Highlights
Summary
The Kitsch Rice Water Protein Strengthening Shampoo Bar repairs damaged follicles and ends, making hair smooth & soft to the touch. Prevents split ends and encourages hair growth, while adding shine & bounce to dull, dry hair.
Benefits
- Gives you a nourishing cleanse to encourage overall hair length & density
- Boosts shine in dull, dry hair
- Reduces single-use plastic: saves two bottles of liquid shampoo/conditioner.
- Supports growth. The amino acids present in it help in the regeneration of hair and aid faster growth of your hair. It contains vitamins B, C, and E, which further help in hair growth.
- Strengthening. Just as protein helps build strong and healthy muscles, the protein in rice water is believed to help improve the overall condition of hair.
- Smoothing. Damaged and high porosity hair has difficulty retaining moisture, resulting in frizz and split ends. The proteins found in rice water may counteract this, reducing breakage and improving hair's texture.
- Balanced. Although hair needs moisture to stay healthy, excess moisture can actually do more harm than good. To rebalance overly moisturized locks (aka hygral fatigue), try a protein treatment like a rice water.
Features

Showing 20 out of 24 Questions
- Q
Can this shampoo bar help control an extra oily scalp?
- Asked by Carms
- Official Answer By KITSCH - Brand EngageThe Rice Water Shampoo Bar can help with an oily scalp, but it gives a gentle, balanced cleanse rather than a deep clarifying wash. It removes excess oil without stripping, so many people find it helps them go a bit longer between washes. If your scalp gets very oily or you deal with buildup, using our Clarifying Shampoo Bar once or twice a week alongside it usually gives the best results.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
How often is it recommended to use? Everyday? Every other day?
- Asked by Noa
- Official Answer By KITSCH - Brand EngageThe Rice Water Shampoo Bar can be used daily or every other day, depending on your hair’s needs. If your hair is weak, damaged, or needs strengthening, regular use (even daily) can help improve shine, texture, and elasticity thanks to the amino acids and vitamins in rice water. However, if you have porous, protein-sensitive, or chemically treated hair (like color-treated hair), it’s best to use it every other day or a few times a week to avoid protein buildup, which can make hair feel dry or brittle.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
When shampooing I often accidentally have water run down my face, but I noticed this has a warning not to get it in the lip area. Will anything bad happen to me if I accidentally get it on my lips?
- Asked by Lazy
- Official Answer By KITSCH - Brand EngageIf a small amount of the Rice Water Protein Hair Shampoo Bar accidentally gets on your lips, it shouldn't cause any harm. However, it’s best to avoid getting it in the lip area as the formula is meant for hair and might be drying or irritating to sensitive skin, like that on your lips.Was this answer helpful to you

What's the pH of this shampoo? I have overactive keratin production which causes my hair strands to be textured-- would this be a good product to use for this?
- Asked by Kitsune

Can I use this everyday? Going to Europe for two months. Was hoping it could replace liquid hairwash entirely during that time?

- Q
I've seen kitch in reviews isn't good for color treated hair, people have said its removed their color. Is it color safe or not
- Asked by Jlee
- Official Answer By KITSCH - Brand EngageOur Rice Water Protein Hair Shampoo Bar is safe for color-treated hair. However, some users with very sensitive or porous hair may notice color fading more quickly, especially if they are using a lot of product or washing frequently. We recommend doing a patch test to see how it works with your hair.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this rice water shampoo product safe for colored hair?
- Asked by Doglover
- Official Answer By KITSCH - Brand EngageIf you have porous, protein-sensitive, or chemically treated hair (such as colored hair), you might want to limit the use of Rice Water Shampoo and Conditioner. In such cases, the hair is more porous and prone to protein overload, which could make your hair feel brittle, dry, or heavy. For daily care, you might consider trying our Castor Oil Shampoo and Coconut Oil Conditioner, which are formulated to be gentle and nourishing.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can you use this with hair extensions?
