Review: Kracie Ichikami Shampoo and Conditioner


Hello.... I'm gonna do a review on this Shampoo and Conditioner that I've been using for about 5 months I think and has already emptied out. I saw this Shampoo and Conditioner on Metro Gandaria City and it cost IDR 95.400 ($ 9.54) each and both are in 550ml pump bottle. I usually use Shiseido Tsubaki Shampoo and Conditoner but since it's not available in Indonesia I have to Pre Order them all the time and it is such a bother. Ohh... and BTW I have a normal scalp and my hair is a bit dry sometimes with a frizzy patch here and there.


Ichikami Damage Care Shampoo
Pure Japanese Herbal Essence: Rice Premium EX-II, Sakura Essence, Black Rice Essense, Chinese Soapberry, Blackberry Lily, Camellia.

*Formulated with concentrated Pure Japanese Botanical extracts to intensively repair damaged hair, resulting in shiny, silky hair.

Defence Hair Care:
Repair + Prevent
-Penetrates to core of hair and promotes silky, refined and manageable hair.
-Mild and graceful scent of sakura.

Usage:
Distribute evenly through wet hair and lather. Rinse thoroughly. For best results, use with ICHIKAMI Hair Care Series.


The shampoo and conditioner are in a different color which I think is a plus because I tends mistake between the Shiseido shampoo and conditioner (both have similar package). The Ichikami shampoo has a white bottle with a white pump. I usually use around 1-2 pump with each hair rinse, so if I rinse twice I use about 4 pumps. The shampoo has a gel-based consistency and it is not too thick and creamy. It has a light flowery scent but not too overwhelming that it makes you nauseous. For those who doesn't like heavy scent on a product may like this one. After I wash my hair I also notice what my hair has a light scent like this shampoo which is great since some shampoo have great smell but doesn't make your hair smells like one.

The shampoo has a decent foam but not too much that it foams like crazy and it doesn't make my hair get tangled up in the shower. After I wash all of the shampoo my hair still remained almost tangle free, I said almost because it is still a bit hard to comb but not too hard that even when you use wide tooth comb your hair still gets tangled with the comb. The shampoo foam is pretty easy to wash from my hair too so less use of water and less time standing under the shower.

As for my hair condition after I use this shampoo, my hair feels smooth, lightweight and airy after using this shampoo for several times. This shampoo doesn't cause any dandruff too. As for hair fall problem, I don't have a hair fall problem and I think I have a pretty normal hair fall each day. But after I use Shiseido Tsubaki I notice that my hair fall is much much lesser than before but when I use this shampoo I don't notice anything. In fact the hair fall rate is back at the time before I use Shiseido Tsubaki. So I think this shampoo do not helps in strengthen my hair.

The Ichikami Conditioner has a black bottle with a pink pump. It also smells really good, has a pearly creamy milky color (did that sounds right?!?) and the consistency is a bit thick and creamy. The conditioner is pretty easy to rinse off and do not leave a greasy or oily feeling and it makes my hair easier to comb when I dry them. After I use it for several time my hair is nicer, smoother and manageable but unfortunately it also do not helps in strengthening my hair because like I said previously even though I do not have a hair fall problem I notice that I have lesser hair fall when I use Shiseido Tsubaki, but when I use Kracie Ichikami the hair fall is back at the time before I use Shiseido Tsubaki.
