Volumizing Rice Water Conditioner Bar – Oily Hair | VIORI

$11.75
A lightweight rice water conditioner bar that hydrates without adding oil back. Most conditioners are too heavy for oily hair — they put moisture back right where you don't want it. Citrus Yao is different. This sulfate-free conditioner bar hydrates mid-lengths and ends while keeping roots clean and lifted. Made with Longsheng rice water, the same fermented treatment the Red Yao women of southern China have used for centuries. The citrus-oil blend balances oil production instead of feeding it.

The citrus-oil blend balances oil production instead of feeding it. Hair feels conditioned and detangled without the slick, heavy feeling that makes oily hair worse.
Scent: Bright, clean citrus — matches the Citrus Yao Shampoo Bar. Grapefruit and lime with a fresh green finish.
What it feels like: Lightweight and fast-absorbing. Detangles without coating. Hair dries with bounce, not flatness.
If your hair is very oily, try conditioning every other wash to find your balance.

How To Use A Viori Shampoo Bar
We get it. If you’ve spent your whole life using bottled shampoo, switching to a shampoo bar feels like a huge leap. It’s just weird, right? Not as much as you might think. In fact, we’d say it’s a pretty great experience.
How To Use A Viori Conditioner Bar
Still, after a lifetime of using bottled conditioners, we know making a change can feel daunting. That's why we created a video to help you, and we're going to take you through the process step by step.
How to Use Viori's Bamboo Shampoo Bar Holders
Each holder is handcrafted by local villagers in southern China. They're also eco-friendly, biodegradable, and 100% sustainable, so you can feel good about using them. Like our shampoo bars, our bar holders are pretty user friendly. Let's take a look at how to use and maintain them.
How to Use Viori's Pawson Pet Shampoo Bars
Using warm water, wet your pet’s fur. Activate your Pawson bar by rubbing it on your wet palm for a few seconds, then gently rub your pet’s coat in small circular motions with the bar. Wet fur again, and thoroughly massage soap into your pet’s coat. After a couple minutes, you can wash off soap with water, dry off, and go play!

