Viori makes all-natural haircare products  made with the same natural ingredients that have given the Red Yao their legendary hair

For over 2,000 years, the Red Yao women have been developing powerful hair-care rituals, centered upon the cultivation of Longsheng Rice, that have prevented their hair from greying for centuries. At Viori, we use the same ancient rituals and natural ingredients to handcraft our solid shampoo and conditioner bars.

Shampoo & Conditioner

I’m actually a fan of these! They’re not magical and my hair isn’t transformed, but they work well and are a nice alternative to shampoo in a bottle.

While I am aware that this brand has been in the media for how it (mis)represented the heritage and story of the brand and the origins of its raw materials, I also was very curious to try the product. I sincerely hope that the 5% going back to the Red Yao is making a net positive impact, creating a sustainable partnership and jobs in the local community. The packaging of each bar is exceptionally well done. After finishing two shampoo bars and one conditioner bar, I am really impressed with the results on my long hair. I've tried so many brands and bottles of shampoo due to an ongoing flaky scalp. The Viori Bar is the first product that helped me get rid of the flaky scalp problem even with the dryness of this winter season. Between washes, my hair feels light and healthy.  The Heirloom Tea scent is light and just perfect. I don't think I actually got the estimated 60 - 100 washes per bar but it did last me about 5 weeks. The website has a quiz to help you find the product that best suits your needs! 

I wanted to love this product but haven't seen much of a difference in my hair. As another reviewer said, there are better bars at a lower price.

I really wanted to love this because I’ve been looking for a good shampoo bar, and like the idea of getting rice water benefits— and supporting what had seemed like a good brand (I’ve now read this may not be the case)

Unfortunately, the fragrance is unbearably strong. I am sensitive to fragrance but citrus scents usually are okay. Even keeping the bar in my car before returning it was too much. 

I love this! Made my hair smell SO good, no more wasting product in bottles (which also saves the planet). This def feels like a no brainer switch!

Hard to use the bars once they’re really small. Wish they’d either melt into the new bar once wet or dissolve into water to create a more traditional shampoo. Id also be interested in traditional liquid shampoo maybe in a refillable bottle. 

Idk why but their shampoo and conditioner has been THE BEST at controlling frizz and adding manageability. I have fine somewhat dense hard to penetrate hair that is a bit wavy. Every scent I tried also smells great, even the unscented. The shampoo bar has a nice lather but isnt drying at all, and conditioner feels nourishing and since its in bar format its really easy to control where it goes (ie keeping it away from my scalp and focusing it on my ends since i have oily hair). I use Viori as my regular haircare, and use a clarifying shampoo once a week that’s stronger at removing oil and buildup. 

There are not words to say how much I love the Viori shampoo and conditioner bars!  They come in a cute and useful bamboo case.  Super long lasting - mine are going on 6 months of use and will probably last another 6!  They make my hair so soft, shiny and healthy. Don’t you hate going on vacation and not taking your good shampoo with you?  Viori solves that - no leaks, no fuss.  Just terrific products.


After seeing their ads of how they use the same Longsheng rice formula inspired by the ancient haircare rituals of the Red Yao tribe, I was expecting better results. 
But to me the product is just expensive and gimmicky. It left my hair dull and the conditioner bar made my hair very greasy and heavy, even if I used it sparingly. 
It was time consuming to rub the bar between the hands to get the lather to wash my hair, and to apply the conditioner bar. 
Overall I did not see an improvement in my hair strength, shine or growth. There are far less expensive shampoo bars out there (the Trader Joe’s one does a far better job at a fraction of the price) and other products such as Vegamour which are way better to restore hair growth. 
I decided not to renew my order- I do find it suspicious that they only have 5 star reviews on their website. 

Viori started for me as the best shampoo and conditioner bars because it helped my scalp issues.
After 3 years something is off, they were transparent when some ingredients had to change due to availability and at first, I had no issues with it. Now? I can't use their Shampoo bars anymore due to scalp irritation however their conditioners are still amazing and I love their dry shampoo. This brand has the best scented hair bars I have ever came across.

I bought these shampoo bars a very long time ago and could not use them at first because of the strong fragrance, but once I did use them I really do like them a lot. I have waist length hair and a little still goes a long way. My hair feels cleaner and softer after using Viori than it does with any other product. I do wish, though, that the fragrance wasn't so concentrated.
