Rice Water Shampoo Bar & Argan Conditioner Bar Set – Strengthening & Nourishing Hair Care Duo for Fine or Weak Hair – Solid Shampoo and Conditioner Bars for Growth, Shine & Scalp Balance

I've never used bar shampoo/conditioner before but I really like the idea of lower carbon footprint/less packaging waste, etc... Smell is lovely but very strong until I used it. Now it's nice. I.e. sitting on table in living room unopened, it smelled as strong as a burning scented candle. (!) After first use, the smell is now subtle (and I don't smell it at all really unless I pick it up and take a whiff). Fortunately, I like the scent. Not sure scent lingers in hair at all really (not a bad thing either way in this case). If you (like me) have never used bar shampoo before you may want to modify your routine slightly. I used to lather once, wait a min, rinse, then move on to the conditioner. Now I rub the shampoo bar in my wet hands a few times, wash my scalp, rinse, then rub bar 1-2x more with hands and lather scalp/hair again. Second lather is feels just like washing with liquid shampoo. Rinses cleanly. Similar process with conditioner. Hair does not feel conditioned until you rinse, then it feels silk, like any other conditioner I've used. Conditioner feels light, which is what I want. Intention going forward is to double wash/condition every few days, and on off days, wash/condition without rinsing in between to see what happens. (I.e. wash scalp with shampoo 1x, and condition ends with conditioner 1x, leave be while I wash rest of body, then thorough rinse from head to toe... trying to ease into washing hair less frequently). I crocheted a wash bag for the conditioner bar and am still working on the one for the shampoo (intending to hang them from shower curtain hooks so they don't become a slimy mess in the soap dish). Might not be necessary? Underside of shampoo bar is not slimy so far (as it sits on the grooved soap holder section of the shower shelf). If you wear pantyhose/tights, you can always take an old pair (e.g. with a run) and put a bar of soap or shampoo or conditioner in that, knot strategically so it doesn't fall out, trim, and hang it up. You can use the soap through the fabric and by hanging it, it stays drier, and you don't lose the tiny sliver when it's almost used up. My point is you might not need to go to that trouble. As for curl care, I'm still learning how to manage my shoulder length 2c hair after being raised to brush/blow out all the curl. Now I'm trying to encourage the spirals... still have a lot to learn, but this shampoo conditioner seem gentle/light enough to not get in the way, at least. Will definitely buy this brand again when the time comes (might be quite awhile though).

I got the argan set as it specified curly hair. My hair history: My hair is naturally curly and fully gray. I have used only non sulfate/silicone/paraben shampoo and conditioner for a few years. I’ve also begun washing less often, going from years of daily shampooing to every 4 days (more frequently when curly as eventually my curls frizz). I have no problem with oily scalp and my hair is healthy. I use curl products: activator, mousse, gel and refresher spray when curly; and Olaplex 6 and heat protectant when I straighten. These all leave residue so I use a liquid clarifying shampoo about once per month and a deep conditioner immediately following. Aside from the aforementioned clarifying and deep conditioning, I now use these bars exclusively. Unlike the suggested method, I do not rub either bar directly onto my hair, as hairs transfer to the bar and I have to pick it off. Instead, I wet and lather the shampoo bar and apply the shampoo from my hands, then use my finger pads to scrub my scalp, pushing the suds down the hair to my ends then I rinse with warm water. I do this twice. The bar gives satisfying lather and my hair feels quite clean. I then do the same with the conditioner bar applying more to the mid to ends and leave it in while I wash and shave. I do a final rinse with cold water. The conditioner gives me good slip and my fingers easily run through my hair afterward. I have noticed a slight reduction in hair loss in-shower. Not significant, but still less. The scent is nice, not too strong and I smell it mainly during use but not after my hair is dry. I keep the bars in a large travel soap container with a soap pad underneath. I have noticed the shampoo bar is getting smaller quicker and I will certainly run out of it first (the opposite of my experience with bottles). I originally purchased these to reduce my liquids while traveling. However, I like them so much both during use and the result when dry, that they are now my regular shampoo/conditioner. I have also noticed they last longer than bottles, as I likely use less. I have since added the Saphus purple bar shampoo for monthly toning, but have only used it once and haven’t seen a difference yet. Anyway, I will absolutely continue to purchase this Argan set.

I was headed on a cruise and figured it would be a good time to try out shampoo/conditioner bars to save some space in my luggage. I was a little worried because I have a mop of thick coarse hair, and I shampoo daily, so I was just praying I didn't end up with a rat's nest on my cruise. My first impression when I opened the box was that I hated the citrus smell. It was super strong and chemical-like. My 14 year old son hit the nail on the head when he took a whiff and immediately said it smelled like a porta potty air freshener, that's exactly the smell! However, I figured I would still give it a try. Once I did, I was actually pleasantly surprised. It lathered really well, and the conditioner made my hair so silky smooth. The smell died down and was actually kind of nice afterward. My hair felt clean and was easy to brush. I would definitely buy this again, but in a different scent.

I used to just buy these for my holidays to cut down on weight in my suitcase, but I have now completely switched from bottles to bars all the time. They foam up lovely and are long lasting. I still have the conditioner bar that I started using in September 2024 and it's end of December 24 when I'm filling out this review. The shampoo bars last about two and a half months for me. They smell nice and are good for the environment and my hair. I don't think I would ever go back to using bottled shampoo and conditioner.

First time buyer of solid shampoo and conditioner. I love it. Lathers very well. Smells great. Lasts a long time, longer than liquid shampoo. Leaves hair feeling clean, soft, light. NO HARSH CHEMICALS!!

Excellent. From the first day I used it, lathers up really well. My hair used to be highlighted blonde but my hairdresser put a darker permanent dye instead. Horrible! This excellent bar has managed to remove the dark dye over several washes and return my hair to an acceptable colour. Will continue using it, my new favourite. Highly recommend.

Okay but very strong smell almost like a strong air freshener. Won't buy again personally but may be fine for some. Good lather from the shampoo.

飛行機での旅には液体制限がありますので、固形タイプのこの商品はとても重宝します。香りもシトラス系でバスルームのフレグランス代わりになります。 ノンシリコンタイプですから、洗うとキシる感じはしますがしっかり洗えた感はあります。ドライヤー後もパサツキは無く（硬く毛量の多い私）しっとりしています。
