akkua Calming Hinoki Shampoo

The product was great as it was gentle and the fragrance was not too stimulating. In particular, the texture was very soft and smooth, which was suitable for me as I usually have dry scalp and hair. It's better to use it only once in a while, such as the day after a hair clinic treatment or on days when your hair needs extra nourishment, rather than using it daily.

I was surprised by the small size, and after using it, the nourishing effect made my hair a bit oily. I would only recommend it for dry hair types! For oily skin types, it might cause trouble and make the forehead or scalp too oily too easily!

It was definitely mild and comfortable on the scalp. I could tell why it's called 'Calming' - it's not the type that strips away all the oil, but rather the type that leaves a moderate shine. My hair also felt relatively soft during the time I used this product!!

The scent!!!! It's just not my cup of tea I knew it was a hinoki shampoo, but the subtle, cool scent of the hinoki tree is not what I got. Instead, it's the scent you'd find in an onsen's hinoki bath. That hard-to-describe... slightly fishy scent. It's never been my preference. But at least we don't just use shampoo, right? We also use conditioner and hair oil, so I was able to tolerate it by knowing the scent would be covered up. The scent also doesn't linger very long.

After using this product, I'll use a nicely scented conditioner~^^ If only the scent was different, it would be perfect:(
