ikimi Rice Water Shampoo and Conditioner Bar Set for Hair Growth, 100g Shampoo Bar and 80g Conditioner Bar Made with Rice Water and Plant Extracts

I have long, medium texture, slightly wavy hair. I typically shampoo every other day, but can go 3 days if needed. I home color with a good hair color every 6 weeks. I have just recently been shampooing with bars with Rice Water as I have been looking for more volume and assistance with losing hair. I ordered these to try because of a negative experience with Viori rice water shampoo bars. I just purchased a set of the Viori Hidden Waterfall scent shampoo and conditioner bars that many rave about and have used them 3 times following directions for long hair, and rinsing thoroughly. While the Viori bars do not lather, as reviews stated, and my hair seemed clean, when I blow it dry, I feel residue on my hands as I work my fingers through my long hair. Whatever is left behind with the Viori bars from the shampoo/conditioner makes my hair fluffier, but there is a definite residue on my hair. Having given that background, I read the few reviews on this new Ikimi Rice Shampoo product, and as it went on sale, decided to give it a try. I had just colored my hair and I wanted to see how the shampoo would leave my hair a few days after processing. First I have to say that this shampoo lathers the first time you run it over wet your hands or wet hair. It works into a nice lather and I only need to shampoo it one time to leave it feeling clean. The conditioner went on easily and when I rinsed it, my hair did not feel as if it had a residue. I then blew it dry bent over for volume as I normally do, then use a thick barrel curling brush to smooth out the waves on the length. It was soft and voluminous. And no residue! The bars are very wide and flatter than other bars, which means that after you use a few weeks, they are more likely to break into small pieces. Having said that, Ikimi provides 2 lovely mesh shampoo lathering bags with hanging strings to keep them dry, so if you use them to wet and lather your hair, it doesnt matter if the soap/conditioner breaks, you can simply lather up running the wet bag over your scalp and hair using the bag to hold the chards. I just find the large flat bars a bit difficult to work with in the shower. But dont let that deter you from trying them. I will update my review as I use them several more times. Continuation - have shampooed with these bars 4 times. The second time I shampooed with it, I noticed some breakage as my hair seemed dryer the second time, but I used a good leave in conditioner, and my hair was still full and shiny. The third time, I noticed that my scalp had begun itching, but my hair was still shiny and full after using the leave in conditioner. Fourth time, when I went to brush my hair, I noticed flakes, and oh gosh, when I checked my scalp, it had large sections with huge flakes of my scalp peeling off. I am either having an allergic reaction or I need to use it less often as a clarifying shampoo. I have had to downgrade my review because of my reaction to the shampoo, but if your skin is not sensitive and you have an oily scalp, this shampoo does make your hair full and shiny.

First time user of this shampoo and conditioner bar was surprised at how good it lathered up and made my hair look n feel definitely buying more n future

Very nice packaging, nice little gift for someone, smells good. Note that conditioner and shampoo are separate

The shampoo is gentle and suds up nicely. My hair truly feels clean. The conditioner is also clean, leaving my hair soft but not weighed down.

I’ve used many bar products. I’m a once a week hair washer and usual by day 3 my hair looks greasy. Not with this bar soap. I can go a week and my hair is still soft smells good and doesn’t look dirty. Some bar soaps make my head itch bc it’s very dry but not this bar soap. Easy to use

I love both the shampoo and the conditioner. The shampoo lathers well and cleans deeply without ‘stripping’ my hair. The conditioner works well without being heavy or greasy. My hair is shiny, healthy, and manageable. Works great, safe for my color-treated hair, AND has less earth-wasting packaging than most shampoos. (The little bags work well, too. We use the product ‘through’ the bag, and then hang it to dry.)

I was skeptical to try shampoo and conditioner in bar, and after trying many brands I discovered this kit which is amazing! My hair looks healthier and very shiny, definitely I recommend this product!

Easy to use - makes my hair soft. Love it will buy again.

Just started using these products and I love them. Leaves my hair soft and shining. I am 81 years old and had a hard time holding on to plastic containers in the shower when wet. the bars are so easy to use.

Leaves my hair very soft & silky. Works up a nice lather. My hair feels clean & healthy . Excellent pouches for drying out, very convenient
