Kitsch Rice Water Shampoo Bar for Hair Growth – Strengthening Hair Shampoo for Men and Women – Reduce Breakage, Boosts Shine – Paraben, Silicone & Sulfate-Free, Vegan Hair Care - Made in USA, 3.2 oz

So far I like the product but I don’t know if it will stop the excessive hair loss yet. I also bought it for hair growth so too soon to tell.What I do like: it lathers up nice and rinses easily. It is a little awkward getting used to rubbing it on my hair as a bar rather than a liquid but it’s an adjustment in application not effect.My hair feels softer, shinier, and less dry.I’m keeping it in a sealed plastic container to prevent melting in the shower so I expect the longevity to be good.Will update in a month for hair growth and decreased hair loss.8/13/26 update well this is officially my new favorite hair care. I am into my second set of shampoo and conditioning bars and my hair has made a big change. I am no longer losing handfuls in the shower. A little goes a long way, and my hair is growing back in thicker and more manageable than before. Definitely try this brand and see if it makes a difference for you. I think that even with longer hair it would still be economical. I’ve bought some more expensive brands in the past that never did make my hair respond this well.

Lathers surprisly well!! I had my doubts but I really like it. Smells nice, cleans well, made my hair feel soft, easy and manageable to styal, got all the grease out of my hair. My hair the next day was a bit greassie but I'm not sure what that was caused from. And I haven't used it long enough to know if it helps grow hair.

(Addendum to original review.). So- this shampoo bar did not help whatever weird condition is afflicting my scalp. However- I am giving this bar five stars, because Kitsch, as a company, is providing a level of incredible customer service that has become increasingly rare. All I can say is I now know this company really, really cares about its customers.So- though this product may not have worked for me- I am absolutely going to try other Kitsch products. I am happy to support a company that cares so much for what people think about their products. Again- the product itself was a pleasure to use. And it’s a good buy, because if kept dry, you are going to get a lot of use out of it.My point is: the standards of this company, and the quality of their products, have made sure I remain a Kitsch customer. And I *highly* recommend ordering from them. They are an absolute joy to deal with. Thank you.I always have high hopes for solid shampoo bars. I've tried several, but none of them seem to help with what is going on. Since moving to the Midwest from the West Coast years ago, my scalp has been really dry and, about a month after moving here, a patch of hair the size of my palm just dropped off the top of my head. This hair eventually grew back, but it will not grow longer than about 3/4 of an inch. I've been to lots of doctors and had cortisone injections (I also tried Minoxidil) and tried a million dandruff and anti-fungal and other treatment shampoos, and nothing has gotten rid of the dryness. It's not dandruff- the doctors let me know that. They just don't know what is going on. My scalp almost gets a granular feel to it. I've also tried many scalp scrubs, which provide some temporary relief, but the weird granular dryness always returns.I think the only way I'll be able to get rid of the scalp thing is to move back to live next to the ocean. Financially, that is not an option right now, so I remain stranded in the dried-out flatness for the foreseeable future.The positive reviews for this shampoo bar made it sound effective, and also studies have shown that rice water really can encourage hair growth. The shampoo bar went on sale for Prime Day, so I thought why not give it a try.The bar itself is pleasant to use. It had no obvious scent that I could detect. I found the bar held together, even in the stream of water from the shower. I initially used it by rubbing the bar on my scalp until it foamed up, then used my rubber scalp scrubber as usual. I didn't use any conditioner after the first time, as I wanted to gauge as accurately as possible the product had on my scalp.After my hair dried, I noticed that my scalp was once again covered in a weird layer of dryness. I then applied some leave-in scalp treatment, and that helped, but I realized sadly that it was looking like this shampoo bar was making the condition of my scalp worse. My hair felt fine- it didn't feel "stronger," but it felt clean. It was just that my scalp still felt dry, and strange.The next time I used it, I worked up a lather between my hands, then applied the lather to my scalp, as opposed to rubbing the bar on my head. I let the lather sit on my scalp for at least two minutes, then used the scalp scrubber, then rinsed, then followed with conditioner. Again, after my hair and scalp dried, I noticed the layer of dryness on my scalp seemed a bit worse.The next time I shampooed, I used a clarifying shampoo to try to reduce the layer of crud on my scalp. After my hair dried this time, my scalp was much less congested, and felt much cleaner and refreshed.So-- this product is just not for me. I wish it worked, as I can tell the bar, if it is allowed to dry, should last for quite awhile, and I was hoping to see some growth-boosting effects, as some have. However I am looking for something to improve the condition of my scalp, and this shampoo bar is obviously not working.

