Provided are a hair conditioner composition with an extremely low water content from which a hair conditioner composition can easily be manufactured simply by diluting with water, and a low-energy manufacturing method for the same. The hair conditioner composition contains (a) 10-90 mass% of a higher alcohol with a specific structure and/or a derivative thereof, (b) 5-35 mass% of a cationic surfactant, and (c) a polyhydric alcohol having a melting point of 70°C or less and/or polyethylene glycol. The melting point of a gel formed by (a) and (b) in the aforementioned composition is 70°C or less, the water content is 10 mass% or less, and the mol ratio of (a) with respect to (b) is 2.5 or more but less than 6.0. In addition, with the low-energy hair conditioner manufacturing method, the composition is melted at a temperature no less than the melting point of the gel and no higher than 70°C and is then diluted with water at a dilution ratio of 3-15 times by mass.
