Honest reviews from skincare lovers around the globe.
I bought a single-use supply and tried it out. The shampoo lathered very well, and I was able to use it about three times on my hair (about 3cm below the shoulders, thick and thick, and has had it thinned out). The cleansing power wasn't too strong, and I liked that it didn't make my hair feel rough while washing. However, I felt that my scalp became a little sticky after using it every day. I didn't notice any significant changes in the feel or manageability of my hair after washing, so I gave it a mediocre impression. The scent wasn't too strong, but it wasn't my favorite.
I've been using it at my parents' house since it was released, so I use it every time I stay over. It's surprisingly different from the old essential. The old one was rough and made my hair frizzy, so I couldn't use it. This revamped version lathers well, doesn't feel rough after rinsing, and while it doesn't make my hair super manageable, it does leave it fluffy. The finish isn't too heavy, which is great for thin hair (^^) I've also used the yellow one, and compared to the blue, I think the blue one does make it a little more manageable, but I didn't think there was a noticeable difference, so it might be best to decide based on the scent.
I tried the sample and liked it so much that I bought the full product. I have dry hair, but I love how it moisturizes it so well.
I only use the old-style scent and treatment. I bought it because it got high praise in Kazunosuke's video. The texture is thick and firm. It doesn't feel particularly moisturizing. Personally, I found it difficult to use because the texture is so firm that it becomes difficult to get the product out towards the end of the product.
Even if I pre-wash thoroughly, if I have hair styling products on my hair, it doesn't lather at all. On days when I don't use any products, it lathers well. My hair becomes dry and frizzy.
