Why do so many recipes call for rice powder in shampoo
Is rice powder effective in shampoo bars? What does it do for hair?

It could give a gentle exfoliating effect, help to absorb oil or add bulk to the shampoo bar

Rice starch (aka “rice powder”) will not add much exfoliation and minimal bulking but is very adept at absorbing sebum, plus it lends a silky sensorial finish on rinse-off. In dry shampoos it may be most of the formula for just those reasons. I like it best in solid deodorant sticks for this.
