Viori Terrace Garden Shampoo Bar Made with Rice Water - Handcrafted All Natural Shampoo Bars - Sulfate Free

I love this shampoo bar! I ordered a 2nd one because of how much I love it! The first bar lasted a very long time, but I wash my hair less often than the average person. This bar is so easy to use. I wet my hair down. Then, I rub the bar lightly onto my hair, in one direction only, in a downward direction to not rough up or damage my hair. I also rub the bar in my hands and apply more of the soap to my hair with my hands. It does not suds up much because of natural ingredients, so do not expect it to. However, this does not impact the cleaning factor. It does a fantastic job of cleaning my hair! I focus on massaging my scalp when washing to get the oil out. I can't believe the difference in my hair after using this bar for about 6 months. It's soft, strong, and has really been on a growth spurt! The one thing I've really noticed is how the ends of my hair are thicker and stronger, not thinning out, and not fraying as it grows. This has never happened to me before. My hair is also the longest it's ever been. And, it's not as dry as usual. My hair feels sturdy and strong. I do have fine hair, which used to break and be easily damaged. No more. It's still fine, but now it's strong, doesn't break, and it's healthy looking. The smell is so nice! I feel like I'm in a spa. This bar of soap lasted me quite awhile. It lasted longer than I thought it would. Originally, I kept it in the packaging it came in as recommended. But now, I'm keeping this 2nd bar on a soap dish. I'm going to see if it changes the length of time it lasts. I didn't like pulling it in and out of the packaging when using it in the shower. This is just a personal preference. I've been on a long, long journey of many years with my hair. I started with using coconut oil as a deep hydrating treatment twice a week. This worked well. Then, I only washed my hair every 3rd day after sleeping with the coconut oil in my hair. Eventually I went to washing only once a week. Now, I wash my hair twice a month. I use dry shampoo occasionally. Mostly I use arrowroot powder as a dry shampoo, in between washes, every few days to absorb oil. It also gives my hair a lift at the roots and added volume! My hair is now wavy and slightly curly, where it used to be stick straight. It's also longer than it's ever been. This shampoo bar is part of my journey with hair and it's optimum health! I highly recommend it. It took a few months for me to first start noticing the difference, but I have noticed a huge difference!

Viori has been my favorite shampoo bar brand for a while now. It lathers well and rinses from my hair cleanly without leaving my hair feeling dry. My hair is left shiny and it has volume like it should. The bars don't irritate or make my scalp itch at all. So easy to use, just wet and run the bar over my hair then rinse. The directions say to get your hands wet and lather up on your hands then apply, but I feel running the bar over my hair is more efficient and quick. I have very long and thick hair and one bar lasts two months with me washing every other day with about 6 more washes on days that I need an extra wash. For short hair, I would say this would last at least 4-6 months, possibly a little more. Great quality and results. I've tried coconut bliss, hidden waterfall, native essence, and terrace garden. The scent of terrace garden isn't my favorite as it has almost a rosy kind of smell and I don't like rose scent. But it still functions as well as all the others. Terrace garden is a great musky kind of greens scent and I love it. Native essence is unscented and is great for sensitive needs. Highly recommend all 3 scents.

I have brought multiple of these bars in different scents not only for myself but for some friends and family also. We all love them. They make your hair feel soft and healthy. I have been disappointed recently with some over the counter shampoos so wanted to try something different and this works really well. I know talking to the people I sent these too they said they have people compliment their hair on how shiny and nice it looks. The smell is nice without being overpowering. I enjoy these so much that I have been keeping extras in stock so don't run out.

I ordered this bar Sept. 8 2022, and I still have about a 1/3 of the bar left, but I feel I’ve used it long enough to leave a thorough review. First, I started out with a pixie haircut, have an oily scalp, thin hair at the crown, but incredibly thick hair from the occipital bone to the nape. TLDR: Don’t use the bar as frequently as they suggest or you will overload your hair with protein, making it brittle enough to break off. Always lather the bar in your hand, not on your scalp. It smells great, and my hair grew faster than normal, even they they don’t advertise it for hair growth. Onto the review. If you read comments, you’ll see everything from rave reviews to people saying that their hair is falling out or brittle. When I first bought the bar, I used it every two days like one of the images for the product showed. I was losing hair because it was SO brittle. I was adding too much protein to my hair by washing with viori so frequently (rice water does a decent amount of protein building from what I understand). So I switched to using the bar once every week and a half, which was more suitable for my fine hair. The rest of the time when I washed my hair I used a moisturizing shampoo bar (HiBar), which I had been using for nearly a year before. I saw a great improvement in both the strength and length of my hair. In three months my hair grew 2.5 inches. It may not sound like much to some, but that is much faster than usual hair growth for me. Another important thing I learned is that I HAD to lather the bar vigorously in my hand before swiping gently over my hair. Rubbing the bar into my scalp caused the finer hairs around my face to fall out. So I made sure my hair was really wet, I had a thick lather in my hands, and then I swiped both my “soapy” hand and the bar gently over my hair. No more hair loss! Yay! This shampoo bar smells fantastic while you use it, with a lovely citrus scent. However, the smell doesn’t linger once your hair dries. It lathers well, and, when used in what I view as the “proper” way, it will last ages. I’ve had mine for 6 months and seem to have a few more months left with it.

I'm very satisfied with this rice water bar shampoo. It lasts longer than anything similar to it that I've tried, it cleans well, leathers great, and the price is excellent. Very light scent, and it comes in a very cute little container that makes it easy to travel. I can't speak to it's effectiveness regarding hair growth because I use several different products, hair serums and minoxidil, and I've had good results with the whole routine. Bonus, no bottle because it's a bar, and I appreciate that in my effort to decrease my carbon footprint! I will definitely reorder whenever it's finally used up!

