Our Story

Our Story

Founded in 2021, by friends Xim from Nanjing, China, and Nadine from London, England with the goal of bringing the Yao women's secret to hair care to the world.

Nadine always dreamed of having long, luscious hair, but she struggled to grow her locks. Then, she discovered the Yao women's secret to hair growth: rice water.

With both founders living in China, they visited the Red Yao Long Hair Village to explore more and quickly developed a new appreciation for hair care.

frequently asked questions

 

How many washes can I get from my bars?

Around 40-50 washes, depending on how often you wash your hair and how you take care of your bars.

 

How do you source your rice water?

Our fermented rice water is made by the Red Yao women and comes directly from the Longji Rice Terraces.

 

How do I use my bars?

Using shampoo and conditioner bars is pretty much the same as using liquid shampoo and conditioner.

  1. 1. Wet your hair with warm water.
  2. 2. Wet the shampoo bar and lather it in your hand.
  3. 3. Massage it into your hair and scalp for 2 minutes.
  4. 4. Rinse thoroughly. Do the same with the conditioner bar. Just like liquid conditioner, the conditioner bar doesn't lather, just gently rub the bar until it creates some cream, then apply the cream to your hair.

We've made a video tutorial for you as well.
