Just received my bars last week and it was my first time using shampoo bars so I didn't really know what to expect. I have to say the shampoo was really gentle on my scalp and the conditioner bar did a really good job of detangling my hair.It came with a foaming net which made the bars super easy to use and is really handy for traveling. I have wavy, colour treated hair which usually tends to be on the dry side, but not anymore! For now my hair feels smooth and moisturised so I think I'll stick with the bars and continue to observe the results. :)
I've got 4C Afro hair and most shampoos are way too harsh. But these bars? So gentle and nourishing on my coils. The conditioner bar melted right through my kinks for easy detangling. And my curls were bouncy and defined after, not dried out. I'm telling you, my hair was happy! The shampoo cleaned without stripping and the conditioner had that good slip. These bars are a win for 4C naturals needing gentle care. My coils love them so these bars are sticking around!
I was impressed with the speed of delivery, I received the shampoo and conditioner. I am very happy with this ecological choice, the ingredients are of the highest quality. I had a lot of dandruff and often the products in the pharmacy made my hair dry, since I have been using this shampoo my hair is clean, thick and shiny. The conditioner makes the hair very easy to comb, nourishes it but leaves it clean and light. I'm very satisfied, my hair changed in 13 days, and I used this product just tree times, that's impressive.
Yao shampoo bar is amazing. I have many issues with my hair (thin, dyed) and very sensitive scalp. This shampoo makes hair look shiny and healthy and it's really kind with your skin (I've also tested as a face cleanser!). My daughter, who as long, thick, oily hair, is really satisfied too and she replaced all of her products with the bar. It'm my third purchase and customer service is just lovely as their product. People in Yao staff are very kind and shipping is super fast.
I've been using Yao Secret bars for a couple of weeks now and I'm pretty impressed with my results so far! I have medium-length combination hair that tends to get oily at the roots and dry at the ends since I colour it often. Since switching to the bars I feel like my scalp is more balanced, it feels moisturized, but neither too dry nor too oily. I wish I hadn't put off using bars for so long, they're actually much simpler to use than I thought they would be, plus it's helping me fulfil my resolution to become more sustainable.
I'm delighted to share my experience with the solid bar shampoo! What truly impressed me was how amazing it worked on my hair. Not only did it leave my hair soft and shiny, but it also felt incredibly nourished and healthy. The convenience of using a solid bar was a game-changer for me, and I appreciate the eco-friendly approach it offers. Overall, I'm truly thrilled with the results and can confidently say that this product has become an essential part of my hair care routine.
The delivery was super quick within 3-4 days I already got the package.I'm using the bars for almost a month now and they are working really well for my hair I really love them my hair feels so nice and soft, I was searching for a liquid shampoo alternative a and I am really happy that I found these. At first you kinda need to get used to the bar because its obviously very different than liquid shampoo but once you have the hang of it its pretty simple. I would really recommend buying them and I will definitely stick to these from now on.
Was gifted a set of the shampoo and conditioner bar from a friend who's a fan. Was quite skeptical but seeing her hair getting smoother and shinier got me curious about them. This is my first time using a shampoo bar and I must say it does take a while getting used to. The results - exactly what I was told! My hair is considered frizzy and after using the bars for a week I can feel my hair getting smoother and become more manageable. I also like the very mild nature scent of the bar - very refreshing and rejuvenating. Go green products! I actually think I might be a convert now LOL.
The shampoo and conditioner are making my hair flawless! They make my hair feel better, silkier and stronger just after one use. Definitely beats any other products have tried. My order also got stuck during the delivery but they sent me a new one. Totally recommend!
I'm really happy I discovered Yao Secret. I do think it is a bit expensive, for a student's budget especially, but so far I've had great results from the shampoo and conditioner bar. The conditioner one is a little bit more difficult to use because I find only a little product seems to come off when you rub it between your hands with warm water, and it quickly crumbles. However my hair becomes really clean, soft and shiny so I love them nonetheless. I also really love the idea of supporting such a local small business, with a beautiful cultural tradition.

LEARN ABOUT OUR FORMULA"My hair has become incredibly soft from using this product—softer than my 5-year-old's hair! It’s a genuine softness, not that artificial coated feeling. I've been using it for months now and am already on my second set of bars. I absolutely adore it! Thank you, Yao Secret, for offering such an amazing product!"
"I’m thrilled to share my experience with the solid shampoo bar! What really stood out was how wonderfully it worked on my hair. It left my hair not only soft and shiny, but also feeling deeply nourished and healthy. The convenience of a solid bar has been a game-changer, and I love the eco-friendly aspect of it. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results and can confidently say this product is now a must-have in my hair care routine."
"This product is incredible! It even came with complimentary mesh bags for easy storage and use, plus the packaging was fantastic. My hair has never felt better! I usually use brands like Joico, Matrix, and Kerastase, but this product completely blew me away—and at half the price of those high-end brands, it's absolutely worth it. I would recommend it 100%! The brand's commitment to supporting the indigenous community and partnering with them has made this my new go-to shampoo and conditioner. And don’t get me started on the eco-friendly packaging—it’s just perfect!"
"The Yao Secret Shampoo Bar is incredible. I have a lot of hair concerns (thin, dyed hair) and a very sensitive scalp, but this shampoo leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy, while being gentle on my skin. I even tested it as a face cleanser! My daughter, who has long, thick, and oily hair, loves it as well—she's completely switched to using the bar instead of her other products. This is my third time purchasing, and the customer service is as wonderful as the product itself. The Yao Secret team is so kind, and shipping is always super fast!"
"I’ve been wanting to switch to shampoo and conditioner bars for a while, and when I came across Yao Secret, I decided to give them a try. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for my hair! They’re incredibly easy to use and last much longer than traditional shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels lighter, healthier, and so much easier to manage. I’m really glad I discovered these!"
