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

-*UPDATE* -I’ve been using these bars for over a month now, and I still like them! I’ve spent a week on vacation at the beach, swimming in the ocean and washing my hair every day with these bars. Usually after a week like that, my hair would be super dry and begging for some deep conditioning, but not this time! My hair feels very soft and healthy. I’m very happy with this product! I can totally see the difference!One thing that I noticed is that the shampoo bar is softer and melts much faster than the conditioner, about twice as much. After a month of heavy use, I’m probably half way the shampoo bar already and the conditioner looks like the same size. It would be great if they made the bundle with two shampoos and one conditioner… but that’s not a big deal.. just a thought :)————I am Caucasian and have a head full of curly hair: natural, coarse, type 3A, medium length, and I’m starting getting gray. Usually, I don’t use shampoo, I just co-wash with a light silicone free conditioner; however, during Summer, I feel the need to shampoo because I sweat more, swim, etc.I love the eco friendly idea of shampoo and conditioner bars, but I had never found one that worked well for me.I decided to give this one a try and bought the citrus & orange variety for curly hair. I have used it a couple of times and, so far, I really like them!The shampoo bar lathers well. It makes my hair feel clean without stripping it. You can feel it is gentle on your hair when you rinse it out - it feels soft and smooth, not squeaky and grippy.The conditioner is light but it has a pretty good slip. I had no problem running my finger through and detangling my hair in the shower, and again, you can feel the hair is well conditioned when you rinse it. It’s not as rich as a creamy conditioner, but it does a good job conditioning my hair without weighing it down.I use Kinky Curly leave in conditioner and their custard gel as styling products. (If your hair is similar to mine, highly recommend them - I keep trying new products and always go back to them…)After I use this shampoo and conditioner bars, style my hair with Kinky Curly products, and let it air dry, my hair feels clean, soft and my curls are well defined and bouncy. I’m happy with the results!The only thing I don’t love about it is the scent. I was hoping for a fresh citrus orangey scent, but it is more on the floral side - orange blossom, I guess? It smells like something my grandma would like… But fortunately the scent does not linger and, honestly, I can barely smell it after my hair is dry, so I think can live with that.

The shampoo worked great and lathered up very well. The conditioner did not work very well for me at all. I will not buy again just because of the conditioner bar. The shampoo bar smelled great. There was no bottle size because they were bars and the durability lasted for a while. my hair retained color and was somewhat soft after using the shampoo.

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 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'll be honest I was a bit skeptical about using this product. They work really good! The shampoo does not have a fragrance to it, but the conditioner has a pleasant scent to it. The shampoo bar lathers up real quick, but the conditioner bar takes a little more effort to get it on the hair. You have to rub it on your hair like it says in the instructions to get it to cover. I have fine/thin hair and it does not weigh it down it leaves my hair super soft. I highly recommend these bars.