Rice-water has measurable strengthening effects on the hair shaft. Viori's bar is one of the most credible deliveries I've seen at retail.
I absolutely adore this shampoo. My hair has grown so much since I started using it. It has never been healthier or softer!! I tell everyone I can about it
I get compliments on my hair constantly since I started using Viori products! I only cut my hair once a year and my hair is healthier than it’s ever been in my life.
as someone with curly but fine hair, I'm always looking for a product that will properly condition and yet no weigh down my hair. I'm actually shocked how well the conditioning bar works! And I love that I'm not wasting plastic!
After 1 week of using the shampoo and conditioner, my hair is so much improved, not dry or frizzy any more, has a nice shine after blow dry. Love this product. Highly recommend it!!
My hair feels SO much better after using this conditioner than any normal conditioner I've ever used. Never switching back to bottled conditioner! My hair also grew really long super quickly while using this.
I’m OBSESSED. The Shampoo and Conditioner Hair Bar in Citrus Yao™ Citrus Scented for Normal to Oily Hair Types is exactly what I’ve been searching for all my life.
I have oily hair and had to wash my hair every day until now. Using these bars in this flavor has given me the freedom of only having to wash every other day. I’ve noticed my hair is shinier and my curls are easier to manage (I have curly hair but sometimes straighten it) and all this within the first week of using. The shampoo bar lathers beautifully and the conditioner bar conditions wonderfully and all that without the bars getting noticeable smaller every use. The price seems high for the size but I assure you, it lasts as long as a bottle of shampoo and conditioner would. I first tried a different bar and I didn’t have the same results (I don’t think this flavor was available back then?) so if you try it and you don’t have the results you were hoping for don’t give up. Try another recipe because this life changing experience should happen for all of us!
I am 65 years old with thick, waist length hair. I was skeptical in using "bar soap" on my hair. I was pleasantly surprised with everything from packaging, the bars, the smells (I bought 5 different fragrances) the lather, and how well my hair looks and feels. I love the conditioner bars and was very surprised how well they condition my hair. Normally I wash my hair every other day. Since using Viori, I notice I can go longer between washes.
The photo was taken this past weekend at an event on the beach and I received many compliments on my hair. I have now replaced my plastic bottles of shampoo & conditioner with Viori bars and I truly love them.
I have well water which makes my hair pretty dull and greasy. I tried a lot of shampoos to get the build up of sediments out of my hair but every bottled brand I tried just added to it. After starting this shampoo/conditioner combo, my hair texture is soft, my scalp is clean and my hair shines again! Love these citrus bars! Bonus is they smell amazing!
I’ve been using the shampoo and conditioner bars since July and I’m loving them both they last a long time and have good lather and leave my hair feeling fresh and clean - light but not dry
my hair has changed so much. the lower picture is from previous shampoos and conditioners. the top picture shows how Viori has strengthened my hair and defined my curls. THANK YOU
I love how soft the conditioner leaves my hair. I've never had my hair as long, healthy and strong as I have it now. I get so many compliments about my hair! This wouldn't have happened if I had not come across Viori! Their customer service is excellent too! I've been purchasing their products since 2021.
I haven't been using it for very long (maybe a couple weeks now), but my hair has been notably softer and feels healthier! Definitely going to repurchase this 😊
I have very oily scalp. I am one of those women who had to wash their hair every day. After switching to this VIORI shampoo bar I don’t have this problem anymore. I wash my hair now every second or third day! Love how soft and easy to curl they became!
This conditioner bar is great! I ordered it on June 24, 2022 and it arrived on June 30, I appreciate the fast shipping. I started using it in August, and it still lasted me until now (December). I love the way it smells, it has a sweet citrus smell. I also bought the shampoo bar of the same smell, and I like how it lingers on my pillow. I have seen a change of much more full hair on the temples side. The picture on the bottom was taken on April 23, 2022 and the top picture is of today Dec. 9, 2022.
It’s a great product. It enhances my waves like no other yet it is not advertised to do so. Delivers more than it advertised. A great quality to see in a young company!
Wonderful conditioner. I can tell my hair just ate it up also! Healthy feeling and great conditioner. My hair is very dry along with my scalp. I love this stuff!!
Wanted to wait a while after using this shampoo to see if it continues working well or if my hair would start feeling any gunky build-up (I've noticed that with some other bar shampoos). I'm now on my 3rd bar, and am still loving it! It feels so clean and soft after every wash. My hair is smooth, feels fuller with weight and body.
When I received the first bar, it smelled so strong to me that I was considering returning it. As it aired out a bit, it became the perfect amount of scent, I'm glad I waited to decide. It even makes my shower smell amazing, like an essential oil diffuser.
A big bonus is it's way better for traveling: takes up less space, no airport hassles or spills either.
My hair has never felt better. Colour treated previously, my hair has always felt dry and brittle until I started to use the shampoo bar and consisting bar, citrus. I don’t even need any product afterwards to smooth my hair. It is soft to the touch too!
Ok. I’ve used a LOT of high-end hair care working at Sephora for 8 years. Purology Hydrate was my ride or die shampoo and conditioner, but this is FAR better for 3 reasons:
1.) I used to struggle with flaky, sometimes itchy scalp and had to to apple cider vinegar rinses weekly. I have absolutely none of these issues anymore immediately after switching to Viori bars.
2.) I have been switching to bars for everything possible to cut my plastic usage down. There is SO much wasted plastic in huge liters of hair care packaging (and watered down product inside, to boot) and I really appreciate the zero plastic packaging from the bottom of my heart. Sounds a bit cheesy, but everything counts.
3.) I was always a firm believer in switching your shampoo formula every other wash to prevent product buildup, but not ONLY do never have to do that anymore, but I can wash my hair every single day if I want to, and it is NEVER dry, NEVER oily or flaky, or weighed down; I throw a bit of Morroccanoil treatment and blow dry it and it looks PERFECT.
I am so grateful for this product and have recommended it to everyone I know who has hair.
TWO OTHER PERKS
A.) it’s so affordable!!!!!!!
B.) it’s travel friendly!!!! Just got back from a road trip and it was stupid easy and clean to store.
P.S. This review is so glowing that is sounds fake but it is not sponsored and I didn’t receive free product in compensation. It’s just that good!
I have been using their shampoo and conditioner bars since November 2021. After the first use I noticed that my hair was softer and shinier. As time has passed my hair has looked healthier, grown faster, and become easier to manage. No additional hair products are necessary when you use their shampoo and conditioner bars. My hair looks amazing, and the complements don’t stop. Now I tell everyone that compliments me on my hair about Viori. So “Viori” if you see your Northern Virginia sales go up, you’re welcome. 😊
I have tried so many high end shampoo's and conditioners over the years. I feel like I am a product junkie and am always looking for miracle hair care products. I LOVE this conditioner! It really is amazing. I would like to mention that my hair is very sensitive to protein in my products. I used this product almost daily for 3 months with no issues. Once I hit the 3 month mark I did feel like I had protein overload. If your hair has issues with protein I would still try this and use it once or twice a week. Daily might end up being too much. I did take a break from using and have started again but I won't use them daily. Still.....these products are amazing. I wish my hair could handle protein better.....if so this would be all that I would use. I love Viori!
I've tried many brands and this is THE ONE for me! I'm a daily swimmer with long hair, and this works for me beautifully, working as well and easily as bottled conditioner.
My hair has never felt or looked healthier! I’ve been using Viori and I don’t even need hair products I just wash dry and go it’s absolutely amazing. And I LOVE all their scents. So glad I found them!!
First , I want to tell that is an amazing 100 % safe environmental product, no empty bottles to recycle. Secondly, it smells amazing, and it makes my hair super soft, shiny and frizz free. Even that it is a solid shampoo, it is very foamy. The conditioner does its job-detangles the hair making it very soft. I definitely would recommend these products to my friend.
I’ve been using the citrous Yao bars for a month now and i LOVE them. Not only do they smell beautifully but they do my hair JUSTICE. I workout in the am and run in the pm and go a few days (2-3) without washing and it looks great! I don’t use a dry shampoo or anything else. I use very little heat. My scalp is typically very oily and i tried diff brands (salon/drug store) and none worked for me as much as the bars! Also I’m not even halfway through my bars life.
About 80 washes — roughly the equivalent of three bottles of liquid shampoo. Stored on a slatted holder, dry between uses, you'll usually get 2–3 months out of a bar.
Is it safe for color-treated hair?
Yes. The formula is sulfate-free and pH 5.0–5.5, both of which protect color longevity. Independent reporters with color-treated hair haven't seen accelerated fade.
What if my hair feels weird the first few washes?
That's the transition phase — sulfate residue and silicone buildup releasing. It usually takes 2–4 washes. If after a week it still doesn't feel right, send it back, no questions.
How do I travel with it?
Use the travel tin. Bars are solid-state, so they don't count as a liquid for TSA. One bar replaces a 12oz bottle in your carry-on.
Subscription vs. bundle — can I stack?
No — it's whichever discount is larger. Subscription gets you 20% off, the trio bundle is also 20%. We don't double-stack so the unit price stays sustainable.
What's your guarantee?
30 days. Use the bar, see how your hair feels. If it's not for you, we'll refund it — even if you've used the entire thing.
