So happy with using Viori Shampoo bar and Conditioner bars. They have made my hair feel very healthy and smooth! I had some thinning a few years ago after a stressful time. Viori helped repair this.

Description
The original rice water shampoo bar — strength and shine for every hair type.
Who it's for: Anyone. Fine, thick, straight, wavy, curly and coily hair; oily, normal and dry scalps. The bar to start with if you don't know where to start.
What it does: Cleans without stripping, and leaves hair measurably stronger over the first few weeks — less breakage, more shine, ends that hold together.
How it works: Fermented Longsheng rice water floods the strand with inositol and amino acids that reinforce it from the inside. Hydrolyzed rice protein bonds into damaged sections. A sulfate-free coconut-derived cleanser lifts oil without taking the scalp's own lipids with it.
What it feels like: Dense lather, rinses completely clean with no film. Hair feels light and smooth rather than coated.
Scent: Jasmine and soft florals — clean and fresh, never perfumey.
How to use: Every wash. Follow with the Hidden Waterfall Conditioner Bar on mid-lengths and ends.
Sulfate-free · Paraben-free · Phthalate-free · pH-balanced · Vegan · Cruelty-free · Plastic-free · 100+ washes per bar.

My hair is soft and shiny since I have been using your product. When drying, it falls right into place due to using Viori shampoo soap . It is also so easy to pack when am travelling….no more bottles that take so much room in my luggage. Viori shampoo soap has been a wonderful discovery and I am just so happy with this product especially that my hair texture is coarse, dry and difficult to manage.
I've been using Viori for awhile now- and it's fantastic every time. Sometimes I switch to an older shampoo for convenience, and every time I do, the difference is so obvious! I love my Viori. I don't think my hair has ever been happier!
I’ve been using Viori products for around 5 years, and I’ve loved them from the very beginning. The quality is amazing, and my hair truly enjoys them. I’ve tried almost all of their shampoo bars, and I love every single one.
I love this shampoo! I have used a few different brands of bar shampoo, and a few different scents from this brand. This is by far my favorite. Since I started using it, my hair has more volume, fewer knots, and it has grown so much. I definitely recommend
First time using the shampoo soap. Hair feels great. Wouls definitely recommend.
Really surprised by how effective this shampoo bar and conditioner is cleaning my hair and making it super soft and shiny
The first photo is before and the 2nd is after. My hair is so much fuller and my stylist says I have so much more hair growth! I love the product!
Don’t mind my snake pet 😁, but my hair is soft and grew faster than it usually does!! I’m a cosmetologist & barber and would love to sell your products to my clients! I’ve even gifted to family members. It’s way better than the bottled products the industry uses. Get it! You won’t regret it!
My hair is thicker, longer, and healthier than when I was 30! I'll be without it!
My hair has never felt cleaner or softer, I also get so many compliments on how great it smells; best part is my hairdresser (of 15yrs) cannot believe that I still have such thick long hair for it 53+-year-old woman. She swears that all my peers have to pay good money and extensions for the same results! So thank you ♥
Hands down the best natural shampoo I’ve tried! Probably the best shampoo I’ve ever tried, natural or not! I got my hair curled on a cruise recently, and the hairdresser couldn’t believe I hadn’t had some sort of protein treatment because if how silky and shiny my hair was
I love the smell and the results are spectacular. Definitely buying again and I recommend it to everyone.
Love this shampoo bar. My hair feels so soft and silky and the smell is wonderful! (Hidden Waterfall)
I have enjoyed the shampoo bars for 5 years now. This a first for me ,with any shampoo products I would use for a few months than i would notice my hair was dull and flat .. thank you
Love everything about it from the smell do how your hair feels afterwards!
My hair definitely is looking more healthier!
I got the waterfall shampoo and I am loving it so far. My mother uses the biotin one and looking forward to great results. Thank you !
During college I lost a lot of hair due to stress. I tried these shampoo bars and they really helped. It got longer a thicker. I think most impressive is the fact that I bought them in July and I am just now (late dec) needing to replace the shampoo bar. The conditioner is still going. Absolutely recommend. Scent is not chemically or too strong. 10/10!
This shampoo has made my hair soft and very shiny. Love it!
