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.

Chronic Stress: Leading Causes of Hair Loss

April 04, 2022 3 min read

A head full of beautiful and healthy hair is a beautiful sight to behold. But as with everything beautiful some factors work against it. There are lots of factors that affect and influence hair growth; genetics, age, sex, nutrition, stress, etc. In this article, we’re going to focus on stress, how it affects hair growth, and what you can do to reduce and handle your stress so you can have healthy beautiful hair.

According to research, stress is one of the main factors that negatively affects hair growth. This is something to seriously look into because we are subjected to physically and emotionally stressful conditions every day now more than ever. There’s no better time than now to understand how stress affects the health of your hair and how to handle stress as it pertains to your hair.

Relationship Between Stress and Hair Loss

There are thousands of hair follicles on the adult scalp and they go through three cyclical stages of growth. There is anagen (the growth stage), catagen, and telogen (the rest phase) after which the hair is shed. Significant emotional or physical stress can disrupt this cycle and lead to hair loss.

Three Types of Hair Loss Can Be Linked to Stress:

Telogen Effluvium

This type of hair loss is linked to significant emotional stress, like the loss of a loved one or divorce. Hair is suddenly shifted to the telogen phase (the resting phase) and there is a premature shedding of hair. In this case, simple actions like combing or brushing can cause hair to fall off.

Trichotillomania

This is more psychological than physiological. Unpleasant feelings like stress, boredom, and loneliness cause some people to have an irresistible urge to pull on their hair

Alopecia Areata

This type of hair loss involves the immune system attacking hair follicles and thereby inducing hair loss.

Tips For Managing Stress

Stress indeed affects hair growth, but the effects can be reversed if stress is managed and brought under control. Here are some tips and practices that can help reduce stress and consequently improve the health of your hair.

Pay Attention To Your Emotional Health

Learn and practice relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, deep breathing, etc. They are effective ways to handle stressful daily activities that can’t be avoided and install habits that will keep you calm and relaxed.

Exercise Consistently

Exercising is a great way to reduce stress and keep your body healthy. The key here is being consistent with it.

Consistently Eat a Balanced Diet

You can help support your hair health by eating food high in protein and vitamins. Protein is great for your hair because hair is made of keratin, which is a protein.

Spend Time With Your Loved Ones

Spending time with the people who make you happy is a great way to avoid and manage stress. Try not to isolate yourself as this will only make your stress worse.

Take Great Care When Washing and Styling Your Hair

Make sure to use products that you’re sure are great for your hair as using the wrong products or products with harsh chemicals can stress your hair and scalp and trigger hair loss. The Red Yao Tribe in Southern China is known for its dramatically long and healthy hair. Apart from their special hair care recipes they also live very close to nature, in a relaxed environment free of the stressors present in cities and urban areas. Try as much as possible to reduce your exposure to situations that can cause emotional or physical stress and your hair will thank you for it.
