Review: Kao Essential Damage Care

Kao Essential Damage Care has two types of range. The Nuance Airy (pink) and Rich Premier (orange).

Have you seen their advertisements in the MRT stations sometime in May / June? Their significant pink and orange left a deep impression on me. They also have a website here.

The Nuance Airy range is for light and bouncy hair.

It is enriched with High Purity Honey and Milk Protein to repair and strengthen damaged hair. It contains Ultra Shine Essence restores shine while Wild Rose Essence leaves a protective layer to keep hair soft and moisturised. It gives limp and flat hair a light and bouncy feel.

The Rich Primer range is for smooth and managable hair.

It is enriched with High Purity Honey and Milk Protein to repair and strengthen damaged hair. It contains Ultra Shine Essence restores shine while Sunflower Oil Essence leaves a protective layer to keep hair soft and moisturised. It gives untamable hair a smooth and manageable feel.

Thank you samplestore. I was given a box to try their products.  

 Bursting with goodies

 The goodies I received :)

Yay, now I have these two hair essences. Nourishing Care Lotion and Anti-frizz Serum. They are also otherwise known as leave-in hair treatment. Previously, I was using Liese hair cocktail (bottom of picture). The moisturising is okay but it leaves an oily film on my palms and I must wash it with soap to remove. The scent is strong but sadly, it isn't lasting. I think the scent lasted less than 5 minutes :(

Hair is dry and  looks damaged

Press one pump of essence (either care lotin or anti-frizz). I'm using the care lotion here. Smear it with your palms and apply on damp hair. Then blow dry your hair until it's dry.

Finally press another half-a-pump and apply it on your hair ends again for double protection.

Next, I tried the anti-frizz essence on another occasion. 

I didn't wash my hair in the morning as I had washed it the night before.  

Applied anti-frizz serum using one pump and comb through. 

Re-applied (photo below) half-a-pump at the hair ends.

I personally like the Nuance Airy range. Mainly because, I love rose scent. Partly because, most girls like pink right? I love pink because it's girly.

My hair smells so sweet now even panpan likes the scent  :))
