What it is
The more you use it, the more beautiful your hair becomes. This cleansing shampoo was born from a skincare concept. It thoroughly removes stubborn scalp and pore-dwelling dirt with just one shampoo. Daily scalp cleansing helps promote healthy, bouncy, and lustrous hair from the roots up. It's silicone-free and natural, yet cleanses thoroughly without harshness! It uses amino acid-based cleansing agents that are gentle on hair and scalp. Even stubborn styling products are cleared with just one shampoo, leaving hair feeling smooth and bouncy with a smooth, non-squeezing wash.. Scent: A refreshing, addictive oriental fragrance. The sweet scent of rose geranium, ylang-ylang, and lavender add a touch of greenery. It's finished with a touch of patchouli, reminiscent of binchotan charcoal.

I bought it because the reviews were so good. I've only used half of it, but I don't think it's that great for the price. My hair is still dry and rough, and difficult to manage. The salon-exclusive a cote series I've been using is cheaper and works better for me. This may be harsh, but it's just one person's opinion.
I used a sample. I suffer from dry, itchy scalp. I ordered a sample based on this review. The results were a bit mixed... I felt a bit itchy. My scalp remained dry. I also felt a bit rough. I think it's a good product, but I don't think I'll buy it again.
[I won't repurchase] Reason: It's a conditioner, not a treatment... I wonder if a conditioner can have a positive effect on hair? But when I use it, it makes my hair smooth... However, no shampoo can fix the tangles that occur in the evening...
It's so good I bought it again! As the name suggests, it's a jet black liquid shampoo, so at first I was worried that it would stain my hair, but once you lather it up, it turns into a pure white foam, so there's no need to worry. Even though it's silicone-free, it's not squeaky and lathers well, so I think it's okay to use a relatively small amount. The aroma is also soothing (*´ω｀*) The ylang-ylang oil, which is said to be good for female hormones, is very good.
A friend recommended this shampoo to me, so I gave it a try. As a former hairdresser, I've tried a variety of shampoos. I usually use what's considered a premium shampoo. My hair is frizzy and frizzy when it gets humid. I regularly straighten it and dye my gray hair monthly, and the ends are dry and damaged over time. I always use hair oil before blow-drying. This time, I used the conditioner as usual, but I didn't use any oil before blow-drying. This is my first time using a black shampoo, and without much information from the website, I'm giving my honest, unbiased review. The scent is a lovely charcoal scent, and it made me feel great while washing. I'm full of anticipation (lol). The texture is neither hard nor soft, and it blends in easily. The foam is fine, and it blends in well as you wash. It leaves my hair soft and smooth, and I felt it wasn't the same as the shady silicone-containing foams so common on the market. (With shampoos containing silicone, the shampoo feels like it sticks to your hands forever.) At this point, my hair is already soft and supple, and the hair oil I applied last time is gone, returning it to its natural state. Next, I rinse. Even after rinsing thoroughly, my hair remains smooth and not rough or tangled. It's clear to the touch that it's returned to its natural state. Finally, I used my usual commercial treatment, and it absorbed exceptionally well and penetrated rapidly. I'm looking forward to seeing it after it dries. As I dried, I was surprised to see that the shampoo had removed excess hair, giving it a great shine. I blew it as usual, but the brush glided smoothly through to the ends, and it felt so smooth it felt like it wasn't my own hair. It's been a while since I've used a shampoo that leaves my hair feeling so smooth and elegant from the start of washing to the end of drying. It leaves my hair smooth, shiny, and not stiff, and it's a high-quality shampoo that doesn't mess with silicone. Even after half a day, my hair is still in excellent condition, and I don't feel any dryness on my scalp. It leaves my hair feeling shiny and smooth, and it retains just the right amount of moisture, so I have no complaints! I went to the website and saw the ingredients and the care they put into it, and I was convinced. I'll definitely be buying this again. I've found a great shampoo!
