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.

Split End Solutions That Won’t Sacrifice Length

April 11, 2022 3 min read

The basic split, the candle, the tree, fork in the road… all types of split ends, those splits at the end of the hair that start slowly and end up leading to hair breakage and overall hair damage. Split ends, hair breakage, and hair fall can be easily mistaken for each other, so it is important to determine if you’re experiencing split ends and hair breakage or hair fall. To do this, look at your brush and study the structure of the hair, if you see a bulb at the end of the hair strands that means it’s hair fall.

Now, don’t freak out if it is hair fall, it is normal, we all lose hair every day. You should only have it checked out if it is way more than usual and happens too often. If you’ve confirmed that what you have is hair breakage and split ends and you need information on how to prevent it and deal with it, this article is for you. The truth is, there is no way to fix your hair once it’s broken. Yes, there are products like split-end menders, leave-ins, treatment masks, and conditioners that can make your hair appear smoother and less frayed. But in the case of split ends, prevention is better than cure.

What Causes Split Ends?

The causes of split ends can be divided into two: physical and chemical.

Physical Causes

Exposure to extreme weather conditions
Hair care methods like blow-drying, straightening, and curling
Overbrushing
Towel drying
Picking at your hair
Heated styling

Chemical Causes of Split Ends

Hair colouring with bleach or dye
Relaxing or perming treatment
Keratin treatments

How To Prevent Split Ends

Don’t Brush Wet Hair

The hair’s shaft gets swollen and stretched when exposed to water, so your hair is slightly structurally stressed when it’s wet. Brushing your hair in this state adds more stress and can cause split ends and ultimately cause your hair to break. Brush your hair only when it’s dry, and if you want to brush maybe after taking a shower make sure to dry your hair before brushing it.

Brush and Style Gently

Treating your hair gently and paying close attention when styling and brushing can help prevent split ends and keep your hair from breakage. Don’t apply too much pressure when combing or styling, make sure not to pull too strongly. You should also be intentional about the accessories you use, plastic and metal accessories can tug and break your hair, so you can opt for accessories wrapped in fabric instead.

Reduce Heat Exposure

Hair straighteners and curling irons are the clear culprits here. Heat is not exactly great for your strands. Make sure to keep the heat low when using any of these devices.

Be Careful With Chemical Products

Chemicals can be very damaging to the hair if they are not used correctly, especially those designed to change the structure or colour of the hair. Carefully selecting the products to be used on your hair to reduce chemical exposure is a very great way to prevent split ends. A solid inspiration is the Red Yao Tribe known for only cutting their hair once in their lives and using only natural products. They do not use complicated and over-processed products, they simply wash their hair in rice water and treat it with great care.

Fixing Split Ends Without Sacrificing Length

The tips we’ve discussed so far are for preventing split ends. We pointed out earlier that with split ends prevention is better than cure. Although trimming is the best solution for split ends, there are ways to fix split ends without sacrificing too much length.

Hair Dusting

Hair dusting is a great way to get rid of split ends without losing too much hair. You’ll need to visit a hairstylist for this one.

Candle Burning

This method involves sealing the split ends so they don’t split again. Like hair dusting, it can only be done at a salon by a professional. It involves burning twisted sections of hair and burning it with a candle, so a lot of care has to be taken to avoid injury.

Deep Conditioning

This is aimed at deeply moisturizing and making your hair supple and soft. For this, you’ll need a conditioner with as many natural components as possible because conditioners have moisturizing ingredients. You can use coconut oil masks, sweet almond oil, or argan oil if you want to lean more towards natural products.

Serums

Serums won’t actually heal or fix your split ends, but until you get the time to visit a salon for one of the more viable fixes, you can hide your split ends with a shine serum.

Hydration

If you already have split ends, you can nurse them back by using a conditioner and hair products with ingredients that will keep your hair hydrated.
