It becomes smooth
I have fine, soft, and fine hair that tends to go flat if I'm not careful. I get digital perms to prevent flatness, but I've had trouble getting curls. I bought this shampoo after seeing it recommended online as a shampoo for soft hair, and since I started using it, I've found it easier to get curls. The shampoo is very smooth, and the treatment is light, so it doesn't weigh down my hair at all, which I think is a good fit. I like the scent, and it doesn't linger too long, so I've bought it again and again. I sometimes try other products, but I always come back to this one. The only downside is that it's not sold at my local drugstore, so I have to rely on the online store...
I've only just realised this, but I really like it. I really like how well the shampoo lathers. When rinsing, it leaves a clean, refreshing feeling without any sticky feeling. The treatment also absorbs well, leaving hair smooth and silky. It gives a great finish to straight hair. The scent isn't too strong, so I think it's easy to use. However, if you enjoy a strong fragrance, it may not be quite satisfying.
The scent is subtle and easy to use
[Testing 200 Shampoos] No. 140 Thank you for viewing! Following me encourages me to post more. ★ 20s Hair type: Thick bob / Bleached (2-3 times) I was curious because Yamapi was the visual, so I bought the trial size. The scent is a refreshing floral citrus scent, which I really like. I think it's genderless. The lathering wasn't as good as I expected. I usually blow dry my hair and then thoroughly wash it off with warm water before shampooing, but I felt that the lather was a bit thin. The finish is average, for better or worse. It's smooth and easy to run your fingers through, but it lacks manageability, so I thought maybe I didn't need to go out of my way to get this shampoo...
