PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Shiseido Aquair Deep Moist Shampoo is a mild, pH-balanced hair wash that is suitable for all kinds of hair. It can effectively repair damaged hair and prevent it from further damages. The shampoo and conditioner will coat the hair with healing ingredients, full of aminophenol and Vitamin E. They work from the scalp to hair ends to strengthen brittle strands, eliminate split ends, and soften dry, coarse, over-processed hair. Within a few days of regular use, your hair's natural condition improves.

Recommended for: Split ends, dry hair, permed hair, colored hair, gray hair, frizzy hair, coarse hair.

FOR BEST RESULT
Apply 1 or 2 teaspoons (or 1 - 2 good sized pumps) to wet hair and softly massage through hair and scalp. Leave in for 5-10 minutes if possible, to help hair absorb healing ingredients. Rinse with warm water. Follow with Conditioner.

WHY I LOVE THIS PRODUCT
One question that I get asked repeatedly (whether on the blog or in person) is how I can manage to bleach my hair and still keep my hair soft and shiny? Well, I'm going to share with you all my secret for keeping my hair healthy.....
INVEST YOUR MONEY IN A GOOD SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER!


I remember when I first wrote this post here, I don't think I was clear enough with my message. So let me reiterate, a good shampoo and conditioner makes ALL the difference in the world! Brands from your local drugstores will not be enough! Trust me, I'm a person who have dyed my hair repeatedly and have had my share of split ends. I have also tried SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many different types of shampoo/conditioner. (Pantene, L'oreal, TRESemmé, Revlon, Matrix and etc etc) and nothing makes my hair as smooth as the shampoo/conditioner by Shiseido. I find that the drugstore shampoos/conditioners always feel nice on but after when my hair dries, the ends will become very rough. Shampoo/conditioner are products that I use on a regular basis (I need to wash my hair everyday) and thus, they really need to be great products.

Aside from this line (FITIT AQUAIR DEEP MOIST) of shampoo/conditioner by Shiseido, I have also tried their TSUBAKI GOLDEN REPAIR DAMAGE CARE. I have been alternating between these two shampoo/conditioner for almost 2 years now and the results never fail to amaze me! My hair is always left smooth and soft even after blow-dry. Out of the two, I still like the Tsubaki one the best because it smells better but this Fitit Aquair is tightly behind in second place.

I also try to use a hair mask on a weekly basis. However, I've been feeling less of a need for a hair mask now because the Shiseido conditioner is just as good, if not even better, than my favourite Essential Nuance Airy Ultra Honey hair mask.

Now, there's a downside to this, the ridiculous price tag! (I did say that it was going to be an investment). The set of shampoo and conditioner is around $30 CAD, which equals to $15 per bottle. That's almost double, if not triple, the price of some drugstore brands. And with my long hair, a single bottle can last for just a little bit over a month. It is also very hard to locate this item. You'll have to either order it online (You can get it online at Artie Style, remember to use the coupon code "THISWASFOREVER" for 10% off on $20+ purchases) or at any type of Asian malls/stores. (If you are in Toronto, you can get them at your local T&T Supermarkets).

But trust me, after using hair products by Shiseido, you won't go back to anything else!

RATING

Cost (3/5) - $15/bottle of shampoo and conditioner can be quite pricey.
