How to use
Step 1: After shampooing, thoroughly squeeze out excess water from your hair. Step 2: Apply to the entire hair, massaging it in thoroughly, especially in the mid-lengths and ends, where moisture tends to be lacking. Step 3: Leave on for 2-3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly, making sure not to leave any residue behind. If you are concerned about hair damage, comb your hair using a head spa bath time brush and leave it on for 3-5 minutes, which will allow the hair mask to adhere to each strand of hair and enhance the treatment effect. Then rinse thoroughly.

I usually use La Casta's Curly Hair Mask 11 and Enrich Glow. I found out they had trial products, so I bought it to try it on hair damaged by coloring. I plan to use it after my next coloring. I'd also like to try other trial products.
I love this shampoo and use it all the time.
I bought this at the Cosme Kitchen store. I stopped by after getting my hair colored at the salon and was looking at La Casta's deep mask. The sales associate mentioned that after coloring, hair tends to become alkaline. Washing with No. 16 for about a week can restore the alkaline state and prolong color retention, so I purchased the trial set. The trial set was used for a week after coloring, and the amount was enough for two washes (two weeks' worth) after coloring. It felt pleasant to wash with, but I didn't notice any difference in color retention compared to other shampoos. An AI analysis of all the ingredients revealed that the ingredients weren't particularly likely to prolong color retention, and the cleansing ingredients seemed a little strong. While I don't take everything at face value, the AI analysis showed that Plus Au, which I've been using recently, is better for color retention. There are other dedicated products (from other manufacturers) for restoring hair's alkalinity, and hematin seems to be effective, so I'll try those in the future. So, I probably won't be buying it again.
16 I've been cheating on this with other brands for a while, but I finally used this one. It lathers well, has a nice scent, and I really like it. I've hardly used other types, so I'd like to try them.
