Viori Rice Water Shampoo Bar

Rice Water Haircare With Zero Plastic Waste

Viori Rice Water Shampoo Bar is inspired by the centuries-old hair tradition of the Red Yao women of Longsheng, China, who are known for having extraordinarily long, healthy hair and credit fermented rice water as their secret. Each bar is packed with fermented rice water, which is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that strengthen the hair shaft, improve elasticity, and add shine. It lathers like a traditional shampoo, cleanses thoroughly, and leaves nothing behind except clean, healthy hair. No plastic. No synthetic chemicals. Just your hair and what works.

Best For

• All hair types wanting a clean beauty, zero-waste alternative
• Anyone interested in rice water hair benefits
• Dry, brittle, or damaged hair needing protein-rich strengthening
• Color-treated hair wanting a gentle, natural cleanser
• Travelers wanting an effective, TSA-approved shampoo that does not count against liquid limits

What It Helps With

Fermented rice water contains inositol, a carbohydrate that can penetrate the hair shaft and repair damage from the inside out. It also contains amino acids that strengthen the hair cortex and B vitamins that support overall hair health. The citrus scent of the Citrus Yao bar comes from natural ingredients that add a light brightening effect to the scalp while cleansing. Hair comes out clean, strong, and noticeably shinier over time with regular use.

Why Clients Love It

Clients who try Viori often do so because they are looking to reduce plastic waste in their routine. What keeps them coming back is that the bar actually works as well as or better than bottled shampoo. Each bar is equivalent to two to three bottles of shampoo, so it is also more economical over time. Clients with dry or damaged hair notice improved texture and less breakage within a few weeks of making the switch.

How to Use

Wet hair and rub the bar directly onto wet hair from roots to ends, or lather the bar between palms first and apply like regular shampoo. Massage into scalp for a thorough cleanse and rinse completely. Follow with the Viori Rice Water Conditioner Bar for best results. Store the bar out of the water stream between uses for longest bar life.

Pro Tip From Our Stylists

Store your bar on a soap dish or bamboo holder that allows air circulation underneath the bar between uses. Bars that sit in standing water dissolve faster and do not last as long. Proper storage can add weeks of extra life to each bar.
