Kitsch Rice Water Protein Solid Shampoo and Conditioner Set for Hair Growth – Strengthening Hair Care Duo w/Rice Protein & Vitamins for Damage Repair – Paraben, Sulfate & Silicone Free, Made in USA

the shampoo lathers much better than I expected; the conditioner is rich as well. Hair feels clean and soft. I bought them for traveling to minimize liquids in my carry-on, and I was skeptical. But they work really well - it doesn't feel like weird or inferior products at all - totally on a par with the liquid shampoo and conditioner I'm use to. They have a nice, subtle scent too.

I bought the Kitsch shampoo and conditioner bar to help downsize my toiletries for my recent trip to Rome, and I am honestly blown away by how good it is. The rice water shampoo and conditioner bars smell amazing, lather beautifully, and leave my hair feeling incredibly soft and moisturized. These bars have made my hair softer than any regular bottled shampoo and conditioner I’ve ever used, truly. Before this, I never liked wearing my hair down and straight because no matter what products I tried, it always looked frizzy and never felt smooth. After switching to this shampoo bar, I actually prefer styling my hair straight now. It’s smooth, shiny, and completely frizz-free. I absolutely LOVE this shampoo and conditioner bar, and I’m so glad I discovered it. It’s become a staple for me, and I can’t imagine going back to traditional shampoo bottles.

Hair: Knee length, best guess without an expert appraisal is 1b with some a and c mixed in. Dark brown with red highlights and now lots of white strands. Never dyed or treated. Only recently began minimal blow drying with a Dyson. Washed twice a week; used Kitsch for six weeks before reviewing. Previously primarily used Pantene Smooth and Sleek for many decades. Pros: Tangle-free (almost as much as Pantene, at least once I added hair serum after towel drying). The brush catches a little bit, more than with Pantene, but there aren't knots and snarls. Once dry my hair is soft to the touch, more so than with Pantene in fact. All my life if my hair has lain on my bare arm or back it's been itchy, but with the Kitsch it feels quite nice. I have a number of shorter hairs mixed in and those no longer stand straight out from my head. I haven't noticeably lost any volume but my 1c hairs are behaving better. No constant throwing out of plastic bottles. I did get plastic ramen-noodle-looking pads to rest the bars on for drainage, but those are corn starch based and will last a long time. Also no wrestling to pop open a plastic lid with my failing hands. The clean feel lasts longer. I wash every three or four days. By the fourth day I'm used to my hair feeling itchy and greasy, but with the Kitsch I haven't felt the frantic need to wash it. Neutral: Meh scent. I was expecting something like my Ecos Shower Spray tea leaf scent, light and refreshing; the Kitsch is a bit sour. My cats get very snuggly after a Pantene wash but they don't react at all when I smell of Kitsch. On the other hand, the scent isn't very strong, and as I'd rather have minimal boring scent than intense smells, I'm ok with it. Unknown duration. The bars are holding up pretty well, except my husband tested the conditioner without asking for instructions and scrubbed the dry bar onto his head until it was deformed and enough conditioner had come off to make the shower a skating rink >< So I can't say if they would have diminished at an even rate. They likely won't last as long for me thanks to my having three times as much hair as most. Cons: Takes longer to use. I have to lather my hands up three or four times and finish with some "painting" to coat all my hair instead of just pouring one palm full of Pantene. (One lathering is likely enough for shoulder length hair). The conditioner is even harder to get enough. I'm lucky enough to have essentially unlimited hot water and a lot of leisure time in my retirement, but if you need to wash inside of ten minutes this may slow you down. The "painting" can end up with loose hairs stuck to the bar, which icks me something fierce. Doesn't stop scalp itch. I have two spots that itch a lot of the time, possibly where I don't rinse and dry as thoroughly. After the first wash, my scalp felt fantastic, but all subsequent washes have left me with the itch. Doesn't turn hair into a salon commercial. I was hoping to end up with one sleek yet voluminous mass. I do get volume, but the top layer of the hair is all individual strands, if that makes sense. Kitsch hasn't turned my hair into a silky sheet. But it has made it a soft cloud, so it's not a huge con.