10/8/25 Update: Used my shampoo bar for the first time. I was surprised how easily it lathered up. My hair comes to just above my shoulders. It has thinned as I have aged, 70 yo, and is 50% gray. The texture used to be thicker and silky, but as it grayed, it became more coarse. I tell you this to understand any changes due to the shampoo. Well, after the first use my hair felt noticeably softer. I never use conditioner or products on my hair because I love my hair to feel silky and clean. Well, it definitely felt silkier and I love it! Will keep you updated. First, I don’t write many reviews. But I was so impressed that I had to write a review. Ok, I have not used my shampoo bar yet, but the smell of the soap is so wonderful that I had to leave a review of the smell! It smells clean and amazing and I can hardly wait to wash my hair with it (have a little bit of shampoo I want to finish up first). The wrapper even smelled so amazing that I put it in my underwear drawer. I also purchased the bamboo soap holder to protect my soap. I will be sure to update my review once I start using my shampoo bar. So excited!!

I’ve included a picture of basically the before and after size after a month of using it. Keep in mind I am probably three days now over the month but as you can see the conditioner hasn’t changed size but the shampoo is gone minus some residue on my mesh bag for maybe two more uses tops. So hopefully this won’t be too long, but I’ve been using one brand of shampoo for years and it was the most amazing shampoo and conditioner I’ve ever used and it never made my hair dry, and never felt like it left a coating. I could never use any other type of shampoo and conditioner because it always felt like it was leaving a coating on my hair or my hair felt ridiculously dry and would break easily. I’ve always had a problem with my hair growing so I started using essential oils instead of Hair growth shampoos, trying everything I can to not get on some thing that would make your hair fall out after forgetting to use it for a day or two. My hair has always been thin and using essential oils has made a huge difference, but it was trying to find a replacement shampoo and conditioner because the company stop making that exact name. It was Unilever “Clear” shampoo and conditioner. I even started buying the travel size just to get by and even then I was noticing that every one that I got had been expired for a long period of time and honestly that’s all I could do was use it. No other brand and I had tried several left my hair feeling clean And well conditioned. Without feeling greasy or oily or dry. With that being said, I don’t know why I skipped out on trying this before. I bought a couple other brands to try out but it’s been the best decision ever. Keep in mind there are some pros and cons to this bar. I’ve used actual rice water in my hair before and noticed a huge difference in how it felt so I know I wanted to use something with rice water. Pros: leaves your scalp and hair, feeling clean and the conditioner makes it feel moisturized enough that it’s not overpowering or make you feel greasy. It also did not make my hair feel dry. Cons: I guess this one’s a really big one for me, but the shampoo bar definitely needs to be twice the size because I’ve already gone through the shampoo and still have the same size conditioner. As much as that is a pro for the conditioner, that is a con for the shampoo because I don’t want to spend anywhere from $10-$20 depending on the current sale price for shampoo only for one month. another con is that it says using the shampoo every 2 to 3 days, I don’t know many people who can shampoo and condition their hair every 2 to 3 days, but me with my thin hair. I have to shampoo my hair every day. Otherwise, this probably would’ve lasted someone maybe two months if they shampooed their hair every other day. Like I said, I can’t do that so I went through my shampoo bar twice as fast. I guess the other con is that depending on the price that set at the time that you get it it can be anywhere from $16 to almost $20. For some thing I use once a month I feel like anything near $20 is a bit excessive. I would even be more so willing to pay $14 for something that lasted me a month but anything over that seems a bit expensive and excessive. I guess one more con is that I feel like there needs to be a mesh bag included. Lucky for me. I make my own soap so I used a mesh bag and doing so probably saved a lot of shampoo and conditioning days inside that mesh bag for me to use. Otherwise it probably would’ve been lost on the corner of the tub or in the soap dish depending on where you keep yours. I have a basket on the one side where I keep everything on one of the seats that I have in my standing shower. Overall, I’m very excited to be using this brand and happy that I can use a brand that doesn’t have sodium lauryl sulfate in it. I’m also happy that the floral brand that I bought smells very good. I know it seems like there’s a lot of cons, but it is really how I feel about it and in the end because I can’t find another brand like this. I have no problem overlooking the cons in order to keep my hair healthy. Update: so I’ve recently been having a little bit of issues with what appears to be residue. I still have my old shampoo so as soon as I washed my hair with that my hair felt like it was back to normal. I feel like I might not continue using the shampoo and conditioner, because in the end, I think it’s still leaving deposits in my hair, and I honestly don’t know what to do. I don’t feel like it is nearly as bad as some of the other shampoos but I’m gonna have to try using Other’s now.

I've only been using it for about a week, but so far I love this shampoo! I tried to used bar shampoo probably 15 years ago, and it left my hair so dry, it was nearly impossible to detailed. I've been using another brand of shampoo for probably 3 years or so and it was the best, but is no longer available, so I decided to try this shampoo bar. My hair is fairly long( past my natural waist) very thick, with a slight wave pattern, course, with oily scalp. After 1 use, my hair felt cleaner than it has in ages. Like squeaky clean, but without feeling stripped. I'm able to run my detonating comb through my hair in the shower with ease, and without using conditioner. After showering I use a lightweight curl cream and air dry. My hair feels amazing well into the next day. My hair is very heavy and is always so weighed down, it just looks lifeless. There is some volume now and it feels so nice and silky, no longer lifeless. It's scent is nice and light, clean smelling. Almost like orange blossom. It's not strong at all after my hair is dry. I'm going to stock up, I don't want to run out and find out it gets discontinued like my old shampoo.
