- 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

- Q
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
- Official Answer By KITSCH - Brand EngageThe Rice Water Protein Shampoo Bar has a pH of approximately 5.5, which is gentle and scalp-friendly. Since it’s infused with strengthening rice water protein, it may help support hair health, but if you have overactive keratin production, the added protein could potentially make your hair feel more textured.

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.

- 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

I love this. It's a little weird getting used to but my hair feels great. It does not leave my hair feeling greasy. I have fine hair. I will definitely be buying more.
Best change I've ever made!
Reviewed at
At first I was worried since I've never used a solid soap on my hair but I am SO GLAD that I gave it a go. This was the best choice I've ever made and I wish I was joking. I will never go back to any other shampoo and conditioner brands
Not as much lather as I hoped

At least there isn't any negative impacts to my hair, but I do wish it had more lather. I feel like I have to use more product than I should and I don't even have much hair

Oh my goodness! I must admit I was a bit skeptical, but I was also desperate. I'm 70. My hair was lifeless, dull, thinning, haggard looking 😔. I could tell a difference after the very first use. Now after 2 weeks, my hair is vibrant, full, shining, feels thicker. 🤗. It's a hair miracle!! I'm totally sold on this product and would encourage anyone who is hesitant to get it and experience your own hair rejuvenation.
