Japanese Hair Care
Wednesday July 31, 2013
Last weekend I picked up 2 different sets of Japanese shampoos & conditioners.
Je l’aime and Bene Premium Bluria.
Shampoo is a lot like body lotion to me in that I often want a change depending on my mood. I get bored of certain scents or I’ve gained everything I can from certain brands and want a change. Plus Japanese brands often have fragrances difficult to find in the US and their bottles tend to have better aesthetics and hello pump-action.
Bene Premium Bluria [ベーネプレミアムブルーリア – official]
A moisturizing non-silicone rose fragrance hair care that uses rose honey, rose extract, keratin, and hyaluronic acid. This one focuses more on scalp care in order to achieve healthy locks.
Je l’aime [ジュレーム – official]
This is the shiny repair version of the brand. It has a nature fragrance with a combination of orange, lavender, eucalyptus, rose, clove, etc.
Seeing these shampoos available locally is more enticing to me than ordering them online. Shipping can be really pricey for such huge bottles. ┐(‘～`；)┌
I mentioned the Japanese shampoo boom before in this December entry. The increase in new non-silicone shampoos and conditioners is something I can get into as I watch the bath salt trend wane. I prefer silicone-free especially after coloring or perming my hair which I do about twice a year.
And since I’m on the subject of Japanese shampoos here are some of the other brands I’ve tried as well. I often go back to Tsubaki because it’s pretty good and easy to find in my area.
I do have a few holy grail US brands. (・´ｰ｀・)ノ
John Freida’s is fantastic for when I want to get my natural highlights to come out a bit more. But I don’t like using them when I have an active perm. Herbal Essence’s Rose Hip is the best overall for adding volume, shine, and smoothness to my hair. I used to swear by Burt’s Bees Very Volumnizing but their new formula doesn’t give me the same results as before. I’ve tried so many US brands it’s only worth mentioning ones I liked. :)

So many shampoos and conditioners! The recent ones you picked up are really pretty bottles. If only Japanese shampoos were readily available where I live. Hope they turn out are good for your hair :)

I’ve been using the Tsubaki for years. I like the deep red colour one because it smells like berries! :D
-
TSUBAKI is good. ICHIKAMI has been my HG for almost two years now. But I l want to try something new. I got a sample of the BENE Premium Rose Crystal shampoo & treatment and really like it! The rose smell is not long lasting though. I tried the Ma Cherie hair oil in a store once, worked really well but I was not to keen on the peach smell. Is the shampoo peachy too?

Rose of Heaven is my current favorite~

I’ve been thinking on buying John Freida’s shampoo for brunettes. Would you recommend it? :)Kristine from journaldekristine.blogspot.com

Tsubaki hair products are really good! I bought their shampoo and conditioner when I was in Japan. Currently I use Samourai Woman Premium Rose Aromatic shampoo and conditioner. Those are good products too! Have you tried them? I like rose scent too.
Thank you for your blog! I always enjoy to read it!

Japanese products always look so nice! You pick something based on the packaging alone haha. Good way to show your personality!
-
Oh, I totally agree R/T wanting a change a lot when it comes to lotion or shampoo. I often have a couple in rotation because my hair wants something different on different days! I love the Tsubaki in the red packaging. I’m always jonesing for good sulfate and silicone free shampoos! That Bene Premium one looks so nice!
-
Silicone was never an ingredient in shampoo to begin with. That would be counterproductive, don’t you think?
Everyone is being lured in by the shampoo, when the matching conditioner is full of silicone anyways.

Does anyone know what japanese shampoo & conditioner is good for coloured hair? Thanks!

Indeed! The aesthetics alone is a big plus :P
That’s a lot of shampoos and conditioners =o you can put them on their own shelf somewhere.
