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.

7 Frizzy Hair Solutions for Smooth Strands

May 16, 2022 4 min read

Frizzy hair can be very difficult to deal with if you don’t have the right information to guide you. You might even be wondering why you have frizzy hair despite all the great products you spend money on and all the care you give to your hair. Not to worry! In this article, we'll explore frizzy hair; what causes it, and what solutions you can try out at home. This article is more about daily practices and habits that will help you reverse and prevent frizzy hair. There's no easy way to say this, but there isn’t an instant cure, so you’ll need to make some changes and adopt some practices to save your hair from getting frizzy.

The best solutions are most times simple. This is true for your hair, when you pay attention to your hair and become intentional with your hair care you’ll see results. Keep reading and we’ll introduce you to ideas and practices that’ll help you handle your frizzy hair and avoid getting your hair frizzy in the future.

What Causes Frizzy Hair?

The first step in the process of handling your frizzy hair situation is understanding what causes frizzy hair. Three primary factors cause hair frizz:

Environment (Humidity)

Humidity is one of the prime suspects when it comes to frizzy hair. Hair fibers act like sponges when the humidity is high (and when your hair is dry and lacks moisture), absorbing moisture from the humid air around and swelling up, which is not good for your hair.

Hair Structure

People with curly and thick hair are more prone to having frizzy hair. Compared to straight hair, curly hair is drier, this is because natural oils produced by the scalp can’t easily travel the length of the hair shaft in curly hair.

Damage to Hair

Hair damage like split ends, breakage, and cuticle damage give your hair a disheveled look because the damage doesn't allow your hair fibers to be uniform or aligned, giving a frizzy look. A raised cuticle allows moisture from the air to enter the hair shaft, causing it to swell.

Solutions To Frizzy Hair

Choose Your Shampoo and Conditioner Carefully

Shampoos and conditioners are staples for a great hair care routine, but you have to watch the products you’re using to avoid damage to your hair. Avoid products with alcohol as they tend to dehydrate the hair, making your strands go looking for moisture, leading to frizzy hair. Our fermented rice water shampoo and conditioner bars are made with natural ingredients, no sulphates, parabens, phthalates, soap, or synthetic fragrances. The Yao women from Longji village in the province of Guangxi use fermented rice water to wash their strikingly long black shiny hair. These brilliant women learned from a young age how to best care for their hair and their methods are still effective today!

Dry Your Hair With a Microfiber Towel

Your hair is very delicate and prone to damage when it is wet, you can cause hair breakage or induce frizz if you dry your hair with a rough towel. The goal is to absorb water from your hair without exerting any push or pull force on your hair strands. A microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt is a great way to achieve this goal and save your hair from damage and frizz.

Use a Diffuser When Drying Your Hair

Heat is damaging to your hair. If you can’t completely air-dry your hair, air-dry it till it’s almost dry then use a blow dryer with a diffuser to reduce the exposure of your hair to heat.

Use Your Hair Serum Religiously

Your hair gets a frizzy appearance when your strands are misaligned. Adding a hair serum to your hair care routine and being consistent with it will keep your hair strands aligned and give your hair a smooth and cohesive look.

Detangle With a Wide-Tooth Comb

Any form of strain is bad for your hair. It is important to be intentional with how you handle your hair and the accessories you use. You can’t use a hairbrush for your curls. A better option is a wide-toothed comb, like our Wide Tooth Detangling Comb. It provides the best and most hair-friendly way to detangle wet (or dry) hair. It features a wooden design for ease of use and wide teeth that effortlessly glide through your hair to untangle any knots without causing damage or uncomfortable snags.

Avoid Heat Tools

A fundamental rule to follow to keep your hair healthy and look great is to avoid exposing it to heat as much as possible. Avoid using heat tools on your hair, wash your hair with cold water, and use a diffuser when using a blow dryer (after you’ve let your hair air-dry).

Keep Your Hands Off Your Hair

If you have a habit of playing with your hair, and touching it all day, you have to find a way to stop the habit. The more you touch and play with your hair, the more friction you’re creating, which might put your hair in a frizz.
