Night Shadow shampoo bar for weak hair and scalp + volume

This was recommended to me after I complimented a neighbor on her hair looking particularly good. Like me, she has thinning, flat menopausal hair. I've tried several bar shampoos and this one remains my favorite. It lathers beautifully after 2 or 3 sweeps across my head and rinses out nicely. (I do use a cream conditioner afterwards as I have yet to find a bar conditioner that I like.) My hair blow dries with extra body after using this shampoo and looks shiny and healthy. It smells nice too!

I grew up with thick naturally curly hair. Age and an autoimmune disease has resulted in thin and fine hair that I spend too much money and time on. I read about the Arencia Night Shadow solid shampoo bar and purchased from curiosity I guess. I love it . Clean , shiny, hair with lot 's of body. No perfume smell . Just a soft , clean smell that does not over power my actual perfume. Love the freedom of just one product . Great nondrying lather resulting in shiny , bouncy hair.

I have super frizzy and dry hair. Tried many many different kinds of hair products from shampoo, conditioner, leave-in moisturizer, oil etc... and nothing seems to work. This tames the embarrassing frizz right from the first application! So happy for that! However, may take time to see the effectiveness for dryness (especially ends/split ends) and the shine to hair. I'm not a fan of bar soap, therefore, there's an adopting factor and adjustment. It doesn't lather up or feel the smoothness like regular soap, so may wonder if the product actually applied on hair when used. Hence, it took many rubbings to convince myself that the product got on my hair. Seems like it applied better in running water even though I wonder if product would also wash thin during the process. It doesn't feel silky and smooth like other conditioners, but does work in calming the frizz. So, if nothing else, love it for minimizing frizz!

Good product, but you need to know that is clean very well so I would NOT recommend on extremely dry or damaged or processed hair. If you do use this then you will definitely need a hair conditioner afterwards. No bar conditioner but bottle conditioner. I rotate this rice bar with bottle shampoo every other day when I do wash my hair. It isn't harsh enough to strip hair coloring out of your hair. But it will be streaky clean. If you do have hair, build up from using the soap bar, then it is probably best to just rotate between the soap bar and bottled shampoo and conditioner.

June 25 - I’ll write a “user” review after I’ve had a few days to try this product. For now, this is what it looked like upon arrival. I’m not sure what I expected, but imagined the bar would have been bigger. I hope it doesn’t erode away too quickly. July 6 - Not impressed. It’s a lathery soap. The end. It does not have a noticeable pleasant aroma, and body odors arise quicker than my brand named soap. (Yikes!) Also the soap puck (because it looks like a hockey puck) broke into pieces suddenly after about 10 days use. Attaching updated pictures of the broken soap and the left and right view of my ever present gray hair. *NOTE: I got a haircut 5 days in and hoped that would expedite the process for changing the color. See for yourself the results. I will continue to use until the last fragments of soap are gone and then write one final review. July 25 - When the puck got this small I wasn’t sure how long it would last so I took a picture. Then I showered and it obliterated, so good timing I guess. I found no difference in the color or texture of my hair over the last 5+ weeks use. Though the soap lathers well, - in my opinion - it does not provide a greater benefit than any other soap product, and it is certainly not worth the price.

Like the soap & lather, but after using about one third of bar it crumbles & falls apart & can no longer use. Very wasteful 😢

I have tried other bar soap shampoos, this so far has been the best. It gives my overly fine, and fragile grey hair volume and yet leaves it soft. For as long as I continue to sport even a thinning head of hair this will be the shampoo I use. It led me try some other ARENCIA products that are very good , skin cleansers and moisturizers but they are not as eco friendly and come in plastic containers. This shampoo however is the real deal.

The idea of this shampoo in a bar is brilliant; certainly great for travel. Here are the cons: The size is rather small for the price. I am really off-put by the scent- it smells rather like cheap perfume that I cant stand, it would be much more acceptable to me if it was unscented. I was disappointed in that white and black flecking supposedly designed for gray hair would be a great color enhancer = did absolutely nothing; The soap itself cleans well and doesn’t leave the hair dry or over oily; however I did notice that I have to wash my hair more often when I use this shampoo, perhaps it does have something that increases oil production in the sebaceous glands or is itself somewhat oily. It also claims that it encourages hair regrow the- I found ZERO benefit in this claim.. It claims it is a Volumizing shampoo- made my hair rather limp. Over all, I think this is an expensive bar shampoo that claims a lot of benefits it doesn’t deliver. Too bad because I really wanted to like it.