Package arrived quickly. The scent is subtle (I was a little worried because some of the reviewers said the smell was overwhelming.). I found it to be very subtle, smells like “clean” to me and I have a very sensitive nose.I have an incredibly sensitive scalp, and the skin will burn into the day after my hair has dried after using bottled shampoo from the grocery storeI have used the soap and conditioning bars once. Once you get the bar, wet, the studs come up easily. Makes a nice sudsing on your scalp and during the rinse you can hear the squeak. The conditioner seem to be very softening and rinsed out easily.I have had no itchy scalp no burning just clean hair. I’m very pleased with the product so far, I will update as I do have thinning hair, perhaps in a month or so they’ll be a change and I will update.I’ve added a photo so you can see the size of the bars, I was a little surprised they were very small, but these are not the travel sizeSo far, I’m very happy with it and I think it’s well worth a try.

I bought this bar shampoo to mitigate further postpartum hair loss and enjoy it after two uses so far! I find my long thick (normally frizzy) hair to be much softer, silkier and shinier. I can’t speak to the hair growth aspect just yet but have noticed I don’t shed as much in the shower both times I’ve used it. I think it’ll last quite a while (claims to last 100x use). The scent is just okay - it’s earthy and I don’t mind it but I do use my regular shampoo and conditioner in tandem to make my hair smell good. I’d consider giving it a go and if you’re looking for travel-friendly option this may not be a bad option. You may just have to use a silicone or zip-lock bag to carry it. Overall enjoying the product so farm

As mentioned in the review title, I have naturally blonde hair, very oily, medium texture and density. I used a pump rice shampoo bottle prior to this and while I did notice the progression to "flat/dull" hair with continuous use, I also make it a habit to use 3 or so different shampoos on my hair in rotation all the time.My hair gets oily within about 5 hours+/- depending on my activities and the humidity outside (located in FL). I don't straighten my hair, I use an ionic blow-dryer and the round brush I use is concave for holding on to medium-to-thin hair strands.I usually wash my hair about every other day unless I have somewhere to go or I've been working in the yard/garden a lot that day.As for this product, the original results were immediate and impressive with the degrees my hair was cleaned, the softness and lack of conditioning requirement. However, it's been a few weeks and only just now am I being plagued with a very itchy scalp. I've never had dandruff, but this appears to have caused a dermatitis response in the last few days.I'll be switching to one of my other shampoos for a while to see if the irrigation subsides. I've used this rice bar for the last 5 days in a row so that may be the cause for irritation.As for hair growth, I don't believe in shampoos which claim to do so unless they are truly medicated treatments w/ specific ingredients to promote scalp health and hair growth.I DID notice a large decrease in hair fall & hair breakage which started day 1. by day 3, I lost maybe 1-3 hair strands during after-shower brushing. By 2 weeks later the hair fall has increased again minimally but this could be from a combination of factors so I can't conclusively say it's the shampoos fault. It should be noted that I also take hair supplements, use an after-wash growth spray (which took 3 months to notice a difference/result, mind you) and as said before I don't apply products or certain heat styling equipment on my hair to ensure health.The itchiness IS driving me insane, so for sensitive scalps (oily, especially), I don't recommend using this product continuously w/ every hair wash, but that's a rule of thumb across the board. Using different shampoos keeps the wash result as desired - literally every shampoo on the market will be great at first, dull with continuous use and perk up again after alternating shampoos are used.