I’m pissed off that I didn’t get this sooner. 😂 I had been wanting to get this for a while and finally got the conditioner bar. I noticed a difference of softness in my hair the first and second day after using it. I decided to get the shampoo bar too. I have only used that one once so far and love the scent. I am looking forward to seeing how that one does after using it for a month or two. Altogether very happy with the quality of ingredients and the foam level of the shampoo bar.
I think my hair has been growing in thicker since I started using Viori products. I like the way my hair feels during and after washing. Love the price and how healthy it is. So grateful I found this company.
I really like this product, my hair shines, it feels healthy and it smells so good!
Love absolutely love this product
Absolutely amazing! Strengthens my hair to make it thick and very shiny, i also use a leave in conditioner to further moisturize my hair :D
I typically don’t really hype up hair products that much but this shampoo bar has actually made a huge difference on my hair. It lathers up really well too which makes it a lot easier for me to really wash my whole head. My hair is really soft and feels clean up to a couple days so I wash my hair less frequently as I used to as well.
I have enjoyed regrowth and body since I started use this shampoo
Been using viori for over a year and my hair is light shiny and growing fast
I've been trying to grow my hair out forever! I had finally gotten it to start growing then it seemed to stop growing. I couldn't get it to grow past my bra strap or the bottom of my shoulder blade area. I got Viori to see if it could help. I had been seeing it so often on my social media. My opinion? It's fantastic!! I finally got it to start growing again. It's getting longer, stronger, thicker. I already have thick hair! Its shiny and soft and only after a couple months of using it. I love this stuff!!
My hair is shining like never before ❤️
The first use I was so amazed. I feel so squeeky clean and the conditioner is way too different from the normal conditioner I used before. My hair looks so healthy plus it smells so nice even after a day. And the good thing is Ive been using it for a couple of weeks and day by day my hair fall is getting less. I wanna try the other scents❤️
both my mother and I fell in love with these hair bars!
Its amazing , hair is so light and tangle free!
My hair is damaged from many years of different processes, I have tried many products to help it with not much success. I was hesitant to use a soap bar as shampoo and conditioner but I wanted to give it a try and... is working fantastic! My hair feels better than before, softer, stronger and healthier. I know is going to take time to restore it but at least now I have hopes to finally have a healthy hair.
I was hooked by the story on Instagram as to how you got started I’ve been wanting to use a product that is safer in my hair as I’m getting older. It was so amazing to wash my hair last night and it smelt so good. I love the packaging that came with the conditioner. Very cool!! I’m going to be sending all my daughters set for Christmas!!
my hair has been feeling a lot more healthy!
I’ve never tried a shampoo bar before but was pleasantly surprised with this! It got my hair clean - like I literally heard it squeak - but didn’t make it dry. I have really fine hair and when I blow it out it’s always fuzzy and super lightweight. This makes it smoother and really cuts down the fuzz. It gives it some weight without being greasy or drying. It looks so much better. I absolutely love it!!
I was very impressed with the packaging and the design of the bar itself. The bar lathered nicely with some water. When I blowed dried my hair with big round bush my hair was very manageable and smooth to easily round the brush. Once my hair was styled, it had a nice bounce and laid nicely.
I was skeptical about how I would feel about using a shampoo bar (as opposed to liquid shampoo that I’m used to), but I am so surprised by how much I like this Viori bar! It lathers soooo well! And I feel like it really is helping my hair. I didn’t take any before pics unfortunately, but I definitely feel like my hair is thicker(?) or at least there’s less fall outs when I shower. Very happy with this and I intend to repurchase! :)
I just started using it, so I'm not sure about hair growth yet, but I normally have oily hair so don't use much, if any, conditioner. But the shampoo and conditioner bars are amazing! No oily hair anymore and I love the smell!!!
THE PROBLEM
Your Shampoo Is Working Against You.
Buildup, dependency cycles, and waxy residue aren't hair problems — they're routine problems.
0 1
A roughed-up cuticle
Heat tools, brushing, and harsh sulfates lift the cuticle. Straight and wavy hair is basically a flat mirror, so a rough surface kills its shine faster than on any other texture.
0 2
The Silicone Cycle.
Sulfate-heavy liquid shampoos strip the scalp, trigger oil overproduction, and rely on silicone to fake the shine back — a loop that never actually lets your hair find its balance.
0 3
Bars That Leave A Film.
