peel or water to seep inside.
  4. 4. Clean between refills: When empty, wash the bottle and pump with warm soapy water or place them on the top rack of the dishwasher. Let both parts dry completely before refilling. Common mistake: putting the pump in the dishwasher without checking if it's dishwasher safe can damage the mechanism. Always check the pump's dishwasher safety; the bottle is dishwasher safe.
