I am back with review for ichikami shampoo & conditioner.
I bought both at $7.90, 200ml each at watsons. I got them one after another cos I think its fairer to gauge ichikami when i use both shampoo & conditioner together. This is the 1st conditioner in my life haha, Cos i have short hair so all along i dont think condi is necesssary for me. Well, i just decided to care more for my hair .
Result:
I have normal scalp, not oily, dry hair. Frizzy hair a bit here and there.
Shampoo claimed to be free from silicon, the ingredient which causes hair loss. But seriously, I dont think its helpful cos I am still dropping quite a bit of hair. Not as much compared to when i was using Loreal ( the shampoo i reviewed previously), slightly lesser only. As for conditioner, they dint state the silicon part so i reckon it contains it.
Shampoo's scent is really nice, more of floral, not too overwhelming as well. The conditioner smells a bit different, not as nice but not too bad too.
Texture of shampoo is towards watery compared to my previous asience. Lather up easily. For the 1st few days, i use it without conditioner cos i haven buy it then. Hair was left smooth and soft. When i started on the conditioner, effect was better. I only use condi once a day and shampoo twice. I realised the conditioner made my fringe a bit too oily sometimes.
It has been nearly 3 weeks since i started using both products, I realised hair is less frizzy as compared to before but still effect not as good as loreal. No doubt hair is left soft, but not smooth enough.
Verdict: Shampoo 6.5/10, conditioner 6/10
I was disappointed by japanese hair products once again, after essential :( Ichikami was much much expensive too, almost twice the price.
I think shampoo fare slightly better than the conditioner.
I was thinking if i should try shiseido tsubaki now since its found in nishino (taka basement). Heard many raves for tsubaki. Nishino has many japanese hair products too, esp shiseido. But after these 2 not so good experiences with jap hair products, I sorta changed my mind. I think i will try redken or kerastase instead since they specialised on hair products. seems like i got myself hooked onto hair stuff lately, after neglecting my hair for the past 2o odd years haha. well, that means more spending =p

sis, conditioner is only to apply to roots of hair. for eg, below ur ears that length of hair. not for top of scalp cos ur hair there is usually much oilier fr natural hair oils, and dont need to condition if not u'll get oily scalp and drop more hair!!!
As is cos my fringe was pretty long, so i apply condi at the roots area but sometimes they wil kinda like lump tgt. haha.
You should only Shampoo once per wash. Twice per week is better but I feel weird doing that lol. If you are shampooing twice when you shower, you are stripping your hair of its natural oils thus leading to breakage(falling out)and also frizz and dry strands. For an oily scalp use a clarifying shampoo once a week and a normal shampoo for other days. Only apply conditioner to to the ends,. Also, If your hair falls out excessively you may want to see if their is a underlying medical issue.
