ツバキ ダメージケアウオーター (さらさら) Tsubaki Damage Care Water Review

bottle designed by Mika Ninagawa

To celebrate Tsubaki's 10th Anniversary, they have created a shampoo/conditioner/damage care water set with a Japanese photographer: Mika Ninagawa. The bottles and bag were designed by her. The price was very reasonable: ¥1080 for the whole set! So obviously, I got the set. 

I have not heard of Damage Care water before... I have only heard of hair spray, hair serum and hair oil. So this was definitely an interesting product for me. 

Country: Made in Japan

Brand: Tsubaki (parent company: Shiseido)

Amount: 220mL

instructions and ingredients

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical using this product because it has a strong  Tsubaki shampoo smell... I was afraid there were a lot of chemicals inside... and... I was right... I was a bit surprised as how a product with such a simple name have so many chemicals >___<.

Nonetheless... I still gave this product a try. I tried to avoid my scalp area because I didn't want all these chemicals to sit on my scalp for long periods of time (e.g. 24 hours).

Tsubaki's Damage Care Water has two types: 1. Rustling and 2. Moist. Since I wasn't familiar with Damage Care Waters, I decided to follow the shampoo options which suited my needs... I chose the Volume Touch set (purple coloured). They paired this set with the Rustling Damage Care Water.

1. after washing hair, towel dry

• (this product can also be used to dry hair)

ingredients, country of origin, amount

impressions:

• strong aroma
• very light
• did not irritate my scalp or skin
• made my hair easier to manage (less tangles)
• literally "repaired" my hair
• only took 1 use to feel and see the effects

I was definitely impressed and surprised with this product! Seriously!! it works!!! Despite the strong scent... I love this! It didn't irritate my scalp and somehow made it easier to dry my hair (even air drying time was significantly less).

score: 9/10