I love this shampoo bar. When I use it, my hair is shiny, soft, silky, and it has a little more wave to it than normal. I have a little natural wave to my long hair, but I think this brings it out a little more. I don't use it every day, but probably 2 or 3 times a week. I didn't know if I would like it, but I really do. You have to give it a chance, if you have never used a shampoo bar before. You wet your hair, and then while it is really wet, you start rubbing the shampoo bar over your hair on your scalp area. It lathers nicely. You don't need to shampoo down the length of your hair, but focus on the roots and scalp, massaging it in. Then let it run through the length. I do use the conditioner bar, too, sliding it down the length of my hair, but not really doing the very top/scalp. It takes a time or two to get used to using it, but I really do like this and the other shampoo & conditioner bars this company makes. I also do like the idea that I'm using a product that doesn't have a plastic bottle as waste, even though I would recycle it. It comes it a thin, cardboard box, and the shampoo bar is inside a paper wrapper. I let the shampoo bar air dry, and then I actually put it back inside the wrapper & little box. You can't leave it in the shower, unless you place it in a special soap dish/shampoo & conditioner bar holder or bag that lets the water drain away. They sell those, too, but I haven't bought one yet.

My daughter-in-law recommended this Kitsch shampoo bar and I reluctantly tried it--I was very skeptical. Her hair looks great, shiny and soft, but she has really thick long hair while I have baby fine thinner hair.I ordered the shampoo bar while it was on a Prime Day deal and thought, well, I'll give it a try - I can always give it to my daughter in law.So Glad I tried it!Lather: For me, this lathered up very well. In fact, I rubbed it onto my shoulder length baby fine thinner hair and it made so much lather, I next time used half the amount. I am used to sulfate free shampoos but was still surprised at how much lathering I had.Number of Uses: This is a more difficult question for me. But considering how it did lather and clean my hair without using too much, I'd say it will last quite a while. One worry would be where it put it in the shower so water stays away from it until I'm ready to use it. I will order a mesh bag to hang it and that will help with that.I love that I don't have a plastic bottle to deal with - great for the environmental aspect!How does it feel as I shampoo?: This gave my hair a 'squeaky clean' feel. For baby fine thinner hair, that can be a good sign. I did worry it would also mean my hair would be stripped or dry, so I used a conditioner on the ends (I did end up purchasing the conditioner bar but for the first few uses I used the conditioner I had on hand).After rinsing: The shampoo rinsed away easily. My hair was also easy to Wet-brush. And after blow-drying, I was very impressed with how silky and shiny my hair was! A marked difference in how my hair was looking the day before. Shiny, silky, pretty hair. Next morning, it still looks shiny and silky. I keep touching my hair - that's how silky it feels.I will note that there isn't a lot of volume - for baby fine thinner hair, if I want volume I'll need to use product. But for body and shine...? Yes! Very happy! My next morning hair looks rather bouncy and cute, still.I'm curious how the conditioner bar will do once that arrives. The way I achieved more volume was by letting the shampoo sit on my hair a little longer and using the conditioner bar that finally arrived - then I blew it dry with my oval blow dry brush.To have my hair look this shiny and silky looking/feeling is a huge happy Yes!Very impressed and happy! I'll keep ordering.

used 2 bars haven't notices anything

Bought for travel and it lasted a couple of months. I love the way it cleans my hair. I didn’t see any growth in my hair with this single bar, but it didn’t feel frizzy or dry afterwards. I will continue to repurchase.

I really like this bar. I’m not sure if it’s helping my hair but I really like it. I’ve used another soap bar before but my hair would always feel waxy afterwards. Kitsch lathers up really well, has lasted over a month and still have plenty left. I think it could last me another two months and I’ve been washing my hair every 2-3 days because of my workouts and saunas. It cleanses really well and if I’ve used a bit too much rosemary oil in my hair, it removes it after two washes. Hair growth is a bit hard to tell as I’ve just had an iron infusion so I’m not sure if it’s one or the other or both that’s helping my hair growth.Delivery was super fast and I will definitely be buying more soon. Very happy with this product.

This stuff is a god send! Helps with hair growth!

The soap looks natural and has mild smell and foam as well I think using same conditioner bar will be recommended for perfect result.
