A little intro: I have been on a lifelong journey to find a good shampoo for my hair. I have most definitely tried every shampoo under the sun. Grocery store shampoo, salon shampoo, natural shampoo, no ‘poo method, you name it! I have fine, color-treated (aka highlighted to all heck), wavy hair. It’s an incredibly hard combo to manage and keep healthy.
I will also admit to you that I am the Facebook Ads team living and breathing dream! I’m a total sucker. I’m pretty sure I’ve been their “Employee of the Month” once or twice. I’m a mom of two. I shop from my phone. I go to Target. There are a couple of my favorite little local shops here that I go to for gifts, but other than that, I shop online. I support a TON of small shops and business from all over the country and really the world that way. But like I said, I have bought many, many a thing from FB ads. Razors, vitamins, clothes, toys, and now my latest thing: the Viori Shampoo Bar.
Full disclosure, I have only been using it for a couple of weeks now. But that’s how much I love it, I already want to share it with the world. You may be thinking a shampoo bar??? Trust me, it’s actually easy to use.
In two weeks it has made my hair so soft and it feels soooo healthy- for me, that’s a WIN. I have been so dang impressed by how much it lathers and how well it actually washes my hair.
I only use sulfate-free shampoos because I color my hair and sulfates can drastically fade your color. Not to mention, they dry your hair out. So this one fit the bill as it’s all-natural and free of sulfates, parabens and all the yucky stuff we don’t want on our hair.
The whole company is based on the ancient haircare rituals of the Red Yao Tribe- the woman use shampoo bars with longsheng rice in it. It’s what is touted as keeping their legendary beautiful hair long and free of turning gray. And the bars are full of other amazing, natural, nourishing ingredients.
Packaging: A win in my book! It was so pretty and fun to unwrap the shampoo bar. I bought the citrus one as it said it was good for oily hair and my hair, being so fine, can get oily quick so I thought it would be my best bet. It smells lovely. The soap was slightly smudged in the paper, but no biggie. I also bought the conditioning bar- Hidden Waterfall scent. Also lovely. Their packaging is plastic-free and sustainable. Bonus and bonus.
Use: The website has a very easy description on how to use it. Wet hair, lather the bar, rub all over hair, let soak in for a few minutes, dampen, work in and then rinse. Sounds like a lot, but it’s really not. If you have used sulfate-free shampoos before, you know they don’t lather as much as traditional ones. So it’s a treasure when you find one that actually lathers. This one does! It covers hair easily. Follow their directions and it will cleanse your hair thoroughly. And the conditioning bar does a great job at softening and making hair manageable.
Storage: We have a little shelf in our shower so I keep mine on that, safe from the water so it won’t disintegrate. The company recommends and sells a little bamboo holder if you feel like it needs more protection. But mine has been 100% fine just sitting on the shelf, not in a holder. It also seems like the bars will last quite a long time, so budget friendly.
Viori also gives back to the Red Yao tribe- I LOVE THIS. We should all be supporting companies that are giving back to the world and their communities.