I waited until I had a few washes in to make a review, and the results are in: it’s good! I’ve been trying to find a shampoo that meets a few specific requirements, which is easier said than done. One, it must make my coarse and unruly mane of hair less of a hassle to manage. Two, it must not interfere with my ongoing issues of shedding and scalp irritation. Three, I don’t want to contribute more to landfill waste than absolutely necessary. Four, it needs to clean my hair well without relying on harsh chemicals that irritate my scalp. Yes yes, I know, I’m picky and sensitive about my hair products. But these bars meet 3.5 out of 4 of my needs (we’ll get to that half-point). The shampoo and conditioner are both great. The shampoo lathers and cleans like a liquid shampoo, and the conditioner applies easily and leaves my hair silky, stronger, and full of volume. Point one, check. It also doesn’t seem to irritate my scalp or contribute to shedding. Point two, check. The paper packaging is fantastic… though I’m not a fan of the bars themselves being wrapped in plastic sleeves that aren’t recyclable. Modern Mammals manages to use only cardboard packaging, so I don’t see why that’s not possible here. Still, it’s less plastic than a full bottle, so I’ll give it half a check. Fourth and final point; no harsh chemicals. It scored an 86/100 (“Excellent”) on Yuka, so that’s a check! I’ve tried other bar shampoos before, and they either fall apart too quickly or don’t lather or clean well (Modern Mammals, unfortunately, had both of those problems). So far, that’s not the case here. These bars are sturdy and hold up well to thick hair. Plus, they’re budget-friendly compared to liquid shampoo. I just wish they didn’t use plastic in the packaging, but otherwise, great product!

I bought both the shampoo and conditioner. It took a moment to get used to shampoo being in a bar. I really love everything about these. It smells great. It left my hair soft and full. I have also been suffering from hair loss. Hoping this brings back some of the hair I lost. This is really a great product! Left my hair soft, shiny and it was not heavy or weighed-down

Smells amazing. My hair is noticeably softer and shinier after only a few uses. I'll definitely continue using these.

Angenehmer Geruch, praktisch in der Anwendung. Softer touch für die Haare und gute Kämmbarkeit.

I was sceptical to try this combo hair products but found out that they were really good on hair. Hence, i ordered directly to the website to try other products.

Adoro!!! Questa marca è fantastica e questo kit funziona che è una meraviglia. Parto dal presupposto che i miei capelli sono normali, mossi, così come anche la mia cute e normale, ma tende a seccarsi e far prurito sulla nuca. Ho visto tante pubblicità di questo brand e incuriosita ho iniziato a spulciare e curiosare il loro sito, trovando delle chicche fantastiche. Ho fatto l'ordine da sito, ma siccome era in ritardo e io necessitavo comunque di uno shampoo in quanto quello vecchio era finito, ho trovato fortunatamente questo kit qui su Amazon e devo dire che è perfettamente come quello "originale" Questo set in particolare mi ha davvero stupito, lo shampoo lava bene e il balsamo idrata senza appensatire. Hanno una leggera profumazione dovuta a ingredienti naturali presenti nel prodotto. Io per di più faccio sempre oiling pre shampoo +maschera / oli sulle lunghezze e punte e devo dire che lo shampoo il suo lo ha fatto. Riesce a produrre schiuma (in quantità minute rispetto quelli liquidi) e lavare bene tutto, lasciando i capelli leggeri e morbidissimi al tatto. Il balsamo invece lascia i capelli morbidissimi, si risciaqua facilmente e una volta asciutti sono belli lucidi. Per me quindi è promosso, assieme anche alle altre versioni. La cosa importante, con qualunque shampoo, è alternare sempre con uno shampoo purificante per pulire bene la cute

Incredible!!! Works wonders! Will def keep buying!