Minerals, dry shampoo, and styling residue leave a microscopic film that scatters light, so brown hair looks grey and flat even right after washing. Regular shampoo doesn't always rinse it fully.
THE ANSWER
One bar. Actually clean.
The Rice Water Shampoo Bar cleans without stripping, rinses completely, and leaves nothing behind to build up.
Longsheng rice water carries inositol and fermentation amino acids that reach inside the strand instead of sitting on top of it. The surfactant system lifts oil and product buildup and then rinses clear — no silicone film, no waxy residue at the roots. Because nothing accumulates, hair keeps its own texture instead of getting progressively heavier through the week. Most people notice the difference in the first few washes: hair that squeaks less, tangles less, and holds a style without needing product to prop it up. One bar replaces the shampoo bottle, and it works on every hair type because the goal is simply to clean well and leave the strand alone.

WHY IT WORKS
- Protein That Gets Inside
Most rice water proteins are too large to enter the hair shaft — at 13,000–30,000 Daltons, they sit on the surface and rinse away. Hydrolyzed Rice Protein is broken down to peptides below ~1,000 Daltons, small enough to reach the cortex, where research indicates they deposit preferentially on compromised areas, improving tensile strength and reducing breakage under combing stress. The result is a strand that bends without snapping — not a coating, but internal reinforcement.
- Resilience That Stays After Rinsing
Inositol — Vitamin B8, naturally present in fermented rice water — is one of the few hair-active compounds that penetrates the cortex and remains there after the water runs clear. Studies suggest this residual effect increases hair elasticity, helping strands absorb the mechanical stress of daily styling rather than breaking under it. It is why hair washed with an inositol-containing formula can feel more cooperative on day two and three, not just the hour after washing.
- Lather That Plays Well With Hard Water
There is a chemistry reason some shampoo bars leave hair feeling dull or straw-like — and it has nothing to do with the bar format itself. Soap-based saponified bars react with the calcium and magnesium naturally present in tap water across much of the US to form a residue that coats the shaft. This bar is built on Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, a surfactant-based, non-saponified system that does not produce that reaction — so it lathers and rinses cleanly regardless of what comes out of your tap.
- Sulfate-free cleansing preserves moisture in porous hair
A coconut-derived cleanser (sodium cocoyl isethionate) lifts oil, product, and hard-water buildup while leaving the cuticle intact — so hair reads clean and bright, not stripped or squeaky.

FAQ
GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BUY.
Yes. This one builds a rich lather that lifts oil, sweat, and buildup, then rinses completely — most people are surprised how clean their hair feels. Give it 2–3 washes to adjust if you're coming off liquid shampoo.
Because "fine" and "glossy" are different things. This isn't for damaged hair; it's for healthy brown hair that could look shinier and more expensive with less effort. You drop steps, not add them — one bar replaces your shampoo (and 2–3 bottles), costs $11.75, and there's a money-back guarantee, so trying it costs you almost nothing.
Yes — without the DIY mess. Instead of fermenting and rinsing rice water yourself, it's built into the bar with Longsheng rice water, rice protein, and amino acids. The same ritual the Red Yao women are known for, in about 30 seconds in the shower.
No silicones or wax that can coat and flatten hair over time. It conditions lightly with rice protein and rice bran oil, so strands stay soft with body. Keep the conditioner bar on mid-lengths and ends.
Sweet musk and vanilla with a woody base — warm, not floral. It's the original Viori scent and the bestseller.
The shampoo bar cleanses and tones. The conditioner bar seals in the moisture and amino acids from the rice water and protects the cuticle between washes. For bleached hair — which is porous and loses moisture quickly — using both gives you the full repair benefit. The shampoo bar alone is a meaningful upgrade over a sulfate purple shampoo, but the duo is where the real difference shows.
Yes — most people need 2–3 washes for their hair to adjust from liquid shampoo to a bar formula. During that time your hair may feel slightly different as it clears out residue from previous products. Bleached hair typically adjusts faster than untreated hair because the cuticle is already more open. Stick with it past the first wash.
Each bar lasts 60–80 washes, which is the equivalent of 2–3 bottles of liquid shampoo. The bar stays dry between uses when stored on a bamboo holder with airflow drainage, which extends its life significantly. If you are washing 2–3 times a week, one bar typically lasts 5–8 months.
